	Off	—
	On steadily	Function available
	Flashing	Function     in progress
	Fast blink	Attention is required on the part of the user

The same symbols are also used in the Quick Guide provided with the product.

SETTING UP THE APPLIANCE

• The instructions for setting up the appliance are given in the QUICK GUIDE.
• When using the machine for the first time, 4-5 coffees will need to be made before it starts giving satisfactory results.
• 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 mill are the result of settings tests performed on the appliance before the sale, proof of the meticulous care and attention we invest in our products.

TURNING THE MACHINE ON AND OFF

• Each time the appliance is turned on, it performs an automatic preheat and rinse cycle which cannot be interrupted. The appliance is not ready for use until the cycle has been completed.
• Whenever the machine is turned off after being used to make coffee, it performs an automatic rinse cycle.

The danger of scalding!
During rinsing, a little hot water flows from the coffee spouts.
Take care to avoid contact with splashes of water.

• To turn the appliance on or off, press the button.
  If you will not be using the appliance for some time, unplug it from the mains socket:

MAKING COFFEE BEVERAGES

4.1 Making coffee using coffee beans

• Do not use green, caramelized, or candied coffee beans as they could stick to the coffee mill and make it unusable.
• If the “Energy Saving” mode is activated, there may be a few seconds delay before the first coffee is delivered.

4.2 Making coffee using pre-ground coffee

• 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 machine.
• Never use more than one level measure as it could dirty the inside of the machine or block the funnel.
• Making LONG coffee: halfway through preparation, when the lights come on, add one level measure of pre-ground coffee and press the Long button again.
• You cannot make Doppio+ coffee using pre-ground coffee.

4.3 Varying the coffee aroma

1. Press the button corresponding to the preferred aroma:
   

   	Mild
   	Medium
   	Strong

2. Select the desired coffee beverage.
   Please note:
   • When the next coffee is made, the machine will propose the last aroma selected.
   • In the event of power failure, the machine will revert to the medium default setting.

4.4 Rinsing
Use this function to deliver hot water from the coffee spouts to clean and heat the appliance’s internal circuit.
To perform the rinse cycle, just press and hold the button for about 5 seconds. Delivery stops automatically (to interrupt delivery earlier, press the same button again).

4.5 Tips for a hotter coffee
To make a hotter coffee, proceed as follows:

• perform a rinse cycle (see paragraph “Rinsing”);
• warm the cups by rinsing them first using the hot water function;
• increase the coffee temperature (see section “9. Settings menu”).

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

If the coffee is delivered too slowly, or not at all. This adjustment will not take ef- fect until at least 2 cups of coffee have been delivered.	Turn one click towards “7”
For a fuller-bodied creamier coffee This adjustment will not take ef- fect 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 mill is in operation during the initial phase of coffee preparation.
4.7 Customising the quantity in the cup

1. Press the button relative to the beverage being programmed and hold for a few seconds: the programming menu is accessed when the indicator switches to a fast blink. Delivery begins;
2. Once the cup is filled to the desired level, press the beverage button again. Delivery ceases and the quantity is stored in the memory.

Beverage*		Default (ml)	Programmable (ml)
	Espresso	40	from ≃ 20 to ≃ 180
	Coffee	180	from ≃ 100 to ≃ 240
	Long	160	from ≃ 115 to ≃ 250
	Doppio+	120	from ≃ 80 to ≃ 180

	Over ice	100	from ≃ 40 to ≃ 240

(*) The numbers and types of beverages differ according to the model.
Please note! 
To cancel the current program, press a button corresponding to another beverage

MAKING CAPPUCCINO

• Fill a container with about 100 grams of milk for each cappuccino to be made. When choosing the size of the container, bear in mind that the milk doubles or triples in volume.
• For a richer, denser froth, use skimmed or partially skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature (about 5°C).
  To ensure the heated milk does not end up with meager froth or large bubbles, clean the cappuccino maker every time 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.

MEASURING WATER HARDNESS

The descaling alarm is displayed after a period of time established according to water hardness. The machine is set by default for a hardness value of “4“. The machine can also be programmed according to the hardness of the water supply in the various regions so that descaling is required less often.

1. Remove the indicator paper from its packaging. If provided with your model, you will find it attached to the Quick Guide.
2. Immerse the paper completely in a glass of water for about one second.
   

3. Remove the strip from the water and shake lightly. 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.

   Total Hardness Test	Hardness
   	1 Low
   	2 Medium
   	3 Medium/High
   	4 High

   See instructions in section “9. Settings menu” to set the machine

DESCALING

To complete the descaling cycle correctly, pay close attention to the quantities required in the water tank for each step:
Step 1: Descaling action
Step 2: First rinse
Step 3: Second rinse

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

The descaling procedure is described in the Quick Guide.
Please note:

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