GETTING STARTED & APPLIANCE INSTALLATION
SWITCHING ON THE MACHINE
Danger: Connect the appliance to a grounded 230 V socket. Otherwise, you expose yourself to fatal injuries due to
the presence of electricity!
Respect the safety information stated in the leaflet "Safety information".
GETTING STARTED (see 1. 1st use)
Respect the safety information stated in the leaflet "Safety information". Place the appliance on a stable, heat-resistant
surface that is clean and dry. Priming the machine allows the water circuits to be filled, so that the machine can operate.
Preheating and automatic rinsing will take place. For more information, see chapter 1 "1ST USE" of the quick start guide
- fig 1 to 14. Once you have finished setting it up, the machine automatically chooses a recipe by default.
You can make your first coffee!
PUTTING THE MACHINE ON STANDBY
Depending on the preparation, the machine performs automatic rinsing when it is put on standby. The cycle lasts only a
few seconds and stops automatically.
Hints and Tips
The quality of the water strongly influences the quality of the aromas. Limescale and chlorine can alter the taste
of coffee. To preserve all the aromas of your coffee, we recommend that you use a KRUPS Claris Aqua Filter System
cartridge, with dry residue below 800 mg/ L (see label on bottle). See chapter of the manual: "INSTALLING THE
FILTER" leaflet
When preparing drinks we recommend using preheated cups (by passing them under hot water) whose size is adapted
to your desired quantity.
The roasted coffee beans can lose their aroma if they are not protected. We advise you to use the amount of beans
equivalent to your consumption over the next 2-3 days and to choose 250 g bags.
The quality of coffee beans is variable and tastes are subjective. Arabica will give you fine, floral aromas unlike Robusta
which is higher in caffeine, more bitter and full-bodied. It is common to mix the two types of coffee to get a more
balanced coffee. Please do not hesitate to seek advice from your roaster.
We do not recommend the use of oily and caramelised beans as these can damage the machine.
The fineness of the ground beans influences the strength of the aromas and the quality of the crema. The more finely
ground the beans, the smoother the crema. Grinding can also be adapted for the desired drink.

INSTALLING THE FILTER

WHY INSTALL A FILTER CARTRIDGE?
The KRUPS Claris Aqua Filter System cartridge helps to optimise the taste of your coffee, to limit the build-up of limescale
and to reduce maintenance operations. To ensure that your machine has a long life, we recommend that you use a filter
cartridge. This accessory is available from the KRUPS.fr website.
WHEN SHOULD YOU CHANGE THE KRUPS CLARIS AQUA FILTER SYSTEM CARTRIDGE?
– 2 months after installation.
– We advise that, when you install your cartridge, you turn the grey ring at the far end of the filter cartridge
to show the date of installation + 2 months.
