3 HOW TO USE YOUR MACHINE
3.1 Turning on and turning o
3.1.1 Turning on
Please note:
Each time the machine is turned on, to ensure drinks will be made at
just the right temperature, it carries out an automatic preheat and rinse
cycle that cannot be interrupted. The machine is not ready for use until

1. To turn the machine on, press the button (B1) and hold for 0.5
second (g. 16): the machine switches on.
2. Once the machine has heated up, a rinse cycle begins, during which
hot water is delivered from the drinks spout A3; in addition to heat-
ing up the boiler, this has the eect of heating up the internal cir-
cuits as hot water is circulated through them.

plug it from the mains socket.
16
3.1.3 Switching o for extended periods
If the machine is not going to be used for any length of time (e.g. holi-
days, periods of absence), follow the directions under the heading “ 5.7

3.2 Homepage and external buttons
3.2.1 Introduction to homepage
This display is designed to give you all the information you need at any
given moment of your day.
Navigating with ease through this generous oering of drinks and infor-
mation is crucial, which is why we have included certain features that will
be of great help to you.
3.2.1.1 Navigating the drinks display
When you switch on your machine, you will see a number of drinks icons
in the middle of the homepage: scrolling horizontally, you can explore the
entire selection the machine has to oer.
Displayed below each of the drink icons is a customization bar (grey,
with rounded ends) in which the delivery settings for the relative drink
are indicated. These are explained in greater detail under the heading "4
DRINKS".
Drinks
3.2.1.2 Upper tabs (Drinks, Bean Adapt e Coee Routines)
Located above the drink icons are 3 tabs, which give quick access to cer-
tain functionalities of the machine or provide important information
regarding the drinks you want to make.
• Selecting “Drinks” (C11) the display will show all the various drinks
that can be made with your machine. This is useful when a ltered
view has been selected; details can be found under the heading
"3.2.2 External buttons".
• The “Bean Adapt” tab (C3) gives access to the Bean Adapt function:
when this is activated (see heading "4.8.3 Bean adapt technology"),
the machine self-adjusts its settings to suit the type of coee bean
being used. When Bean Adapt is active, it shows the name of the
selected bean: tapping on the name, it becomes possible to select a
dierent coee bean or create new avour proles.
• The “Coee Routines” tab (C2) can be used to show which "Coee
Moment" is active at any given time. Find out about the "4.8.5 Cof-
fee Routines" feature in the dedicated section.
18
3.2.1.3 Settings, notications and indicators
The area at the top right of the display shows certain useful information
regarding the daily use of your machine, as well as the time, and the icon
that accesses the settings menu (C6):
• A symbol (C4) at the top centre warns that the tubes inside the
milk container need cleaning (see heading "6.2.3.2 Thorough clean-
ing of milk carafe after each use").
• When the symbol (C5) appears on the display, it indicates that
the energy saving function is active (see heading "5.10 Energy sav-
ing").
• The symbol (C10) is the connectivity icon, which indicates the
connection status of the machine (for further details see heading
"3.3 Connectivity"). Tapping on the icon gives direct access to the
Connectivity menu, from which you can enable/disable Wi-Fi,
download the App or select other operations explained under the
heading Connectivity .
• The "l" symbol (C12) indicates an alarm relating to maintenance of
the machine (descaling, replacement/removal of water lter, clean-
ing operations).
3.2.1.4 Time
The clock shows the current time (C9), and when tapped, can be used to
change the time zone, the day, the hours and minutes in the preferred
format, and to enable their synchronization via Wi-Fi (the various possi-
bilities aorded by Wi-Fi are explained under the Connectivity heading ).
To make a change, press (C9) to select and adjust the parameter of inter-
est, then press “←” to return to the previous screen and "X" to go back to
the homepage.
3.2.1.5 Prole and background icon
At the top left of the display is a circle showing a coloured avatar (C1) that
represents one of the proles created on your machine.
You can create up to 4 proles on this machine, each with its own av-
atar and distinctive colour. The colour is applied not only to the avatar
but also to the background of the display and the external button (B4)
so that you can always be sure which prole you are using. Proles and
Coee Routines (see heading "4.8.5 Coee Routines") are important tools
that ensure you enjoy a truly tailor made experience with your machine.
In eect, the machine will save the preferences of each user on that us-
er’s prole and — if coee routines are active — link them to dierent
moments of the day. This means that the machine can predict what you
might want and oer it on the display as a rst choice. Tapping on the
avatar, you can view all the proles created, and from there:
• tap on another avatar to go onto its homepage;
19
• add a new prole;
• edit an existing prole;
• delete an existing prole;
To add add a new prole (possible as long as there are still less than 4

• use the keyboard that pops up on the display to enter the name that
will be used, then press 'Done' repeatedly, and nally 'X' to go back
to the homepage.

