1.1 Short cord instructions
- A short power cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord.
- Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exer-
cised in their use.
- If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance. If the appliance is provided with 3- wire, grounding type cord, the extension should be
a GROUNDING TYPE 3 - WIRE CORD. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
counter-top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
- Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider
than the other). This plug will t into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to t,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug.

4. PRELIMINARY CHECKS
4.1 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.
4.2 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 1.18 in/ 3
cm between the surfaces of the appliance and the side and
rear walls and at least 6 in/ 15 cm above the coee maker.
• Water penetrating the appliance 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
temperature could drop below freezing point.
• Arrange the power cable in such a way that it cannot be
damaged by sharp edges or contact with hot surfaces (e.g.
electric hot plates).
4.3 Connecting the appliance
Important!
Check that the mains power supply voltage corresponds to
the value indicated on the rating plate on the bottom of the
appliance.
Connect the appliance to an eciently 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 qualied
professional.
4.4 Using the appliance for the rst time
Please note :
• Coee has been used to factory test the appliance and it is
therefore completely normal for there to be traces of coee
in the mill.
The machine is, however, guaranteed to be new.
• To avoid malfunctions, never ll with ground coee,
freeze-dried coee or caramelized beans, or other objects
that may damage the machine.
• You should customise water hardness as soon as possible
following the instructions in the section “15. SETTING
WATER HARDNESS” .
1. Remove the water tank (Fig.1), rinse it and ll it with fresh
water, never exceeding the MAX line. When removing the
tank, the milk frother must always be positioned towards
the center of the machine, otherwise the tank cannot be
removed. Replace the tank, pushing it all the way in.
2. Open the lid on the coee bean container (Fig.2). Fill the
container with coee beans. Close the lid.
3. Plug the appliance into the mains socket.
4. Move the milk frother towards the outside and place a cup
underneath (Fig.3). Then turn the machine on by pressing
the button (Fig.4).
5. IMMEDIATELY AFTER, WITHIN A MAXIMUM OF 30 SECONDS,
turn the steam knob counter-clockwise until it stops (Fig.5)
(it is normal for the machine to make some noise).
6. Wait for the and lights to stop ashing. The
ashing lights indicate the machine is preheating. Before
the lights stop ashing the machine will automatically
perform a rinse cycle and a little hot water will release
from the coee spouts and collect in the drip tray. Once
the lights illuminate steadily, the machine has reached the
ideal temperature for making coee.
10
Tip: for a hotter short coee (less than 2 oz.); rst ll the
cup with the hot rinsing water. Then leave it inside for a
few seconds (before emptying it) so as to pre-heat the cup.
At this point, the machine is ready for use.
Please note :
• When using the appliance for the rst time, you need to
make 4-5 cups of coee or 4-5 cappuccinos before the ap-
pliance starts to give satisfactory results.
5. MAKING COFFEE (USING COFFEE BEANS)
1) Before preparing the coee, always make sure that the
green and lights are steady and the water
tank and coee bean container are full.
2) Adjust the coee avor dial (Fig. 7) to set the desired taste
of the coee. Turning the knob clockwise increases the
quantity of coee beans that the machine will grind, and
thus makes the taste of the coee stronger. When using
the machine for the rst time, the correct position of the
knob can be found by trial and error. Make sure not to turn
it too far clockwise, otherwise the coee will be delivered
too slowly (in drips), in particular when preparing two
cups of coee.
3) Adjust the coee quantity selector dial (Fig. 8) to set the
quantity of coee required. Turning the knob clockwise
makes a longer coee. When using the machine for the
rst time, the correct position of the knob can be found by
trial and error.
4) Place one cup under the coee spout to make 1 coee (Fig.
9) or 2 cups for 2 coees (Fig. 10). For a creamy coee,
lower the coee spout to bring them as close to the cups
as possible (Fig. 11).
5) Press the button (Fig. 12) to make one cup of coee or
the button (Fig. 13) to make 2 coees. At this point
the machine grinds the beans, runs a short pre-infusion
cycle, a pause and then completes the delivery. Once the
desired quantity has been reached, the machine auto-
matically stops delivering the coee and discharges the
grounds into the coee grounds container.
