DeLonghi ECO 310.BK Operating Instructions Manual page 4

Nota Bene:
• if more than one cappuccino is to be prepared, first
make all of the coffees and then prepare the milk for
all of the cappuccinos;
• if more coffee must be prepared after the milk has
been frothed, allow the boiler to cool first otherwise
the coffee will be burned.
To cool it, position a container under the filter-
holder spouts (fig. 11), press the steam button and
allow water to run out until the steam function light
switches off: then prepare the coffee.
Maximum steam delivery of 60 seconds is recom-
mended and the milk must not be frothed more
than 3 times consecutively.
Attention: the cappuccino maker must always be
washed after use to ensure hygiene.
Proceed as follows:
1. Discharge a small amount of steam for a few sec-
onds (see points 2,5 and 6 of the previous para-
graph) by turning the steam knob (fig. 18). By do-
ing this, the cappuccino maker empties any milk
left inside. Switch the machine off by pressing the
ON/OFF button.
2. Use one hand to hold the cappuccino tube and the
other to release the cappuccino maker by turning it
clockwise and pulling it downwards (fig. 19).
3. Remove the steam nozzle from the tube by pulling
it downwards (fig. 20).
4. Wash the cappuccino maker and steam nozzle thor-
oughly in warm water.
5. Make sure that the two holes indicated by the ar-
rows in fig. 21 are not blocked. Clean using a pin if
necessary.
6. Re-mount the steam nozzle by inserting it firmly
upwards into the steam tube.
7. Re-mount the cappuccino maker by inserting it up-
wards and turning it anti-clockwise.
productIon of Hot Water
1. Switch the machine on by pressing the on/off but-
ton (fig. 4). Wait for the OK light to switch on (fig.
6).
2. Position a container under the cappuccino maker.
3. Press the coffee button (fig. 7) and turn the steam
knob anti-clockwise at the same time (fig. 18): the
hot water will escape from the cappuccino maker.
4. To interrupt the hot water, turn the steam knob
clockwise and press the coffee button again (fig.
7).
Maximum delivery of 60 seconds is recommend-
ed.

Danger! Before performing any cleaning opera-
tions of the external parts of the appliance, switch
the machine off, remove the plug from the socket

cleaning and maintenance of the filter
Clean the filter-holder and ground coffee filters about
every 300 coffees and, however, when the coffee drips
through the filter-holder and does not flow completely:
• Remove the filter from the filter-holder.
• Unscrew the filter cap (fig. 22) in the direction indi-
cated by the arrow on the cap itself.
• Slide the cream enhancer device from the container
by pushing it from the cap end.
• Remove the gasket.
• Rinse all components and clean the metal filter thor-
oughly using hot water and a brush (fig. 23). Check
that the holes in the metal filter are not blocked. If
this is not the case, clean them using a pin (see fig.
24).
• Re-mount the filter and the gasket on the plastic
disc as indicated in figure 25. Make sure that the
plastic disc pin is inserted inside the hole in the
gasket as indicated by the arrow in fig. 25.
• Re-insert the unit obtained into the steel container
for the filter (fig. 26), making sure that the pin is in-
serted into the hole of the support itself (see arrow
fig. 26).
• Finally, tighten the tap.
The warranty is not valid if the cleaning operations de-
scribed above are not performed on a regular basis.
cleaning the boiler outlet
About every 300 coffees the espresso boiler outlet must
be cleaned as follows:
• Make sure that the coffee machine is not hot and
the plug is disconnected from the socket;
• Use a screwdriver to remove the screw that fixes
the espresso boiler outlet (fig. 27);
• Remove the boiler outlet;
• Clean the boiler using a damp cloth (fig. 27);10
• Clean the outlet thoroughly using hot water and a
brush. Check that the holes are not blocked. If this
is not the case, clean them using a pin (fig. 24).
• Rinse the outlet under the tap, rubbing continu-
ously.
• Re-mount the boiler outlet, paying attention to po-
sition it correctly on the gasket.
