. The cappuccino accessory
For more thorough cleaning, the auto cappuccino accessory can be dismantled from the
machine.
Clean it with water, a little non-abrasive dish soap and a small brush. Rinse and dry it.
Before putting it back in place, make sure that the air inlet holes (on both sides of the
little metal tube) are not blocked by residues of milk. Unblock them with a needle if
necessary (22).
• Descaling of your espresso should be done fairly frequently with citric or tartaric acid.
• Use caution when descaling your espresso machine as the acid substance within the
descaling powder may damage countertops or any other surface it comes in contact
with.
• The limited warranty does not include espresso machines which do not
function, or do not function properly, because descaling has not been carried
out.
We recommend using the Krups descaling accessory, reference F054, which is availa-
ble from Krups after-sales service centers. This accessory includes, apart from two desca-
ling doses, a testing strip for water hardness to assess the frequency of descaling of your
appliance in normal use. Descaling depends on the hardness of the water, but also on the
use cycle. The frequently of descaling indicated by the F054 accessory is thus given by
way of indication only.
- Then follow the following method:
• Remove the Claris-Aqua Filter System cartridge if you have installed one.
• Unscrew the grid from the brewing head of the appliance and clean it (21).
• Dissolve a sachet of KRUPS descaling accessory, reference F054, in half a litre of luke
warm water and pour the whole lot into the empty water tank.
• Start the appliance by pressing button (N) (4). As soon as the appliance reaches the
right temperature, the orange temperature control light switches off.
