ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
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 exible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug having a fuse of 13 amp capacity.
Should this plug not t the socket outlets in your home, it should be cut o 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 nd 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 o when the machine is not in use.
IMPORTANT: the wires in the mains lead tted 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 qualied
electrician.
Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be carried out by a qualied electrician and should
only be replaced with a exible cord of the same size.
After replacement of a fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be retted. 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 tted.
This appliance conforms to the Norms EN 55014 regarding the suppression of radio interference.
Warning - this appliance must be earthed

MAKING COFFEE
Please note!
A few seconds may elapse between energy saving mode and
delivery of the rst coee.
Selecting the coee taste
The appliance is set by default to make coee with a standard
taste.
You can also choose one of these tastes:
Extra-mild taste
Mild taste
Standard taste
Strong taste
Extra-strong taste
To change the taste, press the button (g. 2)
repeatedly until the required taste is displayed.
Selecting the quantity of coee in the cup
The appliance is set by default to automatically make the
following quantities of coee:
- short coee when the button is pressed;
- long coee when the button is pressed;
- two short coees when the button is pressed;
- two long coees when the button is pressed.

13
Customising the quantity
To change the quantity of coee the appliance delivers
automatically into the cup, proceed as dPribed below.
- press for a few seconds, then release the the (short
coee) or (long coee) button, until the message
“PROGRAM QUANTITY” is displayed and coee delivery
commences;
- whenthe coeein the cupreachestherequiredlevel,press
the same button again to memorise the new amount.This
is conrmed by two beeps.
The appliance is now reprogrammed with the new settings and
the message“READY”is displayed.
Please note:
You can customise one cup coee only: the double quantity is
automatically updated.
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
delivery is either too fast or too slow (a drop at a time), this
can be corrected by adjusting the grinding adjustment knob
(g. 10).
Please note!
The grinding adjustment knob must only be turned when the
coee mill is in operation.
For faster delivery (not a drop
at a time), turn one click
clockwise towards “7” (coarser
ground coee).
For fuller bodied creamier
coee, turn one click
anticlockwise towards “1”
(ner ground coee).
These adjustments will only be
evident after at least 2 cups of coee have been delivered.
If delivery is still too fast or too slow, repeat the correction,
turning the knob another click.
Tips for a hotter coee
For a hotter coee, you are recommended to:

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 with coee beans (g. 8).
2. Place under the coee spouts:
- 1 cup, if you want to make 1 coee (g. 9);
- 2 cups, if you want 2 coees (g. 10);
3. Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup. This makes
a creamier coee (g. 11).
4. Press the button corresponding to the number of coees
required.
5. Preparation begins.
Once the coee has been made, the appliance prepares for use

WATER SOFTENER FILTER
Certain models are tted with a water softener lter. If this
is not the case with your model, you are recommended to
purchase one from De’Longhi Customer Services. To use the
lter correctly, follow the instructions below.
Installing the lter
1. Remove the lter from the packaging.
2. Turn the date indicator disk until the next two months of
use are displayed. (g. 35).
Nota Bene
The lter lasts about two months if the appliance is used
normally. If the coee machine is left unused with the lter
installed, it will last a maximum of three weeks.
3. To activate the lter, let tap water go in the hole of the
lter as shown in the gure as long as the water comes
out from the side openings for over one minute (g. 36).
