Krups Espresso Vivo - Manual (Page 13)

This process cools the machine sufficiently
to prepare additional cups of espresso.
Heating Liquids
The steam nozzle can also be used to heat
liquids, without frothing, such as tea and
instant soup. To heat liquids:
Set the pump switch to the off position.
Swing out the steam nozzle and remove the
“Perfect Froth” attachment
Make sure there is enough water in the
water reservoir
Turn the unit “on”. Initially, a small amount
of water and steam will emerge from the
steam nozzle.
As soon as the yellow thermostat light goes
out, place the cup or container under the
steam nozzle. Turn the steam knob slowly to
the max position.
Once liquid is heated, slowly return the
steam knob back to the position and
remove the cup from under the steam
nozzle.
NOTE:
If you wish to prepare espresso immediately
after using the steam feature, it is essential
to allow the machine to adjust to the proper
temperature. Insert the empty filter holder
and place a cup directly underneath. Turn
the pump switch to the position and
allow water to run through until the yellow
thermostat light illuminates. Return the
pump switch to the off position and prepare
espresso.
Cleaning the Perfect Froth
Attachment
It is strongly advised that you wipe off the
milk residue which may have collected on
the “Perfect Froth” and steaming nozzle
after the frothing process is completed.
n For a thorough cleaning of the “Perfect
Froth” attachment, remove the separate
parts A, B, C (see figure 22).
All parts should be rinsed in warm, soapy
water. If the small section of part A is
clogged, it can be opened using a fine
sewing needle.
Use caution when removing the “Perfect
Froth” from the steaming nozzle as it may
still be hot.
Use a damp cloth to clean the steam nozzle.
Use caution when cleaning or removing the
steaming nozzle as it may still be hot.
Cleaning the Machine
n After preparing espresso five times, the
drip tray and grid may need to be
emptied and cleaned (see figure 20).
The water reservoir, drip tray, baffle grid,
filter holder, and “Perfect Froth” attachment
should be washed and rinsed in warm,
soapy water on a regular basis.
The warming tray can be removed and
wiped with a damp cloth for easy cleaning.
Do not place any loose pieces in the
dishwasher.
IMPORTANT:
Clean the steam nozzle each time you have
immersed it in milk, otherwise the inside of
the nozzle becomes clogged with milk
particles. Allow the steam to escape into a
wet cloth for one or two seconds after
frothing milk. This will flush out any milk
residue.
CAUTION: Do not try to disassemble
the main body of the machine.
If necessary, the steam nozzle can be
removed using the hexagonal key located
on the measuring spoon (see figure 21).
When replacing, do not overtighten.
Do not attempt this while steam nozzle is
hot.
