· The first time you use the appliance, you need to make 4-5 cappuccinos before the results in the cup will be satisfactory. · The first time you use the machine, the water circuit is empty and the appliance could be very noisy. The noise becomes less as
the circuit fills. · Possible traces of coffee in the grinder are the result of settings tests performed on the appliance before sale, proof of the metic-
ulous care and attention we invest in our products. · We recommend you install the water filter supplied immediately. After two months (see date indicator) or when the appliance
has not been used for 3 weeks, the filter should be replaced even if the message has not yet appeared. · Customize water hardness as soon as possible (section “12. Measuring water hardness”).

8.5 Tips for a hotter coffee To make a hotter coffee, proceed as follows: · perform a rinse cycle (see paragraph “8.4 Rinsing

“); · use warmed cups (i.e. rinse them with hot water before
use) · increase the coffee temperature (see section “15. Settings
menu”).

8.6 Adjusting the coffee grinder The coffee grinder is set by default to prepare coffee correctly and should not require regulating initially. To adjust, while the coffee grinder is in operation, turn the dial as follows:

If the coffee is over-extracted, delivery too slowly or not at all, you need a more coarse ground setting. This adjustment will not take effect until at least 2 cups of coffee have been delivered.

Turn one click towards “7”

If the coffee is underextracted, delivery too fast and has no crema, you need a finer ground setting. This adjustment will not take effect until at least 2 cups of coffee have been delivered.

Turn one click towards “1”

Please note: The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned when the coffee grinder is in operation during the initial phase of coffee preparation.

10.1 Preparing the milk container To open the milk container lid: 1. Release the lid by turning it clockwise. The line on the lid
must be aligned with the symbol; 2. Then lift the lid. Which milk to use? · For a richer, denser froth, use skimmed or partially
skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature (about 5°C). To avoid producing milk with poor froth or large bubbles, always clean the Lattecrema System after use. · The quality of the froth may vary depending on: · the type of milk or vegetable beverage; · the brand used; · the ingredients and nutritional values. How much milk to add to make the directly selected beverages? There is a graduated scale on the milk container to help you add the ideal quantity for the recipe. Remember that:

To close the milk container lid again: 1. Insert the lid (the line on the lid must be aligned with the
symbol); 2. Turn the lid towards the symbol until it clicks in place.

10.2 Select the coffee strength or pre-ground

coffee

Once the milk container has been prepared, before select-

ing the desired milk beverage, you can customize the coffee

strength as described in paragraph “8.3 Varying the coffee

strength”. Alternatively, you can select pre-ground coffee and

then add one measure of coffee (

19. DESCALING

To descale

Descaler

De’Longhi descaler

Container

Recommended capacity: 67.62 fl oz / 2 l

Time

~45min

· Before use, read the instructions and the labeling on the descaler pack. · Use De’Longhi descaler only. Using unsuitable descaler and/or performing descaling incorrectly may result in faults not covered
by the manufacturer’s guarantee. · Descaler can cause damage to delicate surfaces. If the product is accidentally spilt, dry immediately.

Important: If the water softener filter is installed, it must be removed before adding the descaler solution. Put the filter back in the machine after the first tank of rinsing has been completed.

Please note:

· Once the descaling cycle has begun, it cannot be interrupted and must be completed with the entire rinse cycle.

· If the descaling cycle is not completed correctly (e.g. electrical power failure), when switched on again, the machine resumes the

cycle starting from the interrupted step: refer to the strength indicator lights;

· After descaling, it is normal for the grounds container to contain water.

· If the water tank has not been filled to the MAX level after descaling, the appliance prompts for a third rinse to ensure that the

descaler solution has been completely eliminated from the machine’s internal circuits. Before starting rinsing, remember to

empty the drip tray.
