n For best results, you can activate the "EJECT" button several times during rinsing.
We recommend that you shake the filter holder thoroughly in order to remove all the water.
n Rinse and dry.
n When not using your espresso coffee maker, do not leave the filter holder on it, in order to prevent
wear to the joint.
For more thorough cleaning, the filter holder can be dismantled:
n You can remove the black plastic part where the coffee outlets and the "EJECT" button are to be
found: turn it to the left and pull sharply (fig. 22).
n Clean the various components under running water and a little gentle washing-up liquid.
n Rinse and dry.
n Replace the black plastic part in the metal component, turn it to the right until the two arrows on each
component line up.
n If the percolation head is very clogged, unscrew the grid using a Phillips screwdriver, clean it and
reassemble it, screwing tightly (fig.23).
OF THE STEAM NOZZLE
n This accessory consists of 2 parts: one part which is the plastic support and the other which is the
metal protection cylinder.
n Before cleaning, unlock the nozzle from the articulated arm by turning it to the left (fig.16, 16.2).
n Then slide the metal cylinder along the plastic support (fig.16.3).
n Clean these two parts with tap water and some mild washing-up liquid (fig.17).
n Rinse and dry.
n Once the parts have been properly cleaned, put the metal cylinder back on the support.
n Make sure that you don't damage the silicone seal which makes the nozzle watertight (fig.16.3).
n Insert the nozzle on the articulated arm then lock to the right (fig.18.1, 18.2).
5.DESCALING
The guarantee does not cover appliances which become faulty because the descaling operations have
not been carried out regularly.
Descale your espresso maker regularly with white vinegar or a packet of citric or sulphamic acid which
you can buy in hardware stores.
We recommend that you use the Krups descaling accessory, reference F054, available in Krups
authorised service centres. In addition to two descaling doses, this accessory includes a water hardness
tape tester to assess the required frequency with which your appliance should be descaled, in normal
use. The amount of scale depends on the hardness of the water but also the level of use.
The frequency of descaling given by the F054 accessory is therefore purely indicative. If in doubt, it is
recommended to descale every month.
