Care and Use
Cleaning:
Turn off the coffee machine and remove the plug from the outlet. Do not clean the coffee machine when it is hot. Never immerse the coffee machine in water or put it under running water.
Clean the body of the coffee machine with a damp cloth or sponge.
Open the filter holder and remove the paper or permanent filter. The filter holder can be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of a dishwasher.
We recommend washing carafes by hand with a mild detergent.
Do not use scouring agents or harsh cleansers on any part of the coffee machine.
Descaling:
Descaling is necessary to keep your coffee machine running efficiently. The frequency of descaling depends on the hardness of your water and how often you use the coffee machine. If you notice the brew cycle has slowed it is generally time to descale the machine.
Before descaling, remove the filter holder.
You may use either the Krups descaling solution diluted in 8 ounces of water or 8 ounces of white vinegar.
Pour the solution or vinegar into water reservoir (b) and start the coffee machine (without coffee).
Allow half the liquid to run into the carafe, then switch off and let stand for 1 hour.
Restart the coffee machine to complete the cycle.
Rinse the coffee machine by running it through 2 full cycles with water only.
On the timer models if the display continues to read "CALC" repeat the process again.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons including the following:
Read all instructions.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons, do not place cord, plugs or appliance in water or other liquid.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Keep appliance out of reach of children.

Burns can occur from touching hot plate, hot metal parts, hot water or steam. Exercise caution.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, before cleaning the appliance, and before storing.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest KRUPS Service Center for examination, repair or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by KRUPS may result in fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
To disconnect, turn the control to ?off? then remove plug from wall outlet. Do not yank cord, instead grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.
Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during the brewing cycles.
Do not pour liquids other than water and descaling solutions specified in this manual into the water tank.
Do not pour cold water into the water reservoir immediately after brewing. Allow the unit to cool down before refilling the reservoir.
This appliance is intended for household use only.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not drape cord over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
We do not recommend using an extension cord with this device.
If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than other). To reduce risks of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
