The delonghi espresso machine is fantastic. I love how simple it is to make a double shot espresso or single shot. It is very simple to use and the milk frother works like a charm. I made latte, cappuccino, and espresso all in one machine. I like that it is not bulky and heavy and easy to transfer if needed. This became my new day to day coffee.

HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE
FILLING THE WATER TANK
1.Open the water tank lid (fig. 1) and then take out the tank by pulling upwards (fig. 2).
2.Fill the tank with fresh clean water taking care not to exceed the MAX level (fig. 3).
Replace the tank, pressing lightly to open the valve located on the bottom of the tank.
3.More simply, the tank can also be filled without removing it, pouring the water directly from a jug
(fig. 1).
IMPORTANT: It is normal for there to be water in the space under the tank. This should therefore be dried regularly with a clean sponge.
Note: Never use the appliance without water in the tank and always remember to top up when the level drops about an inch from the bottom.
PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT
To obtain espresso coffee at the right temperature, the coffee machine must be preheated. Turn the selector knob to the position (fig. 4) at least 15 minutes before making the coffee, making sure the filter holder is attached to the appliance (check that the steam knob is closed).
To attach the filter holder, position it under the boiler outlet with the handle towards the left (see fig. 5), push it upwards and at the same time firmly rotate the handle towards the right.
Wait for half an hour, then make the coffee as described in the following chapter.
Alternatively, preheating can be achieved more rapidly proceeding as follows:
1.Turn the appliance on by rotating the selector knob to
the position (fig. 4) and attach the filter holder to the appliance without adding ground coffee.
2.Place a cup under the filter holder. Use the same cup as will be used to prepare the coffee in order to preheat it.
3.Wait for the OK indicator light to come on (fig. 6), then immediately rotate the selector knob to the position (fig. 7), deliver water until the OK indicator light goes out, then interrupt delivery by rotating the selector knob to the position (fig. 6).
4.Empty the cup. Wait until the OK indicator light comes on again then repeat the same operation.
HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING THE FILTER HOLDER FOR GROUND COFFEE
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.
1.After preheating the appliance as described above, place the ground coffee filter in the filter holder, making sure the projection is correctly inserted in the slot as shown in fig. 8.
Use the smaller filter to make one coffee or the larger filter to make two coffees.
2.To make a single coffee only, place one level measure of ground coffee, about 7 grams, in the filter (fig. 9). To prepare two coffees, place two loosely filled measures of ground coffee (about 12 grams) in the
filter. Fill the filter a little at a time to prevent the ground coffee from overflowing.
IMPORTANT: for correct operation, before adding the ground coffee to the filter holder, clean the filter from residues of ground coffee from the previous infusion.
3.Distribute the ground coffee evenly and press lightly with the tamper (fig. 10). Note: Correct tamping of the ground coffee is essential to obtain a good espresso. If tamping is excessive, coffee delivery will be slow and the crema will be dark. If pressing is too light, coffee delivery will be too rapid and the froth will be sparse and light colored.
4.Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder and attach the filter holder to the appliance.
Rotate firmly (fig. 5) to avoid leaks of water.
5.Place the cup or cups (ideally preheated by rinsing with a little hot water) under the filter holder spouts (fig. 11). You are recommended to heat the cups before making the coffee by rinsing them with a little hot water or placing them to warm on the top plate for at least 15-20 minutes (fig. 12).
6.Make sure the OK light (fig. 6) is on (if off, wait until it comes on), then turn the knob to the position (fig. 7) until the required quantity is obtained. To interrupt, place the selector knob back in the position (fig. 4).
7.To remove the filter holder, rotate the handle from right to left.
IMPORTANT: to avoid splashes, never remove the filter holder while the appliance is delivering coffee.
8.To eliminate the used coffee grounds, block the filter in place using the lever incorporated in the handle and empty the coffee by turning the filter holder upside down and tapping (fig. 13).
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. 2008 volvo xc90 owners manual download. 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:
Delonghi Espresso Machine Instructions
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'
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF THE FILTER
About every 200 espressos or when the espresso drips out of the filter holder or not at all, clean the ground coffee filter holder as follows:
•Remove the filter from the filter holder.
•Clean the inside of the filter holder. Never wash in a dishwasher.
•Remove the filter cap (fig. 22) by unscrewing in the direction indicated by the arrow on the cap.
•Remove the filter from the container by pushing it from the cap end.
•Remove the gasket.
•Rinse all components and clean the metal filter thoroughly in hot water using a brush (fig. 23). Make sure the holes in the metal filter are not blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin (see fig. 24)
