To descale your DeLonghi ECAM21.110/ECAM21.117, ensure the machine is turned off. Fill the water tank with a descaling solution and water. Place a container under the steam nozzle, then press and hold the descaling button until the light is steady. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the cycle.
If your coffee machine is leaking water, check if the water tank is correctly inserted and not overfilled. Inspect the drip tray and ensure it is not full. If the issue persists, examine the seals and gaskets for wear and consider contacting customer support.
To adjust the coffee strength, use the aroma control dial located on the front of the machine. Turn it to the left for a milder coffee and to the right for a stronger brew.
Ensure that the machine is preheated before brewing. Use the cup warmer feature if available, and check that the temperature setting is on high. Descale the machine if necessary, as scale build-up can affect heating.
To reset the machine to factory settings, turn off the machine. Press and hold the rinse and descale buttons simultaneously until the lights flash. Release the buttons to complete the reset process.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the coffee grounds container and drip tray, descaling the machine every 2-3 months, and cleaning the brew unit weekly. Ensure the water filter is replaced as needed.
To clean the milk frother, remove it from the machine and disassemble it. Soak the parts in warm soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Reassemble the frother and reattach it to the machine.
An unusual noise from the grinder could be due to trapped debris. Turn off the machine, unplug it, and clean the grinder with a brush. If the noise persists, contact customer service for assistance.
Yes, you can use pre-ground coffee. Open the pre-ground coffee compartment, add one scoop of coffee, and select the pre-ground function on the control panel before brewing.
If a general alarm is displayed, turn off the machine and unplug it for 30 seconds. Plug it back in and power on. If the issue continues, consult the user manual or contact customer support for further assistance.
