3. SETTING UP THE APPLIANCE

Please note!

• The rst time you use the appliance, rinse with hot water

all removable accessories which may come into contact

with water or milk.

• Possible traces of coee in the mill are the result of ope-

rating tests performed on the appliance before sale, proof

of the meticulous care and attention we invest in our

products.

• You should customise water hardness as soon as possible

following the instructions in section “14. Setting water

hardness”.

1. Connect the appliance to the mains supply (g. 1).

2. "SELECT LANGUAGE": Press the selector (B2) correspond-

ing to "NEXT>" until the required language appears on the

display (B1), then press the selector corresponding to the

language.
Follow the instructions indicated on the appliance display:

3. "FILL TANK WITH FRESH WATER": remove the water tank

(A16) (g. 2), open the lid (A15) (g. 3), ll to the MAX line

(marked on the inside of the tank) with fresh water (g. 4),

close the lid and put the tank back in the appliance (g. 5);

4. "INSERT WATER SPOUT": Check that the hot water/steam

spout (C6) is inserted on the connection nozzle (A9) (g. 6)

and place a container holding a minimum of 100 ml under-

neath (g. 8);

5. WATER CIRCUIT EMPTY PRESS OK TO START: press the se-

lector corresponding to " OK" to conrm. The appliance

delivers hot water from the spout (g. 7) then goes o

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

Please note!

• The rst time you use the appliance, you need to make 4-5
cappuccinos before it starts to give satisfactory results.

• The rst time you use the machine, the water circuit is
empty and the appliance could be very noisy. The noise
becomes less as the circuit lls.

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

• To improve the performance of your appliance, we recom­mend installing a water softener lter (C4) as described
in section “15. Water softener lter”. If your model is not
provided with a lter, you can request one from De'Longhi
Customer Services.

8). The message "HEATING UP UNDERWAY PLEASE WAIT"
appears on the display.

• When heating is complete, the message changes to:

the boiler, this also heats the internal circuits by circulating
hot water.

The appliance is at temperature when the main screen (home­page) appears.

5. TURNING THE APPLIANCE OFF
