USING STEAM TO HEAT LIQUIDS

(to prepare tea, hot chocolate, etc.)

1.Unscrew the water tank cap, after having unplugged the machine.

2.Fill the carafe up to the level marked "2" and pour the water into the water tank.

3.Replace the cap.

4. Set the flow regulator to cappuccino.

5.Plug the machine in and switch on.

6.Place the receptacle containing the liquid underneath the steam tube (see fig. 15).

7.Turn the steam knob to the open position.

8.After about two minutes, the steam will start to flow from the steam tube.

9.When the liquid has reached the desired temperature, turn the steam knob back to the closed position and switch the appliance off.

Before removing the water tank cap, turn the steam knob to the open position in order to check that there is no residual pressure in the water tank.

DESCALING

If you live in a hard-water area, minerals and calcium found in the water will accumulate and affect the operation of the machine.

Approximately every six months (depending on the hardness of the water), your DE'LONGHI espresso maker should be cleaned with vinegar as follows:

1.Before cleaning your Espresso maker, turn the switch to OFF and unplug machine.

2.Fill the carafe with vinegar and pour into the water tank.

3.Replace the cap.

4.Set the flow regulator to LIGHT.

5.Fit the filter and filter-holder (without any coffee).

6.Place the carafe on the drip tray.

7.Insert the plug into the wall socket.

8.Turn the switch to ON. After a few minutes, the hot vinegar will begin to flow through the filter-holder into the carafe.

9.Place the steam tube in a glass or mug. Open the steam knob for a few seconds while the vinegar flows through the filter-holder. This will clear any milk residue from the inside of the tube.

10.Close the steam knob (the vinegar will continue to flow into the carafe).

11.When no more vinegar flows into the carafe, turn the switch to OFF and allow the machine to cool. Remove the filter-holder, the filter and the carafe and rinse with hot water.

12.Repeat starting from step two using cold water in order to remove any residual vinegar. Repeat twice.
