EAM3200_manual_final 5/19/04 11:50 AM Page 3

heritage of Italian culture and tradition. So now that you know who the experts are, who else but De’Longhi could create the ultimate super automatic machine?

5.1 Features and Benefits

What You Grind is What You Brew

The compact and

patented

Direct-to-Brew System

with Thermo Block technology provides excellent heat distribution and it’s removable for easy cleaning. The beans are ground instantly to ensure the freshest espresso or coffee.

Professional-Quality Conical Burr Grinder

Integrated burr grinder produces consistent, fresh and aromatic espresso or coffee. Grind settings allow you to adjust the fineness for all types of beans.

Instant Reheat Function

The instant reheat function heats the core of the machine, ensuring that Magnifica maintains an ideal temperature for brewing.

Patented Cappuccino System Frother

This special frothing system includes a chamber that mixes steam and milk to create a rich creamy froth. It’s perfect for making the ideal cappuccino, latte or any other frothy milk espresso / coffee beverage.

Espresso / Coffee Flavor and Quantity Controls

Two separate easy-to-use control dials allow you to easily make adjustments to espresso / coffee strength and brewed espresso / coffee amounts.

Automatic Controls and Indicators

The water level and used coffee containers are monitored automatically for worry-free use. There are also indicators for rinsing, cleaning and decalcifying. This will facilitate care and maintenance of the machine.

EAM3200_manual_final 5/19/04 11:50 AM Page 4

6: Introduction To Crema

What is an Authentic Espresso?

To appreciate the quality and consistency of the Magnifica, you need to understand what makes a good espresso. The identifying mark of an authentic Italian espresso can be found in the brown layer of foam that lies on top of a properly brewed espresso. The brown foam, referred to as the “crema”, is the essence of a perfect espresso. The crema holds all of the compounds that constitute the aroma and flavor of an espresso. A good crema will last about thirty to ninety seconds before it dissipates completely, once this has happened, the aromatics are infused into the drink to deliver an authentic-tasting espresso.

2. Rinse the water tank and fill it with clean, cold water without exceeding the MAX line. Replace the water tank by pushing it all the way in. (Figure 1)

Tip:

Renew water daily.

11.2 Filling the Coffee Bean Container (If you are

using whole coffee beans)

• Never fill coffee bean container with pre-ground coffee.

Tip:

Before filling the coffee bean container, make

sure to remove any foreign objects

1. Open the coffee bean container lid and fill container with coffee beans and close the lid. (Figure 2)

2. Note: If you are using frozen coffee beans, let them thaw for 3 to 4 hours before filling them into the bean container. This will prevent moisture from seeping into the grinder. Never use sugar-coated beans.

Note: It is recommended not to use oily, sugar coated or flavored beans. These types of beans could damage the machine.

11.2A Setting the Coffee Grinder (If you are using whole coffee beans)

1. The coffee grinder does not need to be adjusted for the first use. The coffee grinder has already been pre-set in the factory for the

Figure 1

Figure 2

EAM3200_manual_final 5/19/04 11:50 AM Page 13

correct delivery of the espresso / coffee.

2. If after making the first espresso / coffee the delivery it too fast or too slow (in drops), the grinding coarseness must be adjusted using the coffee grinder dial (Figure 3) located inside the bean container.

3. Turning one click (one number) clockwise achieves faster delivery of the espresso / coffee and a coarser ground coffee.

4. Turning one click (one number) counter-clockwise achieves slower delivery of the espresso / coffee and a finer ground coffee (and makes the coffee creamier in appearance).

5. These adjustments will only be evident after the delivery of at least 2 cups of espresso / coffee.

6. The coffee grinder dial must only be turned when the coffee grinder is on.

11.3 Filling the Ground Coffee Container (If you are

using pre-ground coffee)

• Never add the pre-ground coffee when the machine is off.

• Never add more than 1 full measure of pre-ground coffee. The ground coffee funnel will get blocked.

• When dosing the quantity of pre-ground coffee to be added, only use the measuring scoop provided.

• Use only pre-ground coffee specifically for use in espresso machines. Do not use whole coffee beans, freeze-dried coffee or other materials that may damage the machine.

• Never use instant coffee. It could severely damage the brewing system.

Tip:

Before filling the ground coffee container, make

sure to remove any foreign objects.

7. Open the ground coffee container lid (located in the center of the machine). To prepare one espresso / coffee and add just one level measure of pre-ground coffee with measuring scoop (provided). (Figure 4)

8. Note: You can only make one espresso / coffee at a time when using pre-ground coffee.

9. Close the lid.

Using the Machine for the First Time

Figure 5

Figure 6

Figure 3

Figure 4

EAM3200_manual_final 5/19/04 11:50 AM Page 14

• Note: Make sure you have plugged the machine into an outlet and turned it on by pressing the on/off button before proceeding.

10. Move the frother towards the outside (Figure 5) and place cup underneath frother. Turn the machine on by pressing the button. (Figure 6)

11. Turn the steam control dial half a turn counterclockwise (Figure 7). Note: It is normal for the machine to make some noise.

12. After a few seconds, a little water will release from the frother. When the cup is 1/3 full, turn the steam control dial half a turn clockwise (Figure 8) to terminate the flow of water.

13. Wait for the and lights to stop flashing. When the lights are flashing, the machine is still preheating.

14. The machine will automatically perform a rinse cycle and a little hot water will release from the coffee spouts and collect in the drip tray.

15. Once the lights illuminate steadily, the machine has reached the ideal temperature for making espresso/coffee and is now ready for use.

