7. Once the required quantity of coffee has been delivered
into the cup, press the
OK
button again. Coffee delivery
stops.
The machine is now reprogrammed with the new milk and cof-
fee quantities.
11. DELIVERING HOT WATER AND STEAM
Important! Danger of burns.
Do not leave the appliance unattended while hot water or steam
is being delivered. The hot water spout (C6) becomes hot during
delivery. Hold by the handle only.
Please note!
If “Energy Saving” is active, you may have to wait a few seconds
before hot water and steam are delivered.
11.1 Hot water
1. Make sure the hot water spout (C6) is attached correctly
(fig. 7).
2. Place a cup under the spout (as close as possible to avoid
splashes).
3. Press the
button (B7- fig. 6). “HOT WATER” appears on
the display (B13), together with a progress bar which fills
gradually as preparation proceeds.
4. The machine delivers about 250 ml of hot water, then
delivery stops automatically. To interrupt delivery of hot
water manually, press the
button again.
11.2 Changing the quantity of water delivered
automatically
The machine is set by default to automatically deliver 250 ml of
hot water. To modify these quantities, proceed as follows:
1. Position a cup under the hot water spout (C6).
2. Press and hold the
button (B7) until “HOT WATER Pro-
gram quantity” appears on the display (B13), then release
the
button.
3. When the hot water in the cup reaches the required level,
press the
button again.
The machine is now reprogrammed with the new quantity.
11.3 Steam delivery
1. Make sure the hot water spout (C6) is attached correctly
(fig. 7).
2. Fill a container with the liquid to be heated/frothed and
immerse the steam/hot water spout in the liquid.
3. Press the
button (B8). After a few seconds, the steam
to heat the liquid comes out of the hot water/steam spout
and “STEAM” is displayed.
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.
11.4 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 as described in the following section.
11.5 Cleaning the spout after use
Always clean the hot water/steam 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/steam spout and
press the
button (B7) to deliver a little water (fig. 6).
Stop the flow of hot water by pressing the
button
again.
2. Wait a few minutes for the hot water/steam spout to cool
down, then press the button (C7) to remove it (fig. 28A).
Hold the spout with one hand and with the other, turn the
hot water/steam spout anticlockwise (fig. 28B) and pull
downwards to remove.
3. Also remove the steam connection nozzle by pulling it
downwards (fig. 29).
4. Check the hole shown by the arrow in fig. 30 is not blocked.
If necessary, clean with a pin.
5. Wash all parts of the hot water/steam 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.
12. CLEANING
12.1 Cleaning the machine
The following parts of the machine must be cleaned regularly:
- the appliance’s internal circuit;
- coffee grounds container (A10);
- drip tray (A12) and condensate tray (A9);
- water tank (A16);
- coffee spouts (A7);
- pre-ground coffee funnel (A4);
- infuser (A15), accessible after opening the service door
(A14);
- milk container (D);
- hot water/steam spout (C6 - section “11.5 Cleaning the
spout after use”);
- hot water/steam connection nozzle (A8);
- 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.
12.2 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 (see section “8.1 Rinsing”);
- deliver hot water for a few seconds by pressing the
button (B7).
Please note!
After cleaning, it is normal for the grounds container (A10) to
contain water.
12.3 Cleaning the coffee grounds container
When “EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER” appears on the display
(B13), the grounds container must be emptied and cleaned. The
appliance cannot be used to make coffee until you have cleaned
the grounds container (A10). Even if not full, the empty grounds
container message is displayed 72 hours after the first coffee has
been prepared. For the 72 hours to be calculated correctly, the
machine must never be turned off with the main switch (A20).
Important! Danger of burns
If you make a number of cappuccinos one after the other, the
metal cup tray (A11) becomes hot. Wait for it to cool down be-
fore touching it and handle it from the front only.
To clean (with the machine on):
• Remove the drip tray (A12) (fig. 31), empty and clean.
• Empty the grounds container (A10) and clean thoroughly
to remove all residues left on the bottom. This can be done
using the spatula on the brush (C5) provided.
•
Check the condensate tray (A9) and empty if necessary (fig.
32).
Important!
