Installing the appliance

Important!

When you install the appliance, you should follow
the safety warnings below:

• The appliance gives off heat. After positioning
the appliance on the work top, 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 coffee maker.

• Water penetrating the appliance 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 temperature could
drop below freezing point.

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

Connecting the appliance

Important!

Check that the mains power
supply voltage corresponds to the value indicated
on the rating plate on the bottom of the appliance.

Connect the appliance to an efficiently 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 qualified pro­fessional.

Setting up the appliance

N.B.!

• Coffee 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.

MAX line with fresh water then replace in the
appliance (fig. 3).

4. "INSERT WATER SPOUT AND PRESS OK":
Check that the hot water spout is inserted on
the nozzle and place a container underneath
(fig. 4).
Press the OK icon (fig. 2). "PLEASE WAIT..." is
displayed and the appliance begins to deliver

the internal circuits by circulating hot water.
The appliance is at temperature when the message
"STANDARD COFFEE standard taste" is displayed.

TURNING THE APPLIANCE
OFF

Each time the appliance is turned off, it performs
an automatic rinse cycle which cannot be inter­rupted.

Regulating the coffee mill

The coffee mill is preset in the factory to prepare
coffee correctly and should not require regulating
initially.
However, if after making the first few coffees you
find that delivery is either too fast or too slow (a
drop at a time), this can be corrected by regula­ting the grinding adjustment knob (fig. 11).

Important!

The grinding coarseness regu­lator must only be turned when the coffee mill is
in operation.

For slower coffee deli­very and a creamier cof­fee, turn one click
towards "1" (finer
ground coffee).

For more rapid coffee
delivery (not in drops),
turn one click towards
"7" (coarser ground cof­fee).

N.B.!

These adjustments will only be evi­dent after at least two cups of coffee have been
made.

Making espresso coffee using
coffee beans

Important!

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

1. Fill the container with coffee beans (fig. 12).

2. Place under the coffee spouts:

- one cup, if you want one coffee (fig. 13);

- two cups, if you want two coffees (fig. 14);

3. Lower the spouts as near as possible to the

cup. This makes a creamier coffee (fig. 15).

4. Press the icon corresponding to the number

of coffees required (one cup or two cups

) (fig. 9 and 16).

5. Preparation begins. A progress bar appears

on the display and gradually advances as the

procedure progresses (fig. 17).
Once the coffee has been made, the appliance is
ready to use again.

N.B.!

• While the machine is making coffee, delivery

can be interrupted at any moment by pressing

the lit cup icon.

• At the end of delivery (when the progress bar

is complete), to increase the quantity of coffee

in the cup, just press (within 3 seconds) one

of the coffee icons ( or ) until the

required quantity is reached.

• For a hotter coffee, before delivery rinse the

appliance through by pressing the icon

and confirming with the OK icon. Hot water

flows out of the coffee spouts and heats the

internal circuit of the machine so that the cof-

fee delivered will be hotter.

• For an even hotter coffee, heat the cups by

rinsing them with the hot water.

• If the coffee is delivered in drops, too fast and

not creamy enough or too cold, read the tips

in the "Troubleshooting" section on page 43.

Making long coffee using coffee
beans

N.B.!

When this function is activated, a

long coffee similar to drip coffee is obtained.

Important!

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

35

GB

halfway through delivery.

Making espresso or long coffee
using pre-ground coffee

Important!

• Never add pre-ground coffee when the machi­ne is off or it could spread through the inside
of the machine and dirty it.

• Never use more than one level measure or it
could dirty the inside of the machine or block
the funnel.

N.B.!

- coffee spouts (A20) and hot water nozzle
(A11),

- pre-ground coffee feed funnel (A8),

- inside the machine, accessible after opening
the service door (A19),

- infuser (A12),

- milk container (B)

- control panel (C)

Important!

• Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or
alcohol to clean the coffee maker. With
De'Longhi superautomatic coffee makers, you
need not use chemical products to clean the
machine. The descaler recommended by
De'Longhi is made from natural and comple­tely biodegradable substances.

• None of the components of the appliance can
be washed in a dishwasher with the exception
of the milk container (B).

• Do not use metal objects to remove encrusta­tions or coffee deposits as they could scratch
metal or plastic surfaces.

Cleaning the coffee grounds
container

When "EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER" is displa­yed, the grounds container must be emptied and
cleaned. Until the grounds container has been
cleaned, the appliance continues to display the
message and coffee cannot be made.
To clean:

• open the service door on the front of the
appliance (fig. 36), extract the drip tray (fig.

37), empty and clean.

• Empty the grounds container and clean tho­roughly to remove all residues left on the bot­tom.

Important!

when removing the drip tray,
the grounds container must be emptied, even if it
is not completely full.

38

If this is not done, when you make the next cof­fees, the grounds container may fill up more than
expected and clog the machine.

Cleaning the drip tray

Important!

If the drip tray is not emptied
regularly, the water could overflow from the edge
and seep inside or around the machine. This could
damage the machine, the surface it rests on or the
surrounding area.

The drip tray is fitted with a level indicator (red)
showing the level of water it contains (fig. 38).
Before the indicator protrudes from the cup tray,
the drip tray must be emptied and cleaned.

To remove the tray:

1. Open the service door (fig. 36);

2. Remove the drip tray and the grounds contai-

ner (Fig. 37);

3. Empty the drip tray and grounds container

(A18) and wash them;

4. Replace the drip tray complete with grounds

container (A18);

5. Close the service door.

Cleaning the water tank

1. Clean the water tank (A13) regularly (about

once a month) with a damp cloth and a little
mild washing up liquid.

2. Clean to remove all washing up liquid resi-

dues, then rinse the water tank thoroughly.

Cleaning the coffee nozzles

1. Clean the nozzle periodically using a sponge

or cloth (fig. 39).

2. Check regularly that the holes in the coffee

spout are not blocked.
If necessary, remove coffee deposits with a
toothpick (fig. 40).

Cleaning the pre-ground coffee
feed funnel

• Check regularly (about once a month ) that

the pre-ground coffee funnel is not blocked.
If necessary, remove coffee deposits with a
knife.

Danger of electric shock!

Before perfor­ming any cleaning operations, the machine must
be turned off and disconnected from the mains
power supply. Never immerse the coffee maker in
water.

Cleaning the inside of the machine

1. Check regularly (about once a week) that the
inside of the machine is not dirty. If neces­sary, remove coffee deposits with a knife and
sponge.

2. Remove the residues with a vacuum cleaner
(fig. 41).

Cleaning the infuser

The infuser must be cleaned at least once a
month.

Important!

The infuser (A8) must not be
removed when the appliance is on. Do not attempt
to use force to remove the infuser as this could
damage the machine.

1. Make sure the machine is correctly turned off

(see Turning off).

2. Open the service door (fig. 36);

3. Remove the drip tray and grounds container

(fig. 37);

4. Press the two red release buttons inwards and

at the same time pull the infuser outwards
