Automatic cleaning program of the coffee circuit
A message on the screen will indicate when a cleaning program needs to be run for the appliance.
To run this cleaning program, you will need a container which holds at least 0.6 l, and which should be placed beneath
the coffee outlets and the steam nozzle, and a KRUPS cleaning tablet. Fig. 34a. Carefully follow the instructions given
on the screen. It is also possible to run a cleaning cycle via the Maintenance menu.

Important: You do not have to run the cleaning program as soon as the appliance requests it, but it must be
done reasonably soon after. If cleaning is postponed, the alert message will remain illuminated until
the process is completed.
The automatic cleaning program comprises two phases: a cleaning cycle and a rinsing cycle, and lasts about 13

cleaning tablet may be necessary. Complete the full cleaning program in order to remove all of the
