To correctly learn how to use the appliance, when starting it for the first time, carefully follow the step-by-step instructions described in the following paragraphs.

USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

1. The first time you use the appliance, select the language.
   To set English, plug the appliance into the outlet socket and wait for the following message to be displayed:
   PRESS OK TO INSTALL THE ENGLISH
   While the message is displayed, press the button (fig. 1) for at least three seconds until the display shows:
   ENGLISH INSTALLED
   The appliance then displays the setting message in English. If you select the wrong language by mistake, follow the instructions in section 17 to choose the right one.

2.  After 5 seconds, the appliance displays:
   FILL TANK
   To fill, remove the tank (fig. 2), rinse and fill with fresh water. Never exceed the MAX line.
   Put the tank back and push as far as it will go.

3. Place a cup under the hot water spout (fig. 3). (If the water spout is not in place, INSERT WATER SPOUT is displayed. Attach it as shown in figure 4, making sure the arrow on the spout is lined up with the arrow on the control panel of the appliance, fig. 4). The appliance now displays:
   PRESS OK

4. Press the OK button (fig. 1) and after a few seconds, a little water will run from the spout (running water stops automatically)

5. The appliance displays:
   TURNING OFF PLEASE WAIT and it goes off.

6. Fill the container with coffee beans (fig. 5).
   IMPORTANT: to prevent malfunction, never fill with ground coffee, freeze-dried coffee, caramelized beans or anything else which could damage the appliance.

TURNING ON AND PREHEATING

1. Press the button (fig. 6). The appliance displays: HEATING UP PLEASE WAIT… to indicate preheating is underway.
2.  Once preheating is completed, the appliance displays

RINSING PLEASE WAIT…
and performs an automatic rinse cycle (a little hot water runs from the spouts and is collected in the drip tray below).
Tip: if you want short coffee (less than 2 oz), to make it hotter, fill the cup with this hot rinsing water first. Leave it for a few seconds then empty it to preheat the cup.

1. The appliance now displays the ready message:

READY STANDARD TASTE

PREPARING COFFEE (USING COFFEE BEANS)

1. The appliance is preset to make coffee with a normal taste. You can also choose coffee with an extra light, light, strong or extra-strong taste. To choose the required taste, press the button (fig. 7). The selected coffee taste will be displayed.

2. Place 1 cup under the spouts to make 1 coffee (fig. 8) or 2 cups for 2 coffees (fig. 9). For a creamier coffee, lower the spouts to bring them as close to the cups as possible (Fig. 10).

3. Press the button to make a short coffee (fig. 11), the button for a normal coffee or the button for a long coffee.
   To make 2 coffees, press the button twice (within 2 seconds).
   To change the quantity of coffee delivered automatically into the cup, follow the instructions in section (The appliance now grinds the beans and starts brewing the coffee into the cup. Once the desired quantity has been reached, the appliance automatically stops delivering the coffee and ejects the grounds into the coffee grounds container).

4. After a few seconds, the ready message is displayed again and you can make another coffee.

To turn the appliance off, press the button.
Before going off, the appliance performs an automatic rinse cycle (a little hot water runs out from the spouts and is collected in the drip tray beneath. Take care to avoid scalds).

NOTE

1. If the coffee is delivered a drop at a time or not at all, turn the grinding coarseness regulator (fig. 12) one click clockwise (see section 8).
   Turn one click at a time until the coffee is delivered adequately.

2. NOTE 2: If the coffee is delivered too fast and is not creamy enough, turn the grinding coarseness regulator (fig. 12) one click counterclockwise (see section 8).
   Avoid turning the grinding coarseness regulator excessively otherwise when you select 2 cups, the coffee may run out in drips.

3. NOTE 3: Tips to make hotter coffee:

   • When you turn the appliance on, if you want to make a short coffee (less than 2 oz), use the hot rinse-through water to preheat the cups.
   • If 2 to 3 minutes have passed since you last made coffee, before making coffee again you must preheat the infuser by pressing the button (fig. 13).
   • Run off the water into the underlying drip tray or alternatively use this water to fill (and then empty) the cup to be used for the coffee, so as to preheat it.
   • Unless preheated, do not use cups that are too thick, as they will absorb too much heat.
   • Use cups that have been preheated by rinsing them with hot water or by leaving them for at least 20 minutes on the cup warmer tray on top of the appliance with the appliance on.

