IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: Read all instructions. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs. To protect against fire, electrical shock and personal injury, do not immerse cord, plug or appliance in water or other liquid. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before fitting or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance. Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized DeLonghi service facility for examination, repair or adjustment. The use of accessory attachments or spare parts not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock or personal injury. Do not use outdoors. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electrical burner, or in a heated oven. To disconnect the appliance, turn any control to off, then remove plug from wall outlet. Do not use the appliance for other than the intended use.

A. B. C. D.

Appliances with Glass Containers: The container is designed for use with this appliance. It must never be used on a range top. Do not set a hot container on a wet or cold surface. Do not use a cracked container or a container having a loose or weakened handle. Do not clean container with cleansers, steel wool pads, or other abrasive material.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove the cover. No user serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done by authorized service personnel only!

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter-top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped 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.

before making coffee for the first time
1 Make sure the selector knob is in the off position ( ) and that the steam/hot water knob is closed by turning clockwise (dont overtighten). 2 Lift out the tank, remove the lid and fill with cold water. Never fill above the MAX level marked. Alternatively remove the lid and fill the tank while in position on the coffee maker. q We recommend using filtered water as it produces better coffee and reduces limescale. Never use fizzy water. q Replace the tank. Make sure that it is correctly in place and apply light pressure if necessary to ensure the valve at the bottom of the tank connects with the bottom of the machine. Note it is normal for water to remain in the compartment under the tank. This can be dried using a sponge. Important Never operate the machine without water in the tank. Refill as soon as the level gets low. 3 Swing out the cappuccino and latte system and put a jug underneath. 4 Attach the filter holder to the machine by positioning it under the liquid coffee/boiler outlet and turning to the right. Place a bowl underneath. 5 Turn the selector knob to the boiler position ( ). The boiler light will come on, wait until the OK light glows. 6 Turn the selector knob to the coffee/hot water position ( ) and wait until two cups of water run into the bowl. 7 Turn the steam/hot water knob anti-clockwise and allow two cups of water to run into the jug. 8 Turn the steam/hot water knob clockwise and turn the selector knob to the off position ( ). 9 Repeat these steps if you havent used the coffee maker for a few days.

before using for the first time 1 Remove all packaging. 2 Wash the parts: see cleaning. 3 Flush the machine through with clean water: see before making coffee for the first time. 4 Wind excess cable around the cleats on the underside of the coffee maker.
preheating the coffee machine
To ensure your espresso coffee is dispensed at the right temperature it is essential that the coffee unit is pre heated. Turn the selector knob to the boiler position ( ). Check that the hot steam/water knob is firmly closed (turn clockwise) and that there is water in the tank. Fit the desired filter into the filter holder (without coffee) and attach to the machine by positioning it under the liquid coffee/boiler outlet and turning to the right. Ensure it is firmly located. Position a cup under the filter holder. If you use the same cup that the coffee will be served in it will be preheated. Alternatively the cups can be pre heated on the cup warming tray. When the OK light glows, turn the selector knob to the coffee position ( ). Allow water to flow out until the OK light goes out, then turn the selector knob to the boiler position ( ). Remove the filter holder and proceed to make coffee using either ground coffee or coffee pods.
Important Never remove the filter holder while the coffee ( ) or steam ( ) function is selected or while coffee is brewing steam could shoot out and burn you.
to make coffee using E.S.E. filter pods
Important If the filter for one cup is used after ground coffee has been used, it is necessary to clear any ground coffee from around the liquid coffee/boiler outlet. This is necessary to avoid water leakages from the filter holder and to ensure optimum performance. Take care as the area may be hot. 1 Pre heat the machine as described. This will ensure that the coffee is delivered at a hotter temperature. Fit the small filter into the filter holder before fitting it to the machine, making sure that the tab on the filter fits into the slot on the filter holder. 2 Place the E.S.E. coffee pod into the filter making sure the pod is facing the correct way. 3 Press the pod towards the lower part of the filter, making sure that the paper flaps adhere to the inner part of the filter. 4 The pod needs to be well centred and placed in the filter. 5 Fit the filter holder into the liquid coffee/boiler outlet and turn to the right until it locks into position. 6 Follow the points to make espresso. Note use pods that conform to the ESE standard. q Always follow the instructions on the package of the pods for the correct positioning of the pods in the filter.
to make espresso using ground coffee
1 Pre heat the appliance as described above. 2 Check that there is water in the tank. 3 Select the desired filter and fit into the filter holder. Make sure that the tab on the filter fits into the slot on the filter holder. q Use the smaller filter for making one cup of coffee (or when using coffee E.S.E. pods) and the larger filter for 2 cups. 4 Add the coffee using the measuring spoon provided one level spoon per cup, level the surface then lightly press with the back of the measuring spoon. Wipe off any coffee around the rim. q When buying ground coffee make sure it is suitable for espresso machines. q Never press the coffee too firmly as the coffee will come out slowly and the crema will be of a dark color. However, if it is pressed too lightly, the coffee will come out too fast and the crema will be a light color. 5 Lift the filter holder into the liquid coffee/boiler outlet. Turn it to the right to lock into position. q Put one or two cups underneath. If making one cup of coffee, center your cup in the middle. q Ensure the selector knob is on the boiler position ( ), the boiler light will come on. Wait until the OK light glows then turn the selector knob to the coffee position ( ). 6 When youve enough coffee not too much otherwise it will be too weak, (optimum dosage is 1.5 oz per cup) return the selector knob to the boiler position ( ). If youre not making any more coffee turn the selector knob to the off position ( ). 7 Remove the filter holder by turning to the left. q There will be water on the filter when you remove it: this is normal. 8 To remove the used coffee from the filter holder, flip the lever on the handle so that the end locates over the filter. Hold the lever in position with your finger pressed on the heat resistant guard then tip the unit upside down and tap out the grounds.

