FAQs
How do I adjust the coffee grind size?
Turn the grinder adjustment knob located inside the bean hopper. Move it towards '1' for a finer grind or towards '7' for a coarser grind. It's recommended to adjust while the grinder is running.
Can I use pre-ground coffee?
Yes, the machine has a separate compartment for pre-ground coffee. Use only one measure of pre-ground coffee at a time, and do not use it if you have selected whole beans.
How often should I descale the machine?
The machine will prompt you when descaling is required, typically after approximately 200 brewing cycles or based on water hardness settings. Regular descaling is crucial for maintaining performance and longevity.
How do I clean the milk frother wand?
After each use, wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth. You can also run steam through it briefly to clear any milk residue. Periodically, remove the outer casing for a more thorough cleaning.
What is the 'Doppio+' function?
Doppio+ is a De'Longhi function that delivers an extra aromatic, strong espresso with a longer extraction time, providing a more intense coffee experience than a standard espresso.
What is the capacity of the coffee bean container?
The coffee bean container has a capacity of 250 grams.
Is the brewing unit removable for cleaning?
Yes, the brewing unit is designed to be removed from the front of the machine for easy rinsing and cleaning under tap water. Ensure it is properly dried before reinserting.
Troubleshooting
Machine not turning on
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the main power switch on the back of the machine is in the 'on' position.
Coffee is weak or watery
Adjust the grinder to a finer setting. Ensure the coffee bean container is sufficiently filled or that pre-ground coffee is used correctly. Check if the coffee strength setting is too low.
No hot water or steam from the frother
Make sure the steam knob is open and the machine has reached the correct temperature. Check if the water tank is full and if the steam pipe is blocked; clean it if necessary.
Machine is making unusual noises
This can indicate the grinder is blocked or the brewing unit needs cleaning. Check for obstructions in the grinder chute and run a cleaning cycle for the brewing unit.
Error message or flashing lights
Refer to the De'Longhi manual for specific error code meanings. Common solutions include emptying the grounds container, refilling the water tank, or performing a descaling cycle.
