BEFORE USE

Checking the appliance

After removing the packaging, make sure the product is complete and undamaged and that all accessories (C) are present. Do not use the appliance if it is visibly damaged. Contact De’Longhi Customer Services.

Installing the appliance

Important!

When you install the appliance, you should respect the following safety warnings:

• The machine gives off heat. After positioning the machine on the worktop, leave a space of at least 1.18 in / 3 cm between the surfaces of the machine and the side and rear walls and at least 5.6 in / 15 cm above the coffee maker.
• Water penetrating the 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 temperature could drop below freezing point.
• Arrange the cord (C7) in such a way that it cannot be damaged by sharp edges or come with contact with hot surfaces (e.g. electric hot plates).

MAKING COFFEE

Adjusting the coffee grinder

The coffee grinder is set by default to prepare coffee correctly and should not require regulating initially. However, if after making the first few coffees you find that the coffee 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 dial (A5) (fig. 7).

Please note:

The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned when the coffee grinder is in operation. If the coffee is delivered too slowly or not at all, turn one click clockwise. For fuller bodied creamier coffee, turn one click anticlockwise (do not turn more than one click at a time). These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of coffee have been delivered. If this adjustment does not obtain the desired result, turn the dial another click.

Tips for a hotter coffee

For hotter coffee, you should:

• rinse the machine prior to brewing, press /ESC (B5) (see section “8. RINSING”);
• warm the cups with hot water using the hot water function (see section “13. Delivering hot water”);
• increase the coffee temperature in the "Settings" menu (see section “7.5 General”).

Making automatic recipes using coffee beans

Important!

Do not use green, flavoured, caramelised or candied coffee beans as they could stick to the coffee grinder and make it unusable.

1. Fill the container (A3) (fig. 8) with coffee beans;
2. Place under the coffee spouts (A9):
   - 1 cup, if you want to make 1 coffee (fig. 9);
   - 2 cups if you want 2 coffees.
3. Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup. This makes a creamier coffee (fig. 10);
4. Then select the desired recipe coffee:
   
   
5. Preparation begins. A progress bar appears on the display (B1) and gradually fills as preparation proceeds.
