To clean your De'Longhi espresso machine, follow these steps regularly: Drip Tray and Cup Tray. Remove the drip tray from the machine. Take out the cup tray and empty any water from it. Clean the drip tray with a cloth. Coffee Filters. Extract the perforated filter by pulling the tab. Rinse the filters under running water. Ensure that the holes are not blocked. If necessary, use a pin to clean them. Boiler Outlet (Every 200 Coffees). Rinse the boiler outlet by delivering about 0.5 liters of water from the boiler outlet. You can do this by pressing the coffee button without using ground coffee. Additionally, remember to descale the appliance when the orange light on the button comes on. Here's how to descale your De'Longhi espresso machine:

1. (If present, remove the water softener filter). Fill the tank with the descaler solution, which you can prepare by diluting the provided descaler with water (fill the water tank up to the MAX level).
2. Press the ON/OFF button.
3. Make sure the filter holder is not attached and place a container under the hot water spout and boiler outlet.
4. Wait for the one and two cups button lights to come on steadily, indicating that the appliance is ready for use.
5. Press and hold the steam button for 10 seconds until the all buttons flash in sequence.
6. Turn the steam dial to the steam/water position.
7. Press the button marked with a steam icon to start the descaling process.
8. The descale program will begin, and the descaler liquid will come out of the water spout. It will perform a series of rinses and pauses until the tank is empty.  During descaling, remember to close the steam dial from time to time to deliver small quantities of descaler from the boiler outlet.
9. The appliance stops operation, and the orange steam button light continues to flash, indicating that the appliance is now ready for rinsing with clean water.
10. Extract the water tank, empty it, fill it with fresh water up to the MAX level, and put it back in the appliance (If used, insert the water softener filter). Empty the container used for collecting the descaler solution and then position it empty under the hot water spout.
11. Make sure the steam dial is in the steam/water position, then press the steam button to start rinsing.
12. When the water tank is empty, the orange light goes out, indicating that the descaling process is complete.
13. Make sure the steam dial is in the closed position (O symbol).

To use the De’Longhi Dedica espresso machine, follow these steps:

1. Begin by turning on the appliance using the ON/OFF switch. The machine will go through a self-diagnosis cycle, indicated by the sequential flashing of the three buttons. When the lights stop flashing and remain steady, the appliance is ready for use.
2. Place the ground coffee filter in the filter holder. For a single coffee, add one level measure of pre-ground coffee (approximately 7 grams) to the filter. For two coffees, use two loosely filled measures (about 7+7 grams) of pre-ground coffee. Ensure the coffee is evenly distributed in the filter and press it lightly with the provided presser.
3. Attach the filter holder to the appliance. Align the handle of the filter holder with the INSERT symbol, attach it, and rotate the handle to the right until it aligns with the CLOSE symbol.
4. Position a coffee cup under the boiler outlet and press the one or two cups button, depending on your desired quantity. The machine will start brewing the coffee, and it will automatically stop the delivery when done.
5. To remove the filter holder, turn the handle from right to left.

1. Ensure the cappuccino maker selection ring is set to the "CAPPUCCINO" position.
2. Press the steam button. While the light is flashing, fill a milk jug with approximately 100 grams of milk for each cappuccino you wish to prepare. Wait for the corresponding button's light to remain steady, indicating that the boiler has reached the ideal temperature for steaming.
3. Position an empty container under the cappuccino maker and briefly open the dial to release any remaining air in the system. Then, close the dial.
4. Place the milk-jug under the cappuccino maker.
5. Immerse the cappuccino maker into the milk jug and turn the dial to the "STEAM" position. To achieve a creamier froth, immerse the cappuccino maker in the milk and gently move the jug upward.
6. Once you achieve the desired temperature (ideal is 60°C) and froth density, turn the steam dial clockwise to stop the steam delivery.
7. Pour the frothed milk into the cups with the espresso coffee prepared earlier. Your cappuccino is now ready to enjoy.

The LatteCrema milk system found in some De'Longhi coffee machines can produce both hot and cold milk foam of your chosen consistency, hence enabling you to make a variety of milk-based coffee drinks. In addition, the LatteCrema milk container can be stored in the fridge when it’s not in use to keep milk perfectly cool and ideal for frothing. Some De'Longhi models also boast milk containers that are thermally insulated. By choosing this type of machine, you can be sure that your milk will be kept cool for as many as 5 to 6 hours.
