10. WATER SOFTENER FILTER CERTAIN MODELS ONLY
Certain models are tted with a water softener lter (C4). If this
is not the case with your model, you are recommended to purchase one from De’Longhi Customer Services.
Important:
• Keep in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight.
• After opening the packaging, use the lter at once.
• Remove the lter before descaling the machine.
To use the lter correctly, follow the instructions below.
10.1 Installing the lter
1. Take the lter (C4) out of its packet and rinse under about
0.5 litre of running water (g. 8)
2. Turn the date indicator disk until the next two months of
use are displayed (g 9).
Please note:
The lter lasts about two months if the appliance is used normally. If the coee machine is left unused with the lter installed, it will last a maximum of three weeks.
3. Extract the tank (A9) from the appliance and ll with water
(g. 1A).
4. Insert the lter in the water tank and immerse it completely, sloping it to enable the air bubbles to escape (g. 10).
5. Insert the lter into the lter housing and press as far as it will
go (g.11).
6. Close the tank with the lid (g. 12), then replace the tank
in the machine.
7. Place a container with a minimum capacity of 500 ml
under the cappuccino maker (A18).
8. Turn the steam dial (A19) to the I position to deliver hot
water.
9. Deliver at least 500 ml of hot water, then turn the hot
water/steam dial back to the 0 position.
Please note:
Occasionally one delivery of hot water is not enough to install
the lter and the
lights will come on
during installation.
If this happens repeat the installation procedure from point 8.
The lter is now active and you can use the coee machine.
10.2 Removal and replacement of the water
softener lter
After two months (see date indicator disk), or if the appliance
has not been used for 3 weeks, the lter (C4) must be removed
from the tank (A9) and replaced with a new one. Then the installation procedure above must be repeated.
11. MAKING COFFEE
11.1 Selecting the coee taste
Turn the coee taste selection dial (B9) to set the required taste.
Turning it clockwise increases the quantity of coee beans the
appliance will grind and therefore the strength of the coee
obtained.
Turn the dial to MIN for an extra mild coee and to MAX for an
extra strong coee.
12
Please note:
• The rst time you use the appliance, you will need to make
a number of coees to identify the correct dial position
through trial and error.
• Do not turn the dial too far towards MAX, otherwise the
coee may be delivered too slowly (a drop at a time), particularly when making two cups of coee at the same time.
11.2 Selecting the quantity of coee in the cup
The appliance is set by default to automatically make the following quantities of coee:
- short coee when the button (B3) is pressed (≃40ml);
- long coee when the button (B8) is pressed
(≃120ml);
- two short coees when the
button (B4) is pressed;
- two long coees when the
button (B9) is pressed.
To change the quantity of coee the appliance delivers automatically into the cup, proceed as described below:
- press the button corresponding to the quantity to be modied and hold it down until the light ashes and the appliance starts delivering coee, then release;
- when the coee in the cup reaches the desired level, press
the same button again to memorise the new amount.
The machine is now reprogrammed with the new quantities.
11.3 Adjusting the coee mill
The coee mill is set by default to prepare coee correctly and
should not require regulating initially.
However, if after making the rst few coees you nd that the
coee is either too weak and not creamy enough or delivery is
too slow (a drop at a time), this can be corrected by adjusting
the grinding adjustment dial (A2) (g. 13).
Please note:
The grinding adjustment dial (A2) must only be turned when
the coee mill is in operation.
If the coee is delivered too slowly or
not at all, turn one click clockwise.
For fuller bodied creamier coee, turn
one click anticlockwise (do not turn
more than one click at a time otherwise the coee could be delivered a
drop at a time).
These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of
coee have been delivered. If this adjustment does not obtain
the desired result, turn the dial another click.
11.4 Setting the temperature
To modify the temperature of the water used to make the coee,
proceed as follows:
1. With the appliance o and the main switch in the I position
(g. 3), press the
button (B3) and hold it down until
the lights on the control panel come on;
2. Press the
button to select the required temperature:
LOW HIGH
3. Press the button (B8) to conrm the selection. The
lights go o.
11.5 Tips for a hotter coee
For hotter coee, you should:
• before delivering the coee, perform a rinse cycle by press-
ing the button (B5). Hot water is delivered from
the spouts, heating the internal circuits of the appliance
and thus raising the coee temperature;
• warm the cups with hot water (using the hot water
function).
• set a hotter coee temperature (see the section “Setting
the temperature”).
11.6 Making coee using coee beans
Important!
Do not use caramelised or candied coee beans as they could
stick to the coee mill and damage it.
1. Fill the container (A7, g. 14) with coee beans.
2. Place under the coee spouts (A12):
- 1 cup, if you want to make 1 coee (g. 15);
- 2 cups, if you want 2 coees (g. 16).
3. Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup. This makes
a creamier coee (g. 17).
4. Press the button corresponding to the required coee:
13
5. Preparation begins and the light corresponding to the selected button ashes on the control panel.
Once the coee has been made, the appliance is ready to make
the next drink.
Please note:
• While the machine is making coee, delivery can be interrupted at any moment by pressing one of the coee
buttons.
• At the end of delivery, to increase the quantity of coee
in the cup, just press one of the coee icons (within 3
seconds).
Please note:
For hotter coee, see the section “11.5. Tips for a hotter
coee”.
Important!
• If the coee is delivered a drop at a time, too weak and not
creamy enough or too cold, read the tips in the section “20.
Troubleshooting”.
• Lights may be displayed on the control panel during use.
Their meaning is given in the section “19. Explanation of
the lights.
11.7 Making coee using pre-ground coee
Important!
• Never place coee beans in the pre-ground coee funnel
as this could damage the appliance.
• Never add pre-ground coee when the machine is o or it
could spread through the inside of the machine and dirty
it. This could damage the appliance.
• Never use more than 1 level
measure or it could dirty the
inside of the coee machine or
block the funnel.
Please note:
When you use pre-ground coee, you can only make one cup of
coee at a time.
1. Make sure the appliance is on.
2. Turn the coee taste selection dial (B6) anticlockwise as far
as it will go to the
position (g. 18).
3. Make sure the funnel is not blocked, then add one level
measure (C2) of pre-ground coee (g. 19).
4. Place a cup under the coee spouts (A12).
5.
Press the corresponding 1 cup coee button ( B3 or
B8).
6. Preparation begins.
12. MAKING CAPPUCCINO
Danger of burns!
During preparation steam is given o. Take care to avoid scalds.
1. When preparing cappuccino, make the coee in a large
cup;
2. Fill a container (preferably one with a handle to avoid
scalding) with about 100 ml of milk for each cappuccino.
In choosing the size of the container, bear in mind that the
milk doubles or triples in volume;
Please note:
For a richer denser froth, use skimmed or partially skimmed
milk at refrigerator temperature (about 5°C). To avoid milk
with poor froth or large bubbles, always clean the cappuccino maker (A18) as described in the section “Cleaning the
cappuccino maker after use”.
3. Press the
button (B7). The light ashes.
4. Immerse the cappuccino maker in the milk container (g.
20).
5. After a few seconds, when the light ashes, turn the
steam dial (A19) to the I position (g. 5). Steam is delivered from the cappuccino maker, giving the milk a creamy
frothy appearance and making it more voluminous;
6. For a creamier froth, rotate the container with slow movements in an upward direction. (You should not deliver
steam for more than 3 minutes at a time);
7. When you have obtained the required froth, stop steam
delivery by turning the steam dial back to the 0 position.
Danger of burns!
Stop steam delivery before removing the container with
the frothed milk to avoid burns caused by splashes of boiling milk.
8. Add the milk froth to the coee prepared previously. The
cappuccino is ready. Sweeten to taste and, if desired, sprinkle the froth with a little cocoa powder.
12.1 Cleaning the cappuccino maker after use
Always clean the cappuccino maker (A18) after use to avoid the
build-up of milk residues and prevent the spouts from clogging.
1. Place a container under the cappuccino maker and deliver
a little water for a few seconds by rotating the steam dial
(A19) to the I position (g. 5). Then turn the steam dial to
the 0 position to stop the ow of hot water.
2. Wait a few minutes for the cappuccino maker to cool down.

hand and with the other rotate the cappuccino maker anticlockwise (g. 21), then remove by pulling downwards.
3. Also remove the steam connection nozzle by pulling it
downwards (g. 22).
4. Make sure the two holes shown by the arrow in g. 23 are
not blocked. If necessary, clean using a toothpick.
5. Wash all parts of the cappuccino maker thoroughly with a
sponge and warm water.
6. Reinsert the nozzle, then replace the cappuccino maker
on the nozzle, turning it and pushing it upwards until it is
attached.
13. HOT WATER
Danger of burns!
Never leave the machine unattended while delivering hot water.
The hot water spout becomes hot while water is being delivered
and must be handled by the handle only.
1. Place a container under the cappuccino maker (A18) (as
close as possible to avoid splashes).
2. Turn the steam dial (A19) to the I position. Delivery begins.
3. Stop by turning the steam dial to the 0 position.
Please note:
If “Energy Saving” mode is active, you may have to wait a few

- coee spouts (A12);
- cappuccino maker (A18);
- pre-ground coee funnel (A6);
- infuser (A11), accessible after opening the service door
(A10);
- control panel (A1).
Important!
• Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to clean
the coee machine. With De’Longhi superautomatic coee
machines, you need not use chemical products to clean the
machine.
• None of the components can be washed in a dishwasher.
• Do not use metal objects to remove encrustations or coee
deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces.
14.2 Cleaning the machine’s internal circuit
If the appliance is not used for more than 3-4 days, before
using it again, we strongly recommend switching it on and
performing:
• 2/3 rinse cycles by pressing the
button (B5);
• delivering hot water by turning the hot water/steam dial
(A19) to the I position.
Please note:
• After cleaning, it is normal for the grounds container (A13)
to contain water.
14.3 Cleaning the coee grounds container
When the light ashes, the coee grounds container must
be emptied and cleaned. Unless you clean the grounds container, the light will continue to ash and the appliance cannot be
used to make coee.
To clean (with the machine on):
• Remove the drip tray (A17) (g. 24), empty and clean.
• Empty the grounds container (A13) and clean thoroughly
to remove all residues left on the bottom.
• Check the red condensate tray (A14) and empty if
necessary.
Important!
When removing the drip tray, the grounds container must al-
ways be emptied, even if it contains few grounds.
If this is not done, when you make the next coees, the grounds
container may ll up more than expected and clog the machine.
14.4 Cleaning the drip tray and condensate tray
Important!
If the drip tray is not emptied regularly, the water could overow 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 tted with a level indicator (A16) (red) showing the level of water it contains (g. 25). Before the indicator
protrudes from the cup tray, the drip tray must be emptied and
cleaned.
To remove the drip tray:
1. Remove the drip tray (A17) and the grounds container
(A13) (g. 24);

21. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS UK ONLY
Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage indicated on the product corresponds with the main voltage in your home, if you are in any doubt
about your supply contact your local electricity company.
The exible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug having a fuse of 13 amp capacity.
Should this plug not t the socket outlets in your home, it should be cut o and replaced with a suitable plug, following the procedure outlined
below.
Note: Such a plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be properly disposed of and not left where children might nd it and
plug it into a supply socket - with the obvious consequent danger.
N.B. We recommend the use of good quality plugs and wall sockets that can be switched o when the machine is not in use.
IMPORTANT: the wires in the mains lead tted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:
GREEN AND YELLOW EARTH
BLUE NEUTRAL
BROWN LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:
- The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth
symbol
or coloured green or green and yellow.
- The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
- The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the mains lead clamp on the
plug. If your electricity supply point has only two pin socket outlets, or if you are in doubt, consult a qualied electrician.
Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be carried out by a qualied electrician and should only be replaced
with a exible cord of the same size.
After replacement of a fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be retted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is
obtained. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the fuse recess or elsewhere on the plug. Always
state this colour when ordering a replacement fuse cover. Only 13amp replacement fuses which are asta approved to B.S. 1362 should be tted.
This appliance conforms to the Norms EN 55014 regarding the suppression of radio interference.
