Hi Guys, I was wondering if anyone can help me.

I just received my Delonghi esam2800 coffee machine today which I purchased from Amazon.

I unpacked it and followed the instructions to turn it on for the first time, but unfortunately I can't seem to get it to work.

It powers up, and immediately the three top lights (one cup, two cups & steam lights) start flashing in unison and the system is unresponsive apart from the shutdown procedure.

I have looked in the manual and also on the internet to identify what these lights mean but with no success.

Does anyone have any idea what might be up with it?

Any help would be really appreciated.

is the steam knob (beside the wand) turned ON before you turn ON the machine. ?
If so rotate fully clockwise to off position.

Wait a minute of 2 it should go into a heating up/cleaning mode. The lights should stop blinking then

Zimmerframe - Nope, the steam knob is turned off - if it was on it would produce three sequentially flashing lights. These are simultaneous.

keith_d99 - It doesnt go into heat up/cleaning mode. It stays flashing and unresponsive for about 30 minutes, then does a cleaning cycle before shutting down.

The water doesn't seem to heat up either when it's in this mode as there's no heat from the unit whatsoever. I've emailed delonghi, but they say not to expect a response for up to 5 working days. Perfect timing over Christmas!

Better to get on to Amazon they might sort you out with a replacement before Christmas. Best customer service bar none

See the video here at 4:20 - the three lights flash simultaneously, and it says the machine was switched on with the steam wand in the on position. The movement is quite stiff in mine - make sure it’s fully off before turning on, otherwise this is most likely the source of the problem with a faulty knob.

Had the same thing with mine, turned the steam wand to on and kept flushing water through for a minute or two, should work then

Generally you get it after steaming some milk and you want to revert back from steam to pull a shot. The two cup lights flash as a warning indicator that the machine is too hot and needs to cool down. Turn the steam wand on till water runs through it for 5 seconds and it speeds up the cooling process or you’d be forever making coffees - this sounds like the scenario you’re referring to.

I reckon this process is to purge water through machine at first use.

Mad M, you are indeed correct. It seems it failed to finish its purging process. I reset it and let it purge again until complete.

I got this helpful email from Delonghi:

Good morning

Thank you for your email

To get the machine to work you will need to carry out the initial use prime of the machine, Plug the machine in to the point that the 2 cups and the steam light are flashing, Place a mug or jug under the steam wand, Open the steam valve and allow the machine to pump water till it stops.

Once this stops close the valve, the machine will now power down. Press the stand by button and move the mug to the coffee nozzles, The machine will then run a rinse cycle and then the coffee lights should go steady. Your machine should now be ready for use.

Many thanks

Happy Christmas & a peaceful New year.

Thanks for all your help guys. It's blummin fantastic!

did anyone get any stuff delivered from here?

I registered the machine and have an account on seriousaboutcoffee site (where you get redirected to from the de'longhi site) but didn't get any confirmation email...?

I see that what you're supposed to get varies by what machine - I didn't see the 4200 listed at all in the offers page.

lastly I put in Ireland after county on the offers page - was it only for uk as there was nothing about country....?

a question also about the 4200 - do most people use 2 shots for a cup of say americano. (with coffee strength max). is it better to use the 2 cup button or do 1 cup twice (or is it effective the same thing)?

I use the 2 cup button almost exclusively. One big advantage is it will have the 2 shots of grounds compressed into one puck which saves a bit of space in the empties drawer. When ya use it as much as I do, emptying that gets tedious! ðŸ˜€

What settings do you have for the grinder, plus cup size and bean strength? After doing some reading and help from boards members a single shot is around 20 seconds extraction time

I have the grinder at 7 I think, full strength, and I set the cup size to the 1 o'clock mark roughly. Never timed it though.
