Maintaining Your Appliance - Krups EA815 Mode D'emploi

Adjust the size of the ground coffee by turning the 'Coffee grind setting' knob (H) in the bean hopper. We
recommend that you change the grind setting during the grinding process gradually to reach the optimum
size for your drink. After three preparations, you will notice a very distinctive difference in taste.
The grind setting is useful when you change coffee type or if you would like a stronger or weaker coffee. It is
not recommended that you perform this setting systematically.

MAKING DRINKS USING STEAM
Steam is used to froth the milk, for example when preparing a cappuccino or caffe latte, and also to heat up
liquids. As a higher temperature is required when producing steam than when making an espresso, the ap-
pliance will launch an additional pre-heating phase.
Frothing milk
For best results, you are advised to use very fresh, cold (39°F) pasteurized or UHT milk, recently opened.
Unpasteurised milk does not produce the best results.
Check that the steam nozzle is correctly positioned.

A screen indicates that the appliance is heating up. Once the appliance has finished heating up, you can begin
to make steam by pressing START , and following these steps fig.13 :
Step 1: holding the milk jug in place, insert the steam nozzle approximately 0.78 inches into the milk
and wait for it to start frothing.
Step 2: raise the container slightly (approximately 0.39 inches). Do not completely submerge the
metal tube.
Step 3: gradually lower the container as the froth accumulates fig.14.
When you have frothed the milk enough, press the STOP button
does not stop immediately.
To remove any milk traces from the steam nozzle, place a container under the nozzle and start the steam
function again (approximately 10 seconds).
The steam nozzle is removable in order to allow for deep cleaning. Wash it with water and a little non-
abrasive detergent using a brush. Rinse and dry fig.15-16. Before replacing, make sure that the air holes
are not clogged with milk residue. Unclog the holes with the needle supplied with your appliance if
necessary fig.17.
WARNING: THE CYCLE DOES NOT STOP IMMEDIATELY.
Steam can be produced for a maximum of 2 minutes per cycle.

are advised to wash it immediately by running a steam cycle with the accessory jug filled with water in order
to clean the inside of the nozzle. For this you can use the KRUPS liquid detergent available separately.
