4. BEFORE USE

4.1 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.

4.2 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.
• Water penetrating the coffee maker 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 cord in such a way that it cannot be damaged
by sharp edges or contact with hot surfaces (e.g. electric
hot plates).

4.3 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.

4.4 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.
• The appliance is set with ENGLISH language: if you want to
change the language, please see paragraph "7.11 Setting
the language".
• You should customise water hardness as soon as possible
following the instructions in section "13.2 Setting water
hardness".
1. Connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply (fig.
1) and make sure the main switch (A19) at the back of the
appliance is pressed down (fig. 2).
2. Remove the water tank (A16) (fig. 3), open the lid (A18)
(fig. 4), fill to the MAX line with fresh water (fig. 5), replace
the lid and put the tank back in the appliance.
Follow the instructions indicated on the appliance display:
3. "INSERT WATER SPOUT": Check that the hot water spout
(C6) is inserted on the connection nozzle (A8) and place a
container holding a minimum of 33,38 fl.oz/100 ml under-
neath (fig. 8).
4. "HOT WATER Press OK" is displayed;
5. Press the OK button to confirm. The appliance delivers
water from the spout then goes off automatically.
The coffee machine is now ready for normal use.
Please note!
• When setting up the appliance, you need to make 4-5 cups
of coffee or 4-5 cappuccinos before the appliance 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 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 "14. WATER SOF-
TENER FILTER". If your model is not provided with a filter,
you can request one from De'Longhi Customer Services.
