SETTING UP THE APPLIANCE

Please note:

• When using the machine for the first time, all removable accessories making contact with water or milk should be rinsed with hot water.
• Possible traces of coffee in the grinder are the result of operating tests performed on the appliance before sale, proof of the meticulous care and attention we invest in our products.
• The first time the machine is used, the water circuit will be empty and the appliance could be very noisy. The noise becomes less as the circuit fills.
• Make sure that the steam dial (A19) stays in the 0 position until completion of the first start-up cycle (fig. 1).

1. Connect the appliance to the mains supply (fig. 2).
2. The indicator (B10) will light up on the control panel (B) (fig. 3): remove the water tank (A9) (fig. 4), fill up to the MAX level with fresh water (fig. 5), then reposition in the appliance.
3. The Led (B3) on the control panel will flash rapidly.
4. Position a container under the coffee spout (A15) (fig. 6).
5. Press the button(B3) (fig. 7): the internal water circuits start to fill and the appliance will release hot water from the coffee spout.

The machine is now ready for use.
Please note:

• When using the machine for the first time, 4-5 coffees will need to be made before it starts giving satisfactory results.
• When rinsing the steam circuit, it is best to release hot water for a few seconds by turning the steam/hot water dial (A19) to the I position.

MEASURING WATER HARDNESS

Setting the water hardness as soon as possible will enable the machine to optimize the frequency of descaling. This means that the descale indicator (B13) will light up as necessary according to the actual hardness of the local water supply. Proceed as follows:

1. If a total hardness test indicator paper (C1) is supplied with the model of machine in question, remove it from its wrapper.
2. Immerse the paper completely in a glass of water for about one second (fig. 8).
3. Remove the paper from the water and shake lightly (fig. 9). After about a minute, 1, 2, 3, or 4 red squares appear, depending on the hardness of the water. Each square corresponds to one level.

• Descaler can cause damage to delicate surfaces. If the product is accidentally spilt, dry immediately.

To descale

Descaler| De’Longhi descaler
Container| Recommended capacity: 2 l/0.53 us lg
Time| ~30min

Important:
If the water softener filter is installed, it must be removed before adding the descaler  solution.Thereafter, reinstate the filter at the start of step 3
Descale the machine when the indicator (B13) lights up on the control panel.

Please note:

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

With this in mind, make sure there is sufficient descaler.
Proceed as follows:
Step 1: Descaling action

1. Press the button (B4) and hold for at least 5 seconds, until the relative Led starts flashing rapidly.
   The mild intensity Led lights up to indicate that step 1 of the descale cycle is in progress;

2. Empty the drip tray (A11) and the grounds container (A10) and reposition them; empty the water tank completely (A9) and remove the softener filter (if installed);

3. Pour the descaler into the tank, filling to level A (which corresponds to a 100ml pack) marked on the side (front) of the tank (fig. 27); next, add water (one liter) up to level B (fig. 28); finally, reposition the water tank in the machine;

4. Position an empty container of at least 2 liters capacity under the coffee spout (A15) and under the cappuccino maker (A17) (fig. 29).

5. – Press the button to start the descale cycle.

6. After a few seconds, the Led relative to the will flash rapidly to indicate that the steam/hot water dial (A19) should be turned to the I position (fig. 13).

7. For ten minutes or so, the machine alternates automatically between pausing and delivering liquid from the steam/hot water spout and the coffee spout.
   When the first step of the descaling cycle has been completed, the low water level indicator (B10) will light up.Step 2: First rinse|
   ---|---

8. Empty the container used to collect the descaler solution.
   Remove and empty the water tank, rinse under running water, then fill with fresh water up to the MAX level (fig. 30) and reposition in the machine; reposition the container under the spouts;

9. Press the button (which blinks rapidly) to start the rinse: the medium intensity Led blinks to indicate that step 2 of the descale cycle is in progress;

10. The machine proceeds automatically with the rinse: the Led relative to steam blinks rapidly indicating that the steam/hot water dial (A19) must be turned to the 0 position (fig. 1);

11. After ten seconds or so, when the Led relative to steam flashes rapidly, turn the steam/hot water dial to the I position (fig. 14): the rinse fluid will flow from the coffee and steam/hot water spouts;
    When the second step of the descaling cycle has been completed, the low water level indicator (B10) will light up.Step 3: Second rinse|
    ---|---

12. Empty the container used to collect the water from the first rinse. Remove and empty the water tank, then fill with fresh water up to the MAX level (fig. 30) and reinstate the softener filter, if in use; return the tank to the machine and reposition the  container under the spouts;

13. Press the button (which blinks rapidly) to start the rinse: the strong intensity Led blinks to indicate that step 3 of the descale cycle is in progress; the rinse fluid will flow from the steam/hot water spout;
    Step 4:  Completion of descale procedure|
    ---|---

14. When the Led relative to the pre-ground function lights up, the descale cycle has been correctly terminated: the Led relative to steam flashes to indicate that the steam dial must be turned to the 0 position.

15. The indicators of the grounds container (B12) and low water level(B10) light up. Empty the grounds container and the drip tray, in which part of the rinse water will have been collected; finally, refill the water tank.

16. Reposition all components in the machine.
    The machine is ready for use.

Please note:

• 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.
