INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
Important!
When you install the appliance, you should respect the fol-
lowing safety warnings:
• Water penetrating the coee 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 tem-
perature could drop below freezing point.

12
• Arrange the cord in such a way that it cannot be dam-
aged by sharp edges or contact with hot surfaces (e.g.
electric hot plates).
• The appliance gives o heat. After positioning the ap-
pliance 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 machine.
Connecting the appliance
Danger!
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. 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.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
1. Take out the tank by pulling upwards (g. 1).
2. Fill the tank with fresh clean water, taking care not to
exceed the MAX level indicated (g. 2). Replace the tank
(g. 3), pressing lightly to open the valve located on the
bottom of the tank.
3. More simply, the tank can also be lled without remov-
ing it, pouring the water directly from a jug.
Important:
Never operate the appliance without water in the tank or
without the tank.
Please note:
It is normal for there to be water in the space under the tank.
This should therefore be dried regularly with a clean sponge.
SETTING UP THE APPLIANCE

To make espresso coee at the right temperature, the coee
maker should be preheated as follows:
1. Turn the appliance on by pressing the ON/OFF button
(the ON light comes on) (g. 4) and attach the lter
holder onto the appliance without adding pre-ground
coee (g. 6).
2. Place a cup under the lter holder. Use the same cup to
be used later to prepare the coee, in order to preheat it.
3. Wait until the OK light comes on (g. 8) and immedi-
ately afterwards turn the selector dial to the po-
sition (g. 14) and let water discharge until the OK light
turns o, then interrupt by turning the dial to the
position.
4. Empty the cup, wait until the OK light comes on again
and then repeat the same operation.
(It is normal for a small and harmless pu of steam to be
given o when removing the lter holder).
HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PRE
GROUND COFFEE
1. Place the ground coee lter in the lter holder (g.
5). To make one coee, use the lter with the
symbol on the bottom, to make two coees, use the
lter with the symbol on the bottom.
2. To make just one coee, place one level measure of pre-
ground coee (about 7 g) in the lter (g. 11). To make
two coees, place two loosely lled measures (about
6+6 g) of pre-ground coee in the lter. Fill the lter
a little at a time to prevent the pre-ground coee from
overowing.
Important: For correct operation, before lling with pre-ground coee,
make sure there are no coee residues left in the lter from the last time you made
coee.
3. Distribute the pre-ground coee evenly and press light-
ly with the presser (g. 12). Correct pressing of the pre-
ground coee is essential to obtain a good espresso. If
pressing is excessive, coee delivery will be slow and
the froth will be dark. If pressing is too light, coee de-
livery will be too rapid and the froth will be skimpy and
light coloured.
4. Remove any excess coee from the rim of the lter hold-
er and attach to the appliance. Turn the handle rmly
towards the right (g. 6) to avoid water leaking out.
5. Place the cup or cups under the lter holder spouts (g.
13). You are recommended to warm the cups before
making coee by rinsing them with a little hot water.
6. Make sure the OK light (g. 8) is on (if o, wait until it
comes on), then turn the selector to the (g. 13).
position (g. 13). When the desired amount of coee
has been delivered, turn the selector to the to
interrupt the ow.
You should not deliver coee for more
than 45 seconds.
7. To remove the lter holder, rotate the handle from right
to left.

