Krups EA9000 Series Manual

INTRODUCTION

With your machine, you can prepare a wide range of drinks; espressos, coffees or milk-based drinks, entirely automatically. It is designed so that you can enjoy the same quality at home as in a restaurant, whatever the time of the day and throughout the week. You will appreciate both the quality of the result in your cup and its superior ease-of-use.
Thanks to its Compact Thermoblock System with built-in brewing chamber, its 15 bar pump, and because it can use either coffee beans freshly ground just before the coffee is made or ground coffee fed via a funnel, your machine will give you ristrettos, espressos and coffees hot from the first cup with maximum aroma and a fine creamy golden-brown top.
With its exclusive and patented system for preparing milk-based drinks automatically, you can easily make delicious cappuccinos and caffe lattes, without compromise: hot, with the "three layer effect" and thick, creamy froth. Its automatic steam nozzle rinsing and cleaning programmes guarantee hassle-free hygiene for long-lasting performance, cup after cup.
With the hot water function, you can prepare teas and other drinks instantaneously.
You can also personalise all of these drinks using the "Favourites" menu. You can set the volume, proportions, intensity and temperature of your drinks.
The colour touch-screen makes navigation ergonomic and comfortable. It will guide you through each step, from preparing your drink to servicing your machine.

A FEW EXPERT TIPS

Here are a few tips for achieving the best results from your machine:

• The quality of your water significantly influences the quality of the flavours. Limescale and chlorine can alter the taste of your coffee. We recommend that you use the Claris Aqua Filter System cartridge or low mineral-content water to preserve all of the flavours of your coffee.
• When preparing ristretto, espresso and coffee recipes, we recommend that you use tulip-shaped porcelain cups, preheated beforehand (by running them under hot water, for instance), and whose size is appropriate for the quantity you want to make. For your cappuccino, caffe latte and hot milk recipes, we recommend that you use thick glass cups, for an appealing, precise and gourmet presentation.
• Roasted coffee beans can lose their flavour if they are not protected. We recommended that you use the amount of beans required for your consumption for the next 4-5 days. As the machine automatically detects when there are no beans, you can be certain that you will always have sufficient beans for preparing your coffee drinks. Though the quality of coffee beans is subjective and varied, we can nevertheless recommend that you use arabica rather than robusta. After a few trials, you will learn how to mix and roast the coffee beans according to your tastes. Lastly, please remember that oily and caramelised coffee beans must be avoided, as they can damage your machine.
• The quality and fineness of the grinding determine the strength of the flavours and the quality of the crema. The finer the ground, the richer the crema. Moreover, it must be adapted to the drink you want: fine for ristretto and espresso, coarser for coffee. For your comfort, the machine carries out this operation automatically.
• Thanks to the ground coffee funnel and spoon, you can choose to serve your drink differently. You can vary the flavours and strengths of your coffee as you wish. Ground coffee should ideally be stored in the refrigerator in a hermetically sealed bag.
• You can use pasteurised or UHT, skimmed, semi-skimmed or whole milk, straight from the refrigerator (7°C). Using special milks (microfiltered, raw, fermented, enriched, etc.) can produce less satisfactory results especially regarding the quality of the froth. However, we recommend that you use fresh, cold milk for pre-programmed recipes.

Main operations of the appliance

Turning the appliance on or off

Press the "On/Off" button.

Filling the bean container

• Put coffee beans into the container, which has a capacity of about 250 g.
  Open the bean container lid. Put in the coffee beans. Close the bean container lid.
  

• The machine prompts you to fill the bean container although there are beans in it: Some types of coffee can interfere with optical sensors; you must shake the beans with your hand to make the function operational once again.
• The machine detects beans, but the coffee dispensed is very/too light: Some beans (especially those that are too large or too greasy) do not easily go into the grinder. Use your hand to ease them into the grinder and/or change the type of coffee beans.
• The machine does not detect the absence of coffee beans: Check that a bean is not obstructing the optical sensors. Otherwise, the function is not operational.

Never put ground coffee or water into the coffee bean container. Ensure that no foreign bodies (e.g. small stones, hard wood) can get into the coffee bean container as they could damage the grinder (not covered by the guarantee).

Any contact of the conductive parts of the appliance with humidity or water may lead to fatal injuries due to the presence of electricity!

Filling the water tank

Open the right door.

Lift and pull the water tank towards you.

Fill the tank. Replace the tank.

• The machine prompts you to fill the tank with water although there is water in it:

The machine includes a mechanism that manages the water level required for the requested recipe. It is therefore normal that the water level is not always the same in the tank when there is a request to fill it.

• The machine does not detect my tank: Please check whether the tank has been inserted fully (until you feel resistance).

Only put water in the tank!

Emptying the used coffee collector

Open the left door.

Remove the used coffee collector by pulling it towards you. Empty the used grounds. Replace the used coffee collector.

• Open the left door (15). Remove the used coffee collector (5). Empty and clean it before putting it back in place.

Do not wash it in the dishwasher.

At each stage check the messages on the touch screen

Emptying the drip trays

Remove the small drip tray.

Empty the small drip tray.

Remove the large drip tray.

Empty the large drip tray. Wipe the metal contacts.

Replace the large and small drip trays.

Your machine has two drip trays (6 and 7).

• The small drip tray collects drips from the coffee nozzles but can be removed for preparations with tall glasses.
• The large drip tray collects used water and overflows from the small drip tray.
• The large drip tray is fitted with an overflow detection sensor.
• When it needs to be emptied, the request will be made on the screen.
• The cover of this tray is necessary to avoid excessive condensation and water spills.

