Perfect dose Too much coee Too little coee
After grinding coee for the rst time, turn the dial gradually,
starting from the
“min” position (see following gure) until
you reach the correct quantity, depending on the type of coee.
The ideal position is within the sector shown in grey in the fol-
lowing gure.
By adjusting this dial, you can adapt the grinding to any type of
coee and to wear of the burrs over time.
4.6 Grinding adjustment over time
Over time, the burrs will wear down and the quantity of ground
coee will dimish. If you are unable to achieve the ideal quan-
tity of coee outlined in section "4.4 Adjusting the quantity of
ground coee in the lter" even after turning the dial (B2) to
+ position, contact De'Longhi Customer Service who will guide
you to reach the perfect dose again (see "www.delonghi.com").
5. COFFEE DELIVERY
5.1 Beverage selection
1. Turn the mode selector dial (B8) to select the desired coee
(see section "5.4 Coee beverages").
2. If you use the 2 cup lter (C3), press the "2X" button (B3).
5.2 Delivering the coee
1. Attach the portalter (C1) to the appliance. To attach cor-
rectly, align the portalter handle with "INSERT" (g. 10),
then turn the handle to the right until it is aligned in the
"CLOSE" position;
2. Place the cup or cups under the portalter spouts;
3. If you are using small cups, lower the cup grille (A10) to
bring the portalter spouts nearer the cup. This makes a
better crema (g. 20);
4. Using the dial (B8), select the desired beverage.
5. Press the "OK" button. The appliance makes the coee then
stops automatically.
Please note: While the machine is making coee, delivery can
be interrupted at any moment by pressing the "OK" button. To re-
move the portalter, turn the handle from right to left.
Danger of burns
To avoid splashes, never remove the portalter while the appli-
ance is delivering coee. Wait for a few seconds after delivery.
If no coee is delivered, then wait for about 1 minute be-
fore removing the portalter. There could be a pu of steam
caused by the residual pressure inside the appliance.
5.3 Pressure gauge
The pressure gauge enables you to check that pressure is correct
while the coee is being delivered (g. 21).
While making ESPRESSO coee, the indicator will initially be in
the "pre-infusion" sector and will then rotate to the "optimal
zone" during delivery.
For more information, see section "16. How to make perfect
coee".
Important:
The pressure gauge only operates while coee beverages are
being made. If you are preparing hot water " " or using the
steam function, the pressure gauge indicator does not move.
If the indicator goes on the red sector (over-pressure level):
- be sure that the coee lter is thoroughly cleaned;
- check the quantity of ground coee in the lter: never ex-
ceed the mark impressed in the lter (perfect dose).