16. Note: Before preparing the espresso/coffee, always make sure that the green and lights are on steadily.

11.4 Setting the Espresso / Coffee Flavor Dial

1. Turn the espresso / coffee flavor dial (Figure 9) to set the desired taste of your espresso/coffee from regular, strong to extra strong.

2. Turning the dial clockwise increases the quantity of coffee beans the machine will grind, and therefore makes the taste stronger. Note: When using the machine for the first time, the correct position for the dial can be found by trial and error.

3. Note: Make sure not to turn it too far clockwise, otherwise the espresso / coffee will be delivered too slowly (in drops) when preparing two cups of espresso / coffee.

11.5 Espresso / Coffee Quantity

11.5A The Difference Between Espresso/Coffee Quantity

• “Ristretto” (small/short) espresso: 1/2 oz. to 1 oz. of coffee

• “Espresso”: 1 oz. to 1.5 oz. of coffee

• Large (long/double shot/American coffee): 5 oz. to 8 oz. of coffee

Figure 7

Figure 8

Figure 9

EAM3200_manual_final 5/19/04 11:50 AM Page 15

Note: It is recommended to add a bit of sugar to “ristretto” or “espresso” coffee. Drink the large (American coffee) black or add sugar and milk if you prefer.

Tip:

If you add sugar and milk to your cup before you brew your espresso/coffee it will be dissolved more uniformly.

Tip:

If you set the espresso / coffee quantity dial to maximum and push the 2-cup button, the machine will prepare a 12 oz. coffee. The average coffee drinker may find this to be too mild, so adjust the volume accordingly.

11.5B Setting the Espresso / Coffee Quantity

1. Turn the coffee quantity dial (Figure 10) to set the amount of espresso/coffee desired.

2. Turning the dial clockwise makes a longer coffee. Note: When using the machine for the first time, the correct position for the dial can be found by trial and error.

12: Preparing the Espresso / Coffee

Please follow the instructions below. You can make any quantity of espresso/coffee from 1/2 oz. to 12 oz.

Note: The process is always the same: water is forced through the coffee in a very short time period to avoid over-extraction, for perfect espresso / coffee every time. Caution: Never switch the machine on when the water tank is completely empty. Without water, the machine cannot make espresso / coffee and the machine will become noisy.

Before preparing the espresso / coffee, make sure you have done the following:

• Followed all of the instructions listed under Section 11 of the manual (“Preparing the Machine”).

• The water tank and either the bean container or ground coffee container is full.

• If using for first time, followed all of the instructions listed under section 11 of the manual.

12.3 Tips on Making Hotter Coffee

•When the machine is first turned on and a short cup of espresso / coffee is required, use the hot rinse cycle to pre-heat cups (refer to point 14 in section 11.3 of the manual).

•Unless pre-heated, do not use cups that are too thick.

•Use cups that have been previously heated by rinsing them with hot water.

•Use cups that have been previously heated using the cup warmer on top of the machine.

13: Frothing or Steaming(How to Make the Perfect

Cappuccino or Latte)

What is cappuccino?

A cup of cappuccino is one shot of espresso, 1/3 cup steamed milk with a dollop of froth. It can be garnished with chocolate, cinnamon or nutmeg.

What is a latte?

A cup of latte is one shot of espresso (or two shots for a double latte), 1/2 cup steamed milk with about 1/2 to 1/3 froth.

• Use this feature to heat up liquids or to froth or steam milk for cappuccinos or lattes.

• The milk frother must be cleaned after each use. Please refer to the “Cleaning and Maintenance” section of the manual for more detailed instructions.

Before First Use:

1. The removable parts of the milk frother (milk frother body and steam nozzle) are high precision parts. Always keep these two parts clean and free of milk residue. (See “Cleaning and Maintenance” section of the manual for more detailed instructions on cleaning.)

Ready to Begin Frothing or Steaming:

1. Fill a container (metal container is recommended) with about 3.5 oz. of cold milk.

2. Note: Skim (0% fat) milk is recommended. It will produce the most froth and will let you taste more of the espresso / coffee. 1% and 2% milk will produce less froth, and regular milk (3% fat) will give you half or less than half the froth of skim milk.

3. When choosing the size of the container, remember that the volume will increase by two or three times.

EAM3200_manual_final 5/19/04 11:50 AM Page 20

4. Move the milk frother to the outside of the machine.

5. Prepare the espresso / coffee as described in section 12 of the manual, using sufficiently large cups.

6. Press the steam function button (Figure 17). The light (Figure 18) starts flashing to indicate that the machine is heating up.

15.7 Decalcification:

• Due to the continuous heating of the water used to make espresso / coffee, over time it is normal for the tubing inside the machine to fill with lime scale. When the lights starts flashing, it is time to decalcify the machine.

• When the light switches on, the machine still can be used to prepare espresso / coffee. But for the best tasting espresso / coffee, it is recommended that you decalcify the machine when the light starts to flash.

• The machine must be plugged in and turned on during the decalcification process.

Proceed as follows:

• Prepare the solution as indicated on the packaging of the decalcification product supplied with the machine. To the purchase the decalcification solution, please contact a De’Longhi customer service representative at 1-800-322-3848 (U.S. Only). Note: Only use the decalcification solution supplied by De’Longhi.

• Pour the contents of the bottle (20 oz. / 0.5 liters) into the water tank and then add water (20 oz. / 0.5 liters – as described in the instructions on the bottle).

• Place a container (with a minimum capacity of 60 oz. / 1.5 liters) under the milk frother (Figure 5).

• Turn the machine on by pressing the power button (Figure 6).

•Wait for the green and indicator lights to illuminate steadily (not flashing).
