DeLonghi Magnifica S ECAM 22.320.SB Automatic Coffee Maker Manual

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage indicated on the product corresponds with the main voltage in your home, if you are in any doubt about your supply contact your local electricity company. The flexible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug having a fuse of 13 amp capacity. Should this plug not fit the socket outlets in your home, it should be cut off and replaced with a suitable plug, following the procedure outlined below.
Note: Such a plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be properly disposed of 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.

the wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

• The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol coloured green or green and yellow.
• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter l or coloured red.

When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely retained in each terminal. do not forget to tighten the mains lead clamp on the plug. if your electricity supply point has only two pin socket outlets, or if you are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. 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. after replacement of a fuse in the plug, 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 suppression of radio interference.

this appliance must be earthed

Adjusting the grinder

The coffee mill is set by default to prepare coffee correctly and should not require regulating initially.
However, if after making the first few coffees you find that the coffee is either too weak and not creamy enough or delivery is too slow (in drops), this can be corrected by adjusting the grinding dial (fig. 8).

Please note:

The grinding dial must only be turned while the coffee mill is in operation.

If the coffee is delivered too slowly or not at all, turn one click clockwise. For fuller bodied creamier coffee, turn one click anticlockwise (do not turn more than one click at a time otherwise the coffee could be delivered in drops).

These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of coffee have been delivered.
If this adjustment does not obtain the desired result, turn the dial another click.

Tips for a hotter coffee

For hotter coffee, you should:

• before delivering the coffee, perform a rinse cycle by pressing the button. hot water is delivered from the spout, heating the internal circuits of the appliance and thus raising the coffee temperature;
• warm the cups by rinsing them with hot water (using the hot water function);
• increase the temperature of the coffee in the menu.

Making coffee using coffee beans

Do not use caramelised or candied coffee beans as they could stick to the coffee mill and damage it.

1. Fill the container with coffee beans (fig. 9).
   
2. Place under the coffee spouts:

• 1 cup, if you want to make 1 coffee (fig. 10);
  
• 2 cups, if you want 2 coffees (fig. 11).
  

3. Lower the spout as close as possible to the cup(s). a creamier coffee is obtained in this way (fig. 12).
   
4. Press the button for delivery of the required coffee.
   
5. Delivery begins and the selected quantity and taste are displayed.
