Vigtige sikkerhedsinstruktioner
Ved brug af elektriske apparater skal grundlæggende sikkerhedsforanstaltninger altid følges for at reducere risikoen for brand, elektrisk stød og/eller personskade, herunder følgende:
- Læs alle instruktioner.
- Rør ikke ved varme overflader. Brug håndtag eller knopper.
- To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or coffeemaker in water or other liquid.
- Tæt opsyn er nødvendigt, når et apparat bruges af eller i nærheden af børn.
- Træk stikket ud af stikkontakten, når det ikke er i brug, og før rengøring. Lad det køle af, før du sætter dele på eller af, og før du rengør apparatet.
- Betjen ikke noget apparat med en beskadiget ledning eller stik, eller efter at apparatet ikke fungerer korrekt eller er blevet beskadiget på nogen måde. Returner apparatet til det nærmeste autoriserede serviceværksted for undersøgelse, reparation eller justering.
- Brug af tilbehør, der ikke er anbefalet af apparatets producent, kan resultere i brand, elektrisk stød eller personskade.
- Må ikke bruges udendørs.
- Lad ikke ledningen hænge ud over kanten af bordet eller bordpladen eller røre ved varme overflader.
- Må ikke placeres på eller i nærheden af en varm gas- eller elektrisk brænder eller i en opvarmet ovn.
- Sæt altid stikket i apparatet først, og sæt derefter ledningen i stikkontakten. For at afbryde forbindelsen skal du slukke for en vilkårlig knap og derefter tage stikket ud af stikkontakten.
- Brug ikke apparatet til andet end tilsigtet brug.
- Kanden er designet til brug med dette apparat. Det må aldrig bruges på en range top.
- Stil ikke en varm karaffel på en våd eller kold overflade.
- Brug ikke en revnet kande eller en kande med et løst eller svækket håndtag.
- Rengør ikke karaffel med rensemidler, ståluldspuder eller andet slibende materiale.
Opsætning

- Indledende rengøring: Before first use, wash the carafe, carafe lid, and permanent gold tone filter in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly. Wipe the exterior of the coffeemaker with a damp klæde.
- Første brygcyklus (rengøring): Fill the water reservoir with fresh cold water to the 12-cup mark. Place the empty permanent gold tone filter in the filter holder. Run a full brewing cycle without coffee grounds. Discard the water. This cleans the internal components.
- Installation af vandfilter: The coffeemaker includes a vegetable-based water filter designed to remove chlorine from tap water. Follow the instructions provided with the filter for proper installation into the water reservoir. Replace the filter as recommended by the manufacturer.
- Placering: Place the coffeemaker on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface, away from the edge of the counter and out of reach of children. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
Betjeningsvejledning
Brygning af kaffe
- Fyld vandbeholder: 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.
- Tilsæt kaffegrums: 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.
- Vælg brygstyrke: 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.
- Stærk: For 4-12 cups of robust coffee.
- Sted Karaffel: 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.
- Begynd at brygge: Press the "On" button to begin the brewing cycle. The coffeemaker will automatically start brewing.
- 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.
Programmerbare funktioner
- Indstilling af uret: Use the "Clock" button and adjustment buttons on the control panel to set the current time (24-hour format).
- Indstilling af timeren: 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.
- Adjustable Warming Plate: The warming plate can be set at six different temperatures to keep your coffee warm. Use the dedicated buttons on the control panel to select your preferred temperature. The warming plate also features an automatic shut-off function.
- Carafe Pre-warm: An option is available to prewarm the 60-ounce carafe before brewing. Consult the control panel for this setting.
Opretholdelse
Daglig rengøring
- Karaffel og låg: After each use, wash the glass carafe and its lid in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. The carafe is not dishwasher safe.
- Permanent Gold Tone Filter: 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.
- Ydre: Tør ydersiden af kaffemaskinen af med adamp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Never immerse the coffeemaker unit in water.
Afkalkning
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.
- 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.
- Run Decalcifying Cycle: Pour the solution into the water reservoir. Place the empty carafe on the warming plate. Run a full brewing cycle.
- Skyllecyklusser: 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.
Note: Replacement water filters can be ordered separately to maintain water quality.
