INTRODUCTION
Dear customer,
You are now the proud owner of a fine DeLonghi Coffee Maker, you can enjoy traditional coffee, or
experience the taste of delicious espresso or cappuccino at the end of a perfect meal with family or
friends. All this is possible with one compact unit.
The enclosed material has been carefully prepared, to familiarize you completely with the operation of
this machine.
Please read all instructions fully before attempting to operate this appliance.
BECOME FAMILIAR
Before using your DeLonghi coffee maker for the first time, it is important that you become familiar with all
of its parts. Do this by means of a practice run. DO NOT PLUG IN.
Unscrew the reservoir cap of the espresso/cappuccino maker, turn the steam control knob on and off,
place the filter in the filter holder, and position it in the boiler outlet. For the automatic drip coffee maker,
raise the water reservoir cover, remove the filter holder and replace. Become familiar with your appliance.
USE OF THE MACHINE
THIS MACHINE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
This appliance is provided with a safety stopper which prevents the stopper itself from opening accidentally
when the machine is operating under pressure. To unscrew this stopper, you must let out all the internal
pressure by rotating the steam knob and turning the flow regulator to the LIGHT setting.
Before use
Before using the machine for the first time, wash all accessories (filter-holder, measuring spoon, filter,
carafe, adapter if fitted, milk tank) with detergent and warm water, then rinse thoroughly. The internal
circuit should then be washed as follows:
Filling the water tank
•
Unscrew the water tank cap by turning counter-clockwise.
•
Use the glass carafe (fig. 1) to fill the water tank (fig. 2). Always switch the machine off and remove
the plug from the socket before filling the water tank.
Do not overfill the water tank. The espresso carafe is marked with water levels for
2 cups (minimum) and 4 cups (maximum) (see table, page 11).
Important: When making cappuccino, add extra water to the steam level shown
on the carafe for two cups and to the bottom of the metal band for four cups.
Care should be taken to ensure that the correct quantity of water is placed in the
tank, as the machine always uses all the water.
•
Close the water tank cap securely by turning clockwise.
Pre-wash
•
•
•
Plug the appliance into the wall socket (remember the safety instructions).
Fit the filter to the filter-holder (fig. 3).
To fit the filter-holder to the machine, place the filter-holder underneath the boiler nozzle (fig. 4); push
the filter-holder upwards and, at the same time, turn it to the right.
The handle of the filter-holder does not have to be straight when it is attached to the machine. What
is important is that it is inserted securely.
•
•
•
•
Place the carafe under the filter-holder. Ensure that the spout is aligned with the hole in the carafe lid (fig. 5).
Turn the flow regulator towards the “LIGHT” position.
Press the “Espresso/Cappuccino ON/OFF” switch. The pilot lamp will light (fig. 6).
Check that the steam knob is in the “closed” position.
The water is heated in about 2 minutes, and will then begin to flow from the filter holder nozzle.
When all the water has been delivered, press the “Espresso/Cappuccino ON/OFF” switch to turn
the machine off.
6
IMPORTANT
Before unscrewing the water tank cap, check that there is no residual pressure in the
boiler. To do this, turn the steam knob slowly so that the residual pressure is allowed to disperse
(fig. 7). Do not remove the water tank cap until the steam ceases to escape from the milk tube.
To ensure perfect pre-washing, repeat this procedure several times.
The machine is now ready for use.
HOW TO MAKE A PERFECT ESPRESSO COFFEE
For best results, we recommend the use of coarse-ground coffee.

•
•
Unscrew the water tank cap by turning it counter-clockwise.
Pour the desired quantity of water into the water tank using the glass carafe. Follow the instructions
in the paragraph “Filling the water tank” (see table, page 11).
•
•
Close the tank cap carefully by turning it clockwise.
Place the desired quantity of coffee in the filter (fig. 8). Spread the coffee evenly and press down
lightly with the bottom of the measuring spoon. Special marks on the inside of the filter show the
appropriate levels for 2 and 4 cups of coffee.
•
•
Remove any excess coffee from the edge of the filter (fig. 9).
Position the filter-holder underneath the boiler nozzle. Attach to the machine by pushing it upwards
and, at the same time, turning to the right (fig. 4) as far as it will go.
