DeLonghi DC500 instruction manual Before First USE, Know Your Coffee Maker

BEFORE FIRST USE

Place the box on a large, sturdy flat surface. Carefully unpack your coffee maker and remove all packaging material and literature. Remove any labels or stickers from the coffee maker. To remove any dust that may have accumulated during packaging, you may wipe the unit with a clean, damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the coffee maker in water or other liquid. Clean the carafe, carafe lid, filter basket and filter in warm water with mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. (See “Cleaning Your Coffee Maker” section of this manual for detailed instructions.) Keep all plastic bags away from children.

NOTE: We recommend that prior to brewing your first pot of coffee, operate the coffee maker once or twice with water only, without ground coffee. This will remove any dust that may have settled inside the coffee maker, which may affect the flavor of the coffee. IMPORTANT: Use cold water only. The automatic drip system works best with cold water.
