Instead of filter paper you can also use the Krups goldtone filter (model #053). (When ordering filter paper or the goldtone filter from Krups be sure to indicate that they are for model #464. ) Put ground coffee into the paper filter (see figure 6). We suggest using one level Krups measuring spoon of ground coffee for each cup of robust brewed coffee. After using your Krups coffee maker several times you can adjust the measure to suit your own taste. Close the swivel filter and make sure that is completely closed (see figure 7). You will feel a noticeable resistance between the swivel filter and the base. Push in firmly until you hear the filter "click" into place. Filling the Water Chamber Open the hinged lid (see figure 1). The water level indicator shows you how much water you are filling into the container (see figure 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 minimal absorption of the water by the ground coffee. Therefore, put in a little more water to begin with so that you will have the number of cups you desire. Replace the carafe on the warming plate with the glass carafe lid in position. Attention!Make sure that the filter paper does not tip over when closing the swivel filter, or else the water might run between the filter paper and the filter holder producing a very weak cup of coffee. Plug in the coffeemaker and turn the on/off switch to the "on" position (right switch for right side, left switch for left side) (see figure 8). Replace glass carafe on the warming plate with the lid securely in position (see figure 9). Putting in the Ground Coffee To open the swing away filter holder, move the filter handle to the left to swing the filter out (see figure 4). Insert a paper filter (we recommend Krups size 4) with the seam pointing towards the handle of the filter holder (see figure 5). 9 Selecting the fullest flavor The Krups "Duothek" has a full flavor selector switch, if you want to make 1-3 cups of coffee, turn this switch to the appropriate position (see figure 10).

This extended time indicates that there are calcium deposits in your coffee maker. We recommend using a decalcifying agent for cleaning your KRUPS coffee maker. [. . . ]
