in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility
for examination, repair or adjustment. · The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock, or
personal injury. · Do not use outdoors. · Make sure the power cord does not
hang over the edge of the table or counter-top to avoid getting accidentally
caught or entangled. · Do not place the appliance or its electrical parts on
or near electric stoves, cooking surfaces, or gas burners. · Plug cord into
the wall outlet. To disconnect, first turn machine”off”, then remove plug from
wall outlet. · Do not use the appliance for other than the intended use. This
appliance is to be utilized for domestic use only. The manufacturer declines
all responsibility for any damage caused by improper, incorrect, or
irresponsible use.

over.
– Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a
plug having one blade wider
than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This
is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If
the plug should still fail to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized
plug.

· 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.

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.
