DeLonghi ECAM23.450 manual Customising the my coffee quantity, Adjusting the coffee mill

Customising the “my coffee” quantity

The appliance is set by default to automatically deliver 30 ml of “my coffee”.

To modify this quantity, proceed as follows:

1.Place a cup under the coffee spouts (fig. 9).

2.Turn the selection knob until “MY COFFEE” is displayed.

3.Keep the button (fig. 12) pressed until the message “1 MY COFFEE Program quan- tity” is displayed and coffee delivery begins. Release the button.

4.As soon as the coffee in the cup reaches the

required level, press the button (fig. 12) again.

The quantity of coffee in the cup has now been programmed.

Adjusting the coffee mill

The coffee mill is preset in the factory to make coffee correctly and should not require adjusting initially.

However, if after making the first few coffees you find that the coffee is too thin and not creamy enough or that delivery is too slow (a drop at a time), this can be corrected by adjusting the grinding adjustment knob (fig. 10).

Please note!

The grinding adjustment knob must only be tur- ned when the coffee mill is in operation.

	If the coffee is delivered too
	slowly or not at all, turn one
4	click clockwise towards “7”.
	For fuller bodied creamier
	coffee on the other hand,
	turn one click anticlockwi-
	se towards “1” (do not turn
	more than one click at a time

otherwise the coffee could be delivered a drop at a time).

These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of coffee have been delivered.

If this adjustment does not obtain the desired result, turn the knob another click.

Tips for a hotter coffee

For a hotter coffee, before delivery you are re- commended to:

•rinse the appliance through by pressing the

button. Hot water flows out of the coffee

spouts and heats the internal circuit of the machine so that the coffee delivered will be hotter.

•warm the cups with hot water (using the hot water function);

•select the “high” coffee temperature in the menu.

Making coffee using coffee beans

Important!

Do not use caramelised or candied coffee beans as they could stick to the coffee mill and make it unusable.

1.Fill the container with coffee beans (fig. 11).

2.Place under the coffee spouts:

-1 cup if you want one coffee (fig. 9);

-2 cups if you want 2 coffees.

3.Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup. This makes a creamier coffee (fig. 12).

4.Press the button corresponding to the num-

ber of coffees required (1 cup or 2 cups

, figs. 9 and 13).

5.Preparation begins. The amount of coffee se- lected is displayed together with a progress bar which gradually fills as preparation pro- gresses.

Please note:

•While the coffee maker is making coffee, de- livery can be interrupted at any moment by pressing one of the two coffee buttons (

or ).

•At the end of delivery, to increase the quan- tity of coffee in the cup, just press (within 3 seconds) one of the coffee buttons (or

).

Once the coffee has been made, the appliance is ready to use again.

Please note!

For hotter coffee, see the section “Tips for a hot- ter coffee” (page 13).

Important!

•If the coffee is delivered a drop at a time, too thin and not creamy enough or too cold, read the tips in the “Troubleshooting” section on page 23.
