Warranty as per De'Longhi India's / the importer's terms and conditions — 1 year as stated in supplier material. The scope of cover, parts and labour, exclusions, product registration and the service process are subject to brand or importer policy and the final invoice or warranty card. Damage arising from scale build-up, failure to descale, use of an incorrect descaling product, use of unsuitable water, introduction of anything other than roasted coffee beans into the bean hopper, immersion of the machine body or unauthorised servicing is commonly excluded; consumable and accessory items including seals, gaskets, the milk carafe and system components, water tank and drip tray may be excluded or covered for a shorter period. Box contents are not stated in supplier material for this listing and must be confirmed before purchase; unit weight, bean hopper capacity, operating voltage, maximum cup clearance height and country of origin are also not stated and should be confirmed. Water capacity is stated in supplier material as 67.6 oz, given here as approximately 2 litres. Coffee quality, extraction, crema, milk texture and drink temperature depend substantially on the beans used, their roast level, freshness and storage, grind setting, dose, water quality and hardness, brewing temperature, cup preheating, machine cleanliness and scale condition, and on user technique; this is a semi-automatic machine and results improve with practice, with no particular outcome guaranteed. Latte art requires practice and is a user skill, not a machine function; the automatic LatteCrema Hot system produces milk foam and is not equivalent to the manual steam wand for producing fine microfoam. Guidance on brewing temperatures for different roast levels is general and not a manufacturer specification for this model. The stated 19 bar figure is the maximum capability of the pump and is not the pressure applied to the coffee throughout extraction. Cold Extraction Technology produces a rapid cold-extracted coffee and differs from traditional long-steep cold brew in method and result; the stated preparation time of under 5 minutes is a manufacturer specification measured under their own test conditions. This appliance produces pressurised hot water, live steam and hot milk which can cause severe burns and contains a powered grinder: the steam wand remains hot after use, the portafilter must not be removed during extraction, nothing may be inserted into the grinder or hopper while the machine is connected to power, and the machine must be kept out of reach of children during and after operation. Only designated removable parts may be washed; the machine body must never be immersed and the appliance must be unplugged before cleaning or descaling. At a stated height of 46.5 cm, clearance beneath wall units and above for filling should be checked before purchase. Regular cleaning of both milk systems and the grinder and periodic descaling are required and are the user's responsibility; descaling products, filters and servicing are chargeable separately unless expressly included on the final invoice. In hard-water areas the use of filtered or treated water is recommended.
