3. SETTING UP THE APPLIANCE
Please note!
• The rst time you use the machine, the water circuit is
empty and the appliance could be very noisy. The noise
becomes less as the circuit lls.
• Coee has been used to factory test the appliance and it is
therefore completely normal for there to be traces of coee
in the mill.The machine is, however, guaranteed new.
• You should customise water hardness as soon as possible
following the instructions in section "14. Setting water
hardness".
1. Connect the appliance to the mains supply (g. 1).

4. Make sure the hot water spout (D6) is attached to the con-
nection nozzle (A8) (g. 5) and place a container with a
minimum capacity of 200 ml under the coee spouts (A9)
and hot water spout (g. 6);
5. Press to conrm. The appliance delivers
water from the spout automatically.
6. At the end of delivery, the appliance proceeds with heating
by performing a rinse cycle, delivering hot water from the
coee spouts.
The coee machine is now ready for normal use.
Please note!
• The rst time you use the appliance, you need to make 4
- 5 cappuccinos before it starts to give satisfactory results.
• When making the rst 4 - 5 cappuccinos, it is normal to
hear the noise of boiling water. After this, the noise be-
comes less.
• To improve the performance of your appliance, we recom-
mend installing a water softener lter (D6) as described
in section "15. Water softener lter". If your model is not
provided with a lter, you can request one from De'Longhi
customer services.

7.5 Adjusting the coee mill
The coee mill is set by default to prepare coee correctly and
should not require regulating initially.
However, if after making the rst few coees you nd that the
coee is either too weak and not creamy enough or delivery is
too slow (a drop at a time), this can be corrected by adjusting
the grinding adjustment dial (A5) (g. 12).

10
12
13
Please note!
The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned when the
coee mill is in operation during the initial phase of coee
preparation.
If the coee is delivered too slowly or not
at all, turn one click clockwise towards 7.
For fuller bodied creamier coee, turn
one click anticlockwise towards 1 (do
not turn more than one click at a time
otherwise the coee could be delivered
a drop at a time).
The eect of the adjustment will be noticed only after making
a further 2 cups of coee, at least. If this adjustment does not
produce the desired result, turn the dial another click.
7.6 Tips for a hotter coee

• Do not use metal objects to remove encrustations or coee
deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces.
12.2 Cleaning the internal circuit
If the appliance is not used for more than 3/4 days, before using
it again, we strongly recommend switching it on and:
• performing 2/3 rinse cycles by selecting the "Rinse" func-
tion (section "6.3 Rinse ");
• delivering hot water for a few seconds (section "10. Deliv-
ering hot water").
Please note!
After cleaning, it is normal for the grounds container (A11) to
contain water.
12.3 Cleaning the coee grounds container
When "EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER" appears on the display,
the grounds container must be emptied and cleaned. The ap-
pliance cannot be used to make coee again until the grounds
container (A11) has been cleaned. Even if not full, the empty
grounds container message is displayed 72 hours after the rst
coee has been prepared. For the 72 hours to be calculated cor-
rectly, the machine must never be disconnected from the mains
power supply.
Important! Danger of scalding
If you make a number of milk-based beverages one after the
other, the metal cup tray (A12) becomes hot. Wait for it to cool
down before touching it and handle it from the front only.
