INTRODUCTION

Dear customer,

You are now the proud owner of a fine DeLonghi Coffee Maker, you can enjoy traditional coffee, or experience the taste of delicious espresso or cappuccino at the end of a perfect meal with family or friends. All this is possible with one compact unit.

The enclosed material has been carefully prepared, to familiarize you completely with the operation of this machine.

Please read all instructions fully before attempting to operate this appliance.

BECOME FAMILIAR

Before using your DeLonghi coffee maker for the first time, it is important that you become familiar with all of its parts. Do this by means of a practice run. DO NOT PLUG IN.

Unscrew the reservoir cap of the espresso/cappuccino maker, turn the steam control knob on and off, place the filter in the filter holder, and position it in the boiler outlet. For the automatic drip coffee maker, raise the water reservoir cover, remove the filter holder and replace. Become familiar with your appliance.

USE OF THE MACHINE

THIS MACHINE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

This appliance is provided with a safety stopper which prevents the stopper itself from opening accidentally when the machine is operating under pressure. To unscrew this stopper, you must let out all the internal pressure by rotating the steam knob and turning the flow regulator to the LIGHT setting.

Before use

Before using the machine for the first time, wash all accessories (filter-holder, measuring spoon, filter, carafe, adapter if fitted, milk tank) with detergent and warm water, then rinse thoroughly. The internal circuit should then be washed as follows:

Filling the water tank

•Unscrew the water tank cap by turning counter-clockwise.

•Use the glass carafe (fig. 1) to fill the water tank (fig. 2). Always switch the machine off and remove the plug from the socket before filling the water tank.

Do not overfill the water tank. The espresso carafe is marked with water levels for 2 cups (minimum) and 4 cups (maximum) (see table, page 11).

Important: When making cappuccino, add extra water to the steam level shown on the carafe for two cups and to the bottom of the metal band for four cups. Care should be taken to ensure that the correct quantity of water is placed in the tank, as the machine always uses all the water.

•Close the water tank cap securely by turning clockwise.

Pre-wash

•Plug the appliance into the wall socket (remember the safety instructions).

•Fit the filter to the filter-holder (fig. 3).

•To fit the filter-holder to the machine, place the filter-holder underneath the boiler nozzle (fig. 4); push the filter-holder upwards and, at the same time, turn it to the right.

The handle of the filter-holder does not have to be straight when it is attached to the machine. What is important is that it is inserted securely.

•Place the carafe under the filter-holder. Ensure that the spout is aligned with the hole in the carafe lid (fig. 5).

•Turn the flow regulator towards the “LIGHT” position.

•Press the “Espresso/Cappuccino ON/OFF” switch. The pilot lamp will light (fig. 6).

•Check that the steam knob is in the “closed” position.

The water is heated in about 2 minutes, and will then begin to flow from the filter holder nozzle. When all the water has been delivered, press the “Espresso/Cappuccino ON/OFF” switch to turn the machine off.
