Installation - DeLonghi Coffee maker Manual

ICM100 USA 10-04-2003

INSTALLATION

• Place the appliance on a work surface far
away from water taps and basins.
• Before use, make sure the outlet voltage corre-
sponds to the voltage indicated on the rating
plate on the appliance. Connect the appliance
to a correctly-grounded power outlet (minimum
rating 10A) only. The manufacturer declines all
liability for any accidents due to the incorrect
grounding of the appliance.
• Never install the machine in environments
where the temperature may reach 0°C (32°F)
or lower (the appliance may be damaged if the
water freezes).
• The control panel can be rotated; this allows
the controls to be easily accessible at all times.
CHLORINE FILTER
The filter eliminates the taste of chlorine from the
water. To install the filter, proceed as follows :
• Remove the chlorine filter from the plastic bag
and rinse in tap water.
• Lift the water tank lid and remove the filter
holder from its housing by pulling upwards
(fig. 1).
• Open the holder by pressing in the area
marked "PUSH" and place the filter carefully in
the holder as indicated in fig. 2.
• Close the holder and replace in its housing by
pressing downwards as far as it will go.
• After 80 cycles or six months of operation, the
chlorine filter must be replaced.
SETTING THE TIME (FIG. 3)
When first started, the display shows the message
"12:00".
To set the exact time, proceed as follows:
• Press the "HR" and hold it for 2 seconds; press
the "HR" button and hold it for 2 seconds; the
display shows the right hour.
• Press the "HR" and the "MIN" buttons until the
display shows the right hour.
By holding the corresponding buttons, the hour or
the minutes scroll faster.
HOW TO PREPARE THE DRIP COFFEE
• Lift the lid and remove the water tank (Fig. 4).
• Fill the tank with fresh, clean water up to the
level corresponding to the number of cups of

coffee required (Fig. 5).
• Place the tank back in the coffee maker, press-
ing it lightly. The tank may also be filled with-
out being removed, using the carafe marked
with the level indicators (Fig. 6).
• Open the filter holder by rotating towards the
right (fig. 7).
• Position the permanent filter (if fitted) in the fil-
ter holder (fig. 8). In other versions, use the #4
paper filter.
• Place the ground coffee in the filter, using the
measuring spoon supplied, and level evenly
(Fig. 9). As a general rule, use a level measur-
ing spoon of ground coffee (around 7 grams)
for each cup (for example, 8 spoons to make 8
cups). If you prepare 11-12 cups, reduce the
quantity of coffee and never exceed a maxi-
mum of 11 level spoons. The quantity of
ground coffee used may, however, be varied
according to personal taste. Use good quality,
medium ground coffee, packaged for drip cof-
fee makers.
• Close the filter holder and place the carafe on
the warming plate with the lid on. Make sure it
is center.
• Choose the desired flavor as indicated in the
paragraph "How to choose the flavor".
• Press the "ON/OFF" button (Fig. 10). The ON
pilot light above the switch indicates that the
coffee maker is in operation.
To activate the AUTO function, press the corre-
sponding button (9): the light (10) will come on
(Fig. 11).
• The delivery of coffee can be optimized by
varying the percolation time based on the
number of cups being prepared. To do this,
press and hold for about 2 seconds the "CUPS"
button; the display will show a dot next to the
number of cups selected (1-6 or 7-12). Press
the "CUPS" button once again to change the
selection. Then release the button; the dot
flashes for 5 seconds then the dot shows the
selection.
• The coffee will start to come out after a few sec-
onds. It is completely normal for the appli-
ance to release a little steam while the coffee
is percolating.
• If the "ON/OFF" switch is left in the ON posi-
tion after percolation, the warming plate will
