DeLonghi EC155 manual HOW to Make Cappuccino Coffee, HOT Water Production

9.To turn the appliance off, rotate the selector knob to the "O" position (fig. 14).

IMPORTANT: the first time the appliance is used, all accessories and the internal circuits must be washed through by making at least five coffees without using ground coffee.

HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PODS (FOR APPLIANCES WITH TWO FILTERS ONLY)

1.Preheat the appliance as described in the section "PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT", making sure the filter holder is attached; this obtains a hotter coffee.

NOTE: use pods conforming to the ESE standard, indicated on the pack by the following symbol:

The ESE standard is a system accepted by leading pod producers and enables espresso coffee to be prepared simply and cleanly.

2.Place the small 1 coffee or pod filter in the filter holder, making sure the projection is correctly inserted in the slot as shown in fig. 8.

3.Insert a pod, centering it as far as possible on the filter (fig. 15).Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to position the pod on the filter correctly.

4.Attach the filter holder to the appliance. Always rotate as far as it will go (fig. 5).

5.Proceed as in points 5, 6 and 7 in the previous section.

HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO COFFEE

1.Prepare the espresso coffees as described in the previous paragraphs, using sufficiently large cups.

2.Rotate the selector knob to the position (fig. 16) and wait until the OK light comes on (fig. 6). This indicates that the boiler has reached the ideal temperature for steam production.

3.In the meantime, fill a frothing pitcher with about 3.5 ounces of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared. The milk must be at refrigerator temperature (not hot!). In choosing the size of the frothing pitcher, bear in mind that the milk doubles or triples in

volume.

NOTE: YOU ARE RECOMMENDED TO USE SKIM AT REFRIGERATOR TEMPERATURE.

4.Place the frothing pitcher containing milk under the cappuccino maker (fig 17).

5.Immerse the cappuccino frother in the milk for about 5 mm and rotate the steam knob counter clockwise (fig. 18) (rotating the knob more or less varies the

quantity of steam discharged by the cappuccino maker). The milk now starts to increase in volume and take on a creamy appearance.

6.When the milk has doubled in volume, immerse the cappuccino frother deeply and continue heating the milk (fig. 19). When the required temperature is reached (the ideal is 140°F), interrupt steam delivery by rotating the steam knob clockwise and placing the selector in the "O" position (fig. 14).

7.Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the espresso coffee prepared previously. The cappuccino

is ready. Sweeten to taste and if desired, sprinkle the froth with a little cocoa powder.

Note: to make coffee again after the milk has been frothed, cool down the boiler first or the coffee will be burnt. To cool, place a container under the boiler

outlet, turn the selector to the " " position and deliver water until the OK light goes out. Turn the selector back to the position and make the coffee as described previously.

IMPORTANT: always clean the cappuccino maker after use. Proceed as follows:

1.Discharge a little steam for a few seconds by rotating the steam knob (fig. 18).

2.Wait several minutes for the steam tube to cool down. Unscrew the cappuccino frother by rotating clockwise (fig. 20) and wash thoroughly with warm water.

3.Make sure the three holes in the cappuccino frother shown in fig. 21, are not blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin.

4.Clean the steam tube, taking care to avoid burns.

5.Screw the cappuccino frother back in place.

HOT WATER PRODUCTION

1.Turn the appliance on by rotating the selector knob to

the position (fig. 4).

2.Place a cup under the cappuccino frother.

3.When the OK indicator light comes on, turn the

selector knob to the position (fig. 7) and at the same time, rotate the steam knob counter clockwise (fig. 18): Hot water is delivered from the cappuccino maker.

4.To interrupt delivery of hot water, rotate the steam knob clockwise and position the selector knob to "O"