ing the size of the recipient, bear in mind that the milk
doubles or triples in volume (g. 17).
Please note: You are recommended to use semi-skimmed milk and at
refrigerator temperature.
4. Place the recipient containing the milk under the cap-
puccino maker.
5. Wait until the OK light comes on. This indicates that
the boiler has reached the ideal temperature for steam
production.
6. Open the steam turning counter-clockwise the steam
dial for a few seconds to eliminate any water in the cir-
cuit. Close the steam.
7. Immerse the cappuccino maker in the milk about 5 mm
(g. 18) and turn the steam dial anti-clockwise (rotat-
ing the dial more or less varies the quantity of steam
delivered by the cappuccino maker).The milk now starts
to increase in volume and take on a creamy appearance.
8. When the milk has doubled in volume, immerse the
cappuccino maker deeply and continue heating the
milk. When the required temperature is reached (60°C
is ideal), interrupt steam delivery by turning the steam
dial clockwise and turn the selector to the position
(g. 19).
9. Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the es-
presso coee prepared previously. The cappuccino is
ready. Sweeten to taste and if desired, sprinkle the froth
with a little cocoa powder.
Please note:
• To prepare more than one cappuccino, rst make all the coees then at the
end prepare the frothed milk for all the cappuccinos.
• To make coee again after the milk has been frothed, rst cool the boiler, or
the coee will be burnt. To cool it place a container under the boiler outlet,
turn the selector to the position and discharge water until the OK
light goes o. Return the selector to the position and then proceed
to make coee.

• Make sure the appliance is not hot and that it is un-
plugged from the mains;
• Using a screwdriver, unscrew the screw xing the es-
presso boiler outlet (g. 25);
• Remove the boiler outlet;
• Clean the boiler with a damp cloth (g. 25);
• Clean the outlet thoroughly in hot water using a brush.
Make sure the holes are not blocked. If necessary, clean
with a pin.
• Rinse under running water, rubbing all the time.
• Replace the boiler outlet, making sure the gasket is cor-
rectly positioned.
Failure to clean as described above invalidates the guarantee.
Other cleaning operations
1. Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents to clean the
coee machine. Use a soft damp cloth only.
2. Clean the lter holder cup, lters, drip tray and water
tank regularly. To empty the drip tray, remove the cup
tray grille, remove the water and clean the tray with a
cloth: then reassemble the drip tray. Clean the water
tank, using a soft brush to reach the bottom.
Danger! While cleaning, never immerse the coee
maker in water. It is an electrical appliance.
DESCALING
You are recommended to descale the coee maker about
every 200 coees. You should use commercially available
De’Longhi descaler. Proceed as follows:
1. Fill the tank with the descaler solution obtained by
diluting the descaler with water following the instruc-
tions on the pack.
2. Press the ON/OFF button.
3. Make sure the lter holder is not attached and position
a recipient under the cappuccino maker.
4. Wait until the OK light comes on.
5. Turn the selector to the position and deliver
about 1/4 of the solution in the tank: from time to time
open the steam dial to discharge steam. Then interrupt
delivery by turning the selector to the position
and leave the solution to work for about 5 minutes.
6. Repeat point 5 another 3 times, until the tank is empty.
7. To eliminate residues of descaler solution, rinse the tank
well and ll it with clean water (without descaler).
8. Turn the selector to the position and deliver water
until the tank is empty.
9. Repeat points 7 and 8.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS UK ONLY
Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage indicated on the product corresponds with the main voltage
in your home, if you are in any doubt about your supply contact your local electricity company.
The flexible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug having a fuse of 13 amp capacity.
Should this plug not fit the socket outlets in your home, it should be cut off and replaced with a suitable plug,
following the procedure outlined below.
Note: Such a plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be properly disposed of and
not left where children might find it and plug it into a supply socket - with the obvious consequent danger.
N.B. We recommend the use of good quality plugs and wall sockets that can be switched off when the machine
is not in use.
IMPORTANT: the wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following
code:
GREEN AND YELLOW EARTH
BLUE NEUTRAL
BROWN LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
- The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the
earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.
- The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
- The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely retained in each terminal. Do not forget to
tighten the mains lead clamp on the plug. If your electricity supply point has only two pin socket outlets, or if
you are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be carried out by a qualified
electrician and should only be replaced with a flexible cord of the same size.
After replacement of a fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must
not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that
of the coloured insert in the base of the fuse recess or elsewhere on the plug. Always state this colour when
ordering a replacement fuse cover.
Only 13amp replacement fuses which are asta approved to B.S. 1362 should be fitted.
This appliance conforms to the Norms EN 55014 regarding the suppression of radio interference.
Warning - this appliance must be earthed
