INSTALLATION

•After removing the packaging, make sure the pro- duct is complete and in perfect condition. If in doubt, do not use the appliance and contact quali- fied De’Longhi personnel only.

•The packing elements (plastic bags, Styrofoam, etc.) should be kept out of the reach of children, as they are safety hazards.

•Place the appliance on a firm level surface far from water faucets, sinks, and heat sources.

•When positioning the appliance on the counter, make sure to leave a space of at least 2 in. (5 cm) between the appliance and the walls or objects beside and behind it, and at least 8 in. (20 cm) above it.

•Never install the appliance in a room where the temperature may reach 32°F (0°C) or lower (the appliance may be damaged if the water freezes).

•Check that the voltage of the electrical mains corre- sponds to the voltage shown on the appliance rating plate.

Connect the appliance only to an efficiently groun- ded outlet with a minimum rating of 10A only. The manufacturer may not be considered liable for pos- sible incidents caused by failure to adequately ground the outlet.

•If the power socket does not match the plug on the appliance, have the socket replaced with a suitable type by a qualified electrician.

•The power cord on this appliance must not be replaced by the user, as this operation requires the use of special tools. If the cable is damaged or needs to be replaced, contact an authorized De’- Longhi service center only in order to avoid all risks.

SETTING THE CLOCK

Plug the appliance in; when the coffee machine is connected to the outlet for the first time, “AM 0:00” appears on the display. To set the time, press the SET CLOCK button (fig. 1) and keep it pressed until the correct hour is displayed: then release the but- ton. The time can be set at any moment.

HOW TO MAKE DRIP COFFEE

IMPORTANT: When using the appliance for the first time, all the accessories and the internal cir- cuits must be washed making at least two cara- fes using only water, without any ground coffee.

•Open the frontal door by pulling the handle and, by using the provided carafe, pour fresh water into the water compartment up to the level corresponding to the number of cups you want to make (fig. 2): check the water level viewer and it is suggested to use the provided carafe as the measure, as the maximum volu- me of the carafe corresponds to those of the water tank (fig. 3).

•Position the permanent filter (if provided) or paper filter in the filter holder (fig. 4).

•Place the ground coffee in the filter using the measuring spoon supplied and level evenly (fig. 5). Please refer to chart 1 for the recom- mended quantities.

Use good quality medium grind coffee for drip coffee machines.
