• Read all instructions carefully.
• Make sure the voltage of your electrical system corresponds to the voltage shown on the bottom of the machine.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against fire, electrical shock and personal injury, do not immerse cord, plug, or appliance in water or other liquid.
• Keep the appliance out of the reach of children and do not leave appliance unattended while in operation.
• Disconnect the plug from the power outlet when the machine is not in use and before cleaning.

• The use of accessories not recommended by the manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock, or personal injury.
• Do not use the machine outdoors.
• Make sure the power cord does not hang over the edge of the table or counter-top to avoid getting accidentally caught or entangled.
• Do not place the machine or its electrical parts on or near electric stoves, cooking surfaces, or gas burners.
• Plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, first turn machine "off", then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Do not use this machine for any purpose other than its intended use. This appliance is for household use only. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage caused by improper, incorrect, or irresponsible use.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove the cover or the exterior of the unit. Don't attempt to repair or modify the machine, doing so will void the warranty. Repair should be done by authorized service personnel only!

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

• A short power cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
  If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is provided with 3- wire, ground

ing type cord, the extension should be a GROUNDING TYPE 3 - WIRE CORD. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter-top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

• Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

BEFORE USE

Checking the appliance

After removing the packaging, make sure the product is complete and undamaged and that all accessories are present. Do not use the appliance if it is visibly damaged. Contact De'Longhi Customer Services.

Installing the appliance

When you install the appliance, you should respect the following safety warnings:

• The machine gives off heat. After positioning the machine on the worktop, leave a space of at least 1.18 in / 3 cm between the surfaces of the machine and the side and rear walls and at least 5.6 in / 15 cm above the coffee maker.
  Water penetrating the machine could cause damage. Do not place the appliance near taps or sinks.
• The appliance could be damaged if the water it contains freezes.

Do not install the appliance in a room where the temperature could drop below freezing point.

• Arrange the cord in such a way that it cannot be damaged by sharp edges or come with contact with hot surfaces (e.g. electric hot plates).
• Adjust the cord length and store the excess in the cord guide under the machine.

Connecting the appliance

Check that the mains power supply voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate on the bottom of the appliance. Connect the appliance to an efficiently earthed and correctly installed socket with a minimum current rating of 10A only. If the power socket does not match the plug on the appliance, have the socket replaced with a suitable type by a qualified professional.

CARAFE (S) (some models only)

Ensure your carafe (S) is clean and empty before brewing. Residual coffee will affect the taste and can cause overflow. Lock the carafe lid and place the carafe under the coffee spout.

Pre-heating

To obtain best results it is recommended to pre-heat the carafe or cup.

A pre-heated carafe will help maintain the coffee's optimal temperature and keep coffee hotter for longer time. To pre-heat the carafe fill it with hot water, wait about 30 seconds and empty the carafe.

Cleaning the carafe

After each use and before brewing a new preparation, empty

the carafe. Rinse the carafe and the carafe lid under warm running water. We also recommend regularly washing the carafe in warm, soapy water using a soft bristled brush. Rinse and dry. Do not use abrasive pads, cloths or cleaners which can scratch the surface.

CLEANING

Important: Before maintenance or cleaning of the appliance, turn off and unplug. Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to clean the coffee machine. Do not use metal objects to remove coffee deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces. Disposal water container (P), coffee grounds container (Q) and carafe (S) can be washed in a dishwasher, the other components of the machine are hand-wash only.

The following parts of the machine must be cleaned regularly:

• Coffee grounds container (Q): When the coffee grounds container (Q) is full the icon lights on.

To access to the components remove the tray assemble (L). Extract and empty the grounds container and clean thoroughly to remove all residues left on the bottom. It is normal to find small amount of ground coffee residues inside the unit or around the infuser. The appliance cannot be used to make coffee until you have cleaned the grounds container. Even if not full, empty the coffee grounds container after two, three days.

• Disposal water container (P): empty and clean with a

damp cloth and a little mild washing up liquid.

• Drip tray (R): the drip tray is fitted with a water level indicator (O) showing the amount of water it contains. Before the indicator protrudes from the cup tray (N), the drip tray must be emptied and cleaned, otherwise the water may overflow the edge and damage the appliance, the surface it rests on or the surrounding area.

Please note: When cleaning the drip tray, the grounds (Q) and water (P) containers must always be emptied completely, even if they are not actually full.

• Infuser (I) and Draining tray (Z): The infuser must be cleaned at least once a month.

Press the two red release buttons inwards and at the same time pull the infuser outwards. Soak the infuser in water for about 5 minutes, then rinse under the tap.

Do not use detergents to clean the infuser as this could cause damage.

Remove any coffee residues left in the infuser housing.

Extract, empty and rinse the Draining tray (Z), then put the tank back in the appliance correctly.

After cleaning, replace the infuser by sliding it onto the internal support, then push the PUSH symbol fully in until it clicks into place.

Please note: The infuser cannot be extracted when the machine is on. Make sure the machine has run the shutdown procedure correctly.

• Pre-ground coffee funnel (B): Check regularly (about once a month) that the pre-ground coffee funnel is not blocked. If necessary, remove coffee deposits with a brush. It is possible to take out the funnel for a better cleaning.
• Water tank (F): clean the water tank regularly (about once a month) with a damp cloth and a little mild washing up liquid.
