Do not use the appliance if it is visibly damaged. Contact De’Longhi Customer Services. Installing the appliance AN Important! When installing the appliance, respect the fol- lowing safety warnings: + The appliance gives off heat. After positioning the appliance on the worktop, leave a space of at least 3 cm between the surfaces of the appliance and the side and rear walls and at least 15 cm above the coffee maker. + Water penetrating the coffee maker could cause damage. Do not place the appliance near taps or sin- ks. + 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 power cable in such a way that it cannot be damaged by sharp edges or con- tact with hot surfaces (e.g. electric hot pla- tes). Connecting the appliance À Important! Check that the mains power supply voltage cor- responds to the value indicated on the rating pla- te 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. Using the appliance for the first time ©) Please note! + Coffee has been used to factory test the ap- pliance and it is therefore completely normal

for there to be traces of coffee in the mill. The machine is, however, guaranteed to be new. + You should customise water hardness as soon as possible following the instructions in the section “Setting water hardness” on page 17. Follow the instructions:

1. Remove the water tank, fill to the MAX line

with fresh water (fig. 1A) then put back in the appliance (fig. 1B).

2. Place a container with a minimum capacity

of 100 ml under the cappuccino maker (fig. 2).

3. Press the 1 cup button ©Z (fig. 11) until the

&Z_ light starts flashing and the appliance Starts delivering coffee, then release the but- ton.

4. As soon as the coffee in the cup reaches the

required level, press the 1 cup button © (fig. 11) again. The quantity of coffee in the cup has now been programmed. Adjusting the coffee mill The coffee mill is preset in the factory to make coffee correctly and should not require adjusting initially. However, if after making the first few coffees you find that the coffee is too thin and not creamy enough or that delivery is too slow (a drop at a time), this can be corrected by adju- Sting the grinding adjustment knob (fig. 12). Q Please note! The grinding adjustment knob must only be tur- ned when the coffee mill is in operation. If the coffee is delivered too slowly or not at all, turn one click clockwise towards “7”. For fuller bodied creamier coffee, turn one click anti- clockwise towards “1” (do not turn more than one click at a time otherwise the cof- fee could be delivered a drop at a time). These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of coffee have been delivered. If this adjustment does not obtain the desired result, turn the knob another click.

Tips for a hotter coffee For a hotter coffee, before delivery you are re- commended to: + rinse the appliance through by pressing the & button. Hot water flows out of the coffee Spouts and heats the internal circuit of the machine so that the coffee delivered will be hotter. + warm the cups with hot water (using the hot water function); + select the “high” coffee temperature in the menu. Making coffee using coffee beans AN Important! Do not use caramelised or candied coffee beans as they could stick to the coffee mill and make it unusable.

1. Fillthe container with coffee beans (fig. 13).

2. Place under the coffee spouts:

- 1 cup if you want one coffee (fig. 10); - 2 cups if you want 2 coffees.

3. Lower the spouts as near as possible to the

cup. This makes a creamier coffee (fig. 14).

4. Press the button corresponding to the num-

ber of coffees required (1 cup &Z or2 cups SZ, , figs. 11 and 15).

Ifthe coffee is delivered a drop at a time, too thin and not creamy enough or too cold, read the tips in the “Troubleshooting” section on page 21. + Lights may be displayed on the control pa- nel during use. Their meaning is given in the section “Explanation of the lights” on page

Making coffee using pre-ground coffee AN Important! + Never add pre-ground coffee when the ma- chine is off or it could spread through the inside of the machine and dirty it. This could damage the appliance. + Never use more than 1 level measure or it could dirty the inside of the coffee maker or block the funnel. ©) Please note: If you use pre-ground coffee, you can only make one cup of coffee at a time.

1. Press the OGouton repeatedly (fig. 9)

CLEANING Cleaning the coffee maker The following parts of the machine must be cle- aned regularly: - coffee grounds container (A13), - rip tray (A17) and condensate tray (A14), - water tank (A9), - coffee spouts (A12), -__pre-ground coffee funnel (A6), - inside of the machine, accessible after ope- ning the infuser door (A10), - _infuser (A11). VAN Important! + Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or

alcohol to clean the coffee maker. With De’Longhi superautomatic coffee ma- kers, you need not use chemical products to clean the machine. The descaler recommended by De’Longhi is made from natural and completely biodegra- dable substances. + None ofthe components can be washed in a dishwasher. + Do not use metal objects to remove encru- stations or coffee deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces. Cleaning the coffee grounds container Whenthe {z=zJ light flashes, the coffee grounds container must be emptied and cleaned.

Ifthe drip tray is not emptied regularly, the water could overflow from the edge and seep inside or around the coffee maker. This could damage the machine, the surface it rests on or the surrounding area. The drip tray is fitted with a level indicator (red) showing the level of water it contains (fig. 24). Before the indicator protrudes from the cup tray, the drip tray must be emptied and cleaned. To remove the drip tray:

1. Remove the drip tray and the grounds con-

2. Empty the drip tray and grounds container

4. Replace the drip tray and grounds container.
