SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

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 exercised
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. 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 fit 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 fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

complete. If in doubt, do not use the appliance and
contact qualified De'Longhi personnel only.

• Do not leave packaging (plastic bags, polystyrene
foam, etc) within reach of children as they could be
dangerous.

• This appliance is for household use only. All other

as this requires the use of special tools. If the cable is
damaged or requires replacing, contact an
authorized service center only to avoid all risks.

INSTALLATION

• Place the appliance on a work surface far away from
water taps and basins.

• Check that the outlet corresponds to the voltage on
the appliance rating plate. Connect the appliance to
an efficiently grounded outlet with a minimum rating
of 10A only. The manufacturer may not be
considered liable for possible incidents caused by the
failure to adequately ground the outlet.

• If the plug fitted to the appliance does not match the
power outlet, have the socket replaced with a
suitable type by qualified personnel.

• Never install the machine in environments where the
temperature may reach 0°C (32 F) or lower (the
appliance may be damaged if the water freezes).

CHLORINE FILTER

The filter eliminates the taste of chlorine from the water.
To install the filter, proceed as follows :

• Remove the chlorine filter from the plastic bag and
rinse it in tap water.

• Lift the coffee lid, remove the filter holder from its
housing by lifting it upwards.

• Open the filter holder by pressing the parts marked
“PUSH”, and carefully position the filter as shown in
Fig. 1.

• The chlorine filter must be replaced every 80 cycles,
and always after six months of operation.

HOW TO MAKE DRIP COFFEE

HOW TO SET THE CLOCK

When the coffee machine is connected to the outlet for the
first time, the numbers 0:00 will flash on the display.
To set the time, proceed as follows:

1. Press the "HOUR" button (fig. 2) for about 2

seconds until the number of hours on the display
increases;

2. Before the display stops flashing (about 5 seconds),

set the time required by repeatedly pressing the
HOUR button.

3. Set the minutes by repeatedly pressing the MIN

button (to speed up the operation, hold the button
down).

4. After setting the hour, wait 5 seconds. When the

display stops flashing, the hour programmed is
memorized.
To reset the hour, press the HOUR button for about 2
seconds then follow the procedure described in point

2. The hour set will not be retained in the memory in
the event of temporary power failure.

PROGRAMMING AUTOMATIC START-UP.

You can program the appliance to prepare drip coffee
automatically.
Make sure the time is set correctly. To set delayed start­up (the time you want to make the coffee), proceed as
follows:

1. Press the "AUTO" button (fig. 3) for about 2

seconds until 0:00 flashes on the display;

2. Before the display stops flashing (about 5 seconds),

set the time required by repeatedly pressing the
HOUR button.

3. Set the minutes by repeatedly pressing the MIN

button.

4. After 5 seconds, the display will stop flashing and

the programmed time will be memorized;

5. After programming the appliance, to obtain coffee

at the time set, just press the AUTO button. The
indicator light on the button will come on.
If you want to change the delayed start up time set,
press the AUTO button for about 2 seconds then set
a new time as described in point 2.
Bear in mind that at the time set, the appliance will
start to make drip coffee only. The espresso function
will not start.

LENGTH OF WARMING TIME (AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
TIME)

The appliance is programmed by the manufacturer to
keep the coffee hot for two hours after start-up.
However, this setting can be changed as follows:

1. Press the coffee "ON/OFF" button (fig. 4) for about
2 seconds until 0:00 flashes on the display;

2. Modify the time required by repeatedly pressing
the HOUR button (and also the MIN button if
required);

3. After setting the time, wait 5 seconds. When the
display stops flashing, the time will be memorized:
Note: If 0:00 is set, the appliance keeps the coffee
hot for an unlimited period of time.

SETTING 1 – 5 CUPS

To improve extraction and the aroma when making less
than 6 cups, press the 1-5 cups coffee button (fig. 5).
The 1-5 cups coffee LED will light up.

PREPARING DRIP COFFEE

• Lift the cover and remove the water tank on the
right (fig. 6).

• Fill the tank with fresh clean water up to the mark
corresponding to the number of cups of coffee to be
prepared, taking care not to exceed the MAX level
(fig. 7).

• Replace the tank in the appliance, pressing lightly
to open the valve on the bottom of the tank. The
tank may also be filled without being removed
using the drip coffee carafe marked with the level
indicators (fig. 8).

•Open the filter holder by rotating towards the right
(fig. 9).

• Position the permanent platinum filter or the paper
filter in the filter holder (fig. 10).

• Place the ground coffee in the filter, using the measuring
spoon supplied, and level evenly (Fig. 11).

According to coffee industry standards, use one
standard coffee measure (2 level tablespoons) of
coffee grounds for each six ounces of water.
The quantity of ground coffee used may, however,
be varied according to personal taste. Use good
quality, medium ground coffee for drip coffee
machines.

• Close the filter holder and place the carafe on the
warming plate with the lid on.

• Choose the desired flavor as indicated in the
paragraph "HOW TO CHOOSE THE FLAVOR OF
DRIP COFFEE".

Note: The coffee machine features a "Flavor Savor"
device inside the drip coffee filter holder. This increases
coffee infusion time to improve extraction. The resulting
coffee has a full intense flavor.
