The frothing aid can be dismantled in order to
clean it thoroughly.
■ Pull the two parts A and C from the metal tube
B (27).
Rinse all 3 parts in warm water. If the small
suction opening in part A has become blocked,
you can poke it clear it with the aid of a needle.
The cleaning programme
You must carry out the cleaning programme after 250 preparations of
espresso or coffee, or after 180 rinsing operations. Provided the appliance is
switched on, this requirement will be announced by the glowing of the
“clean appliance” indicator.
Note: You may continue to use the appliance, however, but should carry
out the cleaning programme as soon as conveniently possible.
Carrying out the cleaning programme
The “ON/OFF“ indicator will glow during the cleaning programme.
The “clean appliance” indicator will blink whilst the appliance is working and
will glow when the cleaning operation is stopped.
The mains plug must be inserted, but the appliance must be switched off and
the selector knob for steam/hot water must be at the position.
■ Start the cleaning programme by pressing
the key for about 3 seconds (28).
The “ON/OFF”, “empty spent coffee holder”
and “clean appliance” indicators will glow, as
will also the “fill water tank” indicator if there is
insufficient water in the tank.
■ Empty the drawer and the spent coffee holder
and then replace them in the appliance.
If necessary, fill the water tank with water. The
cleaning programme requires about 1.25 litres
of water and the tank must therefore be a good
2/3 full.
■ Replace the water tank in the appliance,
whereby the “ON/OFF” and “clean
appliance” indicators will glow and the
“coffee-meal” indicator will blink.
■ Open the lid of the coffee feed funnel and
drop a KRUPS cleaning tablet into the funnel.
The lid must remain open during the whole of
the cleaning programme (29).
