Before Use; Making Coffee - Krups FMD1 Manual De Instrucciones

Before use

• Run the coffee maker for the first time with
1 L of water, without coffee and without the
Duo Filter (j).
Your coffee maker may be fitted with a
Duo Filter (depending on model).
• The Duo Filter is a double-action anti-
chlorine and anti-scale filter.
The anti-chlorine action of the filter brings
out the most delicate aromas of the coffee.
Tap-water frequently contains a chlorine
level that impedes the development of the
coffee's aroma.
The anti-scale action allows for a longer
period between descaling operations.
The filter elements making up the Duo Filter
(non-polluting activated vegetable carbon
and anti-scale resin) comply with the food
laws in force. For the protection of the
consumer, it is treated with silver salts with a
bacteriostatic action. This filter has passed
tests by recognised laboratories.
The Duo Filter can be disposed of as
domestic waste.
• Remove the Duo Filter (j) from its plastic
covering. Rinse it under tap water for 1
minute.
• Lift the cover (a) of the water tank (b) and
lift out the filter holder (k).
• Rotate the lower part of the support and
insert the filter into its housing.
• Replace the filter holder in the coffee maker:
the coffee maker is ready for use.
Note: there is a rotary indicator on the upper
part of the filter holder. This indicates when
the Duo Filter should next be changed (l): turn
the indicator so that the number of the month
when the Duo Filter (j) should next be
changed is opposite the index mark.
Example: if you replace the Duo Filter (j) in
January (1) you should set the indicator to
March (3) or May (5), depending on the
hardness of your local water supply. Place the
number 3 or 5 opposite the index.
Important:
• the Duo Filter must only be used with
drinking water,
• the coffee maker still functions if there is no
filter,
10
• if the coffee maker has not been used for
more than one month, rinse the Duo Filter
under running water,
• it is recommended not to leave the Duo
Filter in place for more than 5 months.

Making coffee

• Follow the illustrations from 1 to 9.
• Use only cold water and a No. 4 filter paper.
• This coffee maker is fitted with a drip-stop
device, allowing you to serve coffee before
the water has finished running through.
Replace the coffee pot quickly to avoid any
overflow.
• Do not exceed the maximum capacity of the
water tank as shown by the water level
indicator (e).
Your coffee maker is equipped with a
permanent filter (depending on model):
Place the ground coffee directly in the
permanent filter. After use, throw away the
grounds and rinse the filter under running
water. Do not use a paper filter at the same
time as the permanent filter as this may lead
to overflowing.
Your coffee maker is equipped with a
flavour selector (h) (according to model):
This device enables you to obtain more
strongly flavoured coffee, especially for 1, 2 or
3 cups (9).
Your coffee maker is equipped with a
vacuum pot (according to model):
• To keep the coffee hotter for longer, rinse
the vacuum pot out with hot water before
use (c).
• The cover must be screwed tightly shut
(clockwise). The pot can be filled with coffee
and keeps it hot without further interven-
tion.
• To serve the coffee, press on the button
above the handle (10).
