. The amount of freshly
brewed coffee deliver-
ed after the brewing pro-
cess willalways be
slightlyless than the
amount put into the
water chamber. This is
due to the minimal
absorption of the water
by the ground coffee.
Therefore, put in a little
more water to begin
withso that you will
have the number of
cups that you desire.

Stop'N Serve Feature
The Stop'N Serve feature is
KRUPS'answer to the
impatient coffee drinker's
clamor fora quick cup of
coffee! Thisdevice automa-
ticallystops the flowof
brewed coffee through the
tilter cone ifthe glass carafe
is removed fromthe warm-
ing plate duringthe brewing
cycle. Youhave about
20 seconds between the
removal of the carafe and it
being reinserted back onto
the warming plate.
The Stop'N Serve device
closes offthe tilter cone so
effectivelythat there is vir-
tually no coffee-drip onto
the warming plate. Once
the carafe is replaced, the
brewing process and the
flowof coffee into the
carafe can be resumed.
CAUTION
Ifthe coffee DOESdrip
onto the warming plate
after the removal of the
carafe, it is usually an indi-
cation that the seal in the
filterholder is missing or
defective. Inthis case call
the KRUPSConsumer
Service Department at
1-800-526-5377and they
can assist you.
Itisalso possible that too
much ground coffee has
been placed inthe filter
paper. Thiscauses the
water that jets into the tilter
cone to overflow between
the filterand the sides of
the filtercone.
Ifthis blockage and subse-
quent dripping does occur,
put the glass carafe imme-
diately back onto the warm-
ingplate, and allowthe full
brewing cycle to run its
course. Do not swing out
the swiveltilter untilthe bre-
wingprocess is completed.
CLEANING
. Alwaysunplug this appli-
ance before cleaning.
Clean the filterbasket,
carafe, and lidina solu-
tion ofwarm water and
mildliquidsoap. These
parts can also be placed
inthe upper level of
your dishwasher away
from the heating and
dryingelement for safe
effective cleaning.
. Never use scouring
agents.
. Never immerse the
appliance itself inwater.
Toclean, simplywipe off
witha soft, damp cloth.
. Never use a cloth to
clean inside of the water
chamber, as this might
leave fuzzydeposits in
the chamber. Just rinse
with cold water periodi-
cally.
DeCALCIFYING
Although your KRUPS cof-
fee maker has the most
advanced water heating
and pumping system, it will
periodically need cleaning
with a decalcifying agent.
. Thisis due to the cal-
cium (limestone) found
in drinking water.
. Insomeareas wherethe
water is hard, you will
need to decalcify more
frequently than in areas
with soft water.