6) After a few seconds, when both the green and
indicator lights are steady, another coee can be made.
7) To switch the machine o, press the button. (Before
switching o, the machine automatically runs a rinse cycle:
a little hot water runs out of the spout and is collected in
the drip tray underneath - be careful, to avoid scalds ). If
the machine is not switched o using the button, it
will switch itself o and run a brief rinse cycle 3 hours after
the last operation.
NOTE 1: If the coee is delivered a drop at a time or not at all,
turn the grinding coarseness regulator (g. 17) one click
clockwise (see section 6). Turn a click at a time until the
coee is delivered satisfactorily.
NOTE 2: If the coee is delivered too fast and is not creamy
enough, turn the coee avor dial (g. 7) clockwise.
Proceed by trial and error to nd the correct position of
the dial. Make sure not to turn the dial too far clockwise,
otherwise the delivery may become too slow (in drops),
in particular when making two cups of coee. If, after
several coees, the cream is still not satisfactory, also turn
the grinding coarseness regulator (Fig. 17) one click count-
er-clockwise (see section 6).
NOTE 3: Tips on making hotter coee:
1)
If, when the machine has just been turned on, a short cup
of coee is required (less than 2 oz), use the hot rinsing
water to pre-heat the cups (see suggestion in section 4.3,
point 5). If, on the other hand, more than 2-3 minutes have
elapsed since the last coee was made, before preparing
another coee the infuser must be pre-heated, pressing the
button (Fig. 14). Run o the water into the underlying drip
tray or alternatively use this water to ll (and then empty)
the cup to be used for the coee, so as to pre-heat it.
2) Unless preheated, do not use cups that are too thick, as
they will absorb too much heat.
3) Use cups that have been previously heated by rinsing them
with hot water or alternatively by leaving them for at least
20 minutes on the cup warmer tray on top of the machine
with the appliance on.
NOTE 4: while the machine is making the coee, the delivery
can be stopped at any time by pressing the button (Fig.
12) or button (Fig. 13), as previously selected.
NOTE 5: as soon as delivery is complete, to increase the quantity
of coee, simply press and hold the button (Fig. 12) or
button (Fig. 13), as previously selected, until the
desired quantity is reached (this operation must be per-
formed within 3 seconds from when coee delivery from
the spouts ceases).
NOTE 6: when the indicator light comes on (section 12,
point 1), the water tank must be lled, otherwise the cof-
fee cannot be made. The water tank can only be removed if
the milk frother is rst positioned towards the center of the
machine. (It is normal for there to be a little water left in
the tank when the indicator light comes on).
NOTE 7: the machine counts the number of cups of coee made.
Each 14 single cups (or 7 double cups), the light switch-
es on steady (section 12 point 3), warning the user that the
grounds container is full and must be emptied and cleaned.
Until the grounds container has been cleaned, the light will
remain on and the machine cannot deliver coee. To clean
11
the container, open the service door on the front (pulling
the handle, Fig. 15), the light ashes (see section 12,
point 9); remove the drip tray (Fig. 16), empty and clean.
Empty and carefully clean the grounds container, making
sure to remove all the residue that may be deposited on
the bottom. Also, dry o any condensation that may have
formed that may have formed inside the machine under
the drip tray. IMPORTANT: when removing the drip tray,
the grounds container MUST be emptied, even if it is not
completely full. If this is not done, when making your next
coee, the grounds the grounds container may ll over the
maximum level and block the machine.
NOTE 8: the grinder in the coee maker may become worn over
time and consequently the coee will change taste as it is
ground more coarsely. To resolve this problem, re-set the
grinding coarseness by adjusting the regulator (Fig. 17)
one click counter-clockwise (as described in chap. 6).
NOTE 9: if the machine is not used for a long period, the infuser
must be cleaned, as described in section 10.2.
NOTE 10: while the machine is delivering coee, never remove
the water tank. If it is removed, the machine will not be
able to make the coee and the “ “ indicator light will ash.
