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
following the instructions in the section: “16. Setting water
hardness”.
Proceed as described:
1. Remove the water tank (A9), ll to the MAX line with fresh
water (g. 1A) then put back in the appliance (g. 1B).
2. Place a container with a minimum capacity of 100 ml

Please note:
• The rst time you use the coee maker, you need to make
4/5 cups of coee or 4/5 cappuccinos 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 the section “10. WATER
SOFTENER FILTER”. If your model is not provided with a l-
ter, you can request one from De’Longhi Customer Services.
