Connecting the appliance

Important!
Check that the mains power supply voltage corresponds to
the value indicated on the rating plate on the bottom of the
appliance.
Connect the appliance to an 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.

Using the appliance for the first time

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 the section "Setting the wa-
ter hardness" on page 18.
1. Insert the power cable connector into the socket at the
back of the appliance and connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply (fig. 1). Make sure the main
switch at the back of the appliance is pressed (fig. 2).
Select the desired language by scrolling forwards or backwards
using the HOT MILK or LATTE button, or alternatively waiting
for the language options to scroll automatically on the display
(about every 3 seconds):
2. When "English" appears, press and hold the
button (fig. 3) for a few seconds until "English set" is dis-
played.
Follow the instructions displayed by the appliance:
3. "FILL TANK!": remove the water tank (fig. 4), fill to the
MAX line with fresh water (fig. 5) then replace in the ap-
pliance.
4. "INSERT WATER SPOUT!": Check that the hot water spout is
inserted on the nozzle and place a container with a mini-
mum capacity of 100 ml underneath (fig. 6).
5. "Hot water... Press OK?" is displayed;
6. Press the button to confirm (fig. 3). The appliance
delivers water from the spout then goes off automatically.
The coffee maker is now ready for normal use.
Please note!
• When using the appliance for the first time, you need to
make 4-5 cups of coffee or 4-5 cappuccinos before the ap-
pliance 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 be-
comes less.
• To enjoy your coffee even more and improve the perfor-
mance of your appliance, we recommend installing a
water softener filter as described in the section "INSTALL
FILTER". If your model is not provided with a filter, you can
request one from De'Longhi Customer Services.
