INSTALLATION
• After removing the packaging, make sure the product is complete.
If in doubt, do not use the appliance and contact a
qualified professional.
• The packing elements (plastic bags, polystyrene
foam, etc.) should be kept out of reach of children
as they are a safety hazard.
• Place the appliance on a work surface far away
from water taps, basins and sources of heat.
• After positioning the appliance on the work top,
leave a space of at least 5 cm between the surfaces
of the appliance and the side and rear walls and at
least 20 cm above the coffee maker.
• Never install the appliance in environments where
the temperature may reach 0°C or lower (the
appliance may be damaged if the water freezes).
• Make sure the mains voltage corresponds to the
voltage indicated on the appliance rating plate.
Connect the appliance to an efficiently earthed
socket with a minimum current rating of 10A only.
The manufacturer may not be considered liable for
possible incidents caused by the failure to adequately earth the mains.
• If the power socket does not match the plug on the
appliance, have the socket replaced with a suitable
type by a qualified professional.
• The power cable on this appliance must not be
replaced by the user as this operation requires the
use of special tools.
If the cable is damaged or requires replacing, contact De'Longhi customer services only to avoid all
risks.
The time can be set at any moment.
HOW TO PREPARE DRIP COFFEE
IMPORTANT: the first time the appliance is used,
all accessories and the internal circuits must be
washed through by making at least two jugs of
coffee without using ground coffee.
• Open the door at the front by pulling the handle and use the jug to pour clean cold water into
the water fill compartment up to the level indicated for the number of cups of coffee to be
prepared (fig. 1). Check the level of water in
the tank through the level window. You are
recommended to use the jug provided as a
measure as the maximum capacity of the jug
and the tank are the same (fig. 2).
• Position the permanent filter (if present) in the
filter holder (fig. 3). In versions without permanent filter, use the paper filter.
• Place the ground coffee in the filter, using the
measuring spoon supplied, and level evenly
(fig. 4).
See table 1 for recommended quantities.
Use good quality, medium-ground coffee for
drip coffee makers.
* 1 level measure = 1 tablespoon (5 g)
Increase or reduce the quantity of coffee
according to taste.
The quantities given in the table are indicative
and should be adapted to your personal taste
and the type of coffee.
Never ex ceed the
maximum quantity of 13 measures to
avoid the coffee spilling.
The type of coffee has a considerable influence
on the coffee you make. You should therefore try
various types of coffee to find the one best suited

to your taste.
• Close the door at the front of the appliance and
place the closed jug on the plate (fig. 5).
• Press the "ON/OFF" switch (fig. 6).
The light on the button comes on to indicate
that the drip coffee maker is operating.
• Coffee will start to run off after a few seconds.
It is completely normal for the appliance to
give off steam while the coffee is percolating.
• If you leave the ON/OFF switch pressed after
percolation has finished, the plate will keep the
coffee at the ideal temperature. The appliance
goes off automatically after two hours.
Important: removing the jug before all the coffee
requested is made does not interrupt production of
the coffee, but merely blocks flow into the jug. If
you want to pour out a little coffee immediately,
you are recommended to do so as rapidly as pos-
sible in order to avoid the coffee overflowing.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before maintenance or cleaning of the appliance,
turn off, unplug from the mains socket and allow to
cool.
1. Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents to
clean the coffee maker. A soft damp cloth will
suffice.
2. Never immerse the coffee maker in water. It is
an electrical appliance.
DESCALING
If the water in your area is hard, limescale builds
up over time.
These deposits may affect correct operation of the
appliance.
You are recommended to descale the appliance
after every 300 coffee making cycles. Use special
commercially available descalers for drip coffee
machines.
1. Dilute the product in the jug, following the
instructions on the descaler pack;
2. Pour the solution into the water fill compartment;
3. Place the jug on the warming plate;
4. Press the drip coffee ON/OFF button and run
off the equivalent of one cup, then turn the
appliance off;
5. Leave the solution to work for 15 minutes.
Repeat operations 4 and 5 again.
6. Turn the appliance on and run off the water
until the tank is completely empty.
7. Rinse by operating the appliance with water
only at least three times (three complete tanks
of water).
Failure to clean as described above invalidates the
guarantee.
