DeLonghi EC270 manual HOW to Make Cappuccino, Preparing HOT Water

9.Press the On/Off button to turn off the coffee maker (Fig. 4).

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

HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PODS (WITH THE ONE-CUP FILTER)

1.Preheat the coffee machine as described in the section “PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT”, making sure to leave the filter-holder fastened to the machine. This will provide hotter coffee.

NOTE: Use pods that meet the ESE standard, which is indicated on the package by the following trademark:

The ESE standard is a system accepted by the major producers of pods which allows you to make espresso coffee in a clean and simple way.

2.Insert the small one-cup/pods filter in the filter- holder, making sure that the base is correctly inserted in its seat as shown in Fig. 7.

3.Insert the pod, centering it as much as possible above the filter (Fig. 13).

Always follow the instructions on the package of the pods to correctly position the pod on the filter.

4.Fasten the filter-holder to the machine, turning it all the way to the right as far as it will go (Fig. 5).

5.Proceed as in steps 5 – 9 of the previous section.

HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO

1.Make espresso coffee as described in the previous sections, using sufficiently large cups.

2.Press the steam button (Fig. 14).

3.In the meantime, fill a container with about 3.5 oz. (100 grams) of milk for each cappuccino to be made. Use milk at refrigerator temperature (not warm!). In choosing the size of container to use,

keep in mind that the milk volume will increase 2 or 3 times.

NOTE: We recommend using reduced fat milk at refrigerator temperature.

4.Place the container of milk under the frother.

5.Wait for the "steam ready" light on the button to come on. When the light comes on, it means that the boiler has reached the ideal temperature for steam production.

6.Immerse the frother in the milk about 0.2 in (5 mm) and turn the steam knob counter-clockwise, Fig. 15. At this point the milk begins to increase in volume and becomes creamy.

7.When the volume of milk has doubled, immerse the frother deeper and continue heating the milk. When the desired temperature is reached (the ideal

temperature is 140°F/60°C), stop the steam dispensing by turning the steam knob clockwise and press the steam button .

8.Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the espresso coffee prepared previously.

The cappuccino is ready. If desired, add sugar and sprinkle powdered cocoa over the froth.

Note: If you want to make the coffee after frothing the milk, you have to wait for the appliance to cool down. An excessively high temperature will burn the coffee. To cool the machine, place a container under

the spout, press the coffee button and let water

run out until the “steam ready” light goes off. Stop the water dispensing by pressing the button again.

NOTE: Do not dispense steam for more than 60 seconds, and do not froth the milk more than three consecutive times.

IMPORTANT: Always clean the frother after using.

1.Turn the steam knob to let steam out for a few seconds (Fig. 15).

2.Turn the frother counter-clockwise to release (Fig. 16) and rinse thoroughly with warm water.

3.Check to make sure that the two holes on the frother shown in Fig. 17 are not obstructed. If necessary, clean using a pin.

4.Clean the steam tube, being careful not to burn your hands.

5.Re-fasten the frother.

PREPARING HOT WATER

1.Press the On/Off button to turn on the machine (the button lights up) (Fig. 4).

2.Place a container under the frother.

3.When the “coffee ready” light comes on, press the coffee button (Fig. 6) and turn the steam knob counter-clockwise (Fig. 15). Hot water will be dispensed from the frother.

4.To stop the flow of hot water, turn the steam knob

clockwise and press the coffee button again. Press the On/Off button to turn off the machine (the light goes off) (Fig. 4).

N.B. Do not dispense hot water for more than 60 seconds.
