INSTALLATION
• After removing the packaging, make sure the pro-
duct is complete and in perfect condition. If in
doubt, do not use the appliance and contact quali-
fied De’Longhi personnel only.
• The packing elements (plastic bags, Styrofoam,
etc.) should be kept out of the reach of children, as
they are safety hazards.
• Place the appliance on a firm level surface far from
water faucets, sinks, and heat sources.
• When positioning the appliance on the counter,
make sure to leave a space of at least 2 in. (5 cm)
between the appliance and the walls or objects
beside and behind it, and at least 8 in. (20 cm)
above it.
• Never install the appliance in a room where the
temperature may reach 32°F (0°C) or lower (the
appliance may be damaged if the water freezes).
• Check that the voltage of the electrical mains corre-
sponds to the voltage shown on the appliance
rating plate.
Connect the appliance only to an efficiently groun-
ded outlet with a minimum rating of 10A only. The
manufacturer may not be considered liable for pos-
sible incidents caused by failure to adequately
ground the outlet.
• If the power socket does not match the plug on the
appliance, have the socket replaced with a suitable
type by a qualified electrician.
• The power cord 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
needs to be replaced, contact an authorized De’-
Longhi service center only in order to avoid all
risks.
SETTING THE CLOCK
Plug the appliance in; when the coffee machine is
connected to the outlet for the first time, “AM 0:00”
appears on the display. To set the time, press the
SET CLOCK button (fig. 1) and keep it pressed until
the correct hour is displayed: then release the but-
ton. The time can be set at any moment.
HOW TO MAKE DRIP COFFEE
IMPORTANT: When using the appliance for the
first time, all the accessories and the internal cir-
cuits must be washed making at least two cara-
fes using only water, without any ground coffee.
• Open the frontal door by pulling the handle
and, by using the provided carafe, pour fresh
water into the water compartment up to the
level corresponding to the number of cups you
want to make (fig. 2): check the water level
viewer and it is suggested to use the provided
carafe as the measure, as the maximum volu-
me of the carafe corresponds to those of the
water tank (fig. 3).
• Position the permanent filter (if provided) or
paper filter in the filter holder (fig. 4).
• Place the ground coffee in the filter using the
measuring spoon supplied and level evenly
(fig. 5). Please refer to chart 1 for the recom-
mended quantities.
Use good quality medium grind coffee for drip
coffee machines.
*1 level measuring spoon = a tablespoon
(0.17 oz. /5 gr.).
Use more or less coffee to suit your taste.
The
Specialty Coffee Association of America
recommends adding 2 tablespoons of coffee
per 6 ounces of water. So, if you want to fol-
low this standard, please refer to chart 2.
Please note that coffee brewed following
SCAA's recommendation is exceptionally
strong.
