Please note: At the end of delivery, to increase the quantity of coffee in the cup, just press "EXTRA" (B10) within 3 seconds. When the required quantity is reached, stop with (B3).
Important! Making LONG coffee : Halfway through preparation, the machine requests a further level measure of pre-ground coffee. Proceed, then press (B11).
Please note: · If "Energy Saving" mode is active, you may have to wait a
few seconds before the first coffee is delivered. · Various alarm messages could be displayed while using the
appliance (Fill tank, Empty grounds container, etc.). Their meaning is explained in section "17. Troubleshooting". · For hotter coffee, see section "7.5 Tips for a hotter coffee". · If the coffee is delivered a drop at a time, too weak and not creamy enough or too cold, read the tips in section "17. Troubleshooting".
Please note: The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned when the coffee mill is in operation during the initial phase of coffee preparation.
If the coffee is delivered too slowly or not at all, turn one click clockwise towards 7. For fuller bodied creamier coffee, turn one click anticlockwise towards 1 (do not turn more than one click at a time otherwise the coffee could be delivered a drop at a time). The effect of the adjustment will be noticed only after making at least a further 2 cups of coffee. If this adjustment does not produce the desired result, turn the dial another click.
7.5 Tips for a hotter coffee For hotter coffee, proceed as follows: · perform a rinse cycle by selecting the "Rinsing" function in
the settings menu (section "6.1 Rinsing"); · warm the cups with hot water using the hot water function
(see section "10. Delivering hot water"); · increase the coffee temperature in the "Settings" menu
(see section "6.4 General"). Varying the temperature has most effect for long beverages.

With De'Longhi superautomatic coffee machines, no chemical products are required for cleaning purposes. · None of the components of the machine can be washed in a dishwasher, except for the milk container (D). · Do not use metal objects to remove encrustations or coffee deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces.
edge and damage the appliance, the surface it rests on or the surrounding area.
11.2 Cleaning the internal circuit If the appliance is not used for more than 3/4 days, before using it again, we strongly recommend switching it on and: · performing 2/3 rinse cycles (see section "6.1 Rinsing"); · delivering hot water for a few seconds (section "10. Deliv-
ering hot water").
Please note: After cleaning, it is normal for the grounds container (A17) to contain water.
11.3 Cleaning the coffee grounds container The display indicates when the grounds container (A17) is full. The appliance cannot be used to make coffee until you have cleaned the grounds container. Even if not full, the empty grounds container message is displayed 72 hours after the first coffee has been prepared. For the 72 hours to be calculated correctly, the machine must always be connected to the mains power supply. To clean (with the machine on):
· Remove the drip tray (A19) (fig. 19), empty and clean.
· Empty the grounds container and clean thoroughly to remove all residues left on the bottom. This can be done with the spatula on the brush (C5) provided.
Important!
19
When removing the drip tray, the grounds container must always be emptied, even if it has not filled up appreciably. If this is not done, when you make the next coffees, the grounds container may fill up more than expected and clog the machine.
11.4 Cleaning the drip tray The drip tray (A19) is fitted with a level indicator (A20) (red) showing the amount of water it contains (fig. 20). Before the indicator protrudes from the cup tray (A18), the drip tray must be emptied and cleaned, otherwise the water may overflow the
20
21
To remove the drip tray: 1. Remove the drip tray and coffee grounds container (A17)
(fig. 19); 2. Remove the cup tray and drip tray grille, then empty the
drip tray and grounds container and wash all components; 3. Check the condensate tray (A16) and empty if necessary
(fig. 21). 4. Put the drip tray complete with grille and grounds contain-
er back in the appliance.
11.5 Cleaning the insideof the appliance
Danger of electric shock!
Before cleaning internal parts, the machine must be turned off
(see section "5. Turning the appliance off") and unplugged from
the mains power supply. Never immerse the machine in water.
1. Check regularly (about
once a month) that the
inside of the appliance
(accessible after removing
the drip tray (A19)) is not
dirty. If necessary, remove
coffee deposits with the
brush (C5) supplied and
a sponge;
22
2.
Remove all residues with a vacuum cleaner (fig.
22).
11.6 Cleaning the water tank 1. Clean the water tank (A14) regularly (about once a month)
and whenever you replace the water softener filter (C4) (if provided) with a damp cloth and a little mild washing up liquid; 2. Remove the filter (C4) (if present) and rinse with running water;
13
3. Replace the filter (if installed), fill the tank (A14) with fresh water and replace;
4. (Models with water softener filter only) Deliver 100ml of water to reactivate the filter.
11.7 Cleaning the coffee spouts 1. Clean the coffee spouts (A9) regularly with a sponge or cloth (fig. 23); 2. Check the holes in the coffee spouts are not blocked. If necessary, remove coffee deposits with a toothpick (fig. 23).
Do not use detergents to clean the infuser as this could cause damage. 5. Soak the infuser in water for about 5 minutes, then rinse
under the tap;
23
11.8 Cleaning the pre-ground coffee funnel Check regularly (about once a month) that the pre-ground coffee funnel (A4) is not blocked. If necessary, remove coffee deposits with the brush (C5) supplied.
11.9 Cleaning the infuser The infuser (A12) must be cleaned at least once a month.
Important! The infuser cannot be extracted when the machine is on. 1. Make sure the machine has run the shutdown procedure
correctly (see "5. Turning the appliance off"); 2. Remove the water tank (fig. 2).
26
27
6. Use the brush (C5) to remove any coffee residues left in the infuser housing, visible through the infuser door.
7. After cleaning, replace the infuser by sliding it onto the internal support (fig. 26), then push the PUSH symbol fully in until it clicks into place.
Please note:
PUSH
If the infuser is difficult to insert, before insertion, adapt it to the right size by pressing the two levers shown in fig. 27. 8. Once inserted, make sure

6. Check that the intake tube and spout are not clogged with milk residues.
7. Replace the dial (in correspondence to the word "INSERT"), spout and milk intake tube.
8. Place the lid back on the milk container.
Please note: washing by hand Washing in a dishwasher guarantees the perfect hygiene of all the milk container components. When washing by hand, wash all components of the milk container thoroughly withhot water and immerse them in a basin of hot water for 30 minutes before proceeding as described in point 5.
11.11 Cleaning the hot water nozzle Every now and then, clean the connection nozzle (A10) with a sponge to remove milk residues from the gaskets (fig. 18).
12. DESCALE
