5.2 Installing the appliance

Important!

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

• The appliance gives o heat. After positioning the appliance on the worktop, leave a space of at least 3 cm between the surfaces of the appliance and the side and rear walls and at least 15 cm above the coee maker.

• Water penetrating the coee maker 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 tempera-

ture could drop below freezing point.

• Arrange the cord in such a way that it cannot be damaged by sharp edges or contact with hot surfaces (e.g. electric hot plates).

5.3 Connecting the appliance

Important!

Check that the mains power supply voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate on the bottom of the appliance. Connect the appliance to an eciently earthed and correctly installed socket with a minimum current rating of 10A only. If the power socket does not match the plug on the appliance, have the socket replaced with a suitable type by a qualied professional.

5.4 Setting up the appliance

Please note:

• Coee has been used to factory test the appliance and it is therefore completely normal for there to be traces of coffee in the mill. The machine is, however, guaranteed to be new.

You should customise water hardness as soon as possible

following the instructions in section ““15. Setting water hardness”.

1. Insert the power cord (C7) connector into the socket (A9) at the back of the appliance and connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply (g. 1). Make sure the main switch (A8) at the back of the appliance is pressed (g. 2);

2. Remove the water tank (A10), ll to the MAX line with fresh water (g. 3A) then put back in the appliance (g. 3B);

You must rst choose the language by turning the selection dial, or waiting until the languages scroll through on the display (B1) automatically at intervals of about 3 seconds:

3. When "English" appears on the display, press the button (B9) (g. 4) for a few seconds until "English set" is displayed;

Follow the instructions indicated on the appliance display:

4. "INSERT WATER SPOUT": Check that the hot water spout (C6) is inserted on the connection nozzle (A13) and place a container holding a minimum of 100ml underneath (g.

5);

5. "HOT WATER Conrm?" appears on the display;

6. Press the button to conrm (g. 4). The appliance delivers water from the spout then goes o automatically.

The coee machine is now ready for normal use.

Please note:

• The rst time you use the coee maker, you need to make 4/5 cups of coee or 4/5 cappuccinos before it starts to give satisfactory results.

• When making the rst 5-6 cappuccinos, it is normal to hear the noise of boiling water. After this, the noise becomes less.

• To enjoy your coee even more and improve the performance of your appliance, we recommend installing a water softener lter (C4) as described in section “16. Water softener lter”. If your model is not provided with a lter, you can request one from De'Longhi Customer Services.

6. TURNING THE APPLIANCE ON

Please note:

Before turning the appliance on, make sure the main switch (A8) on the back of the appliance is pressed (g. 2).

Each time the appliance is turned on, it performs an automatic preheat and rinse cycle which cannot be interrupted. The appliance is ready for use only after completion of this cycle.

10. MAKING COFFEE

10.1 Selecting the coee taste

The quantity of coee in the cup has now been programmed.

10.4 Adjusting the coee mill

The coee mill is set by default to prepare coee correctly and should not require regulating initially. However, if after making the rst few coees you nd that the coee 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 (A2) (g. 11).

Please note:

The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned when the coee mill is in operation.

If the coee is delivered too slowly or not at all, turn one click clockwise towards 7. For fuller bodied creamier coee, turn one click anticlockwise towards 1 (do not turn more than one click at a time

otherwise the coee could be delivered a drop at a time). These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of coee have been delivered. If this adjustment does not obtain the desired result, turn the dial another click.

10.5 Tips for a hotter coee

For hotter coee, you should:

• perform a rinse cycle before delivery by pressing the

button (B5), as described in section “10. making coee”;

• warm the cups with hot water using the hot water function

(see section “12. Hot water”);

• select the "high" coee temperature in the menu (see sec-

tion “8.8 Setting the temperature”).

10.6 Making coee using coee beans

Important!

Do not use caramelised or candied coee beans as they could stick to the coee mill and make it unusable.

1. Fill the container (A7) (g. 12) with coee beans;

2. Place under the coee spouts (A14):

- 1 cup, if you want to make 1 coee (g. 9);

- 2 cups if you want 2 coees.

3. Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup. This makes a creamier coee (g. 13);

4. Press the button corresponding to the number of coees required (1 cup B7 or 2 cups B8) (gs. 10 and

14)

5. Preparation begins. The amount of coee selected appears on the display (B1) together with a progress bar which gradually lls as preparation progresses.

21. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS 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 procedure 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.

N.B. 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

Green and Yellow to Earth

Blue to neutral

13 amp Fuse

Brown to live

Cord Clamp

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 qualied electrician. Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be carried out by a qualied 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 retted. 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.

Warning - this appliance must be earthed
