MAkING DRINkS WITH MIlk
Filling and attaching the milk container
1. Remove the lid (fig. 15);
2. Fill the milk container with a sufficient quan-
tity of milk, not exceeding the MAX level
marked on the container (fig. 16). Each mark
on the side of the container corresponds to
100 ml of milk.
Making coffee using pre-ground coffee
Important!
•
Never add pre-ground
coffee when the machine
is off or it could spread
through the inside of the
machine and dirty it. This
could damage the ap-
pliance.
Never use more than 1 level measure or it
could dirty the inside of the coffee maker or
block the funnel.
Please note!
•
•
For a denser more even froth, you should
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 milk lid
and hot water nozzle as described in the
section “Cleaning the milk container” on
pages 15 and 17.
•
Please note!
3. Make sure the milk intake tube is correctly
inserted in the bottom of the milk container
lid (fig. 17).
4. Place the lid back on the milk container.
5. Remove the hot water spout from the nozzle
(fig. 18).
6. Attach the container to the nozzle and push
as far as it will go (fig. 19). The machine
emits a beep.
7. Place a sufficiently large cup under the coffee
and frothed milk spouts. Adjust the length of
the milk spout. To move it nearer the cup,
simply pull it downwards (fig. 20).
8. Follow the instructions below for each fun-
ction.
If you use pre-ground coffee, you can only
make one cup of coffee at a time.
1. Press the
button (fig. 7) until “Pre-
ground” is displayed.
2. Make sure the funnel is not blocked, then
add one level measure of pre-ground coffee
(fig. 14).

The drip tray is fitted with a level indicator (red)
showing the level of water it contains (fig. 24).
Before the indicator protrudes from the cup
tray, the drip tray must be emptied and cleaned,
otherwise the water may overflow the edge and
damage the appliance, the surface it rests on or
the surrounding area.
ClEANING
Important!
•
Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents
or alcohol to clean the coffee maker. With
De’Longhi superautomatic coffee makers,
you need not use chemical products to clean
the machine.
To remove the drip tray:
1. Remove the drip tray and the grounds con-
tainer (fig. 23);
2. Empty the drip tray and grounds container
and wash them;
3. Check the red condensate tray and empty if
necessary.

Do not use metal objects to remove encru-
stations or coffee deposits as they could
scratch metal or plastic surfaces.
4. Replace the drip tray and grounds container.
Cleaning the coffee grounds container
When “EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER” is di-
splayed, the grounds container must be emptied

Cleaning the inside of the coffee maker
Danger of electric shock!
Before cleaning internal parts, the machine must
be turned off (see “Turning off”) and unplugged
from the mains power supply. Never immerse
the coffee maker in water.
Important! Danger of burns
1. Check regularly (about once a month) that
the inside of the appliance (accessible after
removing the drip tray) is not dirty. If neces-
sary, remove coffee deposits with the brush
provided or a sponge.
If you make a number of cappuccinos one after
the other, the metal cup tray becomes hot.
Wait for it to cool down before touching it and
handle it from the front only.

WATER SOFTENER FIlTER
Certain models are fitted with a water softener
filter. If this is not the case with your model, you
are recommended to purchase one from De’Lon-
ghi Customer Services.
SETTING WATER HARDNESS
The DESCALE! message is displayed after a
period of time established according to wa-
ter hardness. The machine is factory set for a
hardness value of 4. The machine can also be
programmed according to the hardness of the
mains water in the various regions so that the
machine needs to be descaled less often.
To use the filter correctly, follow the instructions
below.
Installing the filter
1. Remove the filter from the packaging.
2. Turn the date indicator disk (see fig. 30) until
the next 2 months of use are displayed.
Please note
Measuring water hardness
The filter lasts about two months if the appliance
is used normally. If the coffee maker is left unu-
sed with the filter installed, it will last a maximum
of three weeks.
1. Remove the “TOTAL HARDNESS TEST” indi-
cator paper attached to this manual from its
pack.
2. Immerse the paper completely in a glass of
water for one second.
3. Remove the paper from the water and shake
lightly.
3. Remove the tank from the appliance and fill
with water.
4. Insert the filter in the water tank and immerse
it completely for ten or so seconds, sloping it
to enable the air bubbles to escape (fig. 31).
5. Insert the filter in the filter housing (fig. 32A)
and press as far as it will go.
After about a minute, 1, 2, 3, or 4 red squares
form, depending on the hardness of the wa-
ter. Each square corresponds to one level.
6. Close the tank with the lid (fig. 32B), then
replace the tank in the machine.
When you install the filter, you must notify the
appliance of its presence.

ElECTRICAl REqUIREMENTS
Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage indicated on the product corresponds with the
main voltage in your home, if you are in any doubt about your supply contact your local electricity
company.
The flexible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug having a fuse of 13 amp
capacity.
Should this plug not fit the socket outlets in your home, it should be cut off and replaced with a suitable
plug, following the procedure outlined below.
Note: Such a plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be properly disposed of
and not left where children might find it and plug it into a supply socket - with the obvious consequent
danger.
N.B. We recommend the use of good quality plugs and wall sockets that can be switched off when the
machine is not in use.
IMPORTANT: the wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Green and Yellow to Earth
13 amp
Fuse
GREEN AND YELLOW
BLUE
bROWN
EARTH
NEUTRAL
LIVE
Brown to
live
Blue to
neutral
Cord Clamp
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
-
-
-
The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which
is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter
N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter
L or coloured red.
When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely retained in each terminal. Do not
forget to tighten the mains lead clamp on the plug. If your electricity supply point has only two pin
socket outlets, or if you are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be carried out by a
qualified electrician and should only be replaced with a flexible cord of the same size.
After replacement of a fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug
must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement fuse
cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the fuse recess or elsewhere on the plug. Always state
this colour when ordering a replacement fuse cover.
Only 13amp replacement fuses which are asta approved to B.S. 1362 should be fitted.
This appliance conforms to the Norms EN 55014 regarding the suppression of radio interference.
Warning - this appliance must be earthed
