No steam comes out.
a.
During the first use of a steam cycle, if no steam comes out correctly:
Check that the hole in the tip is not clogged. See section above: “The steam nozzle of your machine appears to
be partially or completely clogged”.
Carry out the following protocol
once and only once
:
Empty the water tank and temporarily remove the Claris Aqua Filter System cartridge. Fill the tank with mineral
water high in calcium ( > 100 mg/L) and make successive steam cycles (5 to 10 cycles) in a container until a
continuous jet of steam is obtained. Put the cartridge back in the tank.
b.
The steam nozzle had already worked:
Check that the hole in the tip is not clogged. See section above: “The steam nozzle of your machine appears to be
partially or completely clogged”.
If after performing the above steps, the steam Nozzle still doesn’t work, please contact KRUPS Consumer Service.
3.
Steam escapes from the grid of the drip tray.
Depending on the type of preparation, steam may escape from the grid of the drip tray.
4.
Steam appears under the bean container lid.
Check that the cleaning tablet funnel under the cover (L) is closed.
MAINTENANCE
1.
The machine does not request descaling.
The descaling cycle is requested following preparation of a large number of milky or hot water-based drinks. If you
only make coffee, descaling will not be required frequently.
2.
Some grounds are in the drip tray.
A small amount of ground coffee can get into the drip tray. The machine is designed to clear any excess ground
coffee so that the percolation area remains clean.
3.
The Intuitive Light Indicator remains lit after you have emptied the coffee grounds collector.
Refitting the coffee grounds collector.
4.
After filling the water container, the Intuitive Light Indicator stays on.
Check the container is positioned correctly in the appliance.
The floats at the bottom of the tank must move freely. Check and dislodge the floats if necessary.
DRINKS
1.
The coffee flows too slowly.
Turn the grinding fineness button to the right for a coarser grind (depending on the type of coffee used).
Perform one or several rinse cycles.
Change the Claris Aqua Filter System cartridge.
2.
The coffee is too light or not full-bodied enough.
Check that the bean container contains coffee and that it is moving down correctly.
Avoid using oily, caramelised or flavoured coffees that may not be drawn into the machine correctly.
Decrease the preparation volume and increase the strength using the coffee strength function. Turn the grinding
fineness button to the left for a finer grind. Make your drink in two cycles using the two-cup function.
3.
The Espresso or coffee is not hot enough.
Increase the coffee temperature in the machine settings. Heat the cup by rinsing it in hot water before preparing
the drink.
Perform a coffee system rinse before starting your coffee. A coffee rinse on start function can be activated in
settings/auto-rinse.
4.
Clean water flows through the coffee nozzles before each coffee.
At the start of the recipe, there is a pre-infusion of coffee which can cause a small amount of water to flow from
the coffee nozzles.
If one of the problems outlined in the table persists, contact KRUPS Consumer Service.
