If your espresso machine runs short of water, a sonor signal and all leds blinking incite you to fill the water tank.

Your espresso machine switches to stand by mode after 30 mn for energy saving and switches off after 1H 30 of none use.

Maintenance

-Never wash your espresso machine accessories in the dishwasher.

After use, the water tank must be emptied.

. Drip tray

This must be emptied after using the appliance after taking off the grid (19). If several espressos are being prepared one after the other, the drip tray should be emptied from time to time (about once every 7 - 8 espressos). The presence of water is normal and does not signify a leak. If necessary, clean the drip tray and its grid with water and a little non-abrasive washing-up liquid, rinse and dry. Replace it correctly (20).

.The brewing head, the filter and the filter holder

These must be cleaned after each use. All you need to do is wipe a damp cloth over the brewing head of your appliance and to wash the other accessories in water and a little non- abrasive washing-up liquid, rinse and dry.

If the brewing head is heavily clogged up, unscrew the grid, clean it and refit it, pressing down firmly (21).

When your espresso is not being used, do not leave the filter holder on the appliance to prevent wear on the gasket.

.The cup warming plate: remove this to clean it with water and a little non-abrasivewashing-up liquid, rinse and dry.

. The auto cappuccino accessory

For more thorough cleaning the auto cappuc- cino accessory can be dismantled from the appliance.

Clean it with water, a little non-abrasive washing-up liquid and a small brush. Rinse and dry it before refitting it.

Please note the direction of fitting the flexible tube : engage the straight-cut end in the auto cappuccino Accessory.

Descaling

Descaling of your espresso should be done fairly frequently with citric or tartaric acid.

Due to the acid substance, we recommend protecting your your worktop and sink unit during the descaling process, especially if it is made of marble or stone. Isolate your espresso with a tea towel, a tablecloth or a tray.

However, we would advise you to use the Krups descaling accessory, reference F054, which is available from Krups after-sales service centres. This accessory includes, apart from two descaling doses, a testing strip for water hardness to assess the frequency of descaling of your appliance in normal use. Descaling depends on the hardness of the water, but also on the use cycle. The frequency of descaling indicated by the F054 accessory is thus given by way of indication only.

- Then follow the following method:

Unscrew the grid from the head of the appliance and clean it (21).

Dissolve a sachet of KRUPS descaling accessory, reference F054, in half a litre of lukewarm water and pour the whole amount into the empty water tank.

start the appliance (4).

Place a container, as large as possible, beneath the auto cappuccino accessory.

As soon as the blue operating control lamp glows continuously, the appliance is ready

Pressing the hot water button (15), run through 1/3 of the liquid.

Then, pressing the hot water button (15) to stop.

Move the container under the brewing head.

Run the second third of the liquid immediately by pressing the coffee button (10) as many times as necessary.
