WATER SOFTENER FILTER (SOME MODELS ONLY)
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.
Important:
• Keep in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight.
• After opening the pac,, use the lter at once.
• Remove the lte before descaling the machine.
To use the lter correctly, follow the instructions below.
Installing the lter
1. Remove the lter from packaging and rinse the lter with
about half a litre of tap water (g. 8).
2. Rotate the calendar disk so that the next two months are
displayed (g. 9).
Please note:
The lter lasts about two months if the appliance is used nor-
mally. If the coee maker is left unused with the lter installed,
it will last a maximum of three weeks.
3. Remove the tank from the appliance and ll with water
(g. 1A).
4. Insert the lter in the water tank and immerse it complete-
ly, sloping it to enable the air bubbles to escape (g. 10).
5. Insert the lter in the lter housing and press as far as it
will go (g. 11).
6. Close the tank with the lid (g. 12), then replace the tank
in the machine.
7. Place a container (min. capacity: 100 ml) under the cap-
puccino maker.
8. Turn the steam dial in position I to deliver hot water.
9. Let the appliance to deliver hot water for a few seconds, til
the delivery ows regulary, then turn the dial in position 0.

It may happen that a single hot water is not sucient to install
the lter: the lghts
come on.
In this case, repeat the installing operation from step 8.
The new lter is active and you can now use the coee maker.
11
Removing and replacing the lter
After two months (see date indicator) or when the appliance
has not been used for 3 weeks, you should remove the lter and
replace with a new one, proceeding as described at the previous
paragraph.
MAKING COFFEE
Selecting the coee taste
Turn the coee taste selection dial (B6) to set the required taste.
Turning it clockwise increases the quantity of coee beans the
appliance will grind and therefore the strength of the coee
obtained.
Turn the dial to MIN for an extra mild coee and to MAX for an
extra strong coee.
Please note :
• The rst time you use the appliance, you will need to make
a number of coees to identify the correct dial position
through trial and error.
• Do not turn the dial too far towards MAX, otherwise the
coee may be delivered too slowly (a drop at a time), par-
ticularly when making two cups of coee at the same time.
Selecting the quantity of coee in the cup
The appliance is set by default to automatically make the fol-
lowing quantities of coee:
- espresso coee, when the button is pressed (≃40ml);
- long coee when the button (≃120ml) is pressed;
- two espresso coees, when the
button is pressed;
- two long coees, when the button is pressed.
To change the quantity of coee the appliance delivers auto-
matically into the cup, proceed as described below:
- press the button corresponding to the quantity to be mod-
ied and hold it down until the light ashes and the appli-
ance starts delivering coee. Release the button;
- when the coee in the cup reaches the required level, press
the same button again to memorise the new amount.
The quantity of coee in the cup has now been programmed.
Adjusting the coee mill
The coee mill is set by default to prepare coee correctly and
should not require regulating initially.
However, if after making the rst few coees you nd that the
coee 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. 13).
Please note!
The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned when the
coee mill is in operation.
If the coee is delivered too slowly
or not at all, turn one click clockwise
towards “7”.
For fuller bodied creamier coee,
turn one click anticlockwise towards
“1” (do not turn more than one click
at a time otherwise the coee could
be delivered a drop at a time). These adjustments will only be
evident after at least 2 cups of coee have been delivered. If this
adjustment does not obtain the desired result, turn the dial an-
other click.
Setting the temperature
To modify the temperature of the water used to make the coee,
proceed as follows:
1. With the appliance o and the main switch in the I position
(g. 3), press the
button and hold it down until
the lights on the control panel come on.
2. Press the
button to select the required
temperature:
LOW HIGH
3. Press the button to conrm the selection. The
lights go o.
Tips for a hotter coee
For a hotter coee, before delivery you are recommended to:
• rinse the appliance through by pressing the but-
ton. Hot water ows out of the coee spouts and heats the
internal circuit of the machine so that the coee delivered
will be hotter.
• warm the cups with hot water (using the hot water
function);
• set a hotter coee temperature (see section “Setting the
temperature”).
12
Making coee using coee beans
Important!
Do not use caramelised or candied coee beans as they could
stick to the coee mill and make it unusable.
1. Fill the container with coee beans (g. 9).
2. Place under the coee spouts:
- 1 cup if you want one coee (g. 10);
- 2 cups if you want 2 coees (g. 11).
3. Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup. This makes
a creamier coee (g. 12).
4. Press the button corresponding to the number of coees
required
5. Preparation begins and the light corresponding to the se-
lected button ashes on the control panel.
Once the coee has been made, the appliance is ready for use
again.
Please note:
• While the coee maker is making coee, delivery can be
interrupted at any moment by pressing one of the coee
buttons.
• At the end of delivery, to increase the quantity of coee
in the cup, just press (within 3 seconds) one of the coee
buttons.
Please note :
For hotter coee, see the section “Tips for a hotter coee”.
Important!
• If the coee is delivered a drop at a time, too thin and
not creamy enough or too cold, read the tips in the
“Troubleshooting” section on page 17.
• Lights may be displayed on the control panel during use.
Their meaning is given in the section “Explanation of the
lights” on page 16.
Making coee using pre-ground coee
Important!
• Never add pre-ground coee
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 one level
measure or it could dirty the inside of the machine or block
the funnel.
Please note!
If you use pre-ground coee, you can only make one cup of cof-
fee at a time.
1. Make sure the appliance is on.
2. Turn the coee taste selection dial anticlockwise as far as it
will go to the position (g. 18).
3. Make sure the funnel is not blocked, then add one level
measure of pre-ground coee (g. 19).
4. Place a cup under the coee spouts.
5. Press the 1 cup coee button ( or ).
6. Preparation begins.
MAKING CAPUCCINO
Danger of burns!
During preparation, steam is given o. Take care to avoid scalds.
1. When making cappuccino, prepare the coee in a large
cup;
2. Fill a container (preferably with a handle to avoid burns)
with about 100 ml of milk for each cappuccino to be made.
In choosing the size of the container, bear in mind that the
milk doubles or triples in volume.
Please note :
For a richer denser froth, use skimmed or partially skimmed
milk at refrigerator temperature (about 5°C).
To avoid milk with poor froth or large bubbles, always clean
the cappuccino maker as described in the section “Cleaning
the cappuccino maker after use”.
3. Press the
button. The light ashes.
4. Immerse the cappuccino maker in the milk container (g.
20).
5. After a few seconds, when the light ashes, turn the
steam dial to the I position (g. 5). Steam is delivered from
the cappuccino maker, giving the milk a creamy frothy ap-
pearance and making it more voluminous.

