13. MAKING COFFEE
13.1 Adjusting the coee mill
The coee mill is set by default to prepare coee correctly and
should not require regulating initially.
However, if after the rst few attempts it becomes apparent that
the coee is either too weak and not creamy enough, or emerges too slowly (drop by drop), this can be corrected by adjusting
the grinding adjustment dial (A5) (g. 7).
7
Please note:
The grinding adjustment dial must be used only when the coee
mill is in operation.
If the coee is delivered too slowly or not
at all, turn one click clockwise towards 7.
For fuller bodied creamier coee, turn
one click anticlockwise towards 1 (do not
turn more than one click at a time other-
wise the coee could be delivered a drop
at a time).
The eect of the adjustment will be noticed only after making
a further 2 cups of coee, at least. If this adjustment does not
produce the desired result, turn the dial another click.
13.2 Tips for a hotter coee
To make a hotter coee, proceed as follows:
• perform a rinse cycle by pressing OK (B15);
• warm the cups with hot water using the hot water function
(see section “15. Delivering hot water”);
• increase the coee temperature (see section “18. Setting
water hardness”).

13.3 Making coee using coee beans
10
Important!
Do not use green, caramelised or candied coee beans as they
could stick to the coee mill and make it unusable.
1. Fill the beans container (A3) (g. 8) with coee beans;
2. Place under the coee spouts (A19):
- 1 cup, to make 1 coee (g. 9);
- 2 cups, to make 2 coees.

16. CLEANING
16.1 Cleaning the machine
The following parts of the machine must be cleaned regularly:
- the appliance’s internal circuit;
- coee grounds container (A11);
- drip tray (A15) and condensate tray (A10);
- water tank (A17);
- coee spouts (A9);
- pre-ground coee funnel (A4);
- infuser (A20), accessible after opening the infuser door
(A19);
- milk container (D);
- hot water connection nozzle (A8);
Important!
• Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to clean
the coee machine. With De’Longhi superautomatic coee
machines, no chemical products are required for cleaning
purposes.
• None of the components of the appliance can be washed
in a dishwasher with the exception of the drip tray grille
(A14) and milk container (D).
• Do not use metal objects to remove encrustations or coee
deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces.
16.2 Cleaning the internal circuit
If the appliance is not used for more than 3/4 days, before using
it again, we strongly recommend switching it on and:
• running 2/3 rinse cycles by pressing OK (B15);
• release hot water for a few seconds (section “15. Delivering
hot water”).
12

Please note:
Water may nd its way into the grounds container (A11) during
the above rinse procedure: this is quite normal.
16.3 Cleaning the coee grounds container
When the indicator light (B2) appears on the touch screen,
the container must be emptied and cleaned. The appliance cannot be used to make coee again until the grounds container
(A11) has been cleaned. Even if the grounds container is not
full, the message indicating that it should be emptied will be
displayed 72 hours after the rst coee has been prepared (for
the 72 hours to be calculated correctly, the machine must never
be turned o by unplugging the power cord).
Important! Danger of scalding
If you make a number of cappuccinos one after the other, the
metal cup tray (A12) becomes hot. Wait for it to cool down before touching it and handle it from the front only.
To clean (with the machine on):
