PREPARING ESPRESSO AND ORDINARY COFFEE

YOUR APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED TO MAKE COFFEE FROM COFFEE BEANS ONLY. When you first make coffee with the machine or after a long period of absence or a cleaning or scale removal procedure, a little steam and hot water will come out of the steam nozzle (priming). Splashing or scalding may occur if the coffee outlets are set too high in relation to the size of the cups. Preparing an espresso The quantity of water for an espresso must be between 20 and 70 ml. Press the button, wait for the end of pre-heating and perform a rinsing operation if you wish. Each time you plug your machine in, it will carry out an initialisation cycle. The drink selection menu will be displayed - Fig. 16. Put a cup under the coffee outlets. You can lower or raise the coffee outlets to suit the size of your cups - Fig. 17. Use the rotating button to select your drink - Fig. 12 and conrm by pressing the OK key - Fig. 13. You can change the volume of water at any time using the rotating button - Fig. 12. To stop coffee flowing into the cup, you can either again press a key or turn the rotating button to reduce volume. Making a coffee The amount of water required for a coffee is between 80 and 160 ml. Making a long coffee The amount of water required for a long coffee is between 120 and 240 ml. The machine automatically carries out a double cycle, do not remove your cup before the process has ended. The ground coffee is rst moistened using a little hot water after the grinding stage. A few moments later, percolation as such begins. There is a temperature setting function to control how hot your coffee is. DO NOT REMOVE THE WATER COMPARTMENT BEFORE THE END OF THE CYCLE (that is around 15 seconds after the coffee has finished dripping through). 2-cup function Your appliance enables you to prepare 2 cups of coffee or espresso for the following 3 kinds of drink : espresso / strong espresso / coffee.

The maximum amount of hot water per cycle is limited to 300 ml. PREPARING STEAM Steam froths up the milk to make a cappuccino or a caffe latte, for example, and also heats up liquids. As you need a higher temperature to produce steam than to make an espresso, the appliance runs an additional pre-heating phase for steam. While the screen displays the drink selection menu, press the “steam” key - Fig. 18. A screen will inform you that the appliance is being pre-heated. Once the pre-heating phase has been completed, a message will ask you to place a container under the steam nozzle - Fig. 5. Press the “steam” key again to start generating steam. A little water will be produced rst and then steam will start. Use the same key to stop steam generation. BE CAREFUL, BECAUSE THE CYCLE DOES NOT STOP IMMEDIATELY. Frothing milk We recommend that you use pasteurised or UHT milk that has been recently opened. Do not use untreated milk. After the steam function has been used, the nozzle will be hot, and we recommend that you wait for a few moments before handling it. Check that the steam nozzle is correctly tted - Fig. 19.

PROBLEMS AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

PROBLEMS CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

The appliance does not switch on when the “On/Off” is pressed. Check that the plug of the power cord is pushed correctly into the mains socket. Water or steam comes incorrectly out of the steam nozzle. In case of repeated operation, several drops may drip from the steam nozzle. The espresso or coffee is not hot enough. Change the coffee temperature setting. Heat the cups by rinsing them with hot water. The coffee is too light or not strong enough. Check that the coffee bean tank has coffee in it and that it is owing correctly. Avoid using oily, caramelised or avoured coffee. Reduce the volume of coffee using the central knob. Turn the grinding neness knob towards the left for a ner grind. Prepare in two cycles using the 2 cup function. The coffee ows too slowly. Turn the grinding neness knob towards the right for a coarser grind (may depend on the type of coffee used). Carry out one or two rinsing cycles. The coffee is not creamy enough. Turn the grinding neness knob towards the left for a ner grind (may depend on the type of coffee used). Change the Claris Aqua Filter System cartridge (follow the installation procedure on page 13). Carry out one or two rinsing cycles. The appliance does not serve any coffee. An incident has been detected during the preparation. The appliance resets itself automatically and is then ready for a new cycle. Why can I not run descaling/ why does my machine not request a descaling cycle? The machine only requests a descaling cycle once it has made a certain number of drinks using steam. You have used ground coffee instead of bean coffee. Use your vacuum cleaner to suck out the pre-ground coffee in the coffee bean tank. The grinder makes a strange noise. There are foreign particles in the grinder. Contact KRUPS’ Customer Service. The grinding neness knob is hard to turn. Only change the grinder setting when it is operating.25 ENGLISH

PROBLEMS CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

The steam does not come out of the nozzle. After switching off your appliance and leaving it to cool: Make sure the tip of the steam nozzle is properly afxed. Make sure the steam nozzle is not clogged at the aerator (if necessary clean the steam nozzle aerator with the needle supplied). Empty the tank and remove the Claris lter. Fill the tank with mineral water high in calcium (> 100 mg/litre or .015oz/gallon), it may take as many as 5 to 10 cycles of steam at 60 seconds each cycle to achieve a continuous jet of steam. There is not enough milk froth. Using the needle supplied unblock the small air inlet at the top of the nozzle if required. Use a cold container and milk that has been opened recently. Try changing the type of milk if this does not work (UHT or pasteurised). The milk froth is too bubbly. Check that the two ends of the small stainless steel tube are tted correctly into the exible part of the steam nozzle. The Auto-Cappuccino accessory does not suck the milk (accessory sold separately). Ensure that the tube immersed in the milk is not blocked. Check that the exible tube is not twisted and that it is correctly tted into the accessory to avoid any air being sucked in. After switching off your appliance and leaving it to cool, unblock the outlet of the Auto-Cappuccino accessory. After emptying the coffee grounds collector, the warning message is still displayed on the screen. Correctly replace the coffee grounds collector and follow the instuctions on the screen. Wait at least 6 seconds before replacing them. The power has been cut off during a cycle. The appliance resets itself automatically when the power is switched back on and is ready for a new cycle. There is water or coffee underneath the appliance. The drip collector tray has overowed: empty it and clean the coffee grounds collector. Check that the drip tray is tted correctly. Do not remove the water tank before the end of the cycle. A message appears. Unplug the appliance for 20 seconds, remove the Claris cartridge and if required, put it back into service. If the fault persists, note the fault number and contact KRUPS’ Customer Service. If coffee ows behind the coffee nozzles. Pour cold or room-temperature water into the tank. Reduce the temperature level.26