If you try to make another coee, the machine becomes
noisy and does not make the coee. To reset the machine,
turn the steam knob counterclockwise as far as it will go
and run o water from the milk frother for a few seconds.
6. ADJUSTING THE COFFEE GRINDER
The coee grinder must not be adjusted, at least initially, as it
has already been factory preset to deliver the correct quantities
of coee.
Nonetheless, after having made the rst coees, if delivery is
too fast or too slow (in drips), the grinding coarseness regulator
can be adjusted (Fig. 17). Turning one click (one number) clock-
wise achieves faster delivery of the coee (without drips).
Turning one click counter-clockwise slows down delivery giving
a creamier appearance to the coee.
These adjustments will only be evident after the delivery of at
least 2 cups of coee.
The grinding coarseness regulator must only be turned when
the coee grinder is running.
Turn counter-clockwise for ner ground coee
and consequently slower delivery and a cream-
ier appearance.
Turn clockwise for coarser ground coee and
consequently faster delivery (not a drop at a
time).
NOTE 1: Coee has been used to factory test the appliance and
it is , therefore, com- pletely normal for there to be traces of cof-
fee in the grinder (mill). This appliance is, how- ever, guaranteed
to be new.
7. PREPARING ESPRESSO COFFEE WITH GROUND
COFFEE (INSTEAD OF BEANS)
1. Press the button to select the ground coee func-
tion (Fig. 18). The ground coee light will illuminate indi-
cating the function has been the function has been select-
ed and the coee grinder has been disabled.
2. Lift the lid in the center, place one measuring scoop of
ground coee in the funnel (see g. 19) and proceed as
described in section 5.
Note: You can make just one coee at a time by pressing the
button.
NOTE 1: Never add the ground coee when the
machine is o, to prevent it from spilling inside
the machine.
NOTE 2: Never add more than 1 measure, otherwise either the
machine will not make the coee and the pre-ground coee will
be lost inside the machine, dirtying it, or the coee will be run
o in drips.
NOTE 3: When measuring the quantity of coee to be added,
use the measuring scoop supplied only.
NOTE 4: Only use ground coee for espresso espresso coee
makers. Do not use not use coee beans, freeze-dried coee or
other materials that may damage the machine.
NOTE 5: If you add more than one measure of pre-ground cof-
fee and the funnel blocks, use a plastic knife to push the coee
down (Fig. 20), then remove and clean the infuser and the ma-
chine, as described in section 10.2 “Cleaning the infuser”.
3. Once the coee has been delivered, to make coee using
the beans again, deactivate the ground coee function by
pressing the button again (the light goes o and
the coee grinder is enabled for operation again).
8. HOT WATER DELIVERY
• Always make sure the green and lights are on
steady.
• Turn the cappuccino frother towards the outside of the ma-
chine (Fig. 3).
• Position a container underneath the milk frother (Fig. 3).
• Press the button (g. 21). The light comes on to indi-
cate that the function has been selected.
• Turn the steam knob half a turn in counter-clockwise until
it stops (Fig. 5): hot water will come out of the milk frother
and start to ll the container underneath.
• To stop the ow of hot water, turn the knob all the way
clockwise (Fig. 6) and return the cappuccino frother to the
original position towards the center of the machine.
12
• Press the button (g. 21). (It is recommended to deliver
hot water for no more than 2 minutes).
9. PREPARING CAPPUCCINOS (USING STEAM)
• Move the cappuccino frother outwards (g. 6).
• Place an empty container under the cappuccino frother
(g. 3). Turn the steam knob a half turn counter-clockwise
as far as it will go (the light ashes g. 22). Run o the
steam mixed with water for a few seconds until only steam
is given o.
• Then interrupt steam delivery by rotating the knob clock-
wise as far as it will go (g. 6).
• Empty the container and ll it with about 3.5 oz. of milk for
each cappuccino to be prepared. In choosing the size of the
container, bear in mind that the milk increases in volume
by 2 or 3 times. You are recommended to use skim or 2%
milk at refrigerator tempera- ture (about 41°F/5°C).
