Krups 872 manual Cleaning the steam nozzle

ATTENTION:

W The top closure of the “Perfect Froth” attachment (see figure 15 Part A) has a very fine hole which draws air into the milk.

If this tiny hole gets clogged, “Perfect Froth’ will not work properly. So never immerse the top closure in milk or foam.

P j

Before cleaning, turn OFF the machine, unplug it, and allow to cool down.

The filter basket, carafe, carafe lid and the overflow grid can be put in the dishwasher’s upper rack away from the heating/drying element.

Do not put the filter holder and the cup adapter in the dishwasher. Wash with soap and water under the faucet.

Never immerse the body of your “Espresso Bravo Plus” in water or any other liquid.

Clean the filter ring with a damp cloth and remove ground coffee. If there is water left in the boiler container, let the machine cool down, remove all loose parts and empty through the top opening.

Cleaning the steam nozzle

Clean the steam nozzle each time after you have immersed it in the milk, otherwise the inside of the nozzle becomes clogged and milk deposits on the outside harden and become difficult to remove.

Wipe off the outside with a wet cloth.

nFor a thorough cleaning, unscrew the nozzle (see figure 16) and remove all milk particles (use a needle and rinse under faucet), replace nozzle, and be sure to screw on tightly.

Cleaning the “Perfect Froth” attachment

nFor a thorough cleaning of the “Perfect Froth’ attachment remove part C (see figure 15).

All parts should be rinsed in warm water. If the small suction opening in part A is clogged it can be opened with a fine needle.

Cleaning the brewing sieve

W If the brewing sieve becomes very dirty, screw it out of the brewing head with the aid of a coin and then clean it. Wipe down the brewing head with a moist cloth and then screw the sieve with the seal firmly back into position (see figure 17).

A CAUTION:

Do not try to open or disassemble the main body of the machine.

The espresso machine must be decalcified regularly. The frequency depends on the hardness of your water and how often you use the espresso machine.

Before descaling, the brewing sieve on the brewing head MUST first be screwed off.

1.Remove all lime and coffee residues from the brewing sieve and the brewing head.

2.Pull off the “Perfect Froth” attachment.
