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
voltage corresponds with that indicated on the
data plate on the base of the appliance.
• Only connect the appliance to a correctly installed
socket with a minimum rating of 10A and correctly
earthed.
• 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. Please refer to enclosed guarantee leaflet
for details
filling the water tank
• Remove the water tank by pulling sideways and
raising the intake tubes (fig. 1).
• Rinse and fill with clean cold water till level Max
(fig 2). Checking the water level is facilitated by
a floating ball. Replace the tank in the housing,
making sure the tubes are in the water (fig. 3).
• More simply, fill the tank by extracting it just enough
to pour in the water directly 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.

pre-heating the coffee machine
Please Note:
Before using the appliance to make
coffee, rinse the internal piping thoroughly,
operating it as you would to make coffee, until
two tanks of water have emptied; then proceed
with making coffee.
To obtain espresso coffee at the right temperature, the
coffee machine must be preheated. You are therefore
recommended to press the ON/OFF button (fig. 4)
at least 15 minutes before preparing the coffee, heating
the filter holder at the same time by making sure it is
attached to the appliance. To attach the filter holder,
position it under the boiler outlet with the handle
towards the left (fig. 5), push it upwards while at the
same time rotating the handle towards the right. Rotate
firmly. Wait for 15 minutes, then make the coffee as
described in the following section. Alternatively, you
can preheat more rapidly by proceeding as follows:
1. Press the ON/OFF button (fig. 4) and attach the filter
holder to the appliance without adding ground coffee.
2. Place a cup under the filter holder. Use the same
cup as will be used to prepare the coffee in order to
preheat it.
3. Wait for the OK (coffee ready) light to come on (fig.
6), then immediately press the coffee button (fig.
7). Run the water off until the OK (coffee ready)
light goes out, then interrupt delivery by pressing
the coffee button again (fig. 7).
4. Empty the cup, detach the filter holder and empty
out the hot water. (It is normal for a small and
harmless puff of steam to be given off when
removing the filter holder).
maKInG an eSpreSSo uSInG Ground
coffee
1. After preheating the appliance as described above,
place the ground coffee filter in the filter holder,
making sure the projection is correctly inserted
in the slot as shown in fig. 8. For appliances with
two filters, use the smallest for one coffee and the
largest for two coffees.
2. To prepare a single coffee, fill the filter with a level
measure of ground coffee, about 7 grams. (fig. 9).
To prepare two coffees, place two loosely filled