4.1.3 Using pre-ground coee for hot coee drinks
Many drinks can be prepared using pre-ground coee. You will know if
this function is available for your favourite drink, as the “pre-ground” tab
is displayed on the customization page. The steps for preparing your hot
coee drink with pre-ground coee are described below.
Important!
• Never add pre-ground coee when the machine is o, or it could
spread through and soil the inside of the machine. In this situation
the machine could be damaged.
• Never use more than one level scoop as it could dirty the inside of
the machine or clog the funnel.
• When using pre-ground coee, you can make only one cup at a
time and it will not be possible to select the intensity of the drink
via the display, since the intensity depends on the amount of cof-
fee you pour into the funnel, which can never be more than one
level scoop.
• Certain drinks cannot be prepared using pre-ground coee: Dop-
pio+, 2xEspresso and Coee Pot.
• Making Filter style coee: halfway through preparation, when
prompted by the machine, add one level measure of pre-ground
coee and press "Deliver".
1. Place 1 cup under the drinks spout (A3);
2. Tap the customization bar C8 below the desired drink (g. 22). A
page appears on the display, showing the parameters that can be
customized according to preference;
3. Select the “Pre-ground” tab at the top right;

27
Important!
Selecting Pre-ground, the screen changes and the option of altering
the intensity setting is removed, since the intensity depends on the
amount of pre-ground coee introduced (which in any event must be
no more than 1 level scoop).
4. Choose the preferred quantity: an updated estimate of the actual
uid amount will be shown at the top of the page. Press “Deliver”;
5. Lift the lid A2 of the accessories compartment (g. 23);
6. Check that the pre-ground coee funnel (D3) is in place and make
sure it is not blocked; add one level scoop (D1) of pre-ground coee
(g. 24). Press "Ok";
7. The machine proceeds with preparation and a description of each
single step (water heating, delivery of coee) appears on the display.
Once the preparation has been completed, the machine is ready for use
again. In contrast to other customizations, the use of pre-ground coffee
cannot be saved but must be selected at each preparation.
Please note
• "Cancel": press to interrupt preparation completely and go back
to the homepage, without saving the customization.
• "Stop": when preparing drinks with multiple ingredients (e.g.
Americano = coee + hot water), press this button to terminate
the delivery of the current ingredient and pass on to delivery of
the next ingredient.
• At the end of delivery, to increase the quantity of coee in
the drink, simply press +Extra. When the required quantity is
reached, press Stop.

ing method that takes a few minutes to complete.
•
For best results with Cold Brew, empty the water tank (A8), rinse
out and ll with fresh drinking water.
• When a Cold Brew drink is selected immediately after making a
hot drink, the machine prompts to carry out a cold rinse so that
the new drink will be delivered at the right temperature. In this
situation, respond by selecting the cold rinse or press “Skip” to
proceed with preparation.

cycle with steam and water, which also means that leftover milk can be
kept in the fridge and used later.
The quality of the froth can vary depending on:
• the temperature of the milk or vegetable drink used (for best re-
sults, always use straight from the fridge, 5 °C);
• type of milk or vegetable drink;
• the brand used;
• ingredients and nutritional values.

4.4 Drinks with cold milk
When preparing drinks with cold milk you need to use the LatteCrema
Cool carafe, identied by the white coloured carafe lid (E2). If your
model does not have this accessory, you can purchase it on the
delonghi.com website.
The next few headings give indications on the types of milk to use, on
how to utilize and clean the carafe and, as in the case of coee drinks,
how to deliver and customize your cold milk-based drinks. You can use
your machine to prepare a wide variety of hot milk drinks: rst press
Cold (B3) to select cold drinks, then the "Milk" tab in the top part of the
display, as described previously under heading "3.2.2 External buttons".
These are the drinks with cold milk that will appear in the display of your
machine.

4.4.1 What milk to use in the “LatteCrema Cool” carafe?
With the LatteCrema Cool carafe, milk can be frothed to dierent levels,
so that any drink made with cold milk will be prepared to perfection.
Steam, air and milk are blended together in the proportions guaranteed
to produce a perfect froth, delivered directly from carafe to cup. In
addition, the LatteCrema Cool carafe features a dedicated cleaning cycle
with steam and water, which also means that leftover milk can be kept
in the fridge and used later. If you do not have the LatteCrema Cool
carafe, you can purchase it on the delonghi.com website.
The quality of the froth can vary depending on:
• the temperature of the milk or vegetable drink used (for best re-
sults, use straight from the fridge, 5 °C);
• type of milk or vegetable drink;
• the brand used;
• ingredients and nutritional values.

