IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
When using any electrical appliance, some basic safety precautions should be observed. Specifically:  
Read all instructions carefully.  
Make sure the voltage of your electrical system corresponds to the voltage shown on the bottom  
of the machine.  
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.  
To protect against fire, electrical shock and personal injury, do not immerse cord, plug, or  
appliance in water or other liquid.  
Keep the appliance out of the reach of children and do not leave appliance unattended while  
in operation.  
Disconnect the plug from the power outlet when the machine is not in use and before cleaning.  
Do not operate the machine with a damaged cord or plug, after faulty operation, or when it  
has been damaged in any way. Contact the nearest De’Longhi service facility for examination,  
repair or adjustment.  
The use of accessories not recommended by the manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock,  
or personal injury.  
Do not use the machine outdoors.  
Make sure the power cord does not hang over the edge of the table or counter-top to avoid get-  
ting accidentally caught or entangled.  
Do not place the machine or its electrical parts on or near electric stoves, cooking surfaces, or  
gas burners.  
To disconnect the appliance remove plug from wall outlet.  
Do not use this machine for any purpose other than its intended use. This appliance is for com-  
mercial and household use. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage cau-  
sed by improper, incorrect, or irresponsible use.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR COMMERCIAL AND HOUSEHOLD USE.  
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS  
A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer  
cord. Longer detachable power supply cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their  
use. If a longer detachable power cord or extension cord is used (1) the marked electrical rating of the  
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) the longer  
cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or table top where it can be pulled  
on by children or tripped over unintentionally. The electrical rating of the appliance is listed on the bot-  
tom of the unit. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounded type  
3 wire cord. This appliance has a polarized plug. One blade is wider than the other. To reduce the risk  
of electrical shock this plug will fit in a polarized plug only one way. If the plug does not fit, contact a  
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

Plug the power  
cord into the  
outlet; press the  
On/Off button (P) and the On/Off light (Q)  
will come on. The brewing begins within  
seconds.  
Check that the voltage of the electrical mains cor-  
responds to the voltage shown on the appliance  
rating plate.  
Connect the appliance only to an efficiently  
grounded power outlet with a minimum rating of  
10 A. The manufacturer may not be considered  
liable for possible incidents caused by failure to  
adequately ground the outlet.  
Never install the appliance in a room where the  
temperature may reach 32°F/0°C or lower (the  
appliance may be damaged if the water free-  
zes).  
Lift the cover by pressing down and turning  
counterclockwise. Remove the internal parts (fil-  
ter basket and pump tube).

HOW TO MAKE COFFEE  
Place the appliance on the base without plug-  
ging into the outlet.

(Select Models Only)  
When the coffee  
Open the cover by pressing on the knob and  
turning counterclockwise until it releases from  
the handles.  
Fill with cold fresh water to the mark for the  
number of cups you want to make. Do not fill  
above the level of 50 or 60 cups (depending  
on model). Check the amount of water filled on  
the level indicator.  
NEVER FILL BEYOND THE MAXIMUM LEVEL OF  
50 OR 60 CUPS (DEPENDING ON MODEL)!  
Wet the filter basket (D – this keeps the ground  
coffee from sticking). Add coffee to filter basket  
using a standard tablespoon or a measuring  
cup. We recommend percolator or course  
ground coffee for best results. Table 1 shows  
the recommended amounts of coffee.  
Place the filter basket on the pump tube (F).  
Then place the tube-basket assembly inside the  
urn, making sure the pump tube is correctly  
positioned at the center of the boiler.

On the models with  
a thermostat, select  
the keep warm  
temperature by turning the knob to the desired  
position (fig. 3). Some models have a FRESHNESS  
indicator that shows how long it has been since the  
last coffee was brewed. When the coffee is just  
made, the light turns green, and every 20 minutes  
a triangle segment of the light becomes red.  
When the entire light is red, this means that at least  
1 hour has passed since the last preparation. The  
coffee is kept warm as long as the appliance is on.

Lock the cover into the urn. To do this correctly,  
press down on the cover and turn clockwise (fig.  
1) until it hooks into the tabs of the handles.

CARE AND CLEANING  
TIPS  
1. Before making coffee the first time, operate  
the coffee urn without using ground coffee to  
remove any dust residues from inside the  
appliance.  
If the water in your local area is hard, lime scale  
will form over time. These deposits may affect the  
correct operation of the appliance.  
The coffee urn should be descaled every 50 cycles  
To descale, use one of the commercially available  
scale removers for this type of appliance and fol-  
low the instructions on the package.  
1. Wipe outside with a soft damp cloth only. Do  
not use solvents or abrasive detergents.  
2. Wash the inside of the coffee urn with warm  
water and a mild detergent. Do not immerse  
the base or the body of the urn in water: it is  
an electrical appliance.  
3. The cover, filter basket, and pump tube may be  
washed in the dishwasher. Make sure the bot-  
tom of the pump tube is clean. If necessary,  
hold it under running water or use a toothpick  
to remove any coffee grounds.  
2. To reheat the coffee, remove the pump tube  
and filter basket, replace the cover and plug  
the unit in. The coffee will be hot in 20 to 60  
minutes, depending on the amount of coffee  
left. Do not reheat if less than 20 cups are left  
in the coffee urn.  
3. The appliance  
comes with a  
sliding tray for  
the drip tray or  
cup (fig. 4).  
This prevents  
coffee  
dripping onto  
the floor or  
countertop.  
from  
4
4. Store the coffee urn with the cover off.  
4. For the best  
results use percolator grind coffee, as it is  
coarser and will not pass through the basket.  
After making coffee a number of times you  
will know the right amount of coffee to use.  
As a starting point, see Table 1.