• Dip the cappuccino frother into the into the container with
milk (g. 23), taking care not to immerse the raised line on
the cappuccino frother (indicated by the arrow in g. 24).
Turn the steam knob a half turn counter-clockwise as far as
it will go (take care to avoid scalds). Steam is discharged
from the cappuccino maker, giving the milk a creamy
frothy appearance. To obtain a creamier froth, dip the cap-
puccino frother into the milk and rotate the container with
slow movements from the bottom upwards. (You should
not dis- charge steam for more than two minutes at a
time).
• Once the desired temperature has been reached, stop the
steam by turning the steam knob clockwise until it stops
(Fig. 6).
• Prepare the coee .as described in section 5, using large
enough cups, then ll with the frothed milk prepared pre-
viously. The cap- puccino is ready. Sweeten to taste and if
desired, sprinkle the froth with a little cocoa powder.
NOTE 1: The cappuccino frother must always be cleaned
after use. Proceed as follows:
• Release a little steam for a few seconds by turning the
steam knob counter-clockwise until it stops (Fig. 5).
With this operation, the steam spout discharges any milk
that may be left inside. IMPORTANT: For hygiene reasons,
this operation should always be performed, so as to pre-
vent previously used milk from remaining inside the cap-
puccino frother.
• Turn the knob clockwise as far as it will go. With one hand,
hold the cappuccino frother handle rm and with the other
unscrew the cap- puccino frother cover itself by rotating
clockwise and extracting downwards (g. 25).
• Remove the steam nozzle from the delivery spout by pull-
ing it downwards (Fig. 26).
• Carefully wash the cappuccino frother and the steam noz-
zle in warm water.
• Check that the two holes indicated by the arrows in Fig. 27
are not clogged. If necessary, clean them using a needle or
pin.
• Replace the steam nozzle by inserting it and vigorously
turning it upwards into the steam spout.
• Replace the cappuccino frother cover by pushing it up-
wards and turning it counter-clockwise.
10. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Before performing any cleaning operations, the machine
must have cooled down and must be disconnected from
the mains power sup- ply.
• Never immerse the machine in the water: it is an electrical
appli- ance.
• Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents to clean the cof-
fee maker. A soft damp cloth will suce.
• The infuser, grounds container, water tank and drip tray
must NEVER be washed in the dishwasher.
10.1 Cleaning the coee maker
• Clean the grounds container (as described in section 5,
note 7) whenever the light comes on steady (section
12 - point 3).
• The water tank should be cleaned regularly.
• The drip tray is tted with a level indicator (red) showing
the level of water inside. When the indicator starts to be-
come visible (a few mil- limeters under the drip tray), the
drip tray must be emptied and cleaned.
• Check that the holes in the coee delivery spout are not
blocked. To clean them, scrape the dry coee residues with
a needle (Fig. 28).
10.2 Cleaning the infuser
The infuser must be cleaned regularly to prevent it from lling
with coee deposits (that may lead to malfunctions). To clean it,
proceed as follows:
• turn the machine o by pressing the button (Fig. 4) (do
not unplug it) and wait for all the indicator lights to go o;
• open the service door (Fig. 15);
• remove the drip tray and the grounds container (Fig. 16)
and clean them;
• press the two red release buttons on the infuser sideways
and towards the center (Fig. 29) and pull it out;
WARNING: THE INFUSER CAN ONLY BE REMOVED WHEN
THE MACHINE IS OFF. ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE THE
INFUSER WITH THE MACHINE ON MAY CAUSE SERIOUS
DAMAGE.
13
• wash the infuser under running water, without using
detergents.
Never wash the infuser in the dishwasher;
• carefully clean the inside of the machine. To remove the
coee stuck to the parts inside the machine, scrape it with
a plastic or wooden fork (Fig. 30) and then pick up all the
residues using a vacuum cleaner (Fig. 31);
• Replace the infuser by sliding it onto the supports and the
pin at the bottom; then push the PUSH symbol fully in
until until it clicks into place.
