[. . . ] q 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 your nearest authorized KRUPS Service Center for examination, repair or adjustment (see GUARANTEE OF PERFORMANCE). q The use of an accessory not evaluated for use with this appliance may cause injuries. q Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces. [. . . ] Fill the boiler container with cold water using the markings indicated on the glass carafe (see figure 7). CAUTION Never fill the boiler while your "Il Caffè Duomo" is switched on. The glass carafe has markings for 2 and 4 cups: 2 cups of water = 2 cups of espresso 3 cups of water = 2 cups of espresso, plus steam for frothing milk for cappuccino 4 cups of water = 4 cups of espresso. Maximum capacity to the bottom of the metal band around the glass carafe = 4 cups of espresso, plus steam for frothing milk for cappuccino. NOTE It is very important to fill only the amount of water you need into the boiler. Your "Il Caffè Duomo" will always need to process all the water until the boiler is empty. 7. Place carafe lid on carafe so that the lid opening points towards the pouring spout of the carafe (see figure 9). Should you choose to make espresso directly into two cups, clip the two cup adapter onto the filter holder and make sure that the cups are placed correctly underneath the spouts (see figure 11 + 12). 10. Turn the espresso "on/off" switch (h) "on" (see figure 13). The water will then be forced through the ground coffee into the glass carafe or cups. Wait until brewing cycle is completed and all water and steam has been used (See CAUTION - PRESSURE). It will take approximately 30 to 60 seconds after turning the machine on for the steam to come out of the steam nozzle. Proceed with steps 4. a) and 4. b) in the section "Making Cappuccino". When all steam is released, close the steam release knob and turn off the machine. The frequency depends on the hardness of your water and how often you use the espresso machine. Before descaling, the brewing sieve on the brewing head must first be screwed off. Remove all lime and coffee residues from the brewing sieve and the brewing head. For ecological and health reasons, we recommend the exclusive use of biological materials such as citric acid, which can be obtained from KRUPS Consumer Service Department or drugstores. Dissolve 2 tablespoonfuls of citric acid in 10 fluid ounces of lukewarm water and pour it into the boiler container. Put one receptacle under the brewing head and another under the steam nozzle. Allow the descaling solution to run out of the espresso outlet and the steam nozzle. After each brewing cycle, switch off the appliance and allow the appliance to cool down. 12 6. [. . . ] Once the carafe is replaced, the brewing process and the flow of coffee into the carafe will resume. CAUTION Should significant amounts of coffee drip onto the warming plate after the removal of the carafe, it is usually an indication that the seal in the filter holder is missing or defective, in this case call the KRUPS Consumer Service Department at 1-800-526-5377 and they can assist you. It is also possible that too much ground coffee has been placed in the filter paper. This causes the water that jets into the filter cone to overflow between the filter and the sides of the filter cone. [. . . ]
