DeLonghi ESAM4400 manual Empty Grounds Container

NOTE 1: If the coffee is delivered a drop at a time or not at all, turn the grinding coarseness regulator (fig. 15) one click clockwise (see section 7).

Turn one click at a time until the coffee is delivered adequately. The grinding coarseness regulator must only be turned when the coffee mill is on.

NOTE 2: If the coffee is delivered too fast and is not creamy enough, turn the grinding coarseness regulator (fig.

15)one click counterclockwise (see section 7). Turn one click at a time until the coffee is delivered adequately. Avoid turning the grinding coarseness regulator excessively otherwise when you select 2 cups, the coffee may run out in drips.

The grinding coarseness regulator must only be turned when the coffee mill is on.

NOTE 3: Tips to make hotter coffee:

• When you turn the appliance on, if you want to make a short coffee (less than 2 oz), use the hot rinse-through water to preheat the cups.

If 2-3 minutes have passed , since you last made coffee, before making coffee again you must preheat

the infuser by pressing the button (fig. 12).

Run off the water into the underlying drip tray or alternatively use this water to fill (and then empty) the cup to be used for the coffee, so as to preheat it.

•Unless preheated, do not use cups that are too thick, as they will absorb too much heat.

•Use cups that have been preheated by rinsing them with hot water or by leaving them for at least 20 minutes on the cup warmer tray on top of the appliance with the appliance on.

NOTE 4: While the appliance is making the coffee, delivery can be stopped at any time by pressing the

, or button as previously selected.

NOTE 5: As soon as delivery is complete, to increase the quantity of coffee, simply press and hold the

, or button as previously selected, until the desired quantity is reached (this operation must be performed within 3 seconds from when coffee delivery from the spouts ceases).

NOTE 6: When the appliance displays:

FILL TANK

the water tank must be refilled or the appliance will not make coffee.

(It is normal for there to be a little water left in the tank when the message is displayed).

NOTE 7: The appliance counts the number of coffees made.

Every 14 single coffees (or 7 doubles) the appliance displays:

EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER

indicating that the grounds container is full and must be emptied and cleaned. Until the grounds container has been cleaned, the appliance continues to display the message and cannot make coffee.

To clean, open the service door at the front by pulling the spout (fig. 13), remove the drip tray (fig. 14), empty and clean.

Empty the grounds container and clean thoroughly, making sure all residue deposited on the bottom are removed.

IMPORTANT: When removing the drip tray, the grounds container MUST be emptied, even if it is not com- pletely full. If this is not done, when making your next coffee, the grounds in the container may exceed the maximum level and block the appliance.
