DeLonghi ECAM26455M manual Making Drinks with Milk, Tips for a hotter coffee

coffee mill is in operation.

If the coffee is delivered too slowly

or not at all, turn one click clockwise

towards “7”.

For fuller bodied creamier coffee on the

other hand, turn one click anticlockwise 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 dial another click.

Tips for a hotter coffee

For a hotter coffee, before delivery you are recommended to:

•perform a rinse cycle by selecting the“Rinsing”function in the settings menu (page 10)

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

•increase the coffee temperature in the settings menu (page 10).

Making coffee using coffee beans

Important!

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

1.Place coffee beans in the coffee bean container (fig. 13).

2.Place under the coffee dispensing spouts, either:

-1 cup if you want one coffee (fig. 14);

-2 cups if you want 2 coffees.

3.Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup. This makes a creamier coffee (fig. 15).

4.Press the button corresponding to the number of coffees

required (1 cup	or 2 cups	, figs. 11 and
16).

5.Preparation begins. The amount of coffee selected is displayed together with a progress bar which gradually fills as preparation progresses.

Please note:

•While the coffee maker is making coffee, delivery can be interrupted at any moment by pressing one of the two

coffee buttons ( or ).

•At the end of delivery, to increase the quantity 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!

•Various alarm messages could be displayed while using the machine (fill tank, empty grounds container, etc.). Their meaning is explained in the section “Displayed messages” (page 20).

•For hotter coffee, see the section “Tips for a hotter coffee” (page 12).

•If the coffee is delivered a drop at a time, too weak and not creamy enough or too cold, read the tips in the “Troubleshooting” section on page 21.

Making coffee using pre-ground coffee

Important!

•Never add pre-ground coffee when the machine is off or it could spread through the inside of the machine and dirty it.

This could damage the appliance.

•Never use more than 1 level measure or it could dirty the inside of the coffee maker or block the funnel.

Please note!

If you use pre-ground coffee, you can only make one cup of coffee at a time.

1. Press the	button (fig. 9) until “Pre-ground” is
displayed.

2.Open the beans container lid; then open the pre-ground coffee funnel lid by pushing on PUSH and, once released, open the lid.

3.Make sure the funnel is not blocked, then add one level measure of pre-ground coffee (fig. 17).

4.Place a cup under the coffee spouts.

5.Press the 1 cup coffee button (fig. 11).

6.Preparation begins. The amount of coffee selected is displayed together with a progress bar which gradually fills as preparation progresses.

Please note!

If “Energy saving” mode is enabled, you may have to wait a few seconds before the first coffee is delivered.