4. NOTE 4: while the appliance is making the coffee, delivery can be stopped at any time by pressing the , or button as previously selected.

5. NOTE 5: as soon as delivery is complete, to increase the quantity of coffee, simply press and hold the , or button as previously selected, until the desired quantity is reached (this operation must be performed within 3 seconds from when coffee delivery from the spouts ceases).

6. NOTE 6: when the appliance displays:
   FILL TANK the water tank must be refilled or the appliance will not make coffee. (It is normal for there to be a little water left in the tank when the message is displayed).

7. NOTE 7: every 14 single coffees (or 7 doubles) the appliance displays:
   EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER
   indicating that the grounds container is full and must be emptied and cleaned.
   Until the grounds container has been cleaned, the appliance continues to display the message and cannot  make coffee.
   To clean, open the service door at the front by pulling the handle (fig. 14), remove the drip tray (fig. 15),  empty and clean.
   Empty the grounds container and clean thoroughly, making sure all residues deposited on the bottom are removed.
   IMPORTANT: when removing the drip tray, the grounds container MUST be emptied, even if it is not completely full. If this is not done, when next making coffee the grounds in the container may exceed the maximum level and block the appliance.

8. NOTE 8: while the appliance is delivering coffee, never remove the water tank. If it is removed, it will not be possible to make the coffee and the appliance will display:

GROUND TOO FINE ADJUST MILL AND INSERT WATER SPOUT AND PRESS OK
To turn the appliance on again, you must insert the water spout (fig. 4), press the button and run off water from the spout for a few seconds.

When using the appliance for the first time, 4-5 cups of coffee need to be made before the appliance starts to give satisfying results.
If the appliance malfunctions, do not contact the service center right away.
The problem can almost always be resolved by following the instructions indicated in paragraphs 18 and 19. If this is not the case, or for further explanations, contact the customer service by calling the number listed in the warranty or visit www.delonghi.com for a list of service centers near you.

Setting water hardness
The descale message is displayed after the appliance has been operated for a factory set period of time calculated on the basis of the maximum quantity of limescale that may be contained in the water used. If necessary, this period of operation can be extended, making descaling less frequent, by programming the appliance based on the actual lime content in the water used. Proceed as follows:

• remove the “Total Hardness Test” strip (enclosed on page 2) from its packaging then dip it fully in the water for a few seconds. Remove it and wait around 30 seconds (until it changes color and a number of red dots are formed);
• Turn the appliance on by pressing the button (fig. 6)
•  Press the MENU’ button then press the NEXT button repeatedly until the appliance displays:

URTER HARDNESS

• Press the CHANGE button repeatedly until the number coincides with the number of red squares on the test strip (for example, if there are 3 red squares on the test strip, press the button until WATER HARD- NESS 3 is displayed).
• Press the OK button to confirm the value; The coffee maker is now programmed to provide the desca- ling warning when necessary, based on the actual hardness of the water.

LIMITED WARRANTY

• What does the warranty cover?
  We warrant each appliance to be free from defects in material and workmanship. Our obligation under this warranty is limited to repair at our factory or authorized service center of any defective parts or part thereof, other than parts damaged in transit. In the event of a product replacement or return, the unit must be returned transportation prepaid. The repaired or new model will be returned at the company’s expense.
  This warranty shall apply only if the appliance is used in accordance with the factory directions, that accompany it, and on an Alternating current ( AC ) circuit.

• How long does the coverage last?
  This warranty runs for one year ( 1 ) from the purchase date found on your receipt and applies only to the original purchaser for use.

• What is not covered by the warranty?
  The warranty does not cover defects or damage of the appliance, which result from repairs or alterations to the appliance outside our factory or authorized service centers, nor shall it apply to any appliance, which has been subject to abuse, misuse, negligence or accidents. Also, consequential and incidental damage resulting from the use of this product or arising out of any breach of contract or breach of this warranty are not recoverable under this warranty. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damage, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
