IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
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:  
Read  
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.  
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.  
To protect against electric shock, do not immerse  
cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.  
l
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance  
is used by or near children.  
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before  
cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking  
off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.  
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  
an authorized service facility for examination,  
repair or adjustment.  
Check that your appliances’ voltage matches your  
electrical supply.  
Always lift the glass carafe by the handle only,  
never by the anti-drip ring.  
The glass carafe is not suitable for use in  
microwave ovens, above open fire or gas flame, or  
on electric burners.  
Do not refill the appliance while it is still hot; allow  
appliance to cool down for at least ten minutes  
between uses.  
Do not pour hot water or other liquids into the  
water reservoir.  
Do not allow the cord to touch any hot part of the  
appliance.  
l
The use of an accessory not evaluated for use with  
this appliance may cause injuries.  
Do not use outdoors.  
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter,  
or touch hot surfaces.  
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner,  
or in a heated oven.  
l
l
To disconnect, turn switch to “OFF”, then remove  
plug from wall outlet.  
Do not use appliance for other than intended use.  
Snap lid securely onto glass carafe before serving  
beverages.  
Appliance with glass carafe:  
A. The carafe is designed for use with these  
appliances. It must never be used on a range  
top.  
B. Do not set a hot carafe on a wet or cold  
surface.  
C. Do not use a cracked carafe or a carafe having  
a loose or weakened handle.  
D. Do not clean carafe with cleansers, steel wool  
pads, or other abrasive material.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
CAUTION  
This appliance is for household use only. Any servicing  
other than cleaning and user maintenance should be  
performed by the nearest authorized KRUPS Service  
Center (see Guarantee of Performance).  
Do not immerse base in water.  
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove  
the base. No user  
parts inside. Repair should  
be done by an authorized KRUPS Service Center only.  
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS  
Regarding your cord set:  
A. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce  
risks resulting from becoming entangled in or  
tripping over a longer cord.  
B. Longer extension cords are available and may be  
used if care is exercised in their use.  
C. If a long extension cord is used,  
the marked  
electrical rating of the extension cord should be at  
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,  
if the appliance is of the grounded type, the  
extension cord should be arranged so that it will not  
drape over the counter top or table top where it can  
be pulled on by children or tripped over.  
D. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is  
wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug  
will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug  
does not fully fit in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it  
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.  
Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

Before you start  
We suggest using one level KRUPS  
measuring scoop of ground coffee for  
each cup of robust coffee. After using  
your KRUPS coffeemaker several  
times, you can adjust the measure to  
suit your own taste.  
Before making your first pot of  
delicious coffee, we recommend  
operating the coffeemaker once or  
twice with water only, without ground  
coffee or a filter, to remove any  
possible dust.

Close the filter holder and make sure  
that it is completely closed (figure 7).  
so effectively that there is virtually no  
coffee-drip onto the warming plate  
(one drop, at most). Once the carafe is  
replaced, the brewing cycle and the  
flow of coffee into the carafe are  
resumed.  
Set the carafe lid on the carafe, and  
replace the carafe on the warming  
plate.  
n
Press the ON/OFF switch (figure  
A red indicator light will illuminate and  
brewing will commence.  
CAUTION:  
If coffee does drip onto the warming  
plate after removal of the carafe, it is  
usually an indication that too much  
ground coffee has been placed into the  
paper filter. This causes the water that  
jets into the filter cone to overflow  
between the paper filter and the sides  
of the filter cone. The overflow carries  
coffee grounds that interfere with the  
snap-shut action of the filter holder,  
thus allowing brewed coffee to  
continue to drip through.  
CAUTION: Never open the filter holder  
during the brewing process.

This model features a full flavor  
selector button. If you want to make  
l-3 cups of coffee, press the flavor  
selector button (figure 9).  
A yellow indicator light will illuminate.  
This will extend the brewing cycle so  
that the water will seep into the ground  
coffee slowly enough to yield brewed  
coffee that is rich, aromatic and truly  
delicious.  
If this blockage and subsequent  
dripping do occur, replace the glass  
carafe immediately and allow the full  
brewing cycle to run its course. Do not  
remove the filter until the brewing  
cycle is completed.  
The flavor selector button is  
automatically switched off when the  
appliance shuts off.  
Remove the glass carafe when the  
brewing process is completed and  
serve.  
The KRUPS “Premium” is equipped  
with an automatic shut-off feature, that  
will turn off the machine 2 hours after  
the brewing process has begun (the  
red indicator light will turn off).  
n
Replace the carafe on the warming  
plate to keep it hot (figure  
The appliance can be switched off  
manually at any time, however, by  
using the ON/OFF switch.  
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  
The power cord can be tailored to  
the length required by utilising the  
hidden cord storage located behind  
the coffeemaker (figure  
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 being  
reinserted to allow the service of one  
or two cups of coffee. The “Stop’n  
Serve” device closes off the filter cone  
water. It will also depend upon how  
often you use your coffeemaker.

Always use fresh, cold water (warm  
water might be stale and have  
mineral deposits which would impair  
the flavor of the coffee).  
Indications that decalcifying is  
necessary are:  
increased noise during the brewing  
process  
We recommend that you grind your  
own beans. Freshly ground beans  
deliver more aroma and flavor.  
Use one KRUPS measuring scoop of  
beans per cup.

To decalcify, dissolve 1 packet of  
KRUPS decalcifying agent in 2 cups of  
cold water. Pour the solution into the

process). Repeat. Allow the solution to