The cover and the grid can fall when you empty the drip tray.

• If the tray is dirty, clean it under running water. If the metal contacts are dirty, clean by scrubbing them under water. Wipe the metal contacts dry before putting them back in the machine.
• The drip trays will be separated when you empty them. Avoid spilling water as much as possible on the metal contacts located at the end of the drip tray.
• If the machine asks you to empty the drip tray when it is empty, check whether the metal contacts at the back of the drip tray are clean and thoroughly dry.

Adjusting the coffee nozzle height

If using a caffe latte glass without the small drip tray

* Caffe latte glass not supplied
Your machine is supplied with two cups only which can be used for cappuccino or a caffe latte.

FIRST USE

Connect the appliance to an earthed mains socket. Voltage 220 - 240V. Failure to do so means that you run the risk of fatal injury due to electricity! Respect the safety guidelines (see section "Safety guidelines").

• Place your machine on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface away from water splashes and sources of heat. Ensure that the location chosen is sufficiently well ventilated, as the appliance gives off heat. Please do not place the appliance on surfaces such as marble. Remove the protective films from the display and grids.

Before first use

• Before using the appliance for the first time, check the hardness of your water so that you can set the appliance accordingly. This operation should also be carried out when you use your machine in a place where the hardness of the water is different or if you notice a difference in the hardness of the water. To check the water hardness, use the stick supplied with your machine or contact your local water authority.

Measuring the water hardness

• Fill a glass of water and immerse the stick in it for 5 seconds. Wait for a minute before reading the water hardness. You will be asked for the hardness class observed (from 0 to 4) during the initial setup of the machine. The red zones on the stick indicate the degree of hardness: class 0 = no red zone, i.e. your water has a very low mineral content. Your water is more or less hard depending on the number of red zones. The details of the classes are given in the table below:
  

Degree of hardness	Class 0	Class 1	Class 2	Class 3	Class 4
°dH	< 3°	> 4°	> 7°	> 14°	> 21°
°e	< 3,75°	> 5°	> 8,75°	> 17,5°	> 26,25°
°f	< 5,4°	> 7,2°	> 12,6°	> 25,2°	> 37,8°
Appliance setting	0	1	2	3	4

The water hardness classes for the initial setting of the appliance (section "Initial settings")

• When your machine displays this screen to you, or when you have performed the water hardness test, you must indicate the number of red and green zones, using the touch screen. If the stick shows 2 red zones and 2 green zones, press the first two red squares and the last two green squares on the touch screen. The screen will then show an identical representation of your stick.
  

If you move home or if the quality of your water changes significantly, you can also reset the water hardness at any time.

Cappuccino

To prepare your Krups milk-based recipes to perfection:

• The recipes suggested were made with cold semi-skimmed UHT milk, straight from a refrigerator (7°C), and served in the cups supplied with the machine.
• You can also use (fresh) cold pasteurised or UHT skimmed, semi-skimmed or whole milk, straight from the refrigerator. What is important is that it should be fresh and at this temperature. Using special milks (microfiltered, raw, fermented, enriched, etc.) can produce less satisfactory results especially when it comes to the quantity and quality of the froth and therefore are not recommended.
• To guarantee the best results, we recommend that you follow the indicated proportions and use the cups supplied with your machine
• If you use a cup other than those supplied with the product, make sure you choose a cup suitable for the volume in the recipe (taking frothing into account).
• If your milk is at room temperature, reduce the pre-heating time (press >> during the recipe).

1. Press the "Cappuccino" button on the touch screen.
   
   • If the machine detects no beans when you request this recipe, it will ask you to fill the bean container (see section "Main operations of the appliance").
   • If the machine detects no water when you request this recipe, it will ask you to fill the tank.
2. Choosing the volume (small/medium/large).
   
   • The screen shows the last volume setting associated with cappuccino (volume of milk + volume of coffee + volume of froth). You can modify this selection using the arrows on the left and right of the indicated value (small – medium - large).

You are not obliged to carry out the cleaning programme immediately the appliance requests it, but it must be carried out reasonably soon. Only use KRUPS cleaning tablets otherwise the guarantee will not cover any material damage caused by the use of other brands of tablets. Cleaning tablets are available from your KRUPS After-Sales Service Centre.

To respect the guarantee conditions, the cleaning cycle must be carried out when the appliance requests you not to postpone it further.

If the cleaning programme is interrupted by a power cut or accidental unplugging of the machine, it must be started again from the beginning. A new cleaning tablet will be required in this case. The programme must be started again completely in order to rinse the water circuit and eliminate any traces of harmful cleaning products.

Automatic descaling programme of the steam circuit

A message on the screen will indicate when a descaling programme needs to be run for the appliance. The frequency of this programme depends on the quality of the water used (the harder the water, the more often the appliance has to be descaled) and on whether a Claris Aqua Filter System filter is used or not. To run the descaling programme, you will need a recipient with a capacity of at least 0.6 litres that may be placed underneath the coffee nozzles and the steam nozzle, and a KRUPS descaling sachet (F 054 – a 40 g sachet is supplied in the Welcome Pack). The automatic descaling programme has three phases: one descaling cycle and two rinsing cycles. The programme lasts approximately 22 minutes.

You are not obliged to carry out the descaling programme immediately the appliance requests it, but it must be carried out reasonably soon. Only use KRUPS descaler sachets supplied in the Welcome Pack; otherwise the guarantee will not cover any material damage caused by the use of other brands of sachets. Descaler sachets are available from your KRUPS After-Sales Service Centre.
