Maintenance
Never wash your espresso machine
-
accessories in the dishwasher.
After use, the water tank must be emptied.
. Drip tray
This must be emptied after using the
appliance after taking off the grid (19). If
several espressos are being prepared one after
the other, the drip tray should be emptied
from time to time (about once every 7 - 8
espressos). The presence of water is normal
and does not signify a leak. If necessary, clean
the drip tray and its grid with water and a
little non-abrasive washing-up liquid, rinse
and dry. When reassembling the machine,
ensure that the plastic lining is in the right
place (20).
. The brewing head, the filter and the
filter holder
These must be cleaned after each use. All you
need to do is wipe a damp cloth over the
brewing head of your appliance and to wash
the other accessories in water and a little non-
abrasive washing-up liquid, rinse and dry.
If the brewing head is heavily clogged up,
unscrew the grid using a coin, clean it and
refit it, pressing down firmly (21).
When your espresso is not being used, do not
leave the filter holder on the appliance to
prevent wear on the gasket.
. The cup warming plate: remove this to
clean it with water and a little non-abrasive
washing-up liquid, rinse and dry.
. The cappuccino accessory
For more thorough cleaning the cappuccino
accessory can be dismantled from the
appliance.

Descaling
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 poweder may damage countertops
or any other surface it comes in conatct
with.
The guarantee does not include
•
espresso machines which do not
function, or do not function properly,
because descaling has not been carried
out.
However, we would advise you to use the
Krups descaling accessory, reference F054,
which is available from Krups after-sales
service centres. This accessory includes, apart
from two descaling 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:
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
lukewarm water and pour the whole lot into
the empty water tank.
Place a container under the brewing head.
•
Run through about 1/3 of the liquid
immediately, setting the selector to the
position (9).
Stop the appliance, leaving the
•
(9) engaged and wait for 10 - 15 minutes to
allow the descaler to take effect.
Next, start the machine again and allow the
•
rest of the liquid to run through.
Then rinse with two water tanks of fresh
•
water, clean the brewing head and replace the
grid on the head of the appliance (see
paragraph on maintenance).
