Maintenance
-
Never wash your espresso machine
accessories in the dishwasher.
After use, the water tank must be emptied.

This must be emptied after using the
appliance after taking off the grid (22) (23). If
several espressos are being prepared one after
the other, the drip plate should be emptied
from time to time (about once every 7 - 8
espressos). The presence of water is normal
and does not signify a leak. If necessary, clean
the drip plate 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 (24).

which is available from Krups after-sales ser-
vice centres. This accessory includes, apart
from two descaling doses, a testing strip for

Clean all three parts with hot water. If need
be, unclog the opening of part A using a
fine needle.
Be careful with the little plastic nozzle (part
A) when you replace the cappuccino accessory.
Descaling
Descaling of your espresso should be done
fairly frequently with citric or tartaric acid.
The guarantee does not include
espresso machines which do not
function, or do not function properly,
because descaling has not been carried
out.
