5. BEFORE USE
5.1 Checking the appliance
After removing the packaging, make sure the product is com-
plete and undamaged and that all accessories are present. Do
not use the appliance if it is visibly damaged. Contact De’Longhi
Customer Services.
5.2 Installing the appliance
Important!
When you install the appliance, you should respect the following
safety warnings:
• The appliance gives off heat. After positioning the appli-
ance on the worktop, leave a space of at least 3 cm between
the surfaces of the appliance and the side and rear walls
and at least 15 cm above the coffee maker.
• Water penetrating the appliance could cause damage.
• Do not place the appliance near taps or sinks.
• The appliance could be damaged if the water it contains
freezes.
• Do not install the appliance in a room where the tempera-
ture could drop below freezing point.
• Arrange the power 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 a correctly installed and efficiently
earthed 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
electrician.
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 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 “20. Setting water
hardness”.
1. Plug the power cord (C8) connector into the socket (A20) at
the back of the appliance and connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply (fig. 1). Make sure the main switch
(A21) at the back of the appliance is pressed (fig. 2);
2. "SELECT LANGUAGE": press the flag corresponding to the
required language;
Follow the instructions indicated on the appliance display:
3. "FILL TANK WITH FRESH WATER": remove the water tank
(A16) (fig. 3), open the lid (A15) (fig. 4), fill to the MAX line
with fresh water (fig. 5), close the lid and put the tank back
in the appliance (fig. 6);
4. "Insert water spout": Check that the hot water/steam spout
(C6) is inserted on the connection nozzle (A9) (fig. 7) and
place a container holding a minimum of 100 ml under-
neath (fig. 8);
5. "WATER CIRCUIT EMPTY PRESS OK TO START FILLING PRO-
CESS" appears on the display;
6. Press "
" to confirm. The appliance delivers water
from the spout (fig. 8) then goes off automatically.
The coffee machine is now ready for normal use.
Please note!
• The first time you use the coffee machine, you need to
make 4-5 cups of coffee or 4-5 cappuccinos before it starts
to give satisfactory results.
• When making the first 5-6 cappuccinos, it is normal to hear
the noise of boiling water. After this, the noise becomes
less.
• To improve the performance of your appliance, we recom-
mend installing a water softener filter (C4) as described
in section “21. Water softener filter”. If your model is not
provided with a filter, 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
(A21) is pressed (fig. 2).
Each time the appliance is turned on, it performs an automatic
preheat and rinse cycle which cannot be interrupted. The appli-
ance 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
(A8) and is collected in the drip tray (A14) underneath. Avoid
contact with splashes of water.
• To turn the appliance on, press the
button (A7-fig.
9). The message "HEATING UP UNDERWAY PLEASE WAIT"
appears on the display.
When heating is complete, the message changes to: "RINSING
UNDERWAY, HOT WATER FROM SPOUTS". As well as heating
the boiler, this also heats the internal circuits by circulating hot
water.
The appliance is at temperature when the main screen (home-
page) appears.
