10. WATER SOFTENER FILTER
(CERTAIN MODELS ONLY)
Certain models are fitted with a water softener filter (C4). If this
is not the case with your model, you are recommended to pur-
chase one from De’Longhi Customer Services.
Important:
• Keep in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight.
• After opening the packaging, use the filter at once.
• Remove the filter before descaling the machine.
To use the filter correctly, follow the instructions below.
10.1 Installing the filter
1. Take the filter (C4) out of its packet and rinse under about
0.5 litre of running water (fig. 8)
2. Turn the date indicator disk until the next two months of
use are displayed (fig 9).
Please note:
The filter lasts about two months if the appliance is used nor-
mally. If the coffee machine is left unused with the filter in-
stalled, it will last a maximum of three weeks.
3. Extract the tank (A9) from the appliance and fill with water
(fig. 1A).
4. Insert the filter in the water tank and immerse it complete-
ly, sloping it to enable the air bubbles to escape (fig. 10).
5. Insert the filter into the filter housing and press as far as it will
go (fig.11).
6. Close the tank with the lid (fig. 12), then replace the tank
in the machine.
7. Place a container with a minimum capacity of 500 ml
under the cappuccino maker (A18).
8. Turn the steam dial (A19) to the
I
position to deliver hot
water.
9. Deliver at least 500 ml of hot water, then turn the hot
water/steam dial back to the
0
position.
Please note:
Occasionally one delivery of hot water is not enough to install
the filter and the
lights will come on
during installation.
If this happens repeat the installation procedure from point 8.
The filter is now active and you can use the coffee machine.
10.2 Removal and replacement of the water
softener filter
After two months (see date indicator disk), or if the appliance
has not been used for 3 weeks, the filter (C4) must be removed
from the tank (A9) and replaced with a new one. Then the in-
stallation procedure above must be repeated.
11. MAKING COFFEE
11.1 Selecting the coffee taste
Turn the coffee taste selection dial (B9) to set the required taste.
Turning it clockwise increases the quantity of coffee beans the
appliance will grind and therefore the strength of the coffee
obtained.
Turn the dial to MIN for an extra mild coffee and to MAX for an
extra strong coffee.
