• The appliance gives off heat. After positioning the appli-
ance on the worktop, leave a space of at least 3 cm be-
tween the surfaces of the appliance and the side and rear
walls and at least 15 cm above the coffee machine.
• Water penetrating the coffee machine could cause
damage.
Do not place the appliance near taps or sinks.
• Arrange the cord in such a way that it cannot be damaged
by sharp edges or contact with hot surfaces (e.g. electric
hot plates).
5.3 Connecting the appliance
Important!
Check that the mains power supply voltage corresponds to that
indicated on the rating plate on the bottom of the appliance.
Connect the appliance to an efficiently earthed and correctly
installed socket with a minimum current rating of 10A only.
If the power socket does not match the plug on the appliance,
have the socket replaced with a suitable type by a qualified
professional.
5.4 Setting up the appliance
Please note:
• Coffee has been used to factory test the appliance and it is
therefore completely normal for there to be traces of cof-
fee in the mill. The machine is, however, guaranteed to be
new.
• You should customise water hardness as soon as possible
following the instructions in the section: “16. Setting water
hardness”.
Proceed as described:
1. Remove the water tank (A9), fill to the MAX line with fresh
water (fig. 1A) then put back in the appliance (fig. 1B).
2. Place a container with a minimum capacity of 100 ml
under the cappuccino maker (A18) (fig. 2).
3. Plug the appliance into the mains socket and place the
main switch (A8) on the back of the appliance in the
I
posi-
tion (fig. 3).
4. The light flashes on the control panel (B7, fig. 4).
5. Turn the steam dial (A19) to the
I
position (fig. 5). Water is
delivered from the cappuccino maker, then the appliance
goes off.
6. Turn the steam dial to the
0
position.
The coffee machine is now ready for normal use.
Please note:
• The first time you use the coffee maker, you need to make
4/5 cups of coffee or 4/5 cappuccinos before it starts to give
satisfactory results.
• To enjoy your coffee even more and improve the perfor-
mance of your appliance, we recommend installing a water
softener filter (C4) as described in the section “10. WATER
SOFTENER FILTER”. If your model is not provided with a fil-
ter, you can request one from De’Longhi Customer Services.
6. TURNING THE APPLIANCE ON
Please note:
• Before turning the appliance on, make sure the main
switch (A8) on the back of the appliance is in the
I
position
(fig. 3).
• Each time the appliance is turned on, it performs an auto-
matic preheat and rinse cycle which cannot be interrupt-
ed. The appliance is ready for use only once this cycle is
complete.
Danger of burns!
During rinsing, a little hot water comes out of the coffee spouts
(A12) and is collected in the drip tray underneath. Avoid contact
with splashes of water.
• To turn the appliance on, press the
button (B2, fig.
6). The
light flashes while the appliance is heating up
and performing an automatic rinse cycle. By circulating hot
water, the appliance heats both the boiler and the internal
circuits.
The appliance is at temperature when the light goes off and
the coffee lights come on.
7. TURNING THE APPLIANCE OFF
Whenever the coffee machine is turned off after being used to
make coffee, it performs an automatic rinse cycle.
Danger of burns!
During rinsing, a little hot water flows from the coffee spouts
(A12).
Avoid contact with splashes of water.
To turn the appliance off, press the
button (B2, fig. 6). The
appliance performs a rinse cycle then goes off.
Please note:
If the appliance is not used for an extended period, place the
main switch (A8) in the
0
position (fig. 3).
Important!
To avoid damaging the appliance, do not place the main switch
(fig. 3) in the
0
position until you have turned the appliance off
with the
button.