to froth milk for cappuccino
Prepare the espresso as previously described 1 Make sure there is water in the tank. 2 Turn the selector knob to the steam position ( ). Wait until the OK light comes on indicating that the boiler has reached the correct temperature. 3 Partly fill a jug with milk the milk may increase up to three times in volume so select a suitably sized jug. q Cold skim milk produces the best results. 4 Position the jug under the cappuccino and latte system. 5 Place the nozzle into the milk about 1 inch deep and turn the steam/hot water knob in an anti clockwise direction. The milk will begin to increase in volume and appear frothy. When the volume of the milk has doubled, fully immerse the nozzle and continue heating the milk. Once the desired temperature is reached, stop the steam by turning the steam/hot water knob clockwise. q Never allow the milk to boil as this will spoil the flavor of the coffee. 6 Turn the selector knob back to the off position ( ). 7 Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the espresso coffee. Important Never operate the cappuccino and latte system for longer than 2 minutes at one time. hint - to prepare more than one cappuccino, first make all the coffees then at the end prepare the frothed milk for all the cappuccinos.
to make espresso after frothing milk
Important Never remove the filter holder from its housing immediately after using the steam function. If youre making espresso after frothing milk, you need to get rid of any over-hot water that could burn your coffee. Heres how: 1 Place a container underneath the cappuccino and latte system, ensuring the selector knob is at the boiler position ( ), then turn the steam/hot water knob anti clockwise. Turn the selector knob to the coffee position ( ) and allow the water to flow out until the OK light comes on. 2 Turn the selector knob to the boiler setting ( ) to stop the water flowing from the cappuccino and latte system. Turn the steam/hot water knob in a clockwise direction to close. 3 The unit is now ready to make coffee.

cappuccino and latte system Prior to cleaning allow some hot water to flow out of the cappuccino and latte system (see to boil water for other drinks) but unplug and allow to cool before proceeding. Unscrew the nozzle by turning clockwise, then wash thoroughly. Check that the three holes in the cappuccino and latte system are not blocked. If necessary unblock them with a pin. Clean the steam/hot water delivery tube. Make sure the end is not blocked. Screw the cappuccino and latte system back onto the delivery tube. drip tray top, drip tray Empty the drip tray regularly. Youll know when it is full, the red float in the middle of the drip tray will rise and become visible in the center hole on the cup stand. Wash then dry. liquid coffee outlet/boiler unit Wipe away any coffee grounds from this area. At least twice a year carry out the following procedure: Using a screwdriver , remove the screw that holds the outlet of the boiler in place. Clean the boiler area with a damp cloth. Clean the removed outlet thoroughly in hot soapy water using a brush. Rinse thoroughly. Make sure the holes are not blocked, if necessary use a pin to clean. Reverse the above procedure to replace to the outlet. Failure to clean the boiler outlet and the filters as described invalidates the guarantee. descaling It is advisable to descale the coffee maker after 200 cups of coffee have been made. We recommend purchasing a specific product for descaling espresso coffee machines. Make sure the filter holder is not attached and position a bowl under the liquid coffee/boiler outlet. Pour 1 liter of water and 8.5 oz. descaler into the tank. Turn the selector knob to the boiler position ( ) and wait until the OK light glows. Turn the selector knob to the coffee position ( ) and allow half the solution to flow out. Turn the selector knob back to the off ( ) position to stop the flow. Leave the machine to stand for 15 minutes, then turn the knob to the coffee position ( ) and allow the tank to completely empty. Thoroughly rinse the tank. Fill with fresh water and turn the selector knob to the coffee position ( ) and allow all the water to flush through. Turn the selector knob to the off ( ) position. Repairs caused by malfunctioning due to a build up of limescale in the product are not covered by the guarantee if the descaling process is not carried out regularly.

Make sure the selector knob is in the off position ( ). Check that there is water in the tank. Turn the selector knob to the boiler position ( ). Position a container under the cappuccino and latte system. 5 When the OK light glows, turn the steam/hot water knob in an anti-clockwise direction then the selector knob to the coffee/hot water position ( ). Hot water will come out of the cappuccino and latte system. 6 To stop the flow of hot water return the selector knob to the off position ( ) then turn the steam/hot water knob in a clockwise direction. Do not dispense hot water from the cappuccino and latte system for longer than 20 seconds in one operation.
