2. Fill a container with the liquid to be heated/frothed and
immerse the spout in the liquid;
3. Press the
button (B8). After a few seconds, the steam
to heat the liquid comes out of the spout and “STEAM” ap-
pears on the display (B4);
4. When the required temperature is obtained, interrupt steam
delivery by pressing the
button again. (You should not
discharge steam for more than 3 minutes at a time).
Important!
Always stop steam delivery before extracting the container con-
taining the liquid to avoid burns from splashes.
9.4 Tips for using steam to froth milk
• When choosing the size of the container, bear in mind that
the liquid doubles or triples in volume;
• For a richer denser froth, use skimmed or partially skimmed
milk at refrigerator temperature (about 5°C);
• For a creamier froth, rotate the container with slow move-
ments in an upward direction;
• To avoid milk with poor froth or large bubbles, always clean
the spout (C6) as described in the following section.
9.5 Cleaning the spout after use
Always clean the hot water spout (C6) after use to avoid the
build-up of milk residues and prevent it from clogging.
1. Place a container under the hot water spout and press the
button (B5) to deliver a little water. Stop hot
water delivery by pressing the
button again;
2. Wait a few minutes for the hot water spout to cool down,
then press the button (C7) on the hot water spout and re-
move it (fig. 22A). Hold the spout with one hand and with
the other, turn the cappuccino maker anticlockwise (fig.
22B) and pull downwards to remove;
3. Also remove the steam connection nozzle by pulling it
downwards (fig. 27A);

4. Check the hole shown by the arrow in fig. 27B is not
blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin;
5. Wash all parts of the spout thoroughly with a sponge and
warm water;
6. Reinsert the nozzle and replace the cappuccino maker on
the nozzle, pushing it upwards and turning it until it is
attached.
10. CLEANING
10.1 Cleaning the machine
The following parts of the machine must be cleaned regularly:
- the appliance’s internal circuit;
- coffee grounds container (A18);
- drip tray (A16) and condensate tray (A14);
- water tank (A7);
- coffee spouts (A11);
- pre-ground coffee funnel (A4);
- infuser (A19), accessible after opening the infuser door
(A21);
- milk container (D);
- cappuccino maker/hot water spout (C6 - section “9.5
Cleaning the spout after use”);
- hot water/steam connection nozzle (A12);
- display (B).
Important!
• Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to clean
the coffee machine. With De’Longhi superautomatic coffee
machines, you need not use chemical products to clean the
machine.
• None of the components of the appliance can be washed in
a dishwasher with the exception of the milk container (D).
• Do not use metal objects to remove encrustations or coffee
deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces.
10.2 Cleaning the machine’s internal circuit
If the appliance is not used for more than 3/4 days, before using
it again, we strongly recommend switching it on and:
- performing 2-3 rinse cycles by selecting the “Rinse” func-
tion in the settings menu (see section “6.1 Rinsing”);
- deliver hot water for a few seconds by pressing the
button (B5).
Please note!
• After cleaning, it is normal for the coffee grounds container
(A18) to contain water.
10.3 Cleaning the coffee grounds container
When “EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER” appears on the display
(B4), the grounds container must be emptied and cleaned. The
appliance cannot be used to make coffee until you have cleaned
the grounds container (A18). Even if not full, the empty grounds
container message is displayed 72 hours after the first coffee has