4.7 Tips for a Perfect coee
1. If the coee emerges drop-by-drop, too weak and not creamy
enough, refer to the tutorial on adjusting the coee grinder (see
heading “5.13 Grinder settings”) and consult the FAQs section;
2. If the coee is too hot or cold, adjust the coee temperature setting
(see heading "5.12 Coee temperature", in the settings menu) and
consult the FAQs section;
3. To make a hotter coee, proceed as follows:
• run a rinse cycle before preparing and delivering the coee (see
heading "5.5 Rinsing" in the settings menu );
• warm the cups with hot water (using the hot water function, see
heading 4.5 Delivering hot water“);
• select a higher temperature setting for the coee (see heading "5.12
Coee temperature" in the settings menu ).
4. To make a cooler coee:
• empty the water tank and ll with fresh water;
• cool the cup/glass with cold water or with ice, to be removed be-
fore the coee is delivered;
• if the cup or glass is able to withstand sharp changes in temper-
ature, place in the fridge for a few minutes before delivering the
hot drink.

4.8.4 “My” function
With the “My” function, you can select the quantity of each single ingredi-
ent used for preparation of the hot drink you want to make. The My func-
tion is dierent from the selection of the quantity described in headings
on the customization of drinks, as it allows you to adapt a drink precisely
to your particular cup.
The way it works is simple and intuitive: once you have started preparing
your drink, you need only stop the delivery whenever you choose, and
that quantity will be saved as a 'My' quantity on the active prole.
Given below are the step-by-step instructions on how to save the “My”
setting for a drink with two ingredients (e.g. Cappuccino = milk +
coee). The same procedure can be followed for a drink with just one
ingredient.
1. Check that the selected prole is the one for which you want to
customize the drink;
2. Tap the customization bar C8 at the bottom of the image illustrating
the desired drink (e.g. Capuccino g. 31);
3. Press ;
4. Press “Start”,
5. If preparing coee based drinks, select the intensity, or if using the
tea function, select the temperature: press “→”.
6. Place the preferred cup under the drinks spout (A3) and press
“Deliver”;
7. The machine starts delivering the rst ingredient. A bar appears on
the display, representing the range from 1 up to the maximum value
programmable for this particular ingredient of the selected drink.
8. After a few seconds of delivering the ingredient, the bottom part of
the display will show the “Stop” button, which you can press at any
time to terminate the delivery. If the selected drink has only one
ingredient, the quantity released into the cup up to the moment of
pressing Stop will be stored, and you can retrieve it at any time as
a “My” quantity.
57
9. If the drink comprises another ingredient, a new progress bar will
appear on the screen, similar to the rst described above, and all
you have to do is repeat the same procedure for this second ingre-
dient. At the conclusion of this second cycle, the “My” quantity will
be saved likewise.
10. If Coee Routines are active, as explained under the “Coee Rou-
tines” heading, the machine will ask if you want to save the setting
for all times of the day or only for one particular time.
Please note
• If saved, the new settings will be stored ONLY in the selected
prole.
• In the case of Espresso coee, when a single drink is custom-
ized, the respective double version of the drink is automatically
customized as well.
• It is possible to exit programming mode at any given moment
by pressing “X”: the values will not be saved.
• In practice, “My“ is one of the amounts or quantities you can
select for your drink, which means you can choose at any
given moment to select one of the other quantities or go back
to the “My“ setting, certain that it will be the one saved with
the process described above. If you want to reprogramme the
"My“ quantity, simply tap the “Reset” tab, which appears
whenever My is selected. Once the reset is done, you can set the
quantity again via the process illustrated above.
• To reprogramme the My drink, the parameters must be reset to
the factory default values: tap the customization bar C8 of the
drink and check that the function is enabled. Press “Reset”
to restore the factory default values for the drink. The drink can
now be reprogrammed.

4.8.5 Coee Routines
With this function the machine will remember how you like your coee
at dierent times through the day and update the list of drinks to match
your preferences.
As long as the function is active, whenever the settings (quantity, inten-
sity, etc.) for any given drink are changed, the machine will give you the
option of saving the new settings, for that particular period during the
day, by ticking the dedicated box and then conrming with 'Yes'. On the
other hand, should you want to save the new settings for all times of the
day, simply select “Yes” on the dedicated screen.
Please note
You can check on the homepage if the feature is active: if the tab on
the right shows the words “Coee Routines”, this means the feature is
disabled, in which case a tap on the tab will enable it.
If however the tab on the right shows one of 3 symbols (g. 40), this
means that coee routines are active. Make certain that the time on the
clock is correct, or adjust as necessary, following the instructions given
under heading "3.2.1.4 Time". To disable this function:
• on the homepage, tap on the symbol corresponding to the current
period of the day (g. 40);
• tap on the cursor (g. 41) and conrm with “Yes” that the function
is being disabled;
• tap on the list you want to keep as the dened list, and conrm
with “Ok”.
On the homepage, the symbol of the coee routine currently in pro-
gress will be replaced by another symbol indicating that the func-
tion has been disabled correctly (g. 42).

