Krups 872 Espresso Maker User Manual


 
ATTENTION:
W
The top closure of the “Perfect Froth”
attachment (see figure 15 Part A) has a
very fine hole which draws air into the milk.
If this tiny hole gets clogged, “Perfect Froth’
will not work properly. So never immerse
the top closure in milk or foam.

Before cleaning, turn OFF the machine,
unplug it, and allow to cool down.
The filter basket, carafe, carafe lid and the
overflow grid can be put in the dishwasher’s
upper rack away from the heating/drying
element.
Do not put the filter holder and the cup
adapter in the dishwasher. Wash with soap
and water under the faucet.
Never immerse the body of your “Espresso
Bravo Plus” in water or any other liquid.
Clean the filter ring with a damp cloth and
remove ground coffee. If there is water left
in the boiler container, let the machine cool
down, remove all loose parts and empty
through the top opening.
Cleaning the steam nozzle
Clean the steam nozzle each time after you
have immersed it in the milk, otherwise the
inside of the nozzle becomes clogged and
milk deposits on the outside harden and
become difficult to remove.
Wipe off the outside with a wet cloth.
n
For a thorough cleaning, unscrew the
nozzle (see figure 16) and remove all milk
particles (use a needle and rinse under
faucet), replace nozzle, and be sure to
screw on tightly.
Cleaning the “Perfect Froth” attachment
n
For a thorough cleaning of the “Perfect
Froth’ attachment remove part C
(see figure
15).
All parts should be rinsed in warm water.
If the small suction opening in part A is
clogged it can be opened with a fine needle.
Cleaning the brewing sieve
W
If the brewing sieve becomes very dirty,
screw it out of the brewing head with the
aid of a coin and then clean it. Wipe down
the brewing head with a moist cloth and
then screw the sieve with the seal firmly
back into position (see figure
17).
A
CAUTION:
Do not try to open or disassemble the main
body of the machine.
The espresso machine must be decalcified
regularly. The frequency depends on the
hardness of your water and how often you
use the espresso machine.
Before descaling, the brewing sieve on the
brewing head MUST first be screwed off.
1. Remove all lime and coffee residues from
the brewing sieve and the brewing head.
2. Pull off the “Perfect Froth” attachment.
For ecological and health reasons, we
recommend the exclusive use of biological
materials such as citric acid, which can be
obtained from Krups Consumer Service
Department or drugstores.
