5.4 Setting up the appliance
Please note:
• Coee has been used to factory test the appliance and it is
therefore completely normal for there to be traces of cof-
fee in the mill. The machine is, however, guaranteed to be
new.
You should customise water hardness as soon as possible follow-
ing the instructions in section “20. Setting water hardness”.
Proceed as described:
1. Plug the appliance into the mains socket and press the
main switch (A6) on the back of the appliance (g. 1).
2. The light (B3) ashes on the touch screen (B): Re-
move the water tank (A17 - g. 2), ll to the MAX line with
fresh water (g. 3A) then put back in the appliance (g.
3B).
3. The icon (B14 - g. 5) ashes on the touch screen.
4. Place a container with a minimum capacity of 100 ml
under the cappuccino maker (A20) (g. 4).
5. Turn the steam/hot water dial to the "I" position (g. 6)

Please note:
• The rst time you use the appliance, you need to make 4-5
cups of coee before it starts to give satisfactory results.
• To enjoy your coee even more and improve the perfor-
mance of your appliance, we recommend installing a
water softener lter (C4) as described in section “21. Water
softener lter”. If your model is not provided with a lter,
you can request one from De'Longhi Customer Services.

Each time the appliance is turned on, it performs an automatic
preheat and rinse cycle which cannot be interrupted. The appli-
ance is ready for use only after completion of this cycle.

dicate the appliance is heating up.
While heating up, the machine performs a rinse cycle. As well

culating hot water.
The appliance is at temperature when the light on the touch
screen goes o and the coee icons come on.