5.12 Coee temperature
Temperature is one of the main factors in determining a good coee
brew. The lighter the roast, the higher the temperature the coee can
withstand, and vice versa. Which is why we recommend using the Bean
Adapt function to ensure the ideal temperature setting for the
bean being used.
Important: if what you are looking for is simply a hotter drink, then the
best way to achieve this is to warm the cup beforehand with a little hot
water, which can be poured away before your coee drink is dispensed
by the machine. If on the other hand your preference is for a cooler drink,
use cold water or ice to lower the temperature of the cup, before placing
it empty under the spout of the coee machine.
1.
Press the button (C6).
2. Select “General settings” on the screen.
3. Press "Coee temperature";
4. Set the desired temperature
5. Press “X” to store the new temperature and go back to the homepage.
5.13 Grinder settings
The adjustment of the coee grinder, hence the coarseness or neness of
the ground coee, is one of the crucial factors in achieving a good brew.
Accordingly, we recommend using the Bean Adapt function, which will
adjust the grinder to the optimum setting for any bean you wish to use.
Should you prefer not to activate Bean Adapt , we will show you in
this heading how to change the grinder setting and oer a few sugges-
tions on how to adjust it correctly.
1. Press
the button (C6).
2. Select “General settings” on the screen.
3. Scroll through the topics and select “Grinder settings”.

tailed explanation on how to adjust the grinding level: use the scroll
arrows to go from one screen to the next, then press “X” to go back
to the main grinder adjustment screen.
6. Select one of the grinding levels available (identied with grey
background). Grinding levels can be set one at a time.
7. If the bean adapt function is active, the display shows the relative
symbol next to the level set for the bean prole currently in
use.
8. To restore the factory settings, press reset .
9. Press “X” to go back to the “Grinder settings” menu;
64
10. Press “X” to go back to the homepage.
Please note:
• After completing the above procedure, at least 5 coees should be
prepared and delivered before making any further adjustment to
the coee grinder. If the coee is still not being delivered correctly
by the machine, repeat the procedure.
• If the Bean Adapt function is active, changing the grinding level
will have the eect of deactivating the function.
5.14 Water hardness

when to clean the removable brewing unit (A19) and the coee spout
nozzles (A22 and A23) (see heading “6.6 Deep cleaning of the machine”).
This is a quick and simple operation, but if carried out regularly, it will
ensure the taste and aroma of your coee never disappoints, as well as
prolonging the life of your machine.
To clean the coee spout nozzles whenever you please, even without the
reminder, proceed as follows:
1. Switch o the machine (see heading "3.1.2 Turning o");
2. Press the release button (A4) and remove the cover (A21) of the
drinks spout (A3) by pulling it away from the front, then remove the
nozzles by pulling downwards (g. 54 details 1 and 2);
3. Separate the two nozzles (g. 55 detail 3) and rinse them under
warm running drinking water (at least 40 °C) to remove all visible
residues (g. 55 detail 4). For maximum cleansing, a cycle in the
dishwasher is recommended.
Please note:
If there is no dishwasher available, it is recommended that components
be left to soak in warm water (40 °C approx) and washing-up liquid for
around 30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly under running water, and nally,
dry with a clean cloth.
4. Clean the socket of the removable nozzles with a sponge (g. 55
detail 5);
5. Reassemble the nozzles (A22 and A23), then reattach them to the
spout: make sure the “INSERT” marking is at the top and can be seen
when the nozzles have been retted;
6. Reposition the cover on the spout and ensure it snaps into place.
7. The nozzles of the drinks spout are now clean and the machine is
ready for use.

6.6.3 Descaling
Descaling is a deep-cleaning function of your machine that serves to
eliminate the limescale residues which can form gradually along the cir-
cuit that conveys water from the tank to your cup.
Not only does descaling prolong the life of your machine, it also makes a
considerable dierence to the quality of the drinks you prepare.
As explained under the heading "5.14 Water hardness", the machine tells
you when will be the best time to run a descaling cycle, based on the
number and type of the drinks prepared and the hardness of the water
you are using. If the water hardness setting has been entered correctly,
the machine will prompt for descaling to be carried at the appropriate
intervals.
You can check at any time how long it will be until the next descale by
going to the settings menu → maintenance → 5.2 Descaling.
Important!
• Before use, read the instructions and the labelling on the descaler
pack.
• Use only descaler supplied by De’Longhi. If unsuitable descaler is
used, or descaling is not carried out properly and when required,
the machine may develop faults not covered by the manufactur-
er’s guarantee.
• Descaler can cause damage to delicate surfaces. If the product is
accidentally spilt, dry immediately.
