3.2 Installing the appliance
Important!
When you install the appliance, you should respect the follow-
ing safety warnings:
• 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 maker.
• Do not place the appliance near taps or sinks. Water pene-
trating the appliance could cause damage.
• The appliance could be damaged if the water it contains
freezes. Do not install the appliance in a room where the
temperature could drop below freezing point.
• Arrange the power cord (A10) in such a way that it cannot
be damaged by sharp edges or contact with hot surfaces
(e.g. electric hot plates).
3.3 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.
3.4 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
coffee in the mill. The machine is, however, guaranteed to
be new.
• You should customise water hardness as soon as possible
following the instructions in section “18. Setting water
hardness”.
Proceed as described:
1. Plug the appliance into the mains socket and make sure
the main switch (A6) on the back of the appliance is in the
I
position (fig. 1).
2. The
light flashes on the control panel (B). Remove
the water tank (A7) (fig. 2), fill to the MAX line with fresh
water (fig. 3A) then put back in the appliance (fig. 3B).
3. The
button (B4) (fig. 4) flashes on the control panel.
4. Place a container with a minimum capacity of 100 ml
under the cappuccino maker (A18) (fig. 5).
5. Turn the steam/hot water dial (A21) to the "I" position (fig.
6). The beverage buttons flash and water is delivered from
the cappuccino maker.
6. When delivery stops automatically, turn the steam dial
back to the "
O
" position.
The appliance goes off.
To use it, press the
button (B7) (fig. 7).
Please note:
• The first time you use the appliance, you need to make 4-5
cups of coffee before the appliance starts to give satisfac-
tory 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 section “10. Water sof-
tener filter”. If your model is not provided with a filter, you
can request one from De'Longhi Customer Services.
4. TURNING THE APPLIANCE ON
Please note:
• Before turning the appliance on, make sure the main
switch (A6) on the back of the appliance is in the
I
position
(fig. 1).
• Make sure the steam/hot water dial (A21) is in the 0
position.
• Each time the appliance is turned on, it performs an auto-
matic preheat and rinse cycle which cannot be interrupted.
The appliance is ready for use only after completion of this
cycle.
Danger of burns!
During rinsing, a little hot water comes out of the coffee spouts
(A11) and is collected in the drip tray (A14) underneath. Take
care to avoid contact with splashes of hot water.
• To turn the appliance on, press the
button (B7) (fig.
7). The “coffee” buttons (B2), (B3), (B8) and (B9) flash on
the control panel (B) to indicate the appliance is heating
up.
While heating up, the machine performs a rinse cycle. As well
as heating the boiler, this also heats the internal circuits by cir-
culating hot water.
The appliance is at temperature when the coffee buttons on the
control panel remain on steadily.
5. 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
(A11). Take care to avoid contact with splashes of hot water.
• To turn the appliance off, press the
button (B7) (fig.
7);
