Preliminary checks

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 appliance 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 applian- ce 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 19.

1. Plug the appliance into the mains socket and make sure the main switch on the back of the appliance is 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 but- 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.“INSERT WATER SPOUT!”: Check that the hot water spout is inserted on the nozzle and place a container with a minimum capacity of 100 ml underneath (fig. 4).

5.“Hot water... Confirm?” is displayed;

6.Press the button to confirm. The ap- pliance delivers water from the spout then goes off automatically.

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.

•When making the first 5-6 cappuccinos, it is normal to hear the noise of boiling water. After this, the noise diminishes.
