Tips For A Hotter Coffee; Making Cappuccinos And Milk-Based Coffees; Filling And Attaching The Milk Container; Adjusting The Amount Of Froth - DeLonghi ECAM51 55 Series Instructions For Use Manual

If the coffee is delivered too slowly or not
at all, turn one click clockwise towards 7.
For fuller bodied creamier coffee, turn
one click anticlockwise towards 1 (do not
turn more than one click at a time other-
wise the coffee could be delivered a drop
at a time).
These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of
coffee have been delivered. If this adjustment does not obtain
the desired result, turn the dial another click.

5.2 Tips for a hotter coffee

For hotter coffee, you should:
• perform a rinse cycle by selecting the "Rinsing" function in
the settings menu (section "8.1 Rinsing");
• warm the cups with hot water using the hot water function
(see section "12. Delivering hot water");
• increase the coffee temperature in the "Settings" menu
(see section "8.2 General").
10. MAKING CAPPUCCINOS AND MILK-BASED
COFFEES
Please note:
• To avoid milk with poor froth or large bubbles, always
clean the milk container lid (D2) and hot water connection
nozzle (A15) as described in sections "8.2 Cleaning the milk
container after use", "4.3 Cleaning the milk container" and
"9.1 Cleaning the hot water nozzle".

5.3 Filling and attaching the milk container

1. Remove the lid (D2) (fig. 12);
2. Fill the milk container (D3) with a sufficient quantity of milk,
not exceeding the MAX level marked on the handle (fig. 13).
Each mark on the side of the container corresponds to 100
ml of milk;
3. Make sure the milk intake tube (D4) is correctly inserted in
the bottom of the milk container lid (fig. 14);
4. Place the lid back on the milk container;
5. If present, extract the hot water/steam spout (C6) by press-
ing the release button (C7) (fig. 15);
6. Attach the container to the connection nozzle and push
as far as it will go (fig. 16). The machine emits a beep (if
enabled);
7. Place a sufficiently large cup under the coffee spouts (A14)
and frothed milk spout (D5). Adjust the length of the milk
spout. To move it nearer the cup, simply pull it downwards
(fig. 17);
8. Follow the instructions below for each function.
Please note:
• For a denser more even froth, you must use skimmed or
partially skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature (about
5°C).
• If "Energy Saving" mode is enabled, you may have to wait a
few seconds before the beverage is delivered.
