IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
• Read all instructions.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs.
• To protect against fire, electrical shock and personal injury, do not immerse cord, plug or appliance
in water or other liquid.
•Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before fitting or taking
off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
• Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been
damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
• The use of accessory attachments or spare parts not recommended by the appliance manufacturer
may result in fire, electrical shock or personal injury.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electrical burner, or in a heated oven.
• To disconnect the appliance, turn any control to “off”, then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Do not use the appliance for other than the intended use.
• This appliance is for household use only.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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 countertop 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.

SAFETY WARNINGS
• This machine has been manufactured to “make
coffee”. Never use other extracts, cocoa powder, camomile, other infusions or soluble substances: these may block the holes in the filter.
• During cleaning, never immerse the base and
the boiler in water: this is an electrical
appliance.
• Be careful to avoid being scalded by spraying
water or steam or due to the improper use of
the appliance.
• When using the appliance do not touch the hot
surfaces. Use the buttons or handles.
• After having removed the packaging, check that
the appliance is in tact. If in doubt, do not use
the appliance and contact a professionally qualified person.
• The parts of the packaging (plastic bags, poly-
styrene foam, etc.) must not be left within the
reach of children, as they are potential sources
of danger.
• This appliance must only be used for household
purposes. All other uses are considered improper and as a result dangerous.
• The manufacturer declines all liability for any
damage deriving from improper, erroneous
and unreasonable use of the appliance.
• The appliance must work only connected to a
power outlet; never use directly on stovetop burner
• Never touch the appliance with wet or damp
hands.
• Never allow the appliance to be used without
supervision by children.
• Make sure that children do not play with the
appliance.
• In the event of faults or malfunctioning of the
appliance, switch it off and do not tamper with
it
For any repairs, contact an authorized
DeLonghi Service Center and insist on the use
original spare parts. Failure to observe the
above warnings may compromise the safety of
the appliance.
• The power cord for this appliance must not be
replaced by the user, in that this operation
requires the use of special tools. In the event of
damage, only contact a service centre authorised by the manufacturer so as to avoid any
risks.
• Fill the boiler with water before placing the
Moka coffee maker on the support base.
• Do not let the power cord come into contact
with the metallic parts of the Moka coffee maker
when in operation.
INSTALLATION
• Place the appliance on a stable surface away
from water taps and sinks.
• Check that the voltage of the outlet corresponds
to the value indicated on the appliance’s rating
plate. Only connect the appliance to a power
outlet with a minimum rating of 6A that is properly grounded. The manufacturer declines all
liability for any accidents caused if the system is
not correctly grounded.
• If the power outlet does not match the plug on
the appliance, have the outlet replaced with a
suitable type by qualified DeLonghi service
technician.
Carefully read this instruction booklet before installing and using the appliance. This is
the only way to ensure the best results and
maximum safety for the user.

HOW TO PREPARE THE COFFEE
1) Check that the coffee maker is cold, and then
unscrew it by holding the boiler with one hand
and turning the container counter-clockwise
with the other (Fig. 1).
2 Remove the filter and, to prepare a full pot of
coffee, fill the boiler with fresh water until reaching the safety valve (visible inside the boiler),
without exceeding it (Fig. 2).
To prepare half a pot of coffee maker, fill the
boiler with water to the circular mark under the
safety valve (Fig. 3 - X).
TIP: use fresh and soft water. Salty or hard water
will weaken the flavor.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the coffee maker
without water in the boiler or alternatively
using hot water for faster operation.
3) Insert the filter in the boiler (Fig. 4). When pre-
paring half a pot, also place the adapter disk
(L) into the funnel filter (Fig. 5).
4) Fill the filter with ground coffee, without tamping it (Fig. 6). Fill it a little at a time to prevent
spilling the ground coffee.
5) Distribute the ground coffee uniformly and
remove any excess coffee from the edge of the
filter.
IMPORTANT: Use good quality, mediumground coffee, for Moka coffee makers.
6) Tighten the coffee maker securely. Hold the
boiler with one hand and turn the container
clockwise with the other without pushing on
the handle.
7) Rest the coffee maker on the base (Fig. 7).
Close the lid.
8) Press the on/off switch (Fig. 8).
The power light indicates that the coffee maker
is on.
9) The coffee will start to be released after a few
minutes.
10)When the pitcher is full, mix the coffee for
uniformity before serving it.
IMPORTANT: The first time that the coffee
maker is used, all the accessories should be
washed with hot water. Then make a few batches of coffee to throw away.
KEEP-WARM FUNCTION
Using the keep warm device, the coffee can be at
the right temperature up to half an hour after starting the machine.
This device is automatically disabled when the
coffee maker is removed from the base after the
coffee has brewed.
If the coffee maker is rested on the base with coffee still in the container, it can be kept warm for
another half an hour by pressing the on/off switch .
In any case, once the coffee has brewed, the coffee maker can be switched off by pressing the
on/off switch.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Before performing the cleaning operations,
wait for the coffee maker to have cooled down
after use.
• Clean the inside of the tube periodically.
• Regularly check the filter and the gasket:
replace if there are signs of wear or deterioration. Use original spare parts only.
• Every so often check that the holes in the disk
filter are not blocked; if necessary, clean using
a pin (Fig. 9).
• Do not wash the coffee maker in the dishwasher.
• When cleaning do not use solvents or abrasive detergents. Simply clean it with a sponge,
keeping attention not to wet the electrical
parts.

Never rinse the boiler under the tap water
and never immerse it in water.
