GETTING STARTED & APPLIANCE INSTALLATION

INITIAL OPERATION
Place the machine on a stable, horizontal, clean and dry work surface. When using the machine for the first time, you are asked to select various settings. Priming the machine allows the water circuits to be filled, so that the machine can operate. Preheating and automatic rinsing will take place. For more information, refer to the Quick Start Guide – 1st USE. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen Your appliance has been checked and tested before leaving the manufacturing facility. Despite all the attention paid to cleaning, it is nevertheless possible that you find coffee residues in the coffee grinder and/or coffee drops on the grid of the drip tray. When unpacking, you may also notice the presence of dust on the machine due to the protective material. We recommend that you thoroughly clean your machine before first use with a cloth. We thank you for your understanding. Never use a damaged appliance.

MACHINE STANDBY
Depending on the preparation, the machine performs automatic rinsing when it is put on standby. The cycle lasts only a few seconds and stops automatically.

WATER
The quality of the water greatly influences the quality of the aromas. Limescale and chlorine may alter the taste of coffee. To preserve all the aromas of your coffee, we recommend that you use fresh water as well as a Claris Aqua Filter System cartridge, or bottled water with dry residue below 800 mg/L (see label on bottle). See the chapter “FILTER AND WATER HARDNESS”.

CUP
When preparing hot drinks we recommend using preheated cups (by passing them under hot water) the size of which is adapted to your desired quantity.

BEANS
Roasted coffee beans may lose their aroma if they are not protected. We advise you to use the amount of beans equivalent to your consumption over the next 2-3 days and to choose 250 g bags. The quality of coffee beans is variable and tastes are subjective. Arabica will give you fine, floral aromas unlike Robusta which is higher in caffeine, more bitter and full-bodied. It is common to mix the two types of coffee to achieve a more balanced coffee. Please do not hesitate to seek advice from your roaster. We do not recommend the use of oily and caramelised beans as these can damage the machine. The fineness of the ground beans influences the strength of the aromas and the quality of the crema. The more finely ground the beans, the smoother the crema. Grinding can also be adapted for the desired drink.

INTUITIVE LIGHT INDICATOR

Your Intuition machine has smart, bright technology to make your everyday life easier: the intuitive light indicator (I). This technology has a dual functionality:

1. The machine automatically detects and controls the levels of coffee beans, water and coffee grounds. When you need to fill or empty your containers, as well as when maintenance is required, the red warning light comes on and you should follow the information on your screen.
2. The intuitive indicator light also allow you to personalise your experience. You can assign a colour to each profile. When one of the profiles is selected, the indicator light takes on the colour of this profile to promote immediate understanding and ultra-fast and intuitive navigation.
   See the chapter “MY PROFILE”.

FILTER AND WATER HARDNESS

WHAT DOES THE WATER HARDNESS ADJUSTMENT DO?
To avoid scaling your machine and to optimise the quality of your coffee, we advise you to set the hardness of your water on your machine.

HOW TO INDICATE THE WATER HARDNESS OF YOUR MACHINE.

• Fill a glass of water Dip the test stick that comes with the machine into your glass filled with water.
• Wait 1 minute. The squares on the test stick change colour.
• Count the number of coloured squares. This tells you how hard your water is, between 0 and 4.
• In the “Water hardness” menu, press the corresponding number between 0 and 4.
• Press OK.

YOU NO LONGER HAVE A TEST STICK?
If you need to repeat this operation later, be sure to change the hardness of the water according to the place of use or the information provided by the water companies, using the table below:

WHY INSTALL A FILTER CARTRIDGE?
The Claris Aqua Filter System cartridge helps to optimise the taste of your coffee, to limit the build-up of limescale and to reduce maintenance operations.

HOW TO INSTALL THE CLARIS AQUA FILTER SYSTEM CARTRIDGE

• The cartridge is placed in the water tank.
• We advise that, when you install your cartridge, you turn the grey ring at the far end of the filter cartridge to show the date of installation + 2 months.
• Correctly position the cartridge in its location, with the numbered ring upwards.
• Use the black screw-in attachment, supplied with the cartridge, to correctly position and screw the cartridge in place.

WHEN SHOULD YOU CHANGE THE CLARIS AQUA FILTER SYSTEM CARTRIDGE?

1. 2 months after installation or when the machine indicates this.

GRINDER: ADJUSTING THE GRINDING FINENESS

WHY ADJUST THE GRINDING FINENESS?
You can adjust the strength of your coffee by adjusting the grinding fineness of the coffee beans. Varying the grinding fineness makes it possible to adapt to different types of bean:

• A heavily roasted and oily bean will require a coarse grind,
• A lighter roasted bean will be drier and will require a fine grind.

In addition, for the same coffee, the setting of your grind impacts the aroma in the cup: the finer the grind, the more powerful the aroma.

