onds after delivery.
Please note: The water temperature is controlled during the
entire preparation process to ensure its stability during the ex-
traction step. The appliance has 3 infusion temperatures.
The temperature eectively utilized will depend typically on
the variety of beans and the roast: Robusta beans require a
lower temperature, and Arabica beans a higher temperature.
The same applies for dark roasted beans which require lower
temperatures and for light roasted beans which require high-
er brewing temperatures respectively (see the menù setting to
change the temperature).
At the end of delivery, the indicator light of the previously
pressed icon blinks for 5 seconds. To increase the amount of cof-
feeinthecup,pressthecoeeiconpressedpreviouslyforthe
desired time within 5 seconds.

MAKING MILK OR PLANT BASED MILK BEVERAGES
• TurntheapplianceonbypressingtheOn/Oswitch(A6).If
the appliance is in stand-by mode, press any icons (B1, B2,
B3 or B4) on the control panel.
• When all the indicator lights on the control panel (except
B5) remain on steadily, the appliance is ready for use.
• To use tall cups or glasses, remove the drip tray (A8) and
standtheglassesontray(g.8).

• Prepare the espressocoee asdescribedin the previous
sections,usingsucientlylargecups.
• Fill a jug (A13) with fresh cold milk or plant based milk
alternatives. Milk will up to triple in volume. For a denser
more even froth, you must use milk at refrigerator temper-
ature (about 5°C).
Please note: The use of fresh cold milk from the refrigerator
(4- 6°C) is mandatory. Always place the jug in the fridge when
not in use.
• Press the Steam icon (B2). The Steam indicator light blinks.
When the indicator light comes steady, the appliance is
ready to deliver steam.
When steam is ready, before frothing milk, position an
empty container under the hot water/steam wand (A5)
and turn the steam knob (A4) to
position for a few
seconds to eliminate any air left in the circuit. Turn the
steam knob (A4) to “
○” position and proceed.
• Place the jug under the hot water/steam wand (A5).
• Turn the steam knob (A4) to
position; the appliance
proceedstomakethefroth(g.9).
Please note: You should not deliver steam for more than 60
seconds.
9
Please note: Make sure to turn the steam knob completely.

6
To froth the milk,
rest the hot water/
steam wand on
the surface of the
liquid. This mixes
air with the milk
and steam.
Keep the hot wa-
ter/steam wand in
contact with the
surface, taking care
not to let in too
much air and create
excessively large
bubbles.
Immerse the hot
water/steam
wand below the
surface of the
milk, this creates
a vortex in the
liquid.
• Once the milk is heated to the desired temperature (ideally
60°C) and desired cream density have been reached, turn
the steam knob (A4) to “
○” position.
• Wait till steam stops completely before removing the milk
jug.
• Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the espresso
coeepreparedpreviously.Thecappuccinoisready.
4.1 Cleaning the hot water/steam wand (A5)
• Wait that the hot water/steam wand cool down. After
every use, remove with a soft damp cloth any milk residues
from the hot water/steam wand. For perfect cleaning, we
recommend Eco MultiClean: it ensures hygiene by remov-
ing milk proteins and fats and can be used to clean the
whole machine.
• Use some steam for a deeper cleaning: turn the steam
knob (A4) to
position for 5-10 seconds and then
close to “
○” position.
• To maintain the better usability of the steam wand, we
suggest to use the cleaning needle (A10) for opening the
holeofthenozzle(g12).
Barista tips: Whole milk is recommended. The appearance and
texture of froth depending on the nature of the dairy milk or
plantbasedmilkalternativeutilized.
Recommended quantity for each cappuccino: 100/150 ml.
After frothing the milk, eliminate unwanted bubbles by swirling
the jug gently.
Please note: Topreparemorethanonecappuccino,rstmake

To exit the steam function, turn the steam knob (A4) to “

sition and press any icons; in this case, the Espresso (B3) and 2
x Espresso (B4) indicator lights blink to indicate that the steam
knob must be closed again (“○” position).

9. CLEANING
Important: Whilecleaning,neverimmersethecoeemakerin
water. It is an electrical appliance. Before maintenance or clean-
ingoftheappliance,turnito,unplugfromthemainsocketand
allow to cool.
Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to clean the
coeeappliance.
None of the components or accessories is dishwasher safe.
Donotusemetalobjectstoremoveencrustationsorcoeede-
posits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces.
If the appliance is not used for more than one week, before using
it again, we strongly recommend you perform a rinse cycle.
The following parts of the appliance must be cleaned and dry
regularly:
• drip tray (A8):Thedriptrayisttedwithalevelindicator
(in red) showing the amount of water it contains. Before
the indicator protrudes from the cup grid, the drip tray (A8)
must be emptied and cleaned, otherwise the water may
overowtheedgeanddamagetheappliance,thesurface
it rests on or the surrounding area.
Remove the drip tray, empty the water and clean the drip
tray with a cloth, dry and then reassemble the drip tray un-
til you hear a ‘click’.

• cleaning the water tank (A2):
Periodically (about once a
week) clean the water tank (A2). Also whenever you replace
thewatersoftenerlter(ifpresent).
Empty the water tank and clean with warm water (40-50°C
approx), wiping if necessary with a clean, non-abrasive cloth.
Rinse thoroughly under running water.
Fill the water tank with fresh potable water up to the MAX
level and return it to the machine.
• hot water/steam wand (A5): After every use, remove
with a soft damp cloth any milk residues from the hot
water/steam wand. Turn the steam knob (A4) to
position. The appliance delivers water from the hot water/
steam wand.
Wait that the hot water/steam wand cool down and open

9.1 Switching o for extended periods (more than
3-4 days)
If the machine is not going to be used for any length of time (e.g.
holidays, periods of absence) empty out and clean the drip tray
and the water tank.
Please note: When turning the machine on again, c
lean the wa-
ter tank as described above (see “cleaning the water tank”).
Fill the water tank and, before making any kind of drink, run 3 rinse
cycles:eachtimerunashortowofwaterthroughthebrewunit

10. DESCALING
Before use, read the instructions and the labelling on the des-
caler pack.
It is important to use De’Longhi descaler only (available for pur-
chase at delonghi.com). Using unsuitable descaler and/or per-
forming descaling incorrectly may result in faults not covered by
the manufacturer’s guarantee.
Descaler could damage delicate surfaces. If the product is acci-
dentally spilt, dry immediately.
• Descale the appliance when the (B5) indicator light
turns on. Descaling cycle time: about 30 minutes.
• Remove and empy the drip tray (A8), then reposition it in
the appliance.
• Empty the water tank (A2) (if present, remove the water
softenerlter).
• Pour the descaler into the water tank. Add water up to level
MAX . Now reposition the water tank in the appliance.
• Makesuretheportalter(A14)isnotattachedandposition

• The (B5) and Steam (B2) indicator lights blink.
• The descale programme starts and the descaler liquid
comes out of the hot water/steam wand (A5) and brew unit
(A7). The descale programme removes limescale deposits
from inside the appliance by automatically performing a
series of rinses and pauses until the water tank is empty.
Please note: During descaling, to clean the brew unit, close the
steam knob from time to time to deliver small quantities of des-
calerfromthecoeeoutlet.
• Delivery stops and the (B5) and Steam (B2) indicator
lights stop blinking; (B5) and Cold brew (B2) indicator
lights remain on steadily.
