Rinse and dry.
When not using your espresso coffee maker, do not leave the filter holder on it, in order to prevent
wear to the joint.
For more thorough cleaning, the filter holder can be dismantled:
You can remove the black plastic part where the coffee outlets and the "EJECT" button are to be
found: turn it to the left and pull sharply (fig. 22).
Clean the various components under running water and a little gentle washing-up liquid.
Rinse and dry.
Replace the black plastic part in the metal component, turn it to the right until the two arrows on each
component line up.
If the percolation head is very clogged, unscrew the grid using a Phillips screwdriver, clean it and
reassemble it, screwing tightly (fig.23).
OF THE CAPPUCCINO ACCESSORY
To clean it, unclip it from its articulated arm by pulling the black ring downwards (fig.16).
This accessory is composed of 3 parts: the inner tube, the outer tube and a stainless steel protection.
To clean this accessory, take it apart completely.
To remove the inner tube, unscrew the end of the steam nozzle.
You can then remove the stainless steel protection.
Clean the 3 components under running water and a little gentle washing-up liquid (fig. 17).Rinse and
dry.
Once the steam nozzle has been cleaned and reassembled, taking care to tighten it properly, replace
it on its articulated arm, ensuring that the mobile black plastic ring is held downwards.
Then make a circular movement upwards in order to click with the steam nozzle. Then clip the black
plastic part by moving it upwards (fig.18).
The guarantee does not cover appliances which become faulty because the descaling operations have
not been carried out regularly.
Descale your espresso maker regularly with white vinegar or a packet of citric or sulphamic acid which
you can buy in hardware stores.
We recommend that you use the Krups descaling accessory, reference F054, available in Krups
authorised service centres. In addition to two descaling doses, this accessory includes a water hard-
ness tape tester to assess the required frequency with which your appliance should be descaled, in nor-
mal use. The amount of scale depends on the hardness of the water but also the level of use.
The frequency of descaling given by the F054 accessory is therefore purely indicative. If in doubt, it is
recommended to descale every month.