Check that the two red buttons have snapped out, other-
wise the door can- not be closed.
CORRECT INCORRECT
The two red buttons have
snapped out CORRECTLY
The two red buttons have NOT
snapped out
NOTE 1: If the infuser is not inserted correctly, until it clicks into
place, and the two red buttons have not snapped out, the ser-
vice door will not close and the machine will not operate (when
switch- ing on the machine the light starts ashing (section 12
- point 9).
NOTE 2: if it is hard to insert the infuser, (before inserting it)
squeeze it into size by pressing it vigorously from above and
below at the same time, as shown in Figure 32.
NOTE 3: if it is still hard to insert the infuser, leave it out of the
machine, close the service door, unplug from the outlet then
plug in again. Wait for all the lights to go o, then open the door
and replace the infuser.
• replace the drip tray, complete with the grounds container;
• close the service door.
10.3 DESCALING
Due to the continuous heating of the water used to make the
coee, over time it is normal for the tubing inside the machine
to ll with lime scale. When the light starts ashing
(section 12 - point 5), it is time to descale the machine.
NOTE: when the light switches on, the coee maker can
still be used to prepare coee. Proceed as follows:
• Pour the descaler diluted with water (respecting the pro-
portions indicated on the descaler pack) into the water
tank.
Note: Make sure splashes of descaler do not fall onto surfaces
sensitive to acid such as marble, limestone and granite.
• place a container with a minimum capacity of 34 oz. under
the cappuccino frother (Fig. 3);
• turn the machine on by pressing the button (Fig. 4).
• wait for the green and indicator lights to come
on steady.
• press and hold the button for at least 5 seconds (Fig.14).
The decalcication warning light will illuminate (section
11 - point 8) to indicated the start of the descaling program
(the and lights remain o to indicate that it is
not possible to make coee).
• turn the steam knob half a turn counter-clockwise (Fig.5).
The descaling solution will come out of the cappuccino
frother and start to ll the container underneath.
• the descaling program automatically performs a series of
deliver ies and pauses, so as to remove the lime scale de-
posits from inside the coee maker.
• after around 30 minutes, when the light comes on (sec-
tion 12 - point 1), turn the steam knob half a turn clockwise
(Fig.6) until it stops.
The machine must be rinsed so as to eliminate the residues of
descaling solution from inside the machine. Proceed as follows:
• remove the water tank, rinse it and ll it with clean water.
• reposition the tank.
• empty the collection container (located under the milk fro-
ther) that is full of liquid, and then replace it under the milk
frother.
• turn the steam knob half a turn counter-clockwise (Fig.
5). Hot water will come out of the milk frother and ll the
container underneath.
• when the tank is empty, the light goes o and the
light comes on (section 12 - point 1).
Infuser
After having heard
the click, check that
the red buttons have
change opened to
snapped out.
Bottom pipe on the infuser. The
pin must be inserted into the bot-
tom pipe on the infuser.
PinSupport
Puh the PUSH symbol
fully in until it clicks
into place
14
• turn the steam knob all the way clockwise (Fig. 6) and ll
the water tank with clean water again.
• the program of descaling is now terminated and the ma-
chine is ready to make coee again.
NOTE: if the descaling procedure is interrupted before comple-
tion, the alarm (section 12 - point 5) is not deactivated and
the pro- cedure must be started again form the beginning.
IMPORTANT: FAILURE TO DESCALE THE APPLIANCE REGU-
LARLY INVALIDATES THE WARRANTY.
10.4 SETTING WATER HARDNESS
The light (section 12 - point 5) switches on after after
the machine has been operated for a factory set period of time
calculated on the basis of the maximum quantity of lime scale
which may be contained in the water used. If necessary, this
period of operation can be extended, thus making the descaling
operation less frequent, by programming the machine based on
the actual lime content in the water used. Proceed as follows:
• after having removed the “Total hardness test” strip (enclo-
sed on page 2) from its packaging, dip it fully in the water
for a few seconds, then pull it out and wait around 30 se-
conds (until it changes color anda number of squares are
formed);
• check that the machine is o (all the indicator lights are
o);
• press the button (Fig. 14) and hold it for at least 5
seconds. The four lights , , and come on.
