Perfect dose
Too much coffee Too little coffee
After grinding coffee for the first time, turn the dial gradually,
starting from the
"min" position (see following figure) until
you reach the correct quantity, depending on the type of coffee.
The ideal position is within the sector shown in grey in the fol-
lowing figure.
By adjusting this dial, you can adapt the grinding to any type of
coffee and to wear of the burrs over time.
4.6 Grinding adjustment over time
Over time, the burrs will wear down and the quantity of ground
coffee will dimish. If you are unable to achieve the ideal quan-
tity of coffee outlined in section "4.4 Adjusting the quantity of
ground coffee in the filter" even after turning the dial (B2) to
+ position, contact De'Longhi Customer Service who will guide
you to reach the perfect dose again (see "www.delonghi.com").
5. COFFEE DELIVERY
5.1 Beverage selection
1. Turn the mode selector dial (B8) to select the desired coffee
(see section "5.4 Coffee beverages").
2. If you use the 2 cup filter (C3), press the "2X" button (B3).
5.2 Delivering the coffee
1. Attach the portafilter (C1) to the appliance. To attach cor-
rectly, align the portafilter handle with "INSERT" (fig. 10),
then turn the handle to the right until it is aligned in the
"CLOSE" position;
2. Place the cup or cups under the portafilter spouts;
3. If you are using small cups, lower the cup grille (A10) to
bring the portafilter spouts nearer the cup. This makes a
better crema (fig. 20);
4. Using the dial (B8), select the desired beverage.
5. Press the "OK" button. The appliance makes the coffee then
stops automatically.
Please note: While the machine is making coffee, delivery can
be interrupted at any moment by pressing the "OK" button. To re-
move the portafilter, turn the handle from right to left.
Danger of burns
•
To avoid splashes, never remove the portafilter while the appli-
ance is delivering coffee. Wait for a few seconds after delivery.
•
If no coffee is delivered, then wait for about 1 minute be-
fore removing the portafilter. There could be a puff of steam
caused by the residual pressure inside the appliance.
5.3 Pressure gauge
The pressure gauge enables you to check that pressure is correct
while the coffee is being delivered (fig. 21).
While making ESPRESSO coffee, the indicator will initially be in
the "pre-infusion" sector and will then rotate to the "optimal
zone" during delivery.
For more information, see section "16. How to make perfect
coffee".
Important:
•
The pressure gauge only operates while coffee beverages are
being made. If you are preparing hot water "
steam function, the pressure gauge indicator does not move.
•
If the indicator goes on the red sector (over-pressure level):
- be sure that the coffee filter is thoroughly cleaned;
- check the quantity of ground coffee in the filter: never ex-
ceed the mark impressed in the filter (perfect dose).
