- ..and plug into the block.

- Replace the nozzle and Start the rinse cycle for the One Touch Cappuccino block to remove any remaining deposits.
We recommend keeping your milk unit clean when the machine is not in use for best frothing results in the long run
DESCALING YOUR MACHINE
We recommend descaling your machine when the alert appears on the display. The frequency of descaling is dependent your machine usage. - When the descaling alert level is reached and displayed, press OK to run the descaling program.
Please remove the water filter before running the descaling program.
Once the procedure has been launched, follow the instructions provided on the screen.
It is also possible to run a descaling cycle via the “Maintenance” menu→ “Descaling”.
To carry out a descaling program, you will require a container with a capacity of at least 600ml which should be placed beneath the “One Touch Cappuccino” block and a KRUPS descaling sachet (40g). Fill the water tank up to the CALC mark and pour one sachet of descaler into the tank.The descaling program comprises three phases: a descaling cycle and two rinsing cycles. The program lasts approximately 20 minutes.
We recommend installing a water filter to protect your machine against the build up of scale, see “Installing the water filter” section in the machine start up.
CLEANING YOUR MACHINE
We recommend running a cleaning program when prompted by your machine or following a long period of inactivity. The cleaning cycle can be accessed via the “Maintenance” menu. - To run this cleaning program, you will need a container which holds at least 600ml, and which should be placed beneath the coffee outlets and the steam nozzle, and a KRUPS cleaning tablet. Carefully follow the instructions given on the screen. It is also possible to run a cleaning cycle via the “Maintenance” menu.
EMPTYING YOUR COFFEE GROUN
- After a certain number of coffees, the machine will ask you to empty the coffee grounds collector and the drip tray. If the message “Please empty the two trays” is displayed, remove, empty and clean the drip collector tray. Remove, empty and clean the coffee grounds collector.
MACHINE TOP TIPS
- Light-medium roasts are the best to start with if you are new to the own ground coffee experience, this will help you find the best flavour and aroma of coffee for you.
- Use your machine on a regular basis once or twice a day, leaving your machine for longer periods of inactivity can be bad for the quality of the output. If you are leaving your machine for longer periods (eg to go on holiday) empty the water tank and remove the beans (store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place). Ensure you clean your machine before first use upon return by running a full coffee through to clean the system.
- Do a quick rinse when you use the steam arm to remove milk residue. A quick clean after every use can increase the longevity of your machine. Just rinse off and wipe the arm before going to enjoy your fresh coffee.
- When using a new bean roast, start at the most coarse grind setting, and adjust to taste. Be careful of flavoured beans or extra dark roast coffee as some beans become oily in the roasting process and can cause blockages in the grinders. The finer the grind setting the slower the flow of coffee to your cup. Always make a long coffee using a coarse grind.
- Good Crema indicates all is well; if you have a good crema on the espresso you’ve made, it’s a good indication that the brewing cycle and machines are well maintained. Follow the machine’s cleaning cycle indicators, as they are defined based on the water quality and heat preferences you have selected when installing the machine. Ensure you check your water quality every season (Spring, Summer, etc) as it can change through the year depending on your water provider.
