Perfect dose Too much coee Too little coee
After grinding coee 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 coee.
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
coee 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
coee will dimish. If you are unable to achieve the ideal quan-
tity of coee outlined in section "4.4 Adjusting the quantity of
ground coee 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 coee
(see section "5.4 Coee beverages").
2. If you use the 2 cup lter (C3), press the "2X" button (B3).
5.2 Delivering the coee
1. Attach the portalter (C1) to the appliance. To attach cor-
rectly, align the portalter 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 portalter spouts;
3. If you are using small cups, lower the cup grille (A10) to
bring the portalter 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 coee then
stops automatically.
Please note: While the machine is making coee, delivery can
be interrupted at any moment by pressing the "OK" button. To re-
move the portalter, turn the handle from right to left.
Danger of burns
• To avoid splashes, never remove the portalter while the appli-
ance is delivering coee. Wait for a few seconds after delivery.
• If no coee is delivered, then wait for about 1 minute be-
fore removing the portalter. 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 coee is being delivered (g. 21).
While making ESPRESSO coee, 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
coee".
Important:
• The pressure gauge only operates while coee 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 coee lter is thoroughly cleaned;
- check the quantity of ground coee in the lter: never ex-
ceed the mark impressed in the lter (perfect dose).
