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 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. Set the slider on the “ON” position (fig. D).
7. The carafe rests on a warming plate that will keep your coffee at serving temperature. Set the slider
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 drip 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 (light off), 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 (fig. 24).
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 COFFEE MAKER
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.
