Descaling - Krups XP4600 User Manual

English
n Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners, or alcohol/solvent-based
cleaners to clean the brewing head or filter holder.
n When cleaning the filter holder, hold under running water and press
the « PUSH » button several times to remove all remaining espresso
grinds.
n Rinse well and dry carefully.
n When not using the espresso machine, do not store the filter holder
in the locked position. This will avoid unnecessary wear to the seal.
For more thorough cleaning, disassemble the filter holder:
n Remove the black plastic part with the coffee outlets and « PUSH »
button by turning it to the left and pulling (fig.23).
n Rinse the various components under running water. If necessary, use
gentle dishwashing liquid.
n Rinse and dry all components well before re-assembling.
n Replace the black plastic part in the metal part, turning in the
opposite direction to that shown in (fig.23)
n If the brewing head is heavily clogged, unscrew the grid using a
screwdriver, rinse well, dry, and then replace in the machine (fig.24).

n To clean the steam wand, unclip the frothing nozzle by sliding the
black sleeve down and gently pulling the wand downwards (fig.17).

the inner tube, outer tube, and stainless steel shield.
n To remove the inner tube, unscrew the end of the nozzle, then remove
the stainless steel shield.
n Clean all three components under warm running water and use a
small amount of gentle dishwashing liquid if necessary (fig.18).
Rinse well and dry completely before re-assembling.
n Ensure that the black plastic ring is pointing downwards, then
replace the frothing nozzle on the steam wand by pushing gently
upwards until it clicks into place (fig.19).

9. DESCALING

The warranty does not cover machines which have become faulty be-
cause descaling was not periodically performed.
Descale your espresso machine regularly using Krups descaling kits
(model F054), available in Krups authorized service centers (go to
Krupsonlinestore.ca for Canadian residents only).
