Preparing Coffee - Krups XP1500 Mode D'emploi

You can either choose to set automatic start
time immediately by repeating above -
operations, or choose to do the setting later by
pushing the clock mode button (C1) twice.
To activate the automatic coffee start at preset
time, simply activate the automatic mode
button (C2). To shut off appliance that started
in automatic mode, press the button (C2).
Coffee Strength
Your XP1530 KRUPS appliance is equipped
with Coffee strength mode button.
You can choose to brew an extra strong cup of
coffee by activating the strong coffee mode
(C3). A coffee cup icon is displayed on top left
of the display (10).
To come back to regular coffee just press again
the strong coffee mode button (C3).
This is normally used only with a small quantity
of water (max 4 cups).
Automatic stop
Your XP1530 KRUPS appliance is equipped
with automatic shut off.
2 hours after switching ON drip coffee
function, the appliance will switch OFF
automatically. In that case you need to turn
the selector knob (S) in OFF middle position
before making a new coffee cycle.
You can also turn the selector off as soon as
the coffee is ready.

Preparing Coffee

We recommend rinsing the coffee machine by
running one or two cycles with water only,
without ground coffee in the filter basket.
Be sure that the water chamber is empty.
Remove any literature, etc if found in the
water chamber.
The lid of the glass carafe must be properly
positioned during the brewing process.
To open the lid press the flap on top of
handle.
Make sure that the swivel filter is closed
properly during the brewing process. Push
in firmly until the handle touches the side
of the coffee maker and filter «clicks» into
place.
Caution : If the swivel filter is not
closed in properly the «Pause and
Serve» can not function. This may cause
hot water or hot coffee to overflow.
The «Pause and Serve» mechanism is
opened as long as the glass carafe is inserted
into the machine and sits properly on the
warming plate and the swivel filter is closed
properly. When brewing coffee make sure
the glass carafe is in place (see «Pause and
Serve» section).
Place your appliance near an electrical outlet
and release enough cord so that you can plug
in the machine (2).
Putting in the ground coffee
1.Swing out the filter holder (3) and insert a
paper filter in the filter basket. We
recommend using KRUPS size 4. When
inserting a paper filter make sure the seam is
pointing toward the base of the filter holder
(4).
Use your hands to conform the filter to the
contours of the filter basket. This will enable
you to achieve better results.
2.Put ground coffee into the filter basket (5).
We suggest using one level KRUPS
measuring spoon of ground coffee for each
cup of robust brewed coffee. You can adjust
the quantity to suit your own taste.
We do not recommend using coffee that is
ground to a powder-like consistency, as this
will prevent water from passing through the
filter.
3.Close the filter and make sure that it is
completely closed (6).
ATTENTION :
Make sure that the filter paper does not fold
over when closing the swivel filter, otherwise
the water might run between the filter paper
and the filter holder producing a very weak
cup of coffee.
Filling the Water Chamber
1.Open the hinged lid (7). Pour in the desired
quantity of water (8) and close the lid. The
amount of freshly brewed coffee delivered
after the brewing process will always be
slightly less than the amount put into the
water chamber. This is due to the minimal
absorption of the water by the ground
coffee. The water levels on drip carafe and
appliance do take this absorption in account
for more convenience.
