of

hot water manually, press the

button again.

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

41°F/5°C).

• For a creamier froth, rotate the

container with slow movements in

an upward direction.

• To avoid milk with poor froth or large

bubbles, always clean the spout.

Delivering steam

1.

Make sure the

hot water spout

is attached

correctly.

2. Fill a container

with the liquid

to be heated/

frothed and immerse the spout/

cappuccino maker in the liquid.

3.

Press the button.

After a few seconds,

the steam to heat the liquid comes

out of the cappuccino maker.

4.

When the required temperature/foam

is obtained, interrupt steam delivery by

pressing the

button again.

(You should not discharge steam for

more than 3 minutes at a time).

Important! Danger of burns.

Never leave the machine unsupervised while

delivering hot water or steam. The spout becomes

hot during delivery. Hold by the handle only.

Please note! If “Energy Saving” mode is enabled,

you may have to wait a few seconds before the

hot water or steam is delivered.

TEST YOUR WATER

Measuring Water Hardness

1. Remove the “total hardness test” indicator paper attached to the owner’s instruction

booklet from its pack.

2. Immerse the paper completely in a glass of water for one second.

3. Remove the paper from the water and shake lightly. After about a minute,

1,2,3, or 4 red squares form, depending on the hardness of the water.

Each square corresponds to one level.

Choosing the water hardness is very

important to set the correct frequency of

the descaling cycles.

Keeping the machine clean will improve

its performance and prolong the life of

ABCDE

Important!

• Descaler contains acids which may irritate the skin and eyes. It is vital to respect the manufacturer’s safety warnings

given on the descaler pack and

the warnings relating to the procedure to follow in the

event of contact with the skin

and eyes. Use De’Longhi

descaler only. Under no circumstances

should you use sulphamic or acetic based descalers.

Their use invalidates the guarantee. Failure to descale the

appliance as described also invalidates the guarantee.

Important! Danger of Burns

Hot water containing acid flows from

the spout. Avoid contact with splashes

of water.
