IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons,
including the following:
Read
instructions and information in this
instruction book and any other literature included
in this carton referring to this product before
operating or using this appliance.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
To protect against electric shock, do not immerse
cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.
l
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance
is used by or near children.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before
cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking
off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord
or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has
been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to
an authorized service facility for examination,
repair or adjustment.
Check that your appliances’ voltage matches your
electrical supply.
Always lift the glass carafe by the handle only,
never by the anti-drip ring.
The glass carafe is not suitable for use in
microwave ovens, above open fire or gas flame, or
on electric burners.
Do not refill the appliance while it is still hot; allow
appliance to cool down for at least ten minutes
between uses.
Do not pour hot water or other liquids into the
water reservoir.
Do not allow the cord to touch any hot part of the
appliance.
l
The use of an accessory not evaluated for use with
this appliance may cause injuries.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter,
or touch hot surfaces.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner,
or in a heated oven.
l
l
To disconnect, turn switch to “OFF”, then remove
plug from wall outlet.
Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
Snap lid securely onto glass carafe before serving
beverages.
Appliance with glass carafe:
A. The carafe is designed for use with these
appliances. It must never be used on a range
top.
B. Do not set a hot carafe on a wet or cold
surface.
C. Do not use a cracked carafe or a carafe having
a loose or weakened handle.
D. Do not clean carafe with cleansers, steel wool
pads, or other abrasive material.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
This appliance is for household use only. Any servicing
other than cleaning and user maintenance should be
performed by the nearest authorized KRUPS Service
Center (see Guarantee of Performance).
Do not immerse base in water.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove
the base. No user
parts inside. Repair should
be done by an authorized KRUPS Service Center only.
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
Regarding your cord set:
A. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce
risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
B. Longer extension cords are available and may be
used if care is exercised in their use.
C. If a long extension cord is used,
the marked
electrical rating of the extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
if the appliance is of the grounded type, the
extension cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the counter top or table top where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over.
D. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug
will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fully fit in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

Before you start
We suggest using one level KRUPS
measuring scoop of ground coffee for
each cup of robust coffee. After using
your KRUPS coffeemaker several
times, you can adjust the measure to
suit your own taste.
Before making your first pot of
delicious coffee, we recommend
operating the coffeemaker once or
twice with water only, without ground
coffee or a filter, to remove any
possible dust.

that it is completely closed (figure 7).
so effectively that there is virtually no
coffee-drip onto the warming plate
(one drop, at most). Once the carafe is
replaced, the brewing cycle and the
flow of coffee into the carafe are
resumed.
Set the carafe lid on the carafe, and
replace the carafe on the warming
plate.
n
Press the ON/OFF switch (figure
A red indicator light will illuminate and
brewing will commence.
CAUTION:
If coffee does drip onto the warming
plate after removal of the carafe, it is
usually an indication that too much
ground coffee has been placed into the
paper filter. This causes the water that
jets into the filter cone to overflow
between the paper filter and the sides
of the filter cone. The overflow carries
coffee grounds that interfere with the
snap-shut action of the filter holder,
thus allowing brewed coffee to
continue to drip through.
CAUTION: Never open the filter holder
during the brewing process.

This model features a full flavor
selector button. If you want to make
l-3 cups of coffee, press the flavor
selector button (figure 9).
A yellow indicator light will illuminate.
This will extend the brewing cycle so
that the water will seep into the ground
coffee slowly enough to yield brewed
coffee that is rich, aromatic and truly
delicious.
If this blockage and subsequent
dripping do occur, replace the glass
carafe immediately and allow the full
brewing cycle to run its course. Do not
remove the filter until the brewing
cycle is completed.
The flavor selector button is
automatically switched off when the
appliance shuts off.
Remove the glass carafe when the
brewing process is completed and
serve.
The KRUPS “Premium” is equipped
with an automatic shut-off feature, that
will turn off the machine 2 hours after
the brewing process has begun (the
red indicator light will turn off).

Replace the carafe on the warming
plate to keep it hot (figure
The appliance can be switched off
manually at any time, however, by
using the ON/OFF switch.
The “Stop’n Serve” feature is KRUPS
answer to the impatient coffee
drinker’s clamor for “a quick cup of
coffee!“ This device automatically
stops the flow of brewed coffee
The power cord can be tailored to
the length required by utilising the
hidden cord storage located behind
the coffeemaker (figure
through the filter cone if the glass
carafe is removed from the warming
plate during the brewing cycle. You
have about 20 seconds between the
removal of the carafe and its being
reinserted to allow the service of one
or two cups of coffee. The “Stop’n
Serve” device closes off the filter cone
water. It will also depend upon how
often you use your coffeemaker.
Helpful Hints

Always use fresh, cold water (warm
water might be stale and have
mineral deposits which would impair
the flavor of the coffee).
Indications that decalcifying is
necessary are:

We recommend that you grind your
own beans. Freshly ground beans
deliver more aroma and flavor.
Use one KRUPS measuring scoop of
beans per cup.

To decalcify, dissolve 1 packet of
KRUPS decalcifying agent in 2 cups of
cold water. Pour the solution into the
water container, then put the empty
carafe in place and brew for one full
cycle (do not use coffee during this
process). Repeat. Allow the solution to
cool down for about ten minutes
each cycle, turning appliance
