12. DELIVERING HOT WATER
Important! Danger of scalding.
Never leave the machine unattended when hot water is being
released.
1. Make sure the hot water spout (C6) is attached correctly;
2. Place a container under the water spout (as close as possi-
ble to avoid splashes) (fig. 5);
3. Press
(B4) and scroll through the drinks in the
menu by pressing the selection arrows (B2) or (B4) until
"Hot water" is selected;
4. Press
(B3): a progress bar appears and gradually fills
as preparation proceeds;
5. The machine delivers about 250 ml of hot water, then
delivery stops automatically. To interrupt hot water deliv-
ery manually, press the selection arrow corresponding to
"STOP" (B4).
Please note:
•
If "Energy Saving" mode is active, there may be a few sec-
onds pause before hot water is delivered.
•
The quantity of water delivered can be customized (see
section "6.3 Program drinks").
13. CLEANING
13.1 Cleaning the machine
The following parts of the machine must be cleaned regularly:
-
the appliance's internal circuit;
-
coffee grounds container (A11);
-
drip tray (A15) and condensate tray (A10);
-
water tank (A17);
-
coffee spouts (A9);
-
pre-ground coffee funnel (A4);
-
brewing group (A20), accessible after opening the brewing
group door (A19);
-
milk container (D);
-
hot water/steam connection nozzle (A8);
Important!
•
Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to clean
the coffee machine. With De'Longhi superautomatic coffee
machines, no chemical products are required for cleaning
purposes.
•
None of the components of the appliance can be washed
in a dishwasher with the exception of the drip tray grille
(A14) and milk container (D).
•
Do not use metal objects to remove encrustations or coffee
deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces.
13.2 Cleaning the 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 pressing
•
release hot water for a few seconds (section "12. Delivering
hot water").
Please note:
Water may find its way into the grounds container (A11) during
the above rinse procedure: this is quite normal.
13.3 Cleaning the coffee grounds container
When "Empty grounds container" appears on the display (B1),
the grounds container must be emptied and cleaned. The ap-
pliance cannot be used to make coffee until you have cleaned
the grounds container (A11). 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 unplugged.
Important! Danger of scalding
If you make a number of cappuccinos one after the other, the
metal cup tray (A12) 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 (A15) (fig. 23), empty and clean.
•
Empty the grounds container (A11) and clean thorough-
ly to remove all residues left on the bottom. This can be
done using the spatula on the brush (C5) provided (certain
models only).
•
Check the red condensate tray (A10) and empty if
necessary;
Important!
When removing the drip tray, the grounds container must be
emptied, even if it contains only a few grounds.
If this is not done, when you make the next coffees, the grounds
container will fill up more than expected and clog the machine.
