If your model is not provided with a filter, you can request one from De'Longhi Customer Services. TURNING THE APPLIANCE ON Please note! Before turning the appliance on, make sure the main switch on the back of the appliance is in the I position (fig. 3). Each time the appliance is turned on, it performs an automatic preheat and rinse cycle which cannot be interrupted. The appliance is ready for use only after completion of this cycle.

Avoid contact with splashes of water. • To turn the appliance on, press the button (fig. 7). The light flashes while the appliance is heating up and performing an automatic rinse cycle. By circulating hot water, the appliance heats both the boiler and the internal circuits. The appliance is at temperature when the light goes off and the lights corresponding to the selected coffee taste and quantity come on.