The carafe should be placed under the filter-holder in such a way that the nozzle is aligned with the
hole in the lid of the carafe (fig. 5).
•
•
•
Position the flow regulator according to the type of coffee desired: “LIGHT”, or “STRONG” (fig. 10).
Press the”Espresso/Cappuccino ON/OFF” switch. The pilot lamp will light.
Check that the steam knob is in the “closed” position.
The coffee will start to flow from the filter holder nozzle after about 2 minutes (fig. 11). Wait until all
the water in the water tank is delivered.
•
Set the “Espresso/Cappuccino ON/OFF” switch to OFF.
IMPORTANT
Before removing the boiler cap or the filter-holder, check that there is no residual
pressure in the boiler (see “Pre-wash”).
•
To remove the used coffee grounds, turn the filter-holder face-down and knock the grounds out (fig.
12). Alternatively, hold the filter-holder and the filter underneath a running tap for a few moments,
then allow to drain.
Warning: Metal parts may become very hot
Installing the cup adapter (if supplied)
The carafe can be used to brew 2 or 4 cups of coffee.
If you prefer to brew 2 cups only, fit the adapter to the lower section of the filter-holder (fig. 13) and
place the cups directly underneath the nozzles. In this way, the coffee will flow directly into the cups.

After few minutes the “OK” pilot lamp will light to indicate that the machine has reached the correct
temperature for using the “instant froth dispenser “.
In the meantime, pour the amount of milk necessary for making 1 or 2 cappuccinos into the milk
container (fig. 14) For 1 or 2 cappuccinos, fill to level 1, for 3 or 4 cappuccinos, fill to level 2. (See
fig. 15).
•
When the OK light has gone on, shift the cups containing the espresso to under the Instant Froth
Dispenser tube, and gradually turn the steam knob counter-clockwise. The frothed milk will begin to
flow.
When you have reached the desired quantity of cappuccino, turn the steam knob clockwise.
Repeat the same procedure for a second cappuccino then switch the appliance off.
Your cappuccino is ready. Add sugar to taste and , if you like, sprinkle with a little chocolate powder
or cinnamon.
• After making the cappuccino, the milk container must be carefully cleaned.
We suggest that you proceed as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
By using the glass carafe pour the amount of water necessary for making 2 coffees, into the water tank.
Replace the cap.
Fill the milk container half-way with water.
Turn the machine ON and set the flow regulator to light.
When water begins to flow from the boiler nozzle, position the flow regulator lever to
then turn
the steam knob counter-clockwise after having placed a receptacle underneath the milk tube (fig. 16).
This procedure will rinse out the milk container as well as all the internal parts.
Once a week, it is best to clean the unit even more thoroughly , as follows:
•
•
Remove the milk container from the machine by pulling it upwards (fig. 17).
To clean the mixer, pull it upwards (fig. 18). Remove the rubber joint. Wash the joint and the
mixer with hot water (fig. 19) or, if you prefer, wash them in a dishwasher.
Once they have been cleaned, the parts should be reassembled, taking care not to damage
them or fit them incorrectly.
•
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operations, check whether there
is pressure in the water tank by turning the steam knob slowly counter-clockwise.
Never remove the milk container when the steam knob is open; this could cause
burns.

DESCALING
If you live in a hard-water area, minerals and calcium found in the water will accumulate and affect the
operation of the machine.
Approximately every 1 - 2 months (depending on the hardness of the water), your DE’ DELONGHI
espresso maker should be cleaned with water and a commercial cleaning agent for coffee maker (we
recommend Better Brew) as follows:
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Before cleaning your Espresso maker, turn the switch to OFF and remove the plug from the wall socket.
Fill the carafe with water and the commercial cleaning agent and pour into the water tank.
Fit the tank cap and tighten it securely.
Fit the filter and filter-holder (without any coffee).
Place the carafe on the drip tray.
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Turn the switch to ON and set the flow regulator to LIGHT. After a few minutes, the hot water will
begin to flow through the filter-holder into the carafe.
-
Place the steam tube in a glass or mug. Open the steam knob for a few seconds while the water
flows through the filter-holder. This will clear any milk residue from the inside of the tube.
-
-
Close the steam knob (the water will continue to flow into the carafe).
