PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS
Check after transport
After the packaging has been removed, check the integrity of the appliance and the presence of all accessories.
Do not use the appliance in the presence of obvious
damage. Contact the De’Longhi After-Sales Service.
Installing the appliance
The following safety measures must be complied with
when installing the appliance:
• The appliance could be damaged by the penetration
of water.
Do not position the appliance near to water 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 can fall below freezing
point.
• Position the power supply cable in a way that it cannot be damaged by sharp edges or by contact with
hot surfaces (e.g. electric plates).
Connecting the appliance
Attention! Make sure that the electric mains volt-
age corresponds with that indicated on the data
plate on the base of the appliance.
• Only connect the appliance to correctly installed
socket with minimum rating of 10A and efficient
earthing.
• In the case of incompatibility between the socket
and the plug on the appliance, have the plug replaced by a qualified technician.
• The power supply cable on this appliance must
never be replaced by the user as special tools are
needed for this operation. Contact an After-Sales
Centre authorised by the manufacture if the cable is
damaged or must be replaced, in order to avoid all
risks.
Filling the water tank
1. Open the water tank lid (fig. 1) and then lift the tank
to remove it (fig. 2).
2. Fill the tank with fresh water but do not pass MAX.
(g. 3). Re-position the tank by pressing it lightly in
a way to open the valve situated on the base of the
tank itself.
3. Even easier, do not remove the tank, just fill it by
pouring in water from a jug.
Attention: do not operate the appliance without
water in the tank and always fill it when the water
is a few centimetres from the bottom.
Nota Bene: it is normal to find water in the
compartment under the tank; dry using a clean
sponge.
HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE
Pre-heating the coffee machine
It is advised to pre-heat the coffee machine as follows
in order to obtain an espresso coffee at the right temperature:
1. Press the ON/OFF button (the relative indicator light
switches on) (fig. 4) and attach the empty filterholder to the machine (fig. 5).
2. Place a cup under the filter-holder. Use the same
cup in which the coffee is to be served so that it can
be pre-heated.
3. Wait until the OK light comes on (fig. 6) and then
press the coffee button straight away (fig. 7). Allow
the water to run until the OK light switches off and
then stop the water by pressing the coffee button
again (fig. 7).
4. Empty the cup, wait for the “OK” light to switch on
again and repeat the same operation again.
(It is normal for a small, harmless puff of steam to be
released when the filter-holder is removed).
HOW TO PREPARE THE ESPRESSO USING
GROUND COFFEE
1. After having pre-heated the machine as described
in the previous paragraph, insert the ground coffee filter into the filter-holder, making sure that the
projection is correctly inserted into the relative seat
as indicated in fig. 8. Use the smallest filter for one
coffee or the larger one to make two cups of coffee.
2. To prepare one coffee, fill the filter with a level
measuring spoon of ground coffee, about 7gr. (fig.
9). If you wish to prepare two cups of coffee, ll the
filter with two less-than-level measuring spoons
of ground coffee (about 6+6 gr). Fill the filter with
small amounts at a time to prevent the coffee spilling out.
Attention: for correct use, before filling the filter
with ground coffee always make sure there is no
residual coffee in the filter from the previous infusion.
3. Distribute the ground coffee evenly and press it
lightly using the coffee tamper (fig. 10).
