Decalcifying of the coffeemaker

Cleaning

■Always unplug this appliance before cleaning. Clean the filter basket, carafe, and lid in a solution of warm water and mild liquid soap. These parts can also be placed in the upper level of your dishwasher away from the heating and drying element for safe effective cleaning.

■Never use scouring agents.

■Never immerse the appliance itself in water. To clean, simply wipe off with a soft, damp cloth.

■Never use a cloth to clean inside of the water chamber, as this might leave fuzzy deposits in the chamber. Just rinse with cold water periodically.

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

Recognizable indications that descaling is necessary are:

-increased noise during boiling

-longer preparation time.

If usage is frequent, descaling should be carried out as follows:

-with soft water once a year

-with medium hard water every quarter year

-with hard water once a month.

In doubt regarding the water hardness in your area, you may call your local water department.

For ecological and health reasons, we recommend the exclusive use of biological materials such as citric acid, which can be obtained from KRUPS Consumer Service Department or drugstores.

Dissolve 2 tablespoonfuls of citric acid in 1/2 quart water and pour into the water container. Run this through 2 or 3 times as if making coffee, but using no ground coffee.

The hot descaling solution must be allowed to cool down before being poured into the water container. Finally do the same twice using clear water.

For the best result...

...always use fresh, cold water (warm water might be stale and have mineral deposits which would impair the flavor of the coffee).

...we recommend that you grind your own beans. Freshly ground beans deliver more aroma and flavor. Use one KRUPS measuring scoop of beans per cup.

...serve coffee immediately after brewing.

...never reheat coffee.
