Safety recommendations
• Read these instructions carefully before
using your espresso machine.
• Do not plug the machine into anything other
than a grounded electrical socket. Verify that
the voltage indicated on the technical
specifications plate on the bottom of the
unit corresponds to your electrical
installation.
• Do not place your espresso machine on a
hot surface (an electrical heating plate for
example) or near a flame.
• Do not use the machine without the drip
tray and drip tray grid in place.
• Unplug the machine while cleaning.
• Ensure that the electrical cord does not
come into contact with sharp or hot objects.
Do not disconnect the electrical plug by
pulling on the cord.
• Avoid touching the electrical cord as well as
any other part which may become hot
during the use of the machine (steam
nozzle).
• Never plunge the machine in water.
• Keep the machine and the electrical cord out
of children’s reach.
• For descaling, adhere to the directions which
follow.
• Do not use the machine if it is damaged or if
the cord is in bad condition.
• The cord or any other defective element
must be replaced exclusively by an
authorized Krups service center. Under no
circumstances should you open the machine
yourself.
Espresso coffee
Your new Krups espresso machine has been
constructed to make cafe quality espresso,
cappuccino and latte at home. Espresso
coffee is richer in aroma and stronger than
normal coffee. It is drunk from small pre-
heated espresso cups. Hot water is passed
through the ground coffee to obtain this
delicious foamy, black coffee, which has an
invigorating effect.
You can recognize an espresso by its
characteristic aroma and its typical light brown
“crema” found on top of the coffee. But this
requires high pressure and an excellent
espresso coffee which has been well roasted
and correctly ground. If you cannot buy
ground espresso coffee, use a coffee grinder
to grind the beans. The coffee must not be
ground too fine. It must be slightly
granulated. If it is too fine, you risk blocking
the grid of the brewing head and the filter.
To guarantee complete success for your
espresso, you must also use freshly-drawn
water (so that it has not had time to stagnate
in the air), without any chlorine odor and at a
fairly cold temperature.
Before first using your machine
Before using your appliance for the first time,
clean the water heating system (without
coffee in the filter holder and filling the water
container once or twice) as follows:
