These must be cleaned after every use. Simply
run a damp cloth over the percolation head
and clean the other accessories with water
and a small quantity of non-abrasive liquid
cleanser. Rinse and dry.
• If the percolation head becomes heavily
encrusted, unscrew its grid using a coin,
clean it and replace, tightening it firmly (10).

When you are not using your espresso, do not
leave the filter holder in the appliance in order
to prevent wear on the seal.

• Unscrew the nozzle from the appliance using
the ring (h3). Separate the various

the right way: engage the straight cut end
into the auto cappuccino accessory (l).
Following these maintenance guidelines will
keep your appliance in optimal working
condition and help you to produce great
tasting beverages time after time.
Descaling
It is vital that you descale your espresso
machine in order to guarantee its continued
operation.
• Descale your espresso at regular intervals
using citric or tartaric acid.
We do, however, advise you to use the Krups
descaling accessory, reference 054, which
is available from approved Krups service
centres. This accessory includes, in addition to
two doses of descaler, a water hardness test
strip to evaluate the frequency of descaling
for your appliance in normal use. The amount
of scaling depends on the hardness of the
water, but also on how often it is used. The
frequency of descaling indicated by accessory
054 is thus given by way of indication only.
You must never, under any circumstances, use
classic sulphuric acid or other products
containing this acid as there is a risk of
damaging the appliance. Carefully check the
composition of the descaling products you
intend to use.
