Setting up the appliance

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 section "17. Setting water
hardness".
1. Plug the power cord (C8) connector into the socket (A20) at
the back of the appliance and connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply (fig. 1). Make sure the main switch
(A21) at the back of the appliance is pressed (fig. 2);

sponding to the required language;
Follow the instructions indicated on the appliance display:
3. "FILL TANK WITH FRESH WATER": remove the water tank
(A16) (fig. 3), open the lid (A15) (fig. 4), fill to the MAX line
with fresh water (fig. 5), close the lid and put the tank back
in the appliance (fig. 6);
4. "INSERT WATER SPOUT": Check that the hot water/steam
spout (C6) is inserted on the connection nozzle (A9) (fig. 7)
and place a container holding a minimum of 100 ml under-
neath (fig. 8);

the display;

ers hot water from the hot water spout (fig. 8) then goes

Please note!
• The first time you use the coffee maker, you need to make
4/5 cups of coffee or 4/5 cappuccinos before it 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 becomes
less.
• To improve the performance of your appliance, we recom-
mend installing a water softener filter (C4) as described in
section .
If your model is not provided with a filter, you can request
one from De'Longhi Customer Services.
