TO FROTH MILK (SOLD SEPARATELY)
The auto-cappuccino accessory makes it easier to make a cappuccino or a caffe latte.
It is made up of a special dual-position nozzle, a stainless steel milk container and a
pipe.
This accessory may be sold separately.
„

Assemble all the different pieces. Choose the caffè latte or cappuccino position on
the special nozzle.
„
„
Fill up the milk container and place a cup or a glass underneath the special auto-
cappuccino nozzle.
„
„
Turn the switch to the "steam preheating" position.
„
„
Once the light has stopped blinking, turn the switch to the "steam" position.
„
„
Once the froth has been formed, turn the switch to the "stop" position. The
appliance will now automatically cool itself by launching 3 intermittent pumping
cycles. Once this is automatic operation is complete, you can make a coffee.
To prevent the milk from drying on the auto-cappuccino accessory, we strongly
recommend.

7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
„
„
Do not wash your espresso machine accessories in the dishwasher.
CLEANING OF THE APPLIANCE
„
„
Unplug the power supply before cleaning and let the appliance cool down.
„
„
Clean the outside of the appliance from time to time with a damp cloth. After use,
the water tank must be emptied.
„
„
Rinse inside the tank regularly.
„
„
When a thin white layer starts to form in the tank, carry out a descaling operation
(see paragraph 9 "DESCALING").
CLEANING OF THE DRIP TRAY
The drip tray must be emptied after each time the appliance is used. Lift up slightly and
remove it from the appliance.
If multiple espressos are prepared one after the other, it should be emptied from time
to time (every 7 to 8 espressos approximately) (fig.19 and 20). The presence of water is
normal and is not the sign of a leak.
If necessary, clean the drip tray and its grid with water and a little gentle washing-up
liquid, rinse and dry. When reassembling the components, make sure everything is in
the right place.
CLEANING OF THE PERCOLATION HEAD AND FILTER
HOLDER
„
„
They must be cleaned after each use. Simply wipe a damp cloth over the
percolation head (fig. 21) and clean the filter holder under running water and use a
small amount gentle washing-up liquid.
9
„
„
Do not use alcohol or solvent-based cleaning products.
„
„
For best results, you can activate the "EJECT" button several times during rinsing.
We recommend that you shake the filter holder thoroughly in order to remove all
the water.
„
„
Rinse and dry.
„
„
When not using your espresso coffee maker, do not leave the filter holder on it, in
order to prevent wear to the seal.
For more thorough cleaning, the filter holder can be dismantled:
„
„
You can remove the black plastic part where the coffee outlets and the "EJECT"
button are to be found: turn it to the left and pull sharply (fig. 22).
„
„
Clean the various components under running water and a little gentle washing-up
liquid.
„
„
Rinse and dry.
„
„
Replace the black plastic part in the metal holder, turn it to the right until the two
arrows on each component line up.
If the percolation head is heavily clogged up, unscrew the grid using a screw-driver,
clean it and refit it, pressing down firmly (fig.23).
CLEANING OF THE STEAM NOZZLE
„
„
This accessory consists of 2 parts: one part which is the plastic support and the
other which is the metal protection cylinder.
„
„
Before cleaning, unlock the nozzle from the articulated arm by turning it to the left
(fig.16, 16.2).
„
„
Then slide the metal cylinder along the plastic support (fig.16.3).
„
„
Clean these two parts with tap water and some mild washing-up liquid (fig.17).
„
„
Rinse and dry.
„
„
Once the parts have been properly cleaned, put the metal cylinder back on the
support.
„
„
Make sure that you don't damage the silicone seal which makes the nozzle
watertight (fig.16.3).
„
„
Insert the nozzle on the articulated arm then lock to the right (fig.18.1, 18.2).
8. DESCALING
The guarantee does not cover appliances which become faulty because the descaling
operations have not been carried out regularly.
Descale your espresso maker regularly using white vinegar or a packet of citric or
sulphamic acid which you can buy in most hardware stores.
We recommend that you use the Krups descaling accessory, reference F054, available
in Krups authorized service centres. In addition to two descaling sachets, this accessory
includes a water hardness tape tester to assess the required frequency with which your
appliance should be descaled, in normal use. The amount of scale depends on the
hardness of the water but also the level of use. The frequency of descaling given by the
F054 accessory is therefore purely indicative. However, you can refer to the following
table:
