you turn it on again, we strongly recommend performing
2/3 rinses before use;
• After cleaning, it is normal for the grounds container (A13)
to contain water.
12. MAKING COFFEE USING COFFEE BEANS
12.1 Selecting the coee taste
Turn the coee taste selection dial (B6) to set the required taste.
Turning clockwise increases the quantity of coee beans that
will be ground by the machine and consequently the strength
of the coee.
Turn the dial to MIN for an extra mild coee and to MAX for an
extra strong coee.
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.
12.2 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 (A5) (g. 13).
Please note:
The grinding adjustment dial 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 towards 7.
For fuller bodied creamier coee, turn
one click anticlockwise towards 1 (do not
turn more than one click at a time other-
wise the coee could be delivered a drop
at a time).
The eect of the adjustment will be noticed only after making
a further 2 cups of coee, at least. If this adjustment does not
produce the desired result, turn the dial another click.
12.3 Tips for a hotter coee
For hotter coee, proceed as follows:
• perform a rinse cycle by pressing the button (B5);
• warm the cups with hot water using the hot water function
(see section “15. Delivering hot water”);
10
Page 6
• increase the coee temperature (see section “9. Setting the
temperature”).
12.4 Coee delivery
Important!
Do not use green, caramelised or candied coee beans as they
could stick to the coee mill and make it unusable.
1. Fill the container (A4) with coee beans (g. 14);
2. Place under the coee spouts (A11):
- 1 cup, to make 1 coee (g. 15);
- 2 cups, to make 2 coees.
3. Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup. This makes
a creamier coee (g. 16);
4. Then select your required coee:
Recipe Quantity Programma-
ble quantity
≃ 40 ml
≃ 40 ml + 40 ml
≃ 180 ml
from ≃20 to
≃ 120ml
from ≃40 to
≃ 240ml
from ≃100 to
≃ 240ml
• If the coee is delivered a drop at a time, too weak and not
creamy enough or too cold, read the tips in section “21.
Troubleshooting”.
13. MAKING COFFEE USING PREGROUND COFFEE
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 machine.
• Never use more than 1 level measure (C2) as it could soil the inside
of the coee machine or block the
funnel (A4). Given the quantity of
coee used, it is not advisable to prepare “ 2x Espresso” (B3), “ Coee” (B8) or (certain models only)
“ Doppio+” (B9).
Please note:
When using pre-ground coee, only one cup can be made 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.

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 grams of milk for each cappuccino. When choosing the appropriate size of container, remember that the milk doubles or triples in volume;
Please note:
For a richer and denser froth, use skimmed or partially skimmed
milk from the refrigerator (about 5°C). To avoid producing milk
with poor froth or large bubbles, always clean the cappuccino
maker as described in the section “16. Cleaning”.
3. Models with adjustable cappuccino maker only:
Make sure the cappuccino maker selection ring (A20) is positioned downwards in the "CAPPUCCINO" position (g. 18);

the milk a creamy frothy appearance and making it more
voluminous;
8. For a creamier froth, swirl the container slowly, moving it
from the bottom upwards. (Steam should not be generated by the machine for more than 3 minutes continuously).
9. When you have obtained the required froth, stop steam
delivery by turning the dial to the "0" position.
Danger of burns!
Interrupt steam delivery before removing the container with the
frothed milk to avoid burns caused by splashes of boiling milk.
10. 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.
Please note!
If “Energy saving” is active, you may have to wait a few seconds
before steam is delivered.
14.1 Cleaning the cappuccino maker after use
Clean the cappuccino maker (A18) each time you use it to avoid
the build-up of milk residues or blockages.
Danger of burns!
When cleaning the cappuccino maker, a little hot water is delivered. Take care to avoid contact with splashes of hot water.

Clean the infuser without using washing up liquid as it
could be damaged.
6. Use the brush to remove any coee residues left in the infuser housing, visible through the infuser door;
7. After cleaning, replace the infuser by sliding it onto the
internal support, then push the PUSH symbol fully in until
it clicks into place;
Please note:
If the infuser is dicult to insert, before insertion, adapt it to the
right size by pressing the two levers (g. 29).
8. Once inserted, make sure the two coloured buttons have
snapped out;
9. Close the infuser door;
10. Put the water tank back.
17. DESCALING
Descale the appliance when the light on the control panel
ashes.
Important!
• Descaler contains acids which may irritate the skin and
eyes. It is vital to respect the manufacturer’s safety warnings given on the descaler pack and the warnings relating
to the procedure to follow in the event of contact with the
skin and eyes.
• It is important to use De’Longhi descaler only. Using unsuitable descaler and/or performing descaling incorrectly
may result in faults not covered by the manufacturer's
guarantee.
1. Turn the appliance on and wait until it is ready for use.
2. Empty the water tank (A7) and remove the water softener
lter (C4) (if present).
3. Pour the descaler (C3) into the water tank up to the level A
(corresponding to a 100ml pack) marked on the back of the
tank (g. 30), then add water (1 litre) up to level B (g. 30).
4. Place an empty container with a minimum capacity of 1
litre under the cappuccino maker (A18) and coee spouts
(A11) (g. 31).
5. Press and hold the button (B5) for at least 5 seconds
to conrm that you have added the solution and begin the
descaling procedure. The light in the button remains
on steadily to indicate that the descaling programme has
begun. The light ashes telling you to turn the steam
dial to the l position.
Important! Danger of scalding
Hot water containing acid ows from the hot water/steam and
coee spouts. Take care to avoid contact with splashes of hot
water.
6. Turn the steam dial (A21) a half turn anticlockwise to the I
position. The descaler solution ows out of the cappuccino
maker into the underlying container.
The descaling programme automatically performs a series
of rinses and pauses to remove all the scale. It is normal for
several minutes of inactivity to elapse between rinses.
After about 25 minutes, the water tank is empty and the
and lights ash. Turn the steam dial clockwise as far as it
will go to the 0 position.
7. The appliance is now ready for rinsing through with clean
water. Empty the container used to collect the descaler
solution. Extract the water tank, empty, rinse under running water, ll with fresh water up to the MAX level and
put back in the appliance: the light ashes.
8. Place the container used to collect the descaler solution
empty under the cappuccino maker and coee spouts (g.
31).
9. Turn the steam/hot water dial to the I position to begin
rinsing. Hot water is delivered rst from the cappuccino
maker, to continue and end with the coee spouts.
10. When the water tank is completely empty, the and
lights ash on the control panel. Turn the steam/hot
water dial to the 0 position.

11. Empty the container used to collect the rinsing water. Remove the water tank, replace the water softener lter (if
removed previously), ll the tank up to the MAX level with
cold water and insert in the appliance. The steam
light ashes.
12. Place the container used to collect the rinsing water empty
under the cappuccino maker;
13. Turn the steam/hot water dial to the I position. Rinsing
continues from the cappuccino maker only.
14. When it nishes, the steam light ashes on the control panel. Turn the steam/hot water dial to the 0 position.
15. Top up the water tank with fresh water to the MAX level
and put back in the machine.
The descaling cycle is now complete.
Please note!
• If the descaling cycle is not completed correctly (e.g. no
electricity) we recommend repeating the cycle;
• After descaling, it is normal for the grounds container
(A13) to contain water;
• If the water tank has not been lled to the MAX level, at
the end of descaling, the appliance requests a third rinse to
guarantee that the descaler solution has been completely
eliminated from the machine's internal circuits.
18. SETTING WATER HARDNESS
Descaling is necessary after a period of operation established
according to the water hardness set.
The machine is set by default for a hardness level of 4. The machine can also be programmed according to the hardness of the
mains water in the various regions so that the machine needs to
be descaled less often.
18.1 Measuring water hardness
1. Remove the “TOTAL HARDNESS TEST” indicator paper (C1)
from its pack (attached to the English instructions);
2. Immerse the paper completely in a glass of water for one
second;
3. Remove the paper from the water and shake lightly. After
about a minute, 1, 2, 3, or 4 red squares form, depending
on the hardness of the water. Each square corresponds to
one level;