When no more water flows into the carafe, turn the switch to OFF and allow the machine to cool.
Remove the filter-holder, the filter and the carafe and rinse with hot water.
-
Repeat the last two steps using cold water. Repeat twice.
IMPORTANT:
NEVER remove the filter holder when the machine is switched on. In order to check
whether there is pressure in the water tank:
•Switch the appliance off.
• Remove the plug from the wall socket.
• Turn the steam knob slowly counter-clockwise.
• If steam escapes from the tube, then the water tank i still under pressure.
• Place a receptacle under the steam tube.
• Open the steam knob so that the residual steam can escape.
• When all the steam has escaped from the tube, close the steam knob by turning it
clockwise.
At this point, the water tank cap and the filter-holder can be removed.
USE OF THE MACHINE: DRIP COFFEE
HELPFUL HINTS FOR USING THE DRIP COFFEE MAKER
1. Before using your DELONGHI Automatic Drip Coffee Maker for the first time, fill the carafe with
water to the 10-cup level, and pour into the water reservoir. Follow the instruction below, omitting
the paper filter and coffee. This will thoroughly cleanse the unit prior to the initial brew of coffee.
2. Always use fresh, cold tap water to brew coffee.
3. The DeLonghi Automatic Drip Coffee Maker brews a maximum of 10 cups. Never exceed this
maximum amount as shown by the markings on the carafe.
9
4. Use a fine drip grind coffee - that is recommended for automatic drip coffee makers.
5. The warming plate heats up when the drip coffee maker is switched ON. Avoid touching it, and
never allow the power cord to come into contact with it.
6. The amount of freshly brewed coffee delivered after the brewing process will always be slightly less
than the amount of water poured into the reservoir. This is due to the absorption of some water by
the ground coffee. Therefore put in a little more water to begin with.
HOW TO MAKE COFFEE
1. Remove the carafe from the recessed warming plate. Grasp the handle, lift it up, slide the carafe
straight out. Open the lid, and fill the carafe with cold water to the desired level (fig. 20).
2. Open the drip coffee machine water reservoir cover, and pour the water into the reservoir. Close the
lid of the carafe and place carafe on warming plate.
3. Swing out the filter holder as per fig. 21.
4. Place paper filter into the filter holder (fig. 22). We recommend # 4 cone style filters.
5. Measure coffee into the filter, using the handy measuring spoon provided (fig. 23). Measure slightly
less than one level spoon of ground coffee for every cup of water measured into the reservoir.
Personal tastes differ. Experiment with varying amounts of coffee, until the desired strength is
reached. Replace filter holder.
6. Plug the coffee maker.
7. Push the ON/OFF drip coffee switch to the ON position (fig. 24). The red light indicates that the
machine is operating.
8. The carafe rests on a warming plate that will keep your coffee at serving temperature. Turn switch to
the OFF position if carafe is empty.
At the end of the brewing cycle, the coffee maker will create some steam and start
puffing. This is normal and to be expected.
KEEPING THE COFFEE HOT
The coffee is kept warm on a warming plate which begins to heat up when the coffeemaker is switched
on and will keep the coffee hot until the coffeemaker is switched off.
BREWING SMALL AMOUNT OF COFFEE
If you wish only 5 coffees, the 5/10 coffee switch must be released before switching on the appliance.
Set in this position, hot water flows slower through the ground coffee in order to reach an optimum
brewing result. With the 5/10 coffee switch depressed the appliance will work at normal speed.
DRIP-INTERRUPTION FEATURE
This special feature is for the person who can’t wait for all of the coffee to be brewed, especially when
making 8-10 cups. When carafe is half-filled, remove the carafe and serve. Replace carafe. Flow of
coffee into carafe will resume.
To prevent coffee from overflowing from the filter holder during the brewing cycle, the carafe should be
immediately returned to the warmingplate after pouring.
Simultaneous use of the DeLonghi CAFFE’ TRIESTE:
CAUTION: If you plan to prepare coffee and espresso at the same time, make sure that you start
preparing the drip coffee first.
Always be present when the espresso/cappuccino part of the machine is in the ON position and
make sure that it is turned OFF immediately after preparing espresso or cappuccino.
