BEFORE USE
Checking the appliance
After removing the packaging, make sure the product is com-
plete 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
Important!
When you install the appliance, you should respect the follow-
ing safety warnings:
• The appliance gives o heat. After positioning the appli-
ance on the worktop, leave a space of at least 3 cm be-
tween the surfaces of the appliance and the side and rear
walls and at least 15 cm above the coee machine.
• Water penetrating the coee machine could cause dam-
age. 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 power cord (C8) in such a way that it cannot be
damaged by sharp edges or contact with hot surfaces (e.g.
electric hot plates).
Connecting the appliance
Important!
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 eciently earthed and correctly
installed socket with a minimum current rating of 10A only.

10
If the power socket does not match the plug on the appliance,
have the socket replaced with a suitable type by a qualied
professional.
Setting up the appliance
Please note!
• Coee has been used to factory test the appliance and it is
therefore completely normal for there to be traces of cof-
fee 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 20.
1. Insert the power cord (C8) connector into the socket at the
back of the appliance (A19) and connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply (g. 1). Make sure the main
switch (A20) at the back of the appliance is pressed (g. 2).
2. Remove the water tank (A16- g. 3), open the lid (A18- g.
4), ll to the MAX line with fresh water (g. 5); replace the
lid and put the tank back in the appliance.
You must rst choose the language by moving backwards and
forwards with the < (B4) or > (B8) (g. 9) button, or waiting
until the languages scroll through on the display (B13) at inter-
vals of about 3 seconds:
3. When “English”appears, press the button (B7- g. 6)
for a few seconds until“English set”is displayed.
Follow the instructions indicated on the appliance display:
4. “INSERTWATER SPOUT”: Check that the hot water spout (C6)
is inserted on the connection nozzle (A8) and place a con-
tainer holding a minimum of 100 ml underneath (g. 7).
5. “HOTWATER Press OK”is displayed;
6. Press the button to conrm (g. 6). The appliance de-
livers water from the spout then goes o automatically.
The coee machine is now ready for normal use.
Please note!
• When setting up the appliance, you need to make 4-5 cups
of coee or 4-5 cappuccinos before the appliance starts to
give satisfactory results.
• When making the rst 5-6 cappuccinos, it is normal to hear
the noise of boiling water. After this, the noise becomes
less.
• To enjoy your coee even more and improve the perfor-
mance of your appliance, we recommend installing a water
softener lter (C4) as described in the section“WATER SOF-
TENER FILTER” (page 21). If your model is not provided
with a lter, you can request one from De’Longhi Customer
Services.
TURNING THE APPLIANCE ON
Please note!
Before turning the appliance on, make sure the main switch
(A20) is pressed (g. 2).
Each time the appliance is turned on, it performs an automatic
preheat and rinse cycle which cannot be interrupted. The appli-
ance is ready for use only after completion of this cycle.
Danger of burns!
During rinsing, a little hot water comes out of the coee spouts
(A7) and is collected in the drip tray (A12) underneath. Avoid
contact with splashes of water.
• To turn the appliance on, press the button (B1- g.
8). The message“Heating up, Please wait”is displayed.
When heating is complete, the message changes to “RINSING”.
As well as heating the boiler, this also heats the internal circuits
by circulating hot water.
The appliance is at temperature when the message indicating
the taste and quantity of coee appears.
TURNING THE APPLIANCE OFF
Whenever the coee machine is turned o after being used to
make coee, it performs an automatic rinse cycle.
Danger of burns!
During rinsing, a little hot water ows from the coee spouts
(A7). Avoid contact with splashes of water.
• To turn the appliance o, press the button (B1- g.
8).
• The message “Turning o Please wait” is displayed, then
the appliance performs a rinse cycle and goes o (standby).

1. Place a cup under the coee spouts (A7- g. 13);
2. Press the button (B5- g.12) until “MY COFFEE”
is displayed;
3. Keep the button (B11- g. 17) pressed until the mes-
sage “1 MY COFFEE Program quantity” is displayed and
coee delivery begins. Release the button;
4. As soon as the coee in the cup reaches the required level,
press the icon again.
The quantity of coee in the cup has now been programmed.
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 (g. 14).
Please note!
The grinding adjustment dial (A5) must only be turned when
the coee mill is in operation.
If the coee is delivered too slowly or
not at all, turn one click clockwise to-
wards“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).
These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of
coee have been delivered. If this adjustment does not obtain
the desired result, turn the dial another click.
Tips for a hotter coee
For hotter coee, you should:
• perform a rinse cycle by selecting the“Rinsing”function in
the settings menu (page 10).
• warm the cups with hot water using the hot water function
(page 16);
• increase the coee temperature in the settings menu
(page 12).
Making coee using coee beans
Important!
Do not use caramelised or candied coee beans as they could
stick to the coee mill and make it unusable.
1. Fill the container (A3) with coee beans (g. 15);
2. Place under the coee spouts (A7):
- 1 cup, if you want to make 1 coee (g. 13);
- 2 cups, if you want 2 coees (g. 16);
3. Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup (g. 16).
This makes a creamier coee;
4. Press the button corresponding to the number of coees
required (one cup -B11 or two cups -B10);
5. Preparation begins. The amount of coee selected is dis-
played together with a progress bar which gradually lls as
preparation progresses.
Please note:
• While the machine is making coee, delivery can be inter-
rupted at any moment by pressing any button.
• At the end of delivery, to increase the quantity of coee in
the cup, just press (within 3 seconds) one of the coee but-
tons ( or ) (g. 17).
Once the coee has been made, the appliance is ready to make
the next drink.

the machine (FILL TANK, EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER,

14
etc.). Their meaning is explained in the section “Displayed
messages”(page 23).
• For hotter coee, see the section “Tips for a hotter coee”
(page 13).
• If the coee is delivered a drop at a time, too weak and not
creamy enough or too cold, read the tips in the “Trouble-
shooting”section (page 25).
Making coee using pre-ground coee
Important!
• Never add pre-ground coee when the machine is o 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 (C2) or it could dirty
the inside of the coee machine or block the funnel (A4).
Please note!
