twice with water (without coffee) to help
remove any factory sediment.
• Open the lid (1).
• Fill the water tank with cold water (2),
observing the water level indicator (3).
The water level indicator on your coffee carafe
corresponds to the water level indicator of the
water tank, measured in cups of water (3).
• Close the lid.
• Set the control to the 'on' position to begin
(position (i) for the #176, position (n) for the
#180). The light will come on.
Please note: your AromaControl coffee
maker is fitted with a Flavor Release filter
holder (exclusive to KRUPS).
Remember: After about 1 - 2 minutes of
brewing, the filter holder allows the water to
flow into the coffee carafe. This steeping
period allows for maximum flavor extraction
from your coffee.
Inserting the "DuoFilter"
• Remove the DuoFilter (e) from its plastic bag.
Rinse in tap water.
• Open the hinged lid of the coffee maker (1)
and remove the DuoFilter holder (e1) (4).
• Pivot the lower part of the holder and insert
the DuoFilter into its housing (5).
• Replace the holder in the coffee maker and
your machine is now ready for use (6).
Please note : A ring is on the top of the
holder to help you to remember when to
change the «DuoFilter» (e) :
. place the upper part of the ring on the figure
indicating which month you started using
the DuoFilter.
. the lower part of the ring will show you
when you have to change it.
Example : If the upper part is on 1 (January),
you will have to change it in 3 (March).
Preparing Coffee
Filling the water chamber
• Open the hinged lid (1). Using the glass
carafe, pour in the desired quantity of cold
water (2). The water level indicator shows
how much water you are filling into the
container (3).
The amount of freshly brewed coffee
delivered after the brewing process will always
be slightly less than the amount put into the
water container. This is due to the minimum
absorption of the water by the ground coffee.
Therefore, it is recommended that you add a
little extra water at the beginning so that you
will have the number of cups you desire.
• Replace the glass carafe on the warming
plate with the lid in position.
Putting in the ground coffee
• Swing out the filter holder container (7).
• Insert a no. 4 filter paper (1X4) or Gold Tone
Filter in the filter holder. We recommend
that you fold over the edges of the filter
paper (8) to make it easier to insert.
You can purchase KRUPS size 4 paper filters
(#983) or KRUPS Aroma Control Gold Tone
Filter (#049) at your local KRUPS retailer or by
calling the KRUPS Consumer Service
Department at 1-800-526-5377, 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week (US customers only).
• Pour your ground coffee into the filter paper
(9).
We suggest using one level KRUPS measuring
scoop of ground cofee for each cup of robust
coffee. After using your KRUPS coffee maker
several times, you can adjust the measure to
suit your own taste.
• Close the filter holder container, check that
it is correctly engaged (10) and place the
carafe with its cover on the warming plate.
• Turn the machine 'on'.
The indicator light will illuminate and your
coffee will begin brewing after 1-2 minutes.
"Stop 'n Serve" feature
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
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
