- Make sure the power cord does not hang over the edge of the table or counter-top to avoid getting accidentally caught or entangled.
- Do not place the machine or its electrical parts on or near electric stoves, cooking surfaces, or gas burners.
- Plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, first turn machine “off ”, then remove plug from wall outlet.
- Do not use this machine for any purpose other than its intended use. This appliance is for household use only. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage caused by improper, incorrect, or irresponsible use.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove the cover or the exterior of the unit. Don’t attempt to repair or modify the machine, doing so will void the warranty. Repair should be done by authorized service personnel only!
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
- A short power cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
- Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
- If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is provided with 3- wire, grounding type cord, the extension should be a GROUNDING TYPE 3 – WIRE CORD. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter-top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
- Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

- Water penetrating the machine could cause damage. Do not place the appliance near taps or sinks.
- The appliance could be damaged if the water it contains freezes. Do not install the appliance in a room where the temperature could drop below freezing point.
- Arrange the cord in such a way that it cannot be damaged by sharp edges or come with contact with hot surfaces (e.g. electric hot plates).
- Adjust the cord length and store the excess in the cord guide under the machine.
Connecting the appliance
Check that the mains power supply voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate on the bottom of the appliance. Connect the appliance to an efficiently earthed and correctly installed socket with a minimum current rating of 10A only.
If the power socket does not match the plug on the appliance, have the socket replaced with a suitable type by a qualified professional. The first time you use the appliance, rinse with hot water all removable accessories which may come into contact with water.
The first time you use the machine, the water circuit is empty and the appliance could be very noisy. The noise becomes less as the circuit fills.

CARAFE (S) (some models only)
Ensure your carafe (S) is clean and empty before brewing. Residual coffee will affect the taste and can cause overflow. Lock the carafe lid and place the carafe under the coffee spout.
Pre-heating
To obtain best results it is recommended to pre-heat the carafe or cup. A pre-heated carafe will help maintain the coffee’s optimal temperature and keep coffee hotter for longer time. To pre-heat the carafe fill it with hot water, wait about 30 seconds and empty the carafe.
Cleaning the carafe
After each use and before brewing a new preparation, empty the carafe. Rinse the carafe and the carafe lid under warm running water. We also recommend regularly washing the carafe in warm, soapy water using a soft bristled brush. Rinse and dry. Do not use abrasive pads, cloths or cleaners which can scratch the surface.
CLEANING
Important: Before maintenance or cleaning of the appliance, turn off and unplug. Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to clean the coffee machine. Do not use metal objects to remove encrustations or coffee deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces. Disposal water container (P), coffee grounds container (Q) and carafe (S) can be washed in a dishwasher, the other components of the machine can not be washed in a dishwasher.
The following parts of the machine must be cleaned regularly:
- Coffee grounds container (Q): When the coffee grounds container (Q) is full the
icon lights on.
To access to the components remove the tray assemble (L). Extract and empty the grounds container and clean thoroughly to remove all residues left on the bottom. The appliance cannot be used to make coffee until you have cleaned the grounds container. Even if not full, empty the coffee grounds container after two, three days. - Disposal water container (P): empty and clean with a damp cloth and a little mild washing up liquid.
- Drip tray (R): the drip tray is fitted with a water level indicator (O) showing the amount of water it contains. Before the indicator protrudes from the cup tray (N), the drip tray must be emptied and cleaned, otherwise the water may overflow the edge and damage the appliance, the surface it rests on or the surrounding area.
Please note: When cleaning the drip tray, the grounds (Q) and water (P) containers must always be emptied, even if it has not filled up appreciably. - Infuser (I): The infuser must be cleaned at least once a month. Press the two red release buttons inwards and at the same time pull the infuser outwards. Soak the infuser in water for about 5 minutes, then rinse under the tap.
- Do not use detergents to clean the infuser as this could cause damage. Remove any coffee residues left in the infuser housing. After cleaning, replace the infuser by sliding it onto the internal support, then push the PUSH symbol fully in until it clicks into place.
Please note: The infuser cannot be extracted when the machine is on. Make sure the machine has run the shutdown procedure correctly. - Pre-ground coffee funnel (B): Check regularly (about once a month) that the pre-ground coffee funnel is not blocked. If necessary, remove coffee deposits with a brush.
- Water tank (F): clean the water tank regularly (about once a month) with a damp cloth and a little mild washing up liquid.

DeLonghi CAM51025 Automatic Coffee Machine-FAQs
What do the symbols on the DeLonghi coffee machine mean?
The exclamation mark with a blinking coffee bean symbol means the bean hopper is empty and needs refilling. If both symbols blink, the ground coffee funnel may be clogged, which can be cleared with a brush or spoon handle.
How do I use my DeLonghi coffee maker?
First, fill the water tank, preheat the machine for 15 minutes by turning the knob to the squiggly line symbol, add coffee grounds to the filter, place the filter in position, set a cup under the nozzle, and turn the knob to start brewing.
What do the different buttons on a coffee machine do?
Generally, buttons include options for single shot, double shot, single long, and double long. Many machines also feature a ‘free pour’ button and a hot water button for dispensing hot water.
What is the ideal grind setting for the DeLonghi machine?
For pour-over and automatic drip coffee, a medium grind works best. For smaller, single-serve brews, a slightly finer grind may help with quicker extraction.
How do I adjust coffee settings on my DeLonghi machine?
At the factory, an espresso is set at approximately 40ml and a regular coffee at 120ml. Adjustments can be made to customize each of the four buttons for different servings.
How do I brew coffee step-by-step with this machine?
Add cold water to the reservoir, place a filter in the basket, add medium-ground coffee, start brewing, and enjoy your fresh coffee.
How many scoops of coffee should I use?
Use one scoop of ground coffee per beverage for an optimal brew.
How do automatic coffee machines work?
The machine pressurizes water and pumps it to a boiler to heat it to the correct temperature. The hot water then flows through the coffee grounds, extracting flavor before pouring into the cup.
Which grind size is best for espresso and other coffee styles?
Medium grind works well for drip coffee, medium-fine for stovetop or Aeropress, fine for espresso, and superfine for Turkish coffee.
How long can I expect my DeLonghi coffee machine to last?
With regular cleaning and maintenance, a DeLonghi coffee machine like the Magnifica model typically lasts between 2 to 3 years.
