3. Press the
button (B7). “HOT WATER” appears on the
display (B4), together with a progress bar which fills grad-
ually as preparation proceeds;
4. The machine delivers about 8,45 fl.oz/250ml of hot water,
then delivery stops automatically. To interrupt delivery of
hot water manually, press the
button again.
Please note!
If “energy saving” mode is active, you may have to wait a few
seconds before the hot water is delivered.
10.1 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 container under the spouts (C6);
2. Press the
button (B7) again until “HOT WATER Pro-
gram quantity” appears on the display (B4), 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. CLEANING
11.1 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 connection nozzle (A8);
- control panel (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.
11.2 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 “7.1 Rinsing”);
• delivering 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.
11.3 Cleaning the coffee grounds container
When “EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER” appears on the dis-
play (B4), the grounds container (A10) must be emptied and
cleaned. The appliance cannot be used to make coffee until you
have cleaned the grounds container. 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.
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. 27), 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.
28).
Important!
When removing the drip tray, the grounds container must be
emptied, even if it contains few grounds. If this is not done,
when you make the next coffees, the grounds container may fill
up more than expected and clog the machine.
11.4 Cleaning the drip tray and condensate tray
Important!
The drip tray (A12) is fitted with a level indicator (A13) (red)
showing the level of water it contains (fig. 29). Before the in-
dicator protrudes from the cup tray (A11), the drip tray must be
emptied and cleaned, otherwise the water may overflow the
edge and damage the appliance, the surface it rests on or the
surrounding area. To remove the drip tray:
