- N ever wash your espresso machine
accessories in the dishwasher.
After use, the water container must be
emptied.
. Drip tray
This must be emptied after using the ap-
pliance by taking off the grid (18). If several
espressos are being prepared one after the
other, the drip tray should be emptied from
time to time (about once every  - 8 espres-
sos). The presence of water is normal and
does not signify a leak. If necessary, clean
the drip tray and its grid with water and a
little non-abrasive washing-up liquid, rinse
and dry. When reassembling the machine,
ensure that the plastic lining is in the right
place (19).
. The brewing head, the fi lter basket and
the fi lter holder
These must be cleaned after each use. All
you need to do is wipe a damp cloth over
the brewing head of your appliance and to
wash the other accessories in water and a
little non-abrasive dishwashing liquid, rinse
and dry.

Descaling Descaling
Descalling is necessary to keep your
espresso machine running effi ciently.
As a result descaling of your espresso
•
machine should be done fairly frequently
with citric or tartaric acid.
Use caution when descaling your espres-
•
so machine as the acid substance within
the descaling poweder may damage
countertops or any other surface it comes
in contact with.
However, we would advise you to use the
reference solution as N° F054 that is avail-
able from Krups. Descaling depends on
the hardness of the water, but also on the
frequency of use.
To descale, follow the following method:
Unscrew the grid from the brewing head of
•
the appliance and clean it (20).
Dissolve a packet of KRUPS descaling
•
solution in 1 oz/510 ml of lukewarm water
and pour the whole batch into the empty
water container.
Place a container under the brewing head.
•
Run through about 1/3 of the liquid imme-
diately, setting the selector to the position
(9).
Stop the appliance, leaving the position
•
(9) engaged and wait for 10 - 15 minutes
to allow the descaler to take effect.
Next, start the machine again and allow
•
the rest of the liquid to run through.
