This manual provides detailed instructions for the safe and efficient operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your KRUPS 12-Cup Coffeemaker, model FME1-11. Please read all instructions carefully before using the appliance.
The KRUPS 12-Cup Coffeemaker is designed for fast and efficient brewing, featuring an 1100-watt system, a cascading brew head for even extraction, and a 1- to 3-cup aroma setting. It includes a 12-cup glass carafe with an ergonomic handle and no-drip spout, a soft-eject swing-out filter holder, and a duo-filter water-filtration system to enhance coffee taste and reduce mineral deposits.

The coffeemaker features a duo-filter water-filtration system. Refer to the filter packaging for specific installation instructions. Generally, the filter is placed within the water reservoir or filter basket.
The coffeemaker is equipped with a brew-pause feature, allowing you to temporarily remove the carafe to pour a cup of coffee before the brewing cycle is complete. The flow of coffee will automatically stop. Replace the carafe within 20 seconds to prevent overflow.
For safety and energy conservation, the coffeemaker will automatically shut off two hours after the brewing cycle is completed.
Mineral deposits (lime scale) can build up in your coffeemaker over time, affecting performance and coffee taste. Descale your coffeemaker regularly, depending on the hardness of your water and frequency of use (e.g., every 2-3 months).
If your model uses a replaceable water filter, replace it according to the manufacturer's recommendations, typically every 2 months or after 60 brewing cycles, to maintain optimal water quality and reduce mineral buildup.
