The percolation head, the filter holder and the

filters must be cleaned after each use :

• First, allow the appliance to cool down, then

wipe the percolation head with a damp

cloth. Each detachable element can be

rinsed under running water.

• Do not clean the filter holder or the cup rest

grid in the dishwasher.

• If the percolation head is very dirty, unscrew

the percolation head using a coin : the valve

spring and sealing gasket will also come off.

• Clean the grid and wipe the percolation

head with a damp cloth.

• Replace the grid and screw it firmly in place.

• Make sure the valve spring and the sealing

gasket are correctly positioned (21).

Important : After making frothy milk, clean

the steam nozzle immediately by allowing the

appliance to produce steam for 1 to 2

seconds. Then wipe the tip with a damp

cloth. If the pipe and the tip have been

completely obstructed, clean these using a

needle.

If necessary, this part of the nozzle can be

unscrewed using the hexagonal key found on

the measuring spoon and by unscrewing it in

an anticlockwise direction. Clean this part

thoroughly (22).

The nozzle must be screwed back on in a

clockwise direction after cleaning.

Use the key carefully when screwing it back

on, and do not over-tighten.

Warning : Do not remove or assemble the

steam nozzle when it is hot.

The cappuccino accessory can be given a

thorough cleaning as follows:

• Remove the two parts, A and C, of the

metal stem, B (23).

• Wash both parts in hot water.

• If the tiny aspiration hole of part A is

blocked, unblock it using a fine needle.

If the appliance is not to be used for a long

period, do not leave the filter holder in the

percolation head, as this will cause

unnecessary wear on the gasket and shorten

its lifetime.

Descaling

• You should descale your espresso maker

more or less frequently, with citric or tartaric

acid.

We do, however, recommend that you use the

Krups descaling accessory, reference 054,

available from all approved Krups service

centres. This accessory also includes, apart

from two descaling doses, a strip tester for

water hardness to assess how often you need

to descale your appliance in normal use.

Descaling depends on the hardness of the

water, but also on the cycle of use. The

frequency of descaling indicated by accesaory

054 is thus given only by way of indication.

• Then use the following method :

• Before descaling, unscrew the percolation

grid from the percolation head.

• Clean the percolation grid and the

percolation head of any tartar and coffee

ground residues.

• Replace the valve spring and the gasket on

the percolation head and screw down firmly.

• Remove the cappuccino accessory from the

steam nozzle.

• Dissolve two dessertspoons of descaling

product or one sachet from accessory 054 in

half a litre of warm water and pour this into

the empty water tank.

• Place one container under the percolation

head and another under the steam nozzle.

• Switch on the appliance and set the pump

switch to « » position.

• Allow about half of the descaling solution to

run through, then reset the pump switch to

position.

• Turn the steam tap to max position.

• When the steam appears, turn the tap back

to O position.

• Leave the remainder of the descaling

solution to work on the interior of the

machine for 10 to 15 minutes.

• Place a container under the percolation

head and reset the pump switch to « »

position.
