Changing The Seals - Krups T8 Instructions For Use Manual

Cleaning
Never dip the main part of the appliance
into water. Always pull out the mains plug
and allow the appliance to cool down before
any cleaning operation.
The water container and the heater are
made of stainless steel and can thus be
cleaned easily. Never clean the water
container with scouring powders, but just
wipe it out with a moist cloth.
Do not try to remove lime residues from the
water container by using hard objects or
abrasive materials. Such remainders could
become lodged in the brewing pipe and
block it (see "Removal of Limescale").
The glass jug, filter and cover plate can be
cleaned in the dish-washer.
Wash the filter cover in warm water with
ordinary washing-up liquid and then swill it
out thoroughly.
From time to time undo the knurled screw
under the filter lid and clean the inside of
the lid (10).

Changing the seals

If after a lengthy period of use the water
container cover, the filter lid or the hot
water outlet nozzle cease to fit properly due
to the fact that the seals have become worn
or perished, replacement seals can be
obtained from your KRUPS dealer.
The outlet nozzle seal is best removed
from its seating with the aid of a suitable
tool (e.g. screwdriver). Make sure that the
new outlet nozzle seal is pressed firmly in
place (11).
Removal of Limescale
The appliance must be descaled from time
to time, the frequency depending upon the
hardness of the local water.
Descaling is necessary when the coffee-
making operation takes noticeably longer
than usual or if a white layer has been
formed on the heating rod.
For descaling purposes use only citric or
tartaric acid, as other descaling agents could
attack the surface of the circulatory system.
Dissolve 2 tablespoonfuls in half a litre of
water and pour the solution into the water
container.
Insert the mains plug, switch on the
appliance and allow the descaling solution
to boil for 10 minutes in the open water
container. Then put on the cover plate and
insert the glass jug complete with filter and
lid. Now allow the solution to run through
as when preparing coffee, but without using
a filter paper.
Dependant upon the degreee of calcination,
repeat the operation 2-3 times with the
same still hot solution, after which allow
2 glass jugfuls of clear water to run through.
Disposal
The packaging consists entirely of
environmentally-friendly materials, which
should be passed on to the appropriate
recycling agencies.
Enquiries regarding the disposal
arrangements for disused appliances should
be addressed to your local authority.
