litre of water (about half the tank);

10. Extract the water tank (A17) (fig. 3), rinse and fill with fresh

clean water, taking care not to exceed the MAX level (fig. 4)

The appliance is ready for use.

Please note:

We also recommend rinsing the internal circuits if the appliance is not

used for a long period.

4. ACTIVATING THE WATER SOFTENER FILTER

Certain models are fitted with a water softener filter (C6). If this
is not the case with your model, you are recommended to pur-
chase one from De’Longhi Customer Services.
To use the filter correctly, follow the instructions below.
1. Remove the filter from the packaging;
2. Turn the date indicator disk (fig. 14) until the next 2 months

of use are displayed;

Please note:

The filter lasts about two months if the appliance is used normally. If

the coffee machine is left unused with the filter installed, it will last a maximum of 3
weeks.

3. To activate the filter, run tap water through the hole in the

filter (fig. 15) until water comes out of the openings at the
side for more than a minute;

4. Extract the tank (A17) (if necessary fill with water);
5. Insert the filter in the water tank and immerse it complete-

ly for about ten seconds, sloping it and pressing it lightly to
enable the air bubbles to escape (fig. 16);

6. Place the filter in the filter housing (A18) (fig. 17) and press

as far as it will go. Close the tank, then put the tank back
in the machine;

The filter is now active and the coffee machine can be used.

tablished according to water hardness. The machine can also