6. To obtain a creamier froth, rotate the container with slow
upward movements. You should not deliver steam for more
than 3 minutes at a time.
7. When you have obtained the required froth, stop steam
delivery by turning the steam dial back to the 0 position.
Danger of burns!
Stop steam delivery before removing the container with the
frothed milk to avoid burns caused by splashes of boiling milk.
8. Add the milk froth to the coee prepared previously.
The cappuccino is ready. Sweeten to taste and, if desired,
sprinkle the froth with a little cocoa powder.
Cleaning the cappuccino maker after use
Clean the cappuccino maker after use to avoid the build-up of
milk residues or blockages.
1. Place a container under the cappuccino maker and deliver
a little water for a few seconds by rotating the steam dial
to the I position (g. 5).
Then turn the steam dial to the 0 position to stop the ow
of hot water.
2. Wait a few minutes for the cappuccino maker to cool down.
Grip the handle of the cappuccino maker tube rmly in one
hand and with the other rotate the cappuccino maker anti-

4. Make sure the two holes shown by the arrow in g. 18 are
not blocked. If necessary, clean with a toothpick.
5. Wash all parts of the cappuccino maker thoroughly with a
sponge and warm water.
6. Replace the nozzle and put the cappuccino maker back
on the nozzle, pushing it and turning it upwards until it is
attached.
HEATING WATER
Danger of burns!
Never leave the machine unsupervised while delivering hot
water. Stop delivery of hot water as described below when
the cup is full. The hot water spout becomes hot while water is
being delivered and must be handled by the handle only.
1. Possible to avoid splashes.
2. Turn the steam dial to the I position. Delivery begins.
3. Stop by turning the steam dial to the 0 position.
Please note :

When removing the drip tray, the grounds container must be
emptied, even if it contains few grounds.
If this is not done, when you make the next coees, the grounds
container may ll up more than expected and clog the machine.
Cleaning the drip tray and condensate tray
Important!
If the drip tray is not emptied regularly, the water could over-
ow from the edge and seep inside or around the coee maker.
This could damage the machine, the surface it rests on or the
surrounding area.
The drip tray is tted with a level indicator (red) showing the
level of water it contains (g. 25).
Before the indicator protrudes from the cup tray, the drip tray
must be emptied and cleaned.
To remove the drip tray:
1. Remove the drip tray and the grounds container (g. 24);
2. Empty the drip tray and grounds container and wash them;
3. Check the condensate tray and empty if necessary.
4. Replace the drip tray and grounds container.
14
Cleaning the inside of the coee maker
Danger of electric shock!
Before cleaning internal parts, the machine must be turned o

1. Remove the “TOTAL HARDNESS TEST” indicator paper from
its pack (attached to the English instructions).
2. Immerse the paper completely in a glass of water for one
second.
3. Remove the paper from the water and shake lightly. After
about a minute, 1, 2, 3, or 4 red squares form, depending
on the hardness of the water. Each square corresponds to
one level.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY
The coee is not hot The cups were not preheated. Warm the cups by rinsing them with hot water
(Please note you can use the hot water or rinse
function).
The infuser has cooled down because 2/3 mi-
nutes have elapsed since the last coee was
made.
Before making the coee, warm the infuser by
pressing the rinse button
.
The coee is thin or not cre-
amy enough.
The coee is ground too coarsely. Turn the grinding adjustment dial one click an-
ticlockwise while the coee mill is in operation
(g. 8).
Continue one click at a time until coee delive-
ry is satisfactory. The eect is only visible after
delivering two coees (see the section: “Adju-
sting the coee mill” on page 11).
The coee is unsuitable. Use pre-ground coee for espresso coee
makers.

slowly or a drop at a time
The coee is ground too nely. Turn the grinding adjustment dial one click
clockwise while the coee mill is in operation
(g. 10). Continue one click at a time until cof-
fee delivery is satisfactory. The eect is only vi-
sible after delivering 2 coees (see the section:
“Adjusting the coee mill” on page 11).
Coee does not come out of
one of the spouts
The spouts are blocked. Clean the spouts with a toothpick.
The frothed milk has large
bubbles
The milk is not cold enough or is not
semi-skimmed.
You should ideally use skimmed or semi-skim-
med milk at refrigerator temperature (about
5°C).
If the result is still disappointing, try another
brand of milk.
The milk is not frothed Cappuccino maker dirty. Clean as described in the section "Cleaning the
cappuccino maker after use" on page 13.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (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 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 proce-
dure 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.
Please note: 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 qualied
electrician.
Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be carried out by a qualied 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 retted. 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.