• press the button (Fig.18) repeatedly until the num-
ber of lights that are on coincides with the number of red

squares on the test strip, press the button until 3
indicator lights come on together , , and ).
• press the button (Fig. 14) to save the data. The
coee maker is now programmed to provide the descaling
warning when eectively necessary, based on the actual
hardness of the water.

13. PROBLEMS THAT CAN BE RESOLVED BEFORE CALLING THE SERVICE CENTER
If the machine is not working and an alarm light is on, the causes of the malfunction can be identied and resolved by referring to
section 12. If, on the other hand, no alarm light is on, run the following checks before calling the service center.
PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
The espresso / coee is no hot. The cups have not been preheated. Heat the cups by rinsing them in hot
water or leaving them to rest for at least
20 minutes on the cup warmer tray (see
section 5 note 3).
The infuser is too cold. Heat the infuser by pressing the button
before making the coee (Fig. 14, see
note 3, section 5).
The coee is not creamy enough The machine uses too little coee during
the infusion process.
Turn the espresso/coee avor knob (Fig.
7) a little clockwise (see section 5 note 2)
The coee is ground too coarse. Turn the grinding coarseness regulator
(Fig. 17) one click counter-clockwise (see
section 6).
The ground coee is not correct Use another brand of coee blend.
The coee comes out too slowly The coee is ground too ne. Turn the grinding adjustment knob (Fig.
17) one click clockwise (see chap. 6).
The machine uses too much coee during
the infusion process.
Turn the espresso/coee avor knob (Fig.
7) alittle counter-clockwise.
The coee comes out too quickly. The coee is ground too ne. Turn the grinding adjustment knob (Fig.
17) one click clockwise (see chap. 6).
The machine uses too little coee
during infusion.
Turn the espresso/coee avor knob (Fig.
7) a little clockwise.

PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
The coee does not come out of one of
the spouts.
The spout is blocked. Scrape the remains of dry coee accumu-
lated with a needle (Fig. 28).
Turning the steam knob, no steam comes
out of the milk frother.
The holes in the spouts are clogged. Clean the holes in the milk frother and
the steam nozzle (see section 9 - Fig.27).
Pressing the and buttons, the
machine does not deliver coee, but only
water.
Ground coee may be blocked in the
funnel.
Remove the ground coee inside the
funnel, using a plastic knife (see section 7
– note 5). Then clean the infuser and the
inside of the machine (see description in
section 10.2).
Pressing the button, the machine
does not switch on.
The machine is not plugged in. Check that the power cable is plugged
into the power outlet.
The infuser cannot be removed for
cleaning.
The machine is on. The infuser can only
be removed if the machine is o.
Turn the machine o (see section 10.2).
WARNING: the infuser can only be
removed when the machine is o. At-
tempting to remove the infuser with the
machine on will risk causing damage.
Ground coee is used (rather than beans)
and the machine does not deliver the
coee.
Too much ground coee has been added. Remove the infuser and thoroughly clean
the inside of the machine, as described in
section 10.2. Repeat the operation using
a maximum of 1 level measure of ground
coee.
The button has not been pressed
and the machine has used both the
ground coee added and the coee
ground by the grinder.
Thoroughly clean the inside of the ma-
chine, as described in section 10.2. Re-
peat the operation by rst pressing the
button, as indicated in section 7.
Ground coee has been added when the
machine is o.
Remove the infuser and thoroughly clean
the inside of the machine, as described in
section 10.2. Repeat the operation, how-
ever switching on the machine rst.
The coee does not come out of the
spouts, but rather around the service
door.
The holes in the spouts are clogged with
dry coee.
Scrape the holes with a needle (see sec-
tion 10.1, Fig. 28).
The mobile drawer inside the service door
is blocked and cannot swing.
Thoroughly clean the mobile drawer,
particularly near the hinges to ensure
they are free to swing smoothly.
