Making Espresso Coffee - DeLonghi EC950 Instructions For Use Manual

• Place a container under the filter holder.
• Press the (B6) button. The appliance delivers water
from the filter holder. Repeat this operation 5 times.
• Put a jug with cold water under the steam wand (A5) and
do an 'autosteaming' (fig. 6) (see the Autosteaming para-
graph).
Please note: Never operate the machine without water in the
water tank or without the tank.
The appliance has a water levels sensor.
If while brewing the selected beverage, the
light blinks, the water in the water tank is running out. It is pos-
sible to complete the delivery of the selected beverage.
The (B2) indicator turns on when the water tank is empty.
Fill the water tank with fresh water.
It is normal for there to be water in the space under the tank.
This should therefore be dried regularly with a clean sponge.
