MAKING AN ESPRESSO AND A COFFEE
Steam is used to froth the milk, for example when preparing a cappuccino or caffe latte, and also to heat up
liquids. As a higher temperature is required when producing steam than when making an espresso, the ap-
pliance will launch an additional pre-heating phase.
Frothing milk
■ For best results, you are advised to use very fresh, very cold pasteurised or UHT milk, recently opened.
Unpasteurised milk does not produce the best results.
■ Check that the steam nozzle is correctly positioned.
■ Pour the milk into a milk jug which has a handle or into a cappuccino cup. Only fill it half way.
MAKING DRINKS USING STEAM
Preparing the grinder
You can adjust the strength of your coffee by adjusting how finely the coffee beans are ground.
Generally, the finer the coffee is ground, the stronger and creamier the coffee will be, but this also depends
on the type of coffee used.
Adjust the fineness of grinding by turning the coffee grounds fineness adjustment knob which is located
in the coffee bean container. It is advised that you do this during grinding, one notch at a time.
After 3 rounds, you will notice a pronounced difference in taste. To the left, the grounds are finer. To the right,
the grounds are courser. (7)
Claris F 088 - Aqua Filter System cartridge (Sold separately)
To optimise the taste of your drinks and the lifespan of your appliance, you are advised to only use a Claris -
Aqua Filter System cartridge with your machine (see the chapter OTHER FUNCTIONS – Installing the filter).
Every time you place a Claris-Aqua Filter into the machine you must prime the filter before using the machine
by activating the "install filter cartridge" program.
Note :
The amount of water for making an espresso is between 30 and 70 ml.
The amount of water for making a coffee is between 80 and 180 ml.

A screen indicates that the appliance is heating up. Once the appliance has finished heating up, you can begin
to make steam by pressing START , and following these steps (13):
Step 1: holding the milk jug in place, insert the steam nozzle approximately 2 cm into the milk and
wait for it to start frothing.
Step 2: raise the container slightly (approximately 1 cm). Do not completely submerge the metal
tube.
Step 3: gradually lower the container as the froth accumulates. (14)
■ When you have frothed the milk enough, press the STOP button to stop the cycle. Warning: the cycle
does not stop immediately.
■ To remove any milk traces from the steam nozzle, place a container under the nozzle and start the steam
function again (approximately 10 seconds).
■ The steam nozzle is removable in order to allow for deep cleaning. Wash it with water and a little non-
abrasive detergent using a brush. Rinse and dry (15-16). Before replacing, make sure that the air holes are
not clogged with milk residue. Unclog the holes with the needle supplied with your appliance if necessary
(17).
■ To stop the steam, press the STOP button .
WARNING: THE CYCLE DOES NOT STOP IMMEDIATELY.
Steam can be produced for a maximum of 2 minutes per cycle.
Auto-cappuccino XS 6000 set (sold separately)
■ This auto-cappuccino accessory enables you to make cappuccinos or lattes (18). Connect the different
parts to each other. Ensure that the pipe is not pierced by keeping the knob in the correct place.
■ After removing the lid, fill the jug with milk (19) and place a cup or glass under the auto-cappuccino nozzle
(20). Select cappuccino or latte on the special nozzle (21).
■ Start steam, as indicated in the chapter Making drinks with steam.
■ Once you have made the milk froth, place your cup under the coffee jets and start a coffee cycle (22).
To prevent the milk from drying on the auto-cappuccino accessory, ensure that you clean it thoroughly. You
are advised to wash it immediately by running a steam cycle with the accessory jug filled with water in order
to clean the inside of the nozzle. For this you can use the KRUPS liquid detergent available separately.

■ If the symbol starts flashing, empty and clean the drip tray and the coffee grounds collector. Do the
same for the coffee drawer (23-24-25).
■ The drip tray is fitted with floats which indicate when it needs to be emptied (26). Once you have removed
the coffee grounds collector, you should empty it completely in order to avoid any overflow.
■ The warning message will continue to be displayed if the coffee grounds collector is not pushed in or
inserted correctly. You cannot make an espresso or a coffee while the warning message is shown.