HOW TO ADJUST THE GRINDING FINENESS
Turn the setting button located in the coffee bean container to suit your bean type and the power of aroma desired. This adjustment must be performed during grinding and notch by notch. After 3 preparations you will notice a distinct difference in taste;

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN THERE ARE NO MORE BEANS IN THE CONTAINER?
Your Intuition machine is equipped with a sensor to predict the lack of coffee beans in the container. An on-screen message will appear and the Intuitive Indicator Light (I) will illuminate red.

WHAT IF THE ALERT APPEARS DURING THE MAKING?
Fill the container with coffee beans, press OK and the recipe will resume. So no wasted coffee!

HOW TO IF I WANT TO CHANGE COFFEE OR IF I HAVE NO MORE COFFEE?
If you press OK without having added coffee beans, the machine tries to restart and goes back to alert. If you press OK again, the machine performs the making using all the remaining coffee. The grinder is now empty.
If an alert message appears on your screen and the alert light turns red when there are enough beans:

• Press the OK button to start preheating.
• Disable the “no bean” alert to avoid detections when there is coffee left in the coffee bean container.

Your KRUPS Intuition machine has many settings, do not hesitate to try them! This will allow you to personalise your experience even more.

LIST OF SETTINGS:

ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS

OPERATION

1. The machine displays a fault, the software is frozen OR the machine is malfunctioning. Turn off and unplug the machine, remove the filter cartridge, wait 1 minute and restart the machine. Press and hold the ON/OFF button for at least 3 seconds to start.
2. The appliance does not turn on after pressing the ON/OFF button (for at least 3 seconds). Check the fuses and the power socket of your electrical installation. Check that the two power plugs are correctly inserted into the socket.
3. A power failure has occurred during a cycle. The appliance resets automatically when it turns back on.
4. The grinder is running empty.
5. This is normal if it happens occasionally and if there are no coffee beans or only a small amount. It can run for up to 10 seconds off-load to know its consumption and ensure the correct operation of its function
6. Coffee beans remain in the container:

  * The coffee may be too oily and is therefore not being correctly captured by the appliance. You could try helping the beans to go down and see if that gets it working again. However, it is advisable to change coffee (ref. type of beans function).
  * This is my usual coffee that has worked well until now: contact your KRUPS consumer service.

USE

1. The grinder makes an abnormal noise. Foreign bodies are likely to be present in the grinder. Try to clean out with a vacuum cleaner, otherwise contact your KRUPS consumer service.
2. There is water under the appliance.
   • Before removing the drip tray, wait 15 seconds after the flow of coffee so that the machine finishes its cycle correctly.
   • Check that the drip tray is well positioned on the machine. It must always be in place even when the machine is not in use.
   • Verify that the drip tray is not full.
3. The adjustment button for the grinding fineness is difficult to turn. Turn the adjustment button of the grinding fineness only when the grinder is operating.
4. The appliance has not delivered any coffee.
   • An incident has been detected during its making.
   • The appliance is reset automatically and is ready for a new cycle.
5. You have used ground coffee instead of coffee beans.
   • Use your vacuum cleaner to collect the ground coffee from the bean container.
6. Water runs from the coffee nozzles when the machine stops.
   • This is normal. It is an automatic rinsing process to clean the coffee nozzles and ensure that they do not become blocked

STEAM AND MILK

1. The milk flow of your machine appears to be partially or completely blocked. Refer to the beginning of the manual at 5. IN-DEPTH MANUAL CLEANING OF THE MILK DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM – 5 MIN., or see the tutorial saved in your machine “Cleaning the milk nozzle”.

2. No steam comes out.

   • When using a steam cycle for the first time, if no steam comes out correctly: Check that the steam output is not blocked. See above:

3. “The steam output of your machine appears to be partially or completely blocked”.
   Perform the following process once only : Empty the water tank and temporarily remove the Claris Aqua Filter System cartridge. Fill the tank with mineral water high in calcium (>100 mg/L) and make successive steam cycles (5 to 10 cycles) in a container until a continuous jet of steam is obtained. Return the cartridge to the reservoir.

   • The steam nozzle had already worked: Check that the steam output is not blocked. See above: “The steam output of your machine appears to be partially or completely blocked”. If after completing the above steps it still does not work, please contact your KRUPS consumer service.

2. The coffee is too light or not full-bodied enough. Check that the bean container contains coffee and that it is moving down correctly. Avoid the use of oily, caramelised or flavoured coffees which may not be captured properly. Decrease the volume of the preparation and increase the strength of the preparation using the coffee strength function. Turn the “fineness of grinding” button to obtain a finer ground coffee. Make your drink in two cycles using the 2-cup function.
3. The espresso or the coffee is not hot enough. Increase the temperature of the coffee in the machine’s settings. Heat the cup by rinsing with hot water before starting to prepare the drink.
