Introduction
Your new KRUPS “Espresso Vivo” features
the latest in espresso technology and the
most sophisticated features.
Your new “Espresso Vivo” is another one of
KRUPS finest espresso makers that is now
available to you for at home use.
Your “Espresso
for the First lime
We recommend that you get familiar with
all the parts of your “Espresso Vivo” before
operating the machine. Insert filter holder
into the machine and remove and replace
the water reservoir. Wipe off the steam
nozzle and “Perfect Froth” attachment with a
damp cloth to make sure all dust particles
from transport are removed. Wash all loose
parts in warm, soapy water, rinse
thoroughly and dry.
When using your “Espresso Vivo” for the
first time we recommend running water
through the machine to remove any dust
particles that may have settled during
shipping.
Make sure before you start that the
removable overflow grid is properly in place
and that the drip tray is properly inserted.
Before plugging the appliance into an
electrical outlet, make sure that the pump
switch is in the 0 position.
Before First Use Cleaning the Internal
System
Before using your “Espresso for the
first time, as well as after a long period of
non-use, you will need to prime the machine
for optimal performance. This requires
running several cups of water through the
system (without espresso). To prime the unit:
Step 1
n Open the water chamber lid and remove
the water reservoir figure
This allows you to conveniently bring the
water reservoir to the faucet.
n Fill the water container with fresh
cold water just below the hinge of the
handle (see figure
n Insert the water container back into the
appliance (see figure
Make sure that it sits in properly so the
valve on the base of the water reservoir is
activated. The front view water level
indicator tells you how much water you
have added.
