n To prolong the life of your appliance, we recommend you always use a Claris Aqua Filter System
cartridge (reference: F088 which can be ordered via our web site www.krups.co.uk) and that you
descale the appliance at regular intervals.
IMPORTANT!
Before using for the first time, after a prolonged period of inactivity or after desca-
ling, the appliance must be cleaned as described in paragraph 1: "USING".
1.USING
Before using your espresso machine, clean all the accessories in soapy water and dry them.
If you do not use the Claris cartridge, refer directly to the section "RINSE YOUR APPLIANCE".

If you use a Claris cartridge, please apply the following procedure to fill it with water.
n Screw the Claris filter into the bottom of the water tank.

n Turn the switch to the "steam preheating" position. Once the light stops blinking, turn back the switch
to the "off" position. Repeat this operation 4 more times.
To make sure the Claris cartridge is full of water, place a container under the percolation head, turn the
switch to the "coffee" position and make sure some water is running through. If not, repeat the above
procedure.
n In this manner you can be sure that water is circulating well through the filter cartridge.
IMPORTANT:
This installation procedure must be carried out every time the cartridge is
replaced.
The Claris cartridge needs to be replaced every 2 to 3 months if it is used daily.
