Instrucciones de funcionamiento

Preparando café

1. Llenar el depósito de agua: Open the lid and fill the water reservoir with fresh, cold water using the carafe. Refer to the magnified water-level window for accurate measurement. Do not exceed the 12-cup maximum fill line.
2. Agregar café molido: Place the permanent gold tone filter into the filter holder. Add your desired amount of ground coffee. For optimal flavor, use approximately one tablespoon of coffee per cup, adjusting to personal preference.
3. Seleccione la intensidad del café: The electronic control panel allows you to choose from three brewing-cycle options:
   • Full-flavored: For brewing up to three 5-ounce cups of strong coffee.
   • Medium-strength: For 4-12 cups of standard coffee.
   • Fuerte: For 4-12 cups of robust coffee.
   Select your desired strength using the appropriate button on the control panel. The Deep-Brew system pulses hot water through the grounds at precisely timed intervals for optimum flavor extraction.
4. Lugar Garrafa: Ensure the glass carafe with its lid is correctly positioned on the warming plate. The carafe lid is designed to seal in flavor and aroma.
5. Comience a preparar: Press the "On" button to begin the brewing cycle. The coffeemaker will automatically start brewing.
6. Brew-Pause Feature: You can temporarily remove the carafe during the brewing cycle for a mid-brew pour. The coffeemaker will pause for approximately 20 seconds before resuming. Return the carafe to the warming plate within this time to prevent overflow.

• Ajuste del reloj: Use the "Clock" button and adjustment buttons on the control panel to set the current time (24-hour format).
• Configuración del temporizador: To program the coffeemaker to start brewing at a specific time, use the "Timer" button and adjustment buttons. This allows you to set the coffeemaker to brew wake-up coffee.

• Carafe Pre-warm: An option is available to prewarm the 60-ounce carafe before brewing. Consult the control panel for this setting.

Mantenimiento

Limpieza diaria

• Jarra y tapa: After each use, wash the glass carafe and its lid in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. The carafe is not dishwasher safe.
• Filtro permanente de tono dorado: Remove the permanent filter and rinse it under running water to remove all coffee grounds. For a more thorough cleaning, wash with warm, soapy water and a soft brush.
• Exterior: Limpia el exterior de la cafetera con un damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Never immerse the coffeemaker unit in water.

Descalcificante

Over time, mineral deposits (calcification) can build up in your coffeemaker, affecting performance and coffee taste. The KRUPS 453-4C features an electronic warning to indicate when decalcifying is needed. Although residual water is removed when brewing is complete to minimize calcification, regular decalcification is important.

1. Prepare Decalcifying Solution: Mix a solution of white vinegar and water (e.g., 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water) or use a commercial decalcifying agent specifically designed for coffeemakers. Refer to the product's instructions for exact ratios.
2. Run Decalcifying Cycle: Pour the solution into the water reservoir. Place the empty carafe on the warming plate. Run a full brewing cycle.
3. Ciclos de enjuague: After the decalcifying cycle is complete, discard the solution. Fill the water reservoir with fresh, cold water and run two to three full brewing cycles with only water to thoroughly rinse the coffeemaker.

Nota: Replacement water filters can be ordered separately to maintain water quality.
