HOW to Make Coffee, Keeping the Coffee HOT

4.Use a fine drip grind coffee - that is recommended for automatic drip coffee makers.

5.The warming plate heats up when the drip coffee maker is switched ON. Avoid touching it, and never allow the power cord to come into contact with it.

6.The amount of freshly brewed coffee delivered after the brewing process will always be slightly less than the amount of water poured into the reservoir. This is due to the absorption of some water by the ground coffee. Therefore put in a little more water to begin with.

HOW TO MAKE COFFEE

1.Remove the carafe from the recessed warming plate. Grasp the handle, lift it up, slide the carafe straight out. Open the lid, and fill the carafe with cold water to the desired level (fig. 18).

2.Open the drip coffee reservoir cover, and pour the water into the reservoir. Close the lid of the carafe and place carafe on warming plate.

3.Swing out the filter holder as per fig. 19.

4.Place paper filter into the filter holder (fig. 20). We recommend # 4 cone style filters.

5.Measure coffee into the filter, using the handy measuring spoon provided (fig. 21). Measure slightly less than one level spoon of ground coffee for every cup of water measured into the reservoir. Personal tastes differ. Experiment with varying amounts of coffee, until the desired strength is reached. Replace filter holder.

6.Plug the coffee maker.

7.Push the ON/OFF drip coffee switch to the ON position (fig. 22). The red light indicates that the machine is operating.

8.The carafe rests on a warming plate that will keep your coffee at serving temperature. Turn switch to the OFF position if carafe is empty.

At the end of the brewing cycle, the coffee maker will create some steam and start puffing. This is normal and to be expected.

KEEPING THE COFFEE HOT

The coffee is kept warm on a warming plate which begins to heat up when the drip coffeemaker is switched on and will keep the coffee hot until the coffeemaker is switched off.

BREWING SMALL AMOUNT OF COFFEE

If you wish only 5 coffees, the 5/10 coffee switch must be released before switching on the appliance (fig. 23). Set in this position (light off), hot water flows slower through the ground coffee in order to reach an optimum brewing result. With the 5/10 coffee switch depressed the appliance will work at normal speed.

DRIP-INTERRUPTION FEATURE

This special feature is for the person who can’t wait for all of the coffee to be brewed, especially when making 8-10 cups. When carafe is half-filled, remove the carafe and serve. Replace carafe. The flow of coffee into carafe will resume.

To prevent coffee from overflowing from the filter holder during the brewing cycle, the carafe should be immediately returned to the warming plate after pouring.

SIMULTANEOUS USE OF THE DELONGHI COFFEE MAKER

CAUTION: If you plan to prepare coffee and espresso at the same time, make sure that you start preparing the drip coffee first.

Always be present when the espresso/cappuccino part of the machine is in the ON position and make sure that it is turned OFF immediately after preparing espresso or cappuccino.
