Get started with the Krups Evidence
Before you can start making coffee with your new coffee machine, you have to make it ready for use in 3 steps. We'll go through these steps with you:
- Step 1. Connect the machine
- Step 2. Set the water hardness
- Step 3. Install the water filter
You need:
- Water hardness test strip
- Container of at least 600ml
- Water filter
Step 1: connect the coffee machine
- Plug the connector into the socket.
- Take the manual and the milk tube out of the bean hopper, and take the water filter from the water tank.
- Press the power button to turn the machine on.
- Select the right language with the arrow keys and press 'ok' to confirm.
- Set the measuring unit to 'ml' and press 'ok'.
- Set the time. Choose between AM/PM or 24 hours, and press 'ok'. Set the current time with the arrow keys and press 'ok' to confirm.
- Set the date and press 'ok'.
- You'll get the option to turn the machine on at a fixed time. Choose between 'yes' and 'no'. Confirm with 'ok'.
- In the end, you'll get the option to make the machine turn off after a number of minutes. Set the time to 30 minutes, for example, and press 'ok'.
Step 2: set the water hardness
- Set the water hardness with the included water hardness test strip.
- Fill a glass with water and submerge the test strip for 5 seconds.
- Let the strip rest for 1 minute and check the water hardness.
- The number of red blocks on the test strip indicates the water hardness level.
- Set the water hardness on the display and press 'ok'.
- The machine asks for an automatic rinse. Press 'yes' and then 'ok'.
Step 3: set the water filter
- The display shows 'filter'. Press 'yes' to set up the water filter. Press 'ok' to confirm'.
- Take the water tank from the machine and fill it with water up to 'max'.
- Take the water filter and twist the ring on the water filter ahead 2 months. This way, the second number shows the month in which you need to replace the water filter.
- Click the attachment onto the water filter and twist the water filter onto the bottom of the water tank.
- Place the water tank back into the coffee machine.
- Place container of at least 600ml under the coffee outlet.
- Press 'ok' to rinse the water filter. This way, the machine rinses automatically.
