Important:
The cappuccino maker must always be washed after use to
ensure hygiene.
Proceed as follows:
1. Discharge a little steam for a few seconds by rotating the
steam dial (fig. 16).
2. Wait several minutes for the steam tube to cool down.
Unscrew the cappuccino maker by rotating clockwise (fig.
18) and wash thoroughly with warm water.
3. make sure the three holes in the cappuccino maker (fig.
19) are not blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin.
4. clean the steam tube, taking care to avoid burns.
5. Screw the cappuccino maker back in place.
Production of hot water
1. Turn the appliance on by rotating the selector dial to the
position (fig. 4).
2. Place a recipient under the cappuccino maker.
3. When the ok indicator light comes on, turn the selector
dial to the
position (fig. 7) and at the same time,
rotate the steam dial anticlockwise (fig. 16). Hot water is
delivered from the cappuccino maker.
4. To interrupt delivery of hot water, rotate the steam dial
clockwise and position the selector dial to “o” (fig. 13)
(You should not deliver hot water for more than one
minute at a time).
Cleaning
Danger!
Before performing any cleaning operations of the external
parts of the appliance, switch the machine off, remove the plug
from the socket and let the machine cool down.
Cleaning and maintenance of the filter
clean the filter-holder and ground coffee filters about every
300 coffees or when the coffee drips through the filter-holder
and does not flow completely:
• Remove the filter from the filter-holder.
• Rinse and clean the metal filter thoroughly using hot
water and a brush (fig. 20). check that the holes in the
metal filter are not blocked. If this is not the case, clean
them using a pin (fig. 21).
The warranty is not valid if the cleaning operations described
above are not performed on a regular basis.
Cleaning the boiler outlet
About every 300 coffees the espresso boiler outlet must be
cleaned as follows:
• Make sure that the coffee machine is not hot and the plug
is disconnected from the socket;
• Use a screwdriver to remove the screw that fixes the es-
presso boiler outlet (fig. 22);
• Remove the boiler outlet;
• Clean the boiler using a damp cloth;
• Clean the outlet thoroughly using hot water and a brush.
check that the holes are not blocked. If this is not the case,
clean them using a pin.
• Rinse the outlet under the tap, rubbing continuously.
• Re-mount the boiler outlet, paying attention to position it
correctly on the gasket (fig. 23).
The warranty is not valid if the cleaning operations described
above are not performed on a regular basis.
Other cleaning operations
1. Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents to clean the
machine. Use a soft, damp cloth.
2. clean the filter-holder cup, the filters, drip tray and water
tank regularly.
Danger!
During cleaning, never immerse the machine in water: it is an
electric appliance.
Descaling
It is essential to descale the machine about every 200 coffees
particularly in hard water areas. It is recommended to use
De’Longhi descaler that can be found on the market.
follow this procedure:
1. fill the tank with the descaling solution obtained by dilut-
ing the descaler with water on the basis of the indications
given on the pack.
2. rotate the selector dial to the
position and wait until
the ok indicator light comes on.
3. make sure that the filter holder is not attached and posi-
tion a container under the machine outlet.
4. rotate the selector knob to the
position (fig. 8) and
and allow about 1/4 of the solution contained in the tank
to flow out: every now and again turn the steam dial and
allow a small amount of solution to escape; then interrupt
by pressing the button again and leave the solution to act
for about 5 minutes.
5. repeat point 4 another 3 times, until the tank is com-
pletely empty.
