Cleaning And Maintenance - Krups XP52 series Bedienungsanleitungen

English
n Move the steam nozzle towards the outside of the appliance.
n Pour 60 to 100ml of fresh skimmed, semi skimmed or whole milk in a small container of about 1/2 litre
and which can pass under the steam nozzle. The milk and its container should be quite cold.
n We recommend that you use pasteurised or uHT milk and that you avoid using unpasteurised milk.
n As soon as the indicator lamp stops blinking, plunge the steam nozzle into the milk.
n Turn the switch to the "steam" position (fig. 13).
n For a good result, hold the nozzle towards the bottom of the container for about 25 seconds while
the milk heats (without however touching the bottom of the container). Then, bring the container
down gradually so that the nozzle moves up towards the surface (without ever coming out of the milk)
(fig.14).
n Once the froth has formed, turn the switch to the "stop" position (fig.15). The appliance will now
automatically cool itself by launching 3 intermittent pumping cycles. Once this is automatic operation
is complete, you can make a coffee.
IMPORTANT:
To prevent the steam nozzle holes from being clogged, the milk foam must not
reach the black plastic upper part.
It is important to clean the steam nozzle after each use to prevent the milk from drying on the inside of
the nozzle. To do so:
n Place the steam nozzle in a container with water and repeat the milk frothing operation for 30 seconds.
ATTENTION!
The steam nozzle is still hot!

n Turn the switch to the "steam preheating" position. • Once the light has stopped blinking, turn the
switch to the "steam" position.
n Once the froth has been formed, turn the switch to the "stop" position. The appliance will now
automatically cool itself by launching 3 intermittent pumping cycles. Once this is automatic operation
is complete, you can make a coffee.
To prevent the milk from drying on the auto-cappuccino accessory, we strongly recommend.

n When a thin white layer starts to form in the tank, carry out a descaling operation (see paragraph 9
"DESCALING").
CLEANING Of THE DRIP TRAY
The drip tray must be emptied after each time the appliance is used. Lift up slightly and remove it from
the appliance.
If multiple espressos are prepared one after the other, it should be emptied from time to time (every 7 to 8
espressos approximately) (fig.19 and 20). The presence of water is normal and is not the sign of a leak.
If necessary, clean the drip tray and its grid with water and a little gentle washing-up liquid, rinse and dry.
When reassembling the components, make sure everything is in the right place.
CLEANING Of THE PERCOLATION HEAD AND fILTER HOLDER
n They must be cleaned after each use. Simply wipe a damp cloth over the percolation head (fig. 21)
and clean the filter holder under running water and use a small amount gentle washing-up liquid.
n Do not use alcohol or solvent-based cleaning products.
n For best results, you can activate the "EJECT" button several times during rinsing. We recommend that
you shake the filter holder thoroughly in order to remove all the water.
n rinse and dry.
n When not using your espresso coffee maker, do not leave the filter holder on it, in order to prevent wear
to the seal.
For more thorough cleaning, the filter holder can be dismantled:
n You can remove the black plastic part where the coffee outlets and the "EJECT" button are to be found:
turn it to the left and pull sharply (fig. 22).
n Clean the various components under running water and a little gentle washing-up liquid.
n rinse and dry.
n replace the black plastic part in the metal holder, turn it to the right until the two arrows on each
component line up.
If the percolation head is heavily clogged up, unscrew the grid using a screw-driver, clean it and refit it,
pressing down firmly (fig.23).
Of THE STEAM NOZZLE
n This accessory consists of 2 parts: one part which is the plastic support and the other which is the
metal protection cylinder.
n Before cleaning, unlock the nozzle from the articulated arm by turning it to the left (fig.16, 16.2).
n Then slide the metal cylinder along the plastic support (fig.16.3).
n Clean these two parts with tap water and some mild washing-up liquid (fig.17).
n rinse and dry.
n Once the parts have been properly cleaned, put the metal cylinder back on the support.
n Make sure that you don't damage the silicone seal which makes the nozzle watertight (fig.16.3).
n Insert the nozzle on the articulated arm then lock to the right (fig.18.1, 18.2).
8. DESCALING
The guarantee does not cover appliances which become faulty because the descaling operations have
not been carried out regularly.
Descale your espresso maker regularly using white vinegar or a packet of citric or sulphamic acid which
you can buy in most hardware stores.
We recommend that you use the Krups descaling accessory, reference f054, available in krups
authorized service centres. In addition to two descaling sachets, this accessory includes a water hardness
tape tester to assess the required frequency with which your appliance should be descaled, in normal
