Checking the appliance

After removing the packaging, make sure the
product is complete and undamaged and that all
accessories are present. Do not use the applian-
ce if it is visibly damaged. Contact De'Longhi
Customer Services.

Installing the appliance

Important!
When installing the appliance, respect the fol-
lowing safety warnings:
• The appliance gives off heat. After positio-
ning the appliance on the worktop, leave a
space of at least 3 cm between the surfaces
of the appliance and the side and rear walls
and at least 15 cm above the coffee maker.
• Water penetrating the coffee maker could
cause damage. Do not place the appliance
near taps or sinks.
• The appliance could be damaged if the water
it contains freezes.
Do not install the appliance in a room where
the temperature could drop below freezing
point.
• Arrange the power cable in such a way that it
cannot be damaged by sharp edges or con-
tact with hot surfaces (e.g. electric hot pla-
tes).

Connecting the appliance

Important!
Check that the mains power supply voltage cor-
responds to the value indicated on the rating pla-
te on the bottom of the appliance.
Connect the appliance to an efficiently 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 ap-
pliance 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 water hardness" on
page 17.
1. Plug the appliance into the mains socket and
place the main switch on the back of the ap-
pliance in the I position (fig. 1).
You must first choose the language (the langua-
ges scroll through at intervals of about 3 secon-
ds).
2. When "English" appears, press the
ton (fig. 2) for a few seconds until "ENGLISH
installed" is displayed.
Follow the instructions displayed by the applian-
ce:
3. "FILL TANK!": remove the water tank, fill to
the MAX line with fresh water (fig. 3A) then
replace in the appliance (fig. 3B).
4. Place a container with a minimum capacity of
100 ml under the cappuccino maker (fig. 4).
5. "TURN STEAM KNOB": turn the knob to the
"I" position (fig. 4). "HOT WATER... CON-
FIRM?" is displayed;
6. Press the
pliance delivers water from the cappuccino
maker then goes off automatically.
7. Turn the steam knob to the "0" position.
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 appliance starts to
give satisfactory results.
• To enjoy your coffee even more and improve
the performance of your appliance, we re-
commend installing a water softener filter as
described in the section "WATER SOFTENER
FILTER". If your model is not provided with
a filter, you can request one from De'Longhi
Customer Services.
