    Measure out the coffee into the filter: for two coffees use two full measures and for one coffee, one measure. The Thermocream® system has been specially designed to best meet all of the consumer’s needs, and is made up of two compo- nents: the Thermocream® filter (I) and the Thermocream® disk (H) that can be used in the following ways: - By putting them both into the filter holder, you get a cup of cof- fee with finer cream (Fig. 4b) - By using only the filter (I), you get a cup of coffee with higher cream (Fig. 4a) Insert the filter holder into its position. Turn the filter holder anticlockwise 40 to 45 degrees as far as it is possible, without using excessive pressure (Fig. 3). A preheating time of 8/10 minutes is suggested, with the filter ring inserted so this too can be heated as to ensure a nice, hot first cup of coffee. For subsequent coffees this will not be necessary. The coffee indicator light (R) will go on and off from time to time, indicating that the boiler thermostat is keeping the water at the right temperature. We suggest that both the first and the subse- quent coffees only be made when this light goes out. Press the central button (Q). Coffee will begin to flow the filter Coffee Maker EC160 Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 Fig. 4a Fig. 4b...

  • Page 8 - To obtain a more concentrated and hotter coffee a more finely ground blend must be used. In any case this problem can be eliminated by using the Thermocream® Disc which always ensures an extremely hot coffee and a rich cream, even with coarsely ground coffee. How to make tea or tisanes After having carried out the operations described under chapter BEFORE USE, place a cup under the nozzle (D) and press the coffee supply switch (S), then immediately turn knob (O); in this way hot water will pour from the nozzle. The maximum quantity for two cups is 200 ml. Decalcification of the coffee maker The coffee maker requires regular decalcification. The frequency depends on the quality of the water used and the amount the maker is used. In any case, it is strongly advised that you decalcify the coffee maker every 800 uses,(or about every 6 months). Use DURGOL, available at De’Longhi Authorised Assistance Centres (see also website www. durgolswissespresso.com). Proceed as follows: - Dissolve the contents of the packet in 1 l. of water and pour the solution into the tank to be cleaned. - Turn on the machine, leave the filter holder inserted, press the Coffee Maker EC160...
  • Page 9 The flexible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug having a fuse of 13 amp capacity. Should this plug become damaged it should be cut off and replaced with a suitable plug, following the proce- dure outlined below. Note: Such a plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be properly disposed of, (having removed the fuse) and not left where children might find it and plug it into a supply socket - with the obvious consequent danger. N.B. We recommend the use of good quality plugs and wall sockets that can be switched off when the machine is not in use. this appliance must be Green and Yellow to Earth Blue to Neutral Coffee Maker EC160 Warning earthed 13 amp Fuse Brown to Live Cord Clamp...

    Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be carried out by a qualified electrician and should only be replaced with a flexible cord of the same size. If the plug is a moulded-on type the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained.The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the fuse recess or elsewhere on the plug. Always state this colour when ordering a replacement fuse cover. Only 13amp replacement fuses which are asta approved to B.S. 1362 should be fitted. This appliance conforms to the Norms EN 55014 regarding the sup- pression of radio interference.
