[. . . ] When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and/or injury to persons, including the following: 1- Read all instructions and information in this instruction book and any other literature included in this carton referring to this product before operating or using this appliance. 3- To protect against fire, electric shock and personal injury do not immerse cord, plugs or appliance in water or other liquid. 4- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance. [. . . ] We do not recommend using coffee that is ground to a powder-like consistency, as this will prevent water from passing through the filter. ATTENTION : Make sure that the filter paper does not fold over when closing the swivel filter, otherwise the water might run between the filter paper and the filter holder producing a very weak cup of coffee. The amount of freshly brewed coffee delivered after the brewing process will always be slightly less than the amount put into the water chamber. This is due to the minimal absorption of the water by the ground coffee. The water levels on drip carafe and appliance do take this absorption in account for more convenience. We recommend rinsing the coffee machine by running one or two cycles with water only, without ground coffee in the filter basket. The lid of the glass carafe must be properly positioned during the brewing process. Make sure that the swivel filter is closed properly during the brewing process. Recognizable indications that descaling is necessary are : - increase noise during boiling, - longer preparation time. If usage is frequent, descaling should be carried out as follows : - with soft water once a year, - with medium hard water every quarter year, - with hard water once a month. In doubt regarding the water hardness in your area, you may call your local water department. As descaling agent we recommend the use of reference solution N°F054 from Satisfusion 1 Service at 888-344-0727. dissolve a packet of Krups descaling solution in 1/2 quart water and pour into the water container. Run this through 2 or 3 times as if making coffee, but using no ground coffee. The hot descaling solution must be allowed to cool down before being poured into the water container. clean the filter basket , carafe , and lid in a solution of warm water and mild liquid soap. These parts can also be placed in Place your appliance near an electrical outlet and release enough cord so that you can plug in the machine (2). Place the filter basket (e8) into the filter holder (e9) and rotate basket inside filter holder to secure it (11). Pack the coffee lightly and clear any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder. Do not fill more coffee than indicated by the four-cup marking into the filter basket. To insert the filter holder, place the filter handle's to the left, raise the filter holder up into brewing head and turn the filter holder to the right, until it can go no further. If the filter holder's handle does not point toward you in lock position, do not operate the machine. [. . . ] 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. Following this, allow 2 boiler container of clear water to run through the system. [. . . ]
