This document outlines the operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting for the De'Longhi ECAM35X.35 Bean to Cup Espresso and Cappuccino Machine.

Function Description

The ECAM35X.35 is a bean-to-cup espresso and cappuccino machine designed to prepare coffee and heat beverages automatically. It features a grinding adjustment dial (A5) to customize coffee fineness, a cappuccino maker (A20) for frothing milk, and a hot water and steam connection nozzle (A22) for various beverage preparations. The machine is equipped with a touch screen display (B1) that guides the user through various operations and settings. It can prepare a range of coffee beverages, including Espresso, Coffee, Long, Doppio+, Espresso Lungo, Ristretto, and two-cup versions of these. The "My Menu" function (B13) allows users to program and save customized beverage settings.

Usage Features

Turning On/Off: The appliance is turned on by pressing the power button (A23) (fig. 5) and off by pressing the same button. An automatic preheat and rinse cycle is performed each time the machine is turned on, and an automatic rinse cycle is performed when turned off after use.
Language Selection: Users can select their preferred language from the "Settings" menu (B5).
Water Tank: The water tank (A17) needs to be filled to the MAX line with fresh water (fig. 3A) for operation.
Coffee Preparation:
- Coffee Beans: Fill the beans container (A3) with coffee beans (fig. 7).
- Pre-ground Coffee: The machine can also use pre-ground coffee (fig. 10), but only one cup at a time. It's important not to add pre-ground coffee when the machine is off or to use more than one level measure (C2) to avoid damage or blockages.
- Aroma Selection: The coffee aroma can be temporarily varied using the aroma selection button (B7).
- Grinding Adjustment: The grinding adjustment dial (A5) (fig. 6) should only be turned when the coffee mill is in operation to adjust coffee fineness.
- Cup Placement: Place cups under the coffee spouts (A19) (fig. 8) and lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup for a creamier coffee (fig. 9).
Cappuccino and Hot Milk:
- Preparation: The cappuccino maker selection ring (A21) should be positioned downwards for "CAPPUCCINO" (fig. 11) or upwards for "HOT MILK".
- Milk Frothing: For best results, use skimmed or partially skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature (about 5°C). The milk volume will double or triple during frothing.
Hot Water Delivery: Hot water can be delivered through the cappuccino maker (A20) by pressing the hot water icon (B6) (fig. 13).
Programming Beverages: The machine allows users to program and customize standard beverage quantities and settings through the "Program beverages" and "Program My beverages" menus.
Water Hardness: Water hardness can be measured using the indicator paper (C1) and set in the machine's "Settings" menu to optimize descaling frequency.
Water Softener Filter: Certain models include a water softener filter (C4) which can be installed, replaced, or removed as needed. The filter's date indicator disk (fig. 28) helps track its lifespan.
Energy Saving: An energy-saving function can be enabled or disabled to reduce energy consumption.
Auto-off: The auto-off (standby) time can be set to 15 or 30 minutes, or 1, 2, or 3 hours.

Maintenance Features

Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the appliance's longevity and performance.

Internal Circuit: The machine's internal circuit should be cleaned regularly, especially if unused for 3-4 days, by performing rinse cycles and delivering hot water.
Coffee Grounds Container: The coffee grounds container (A11) must be emptied and cleaned when the "Empty grounds container" message appears on the display (B1), or every 72 hours after the first coffee preparation.
Drip Tray and Condensate Tray: The drip tray (A15) and condensate tray (A10) should be emptied and cleaned when the level indicator (A13) protrudes from the cup tray (A12) (fig. 20).
Water Tank: The water tank (A17) should be cleaned regularly with a damp cloth and mild washing-up liquid.
Coffee Spouts: The coffee spouts (A19) should be cleaned regularly with a sponge or cloth (fig. 22A), and any blockages removed with a toothpick (fig. 22B).
Pre-ground Coffee Funnel: The pre-ground coffee funnel (A4) should be checked regularly for blockages and cleaned with a brush if necessary.
Infuser: The infuser (A8) must be cleaned at least once a month. This involves removing the water tank, opening the infuser door (A7) (fig. 23), pressing the release buttons and pulling the infuser outwards (fig. 24), soaking it in water, rinsing under the tap, and using the supplied brush to remove coffee residues. It's important to only rinse with water and not use washing-up liquid. The infuser can be adjusted to the correct size if difficult to insert (fig. 25).
Cappuccino Maker: The cappuccino maker (A20) must be cleaned after each use to prevent milk residue build-up. This involves delivering a little hot water (fig. 13), allowing it to cool, removing it (fig. 14), moving the selection ring (A21) upwards (fig. 15), removing the connection nozzle (A22) (fig. 16), cleaning any blocked holes (fig. 17), and reassembling.
Inside of the Machine: The inside of the appliance should be checked monthly for dirt and cleaned with the supplied brush and a sponge, removing residues with a vacuum cleaner (fig. 21).
Descaling: The machine will display a "Descale" message (B1) when descaling is required. Only De'Longhi descaler should be used. The descaling process involves removing the water softener filter (if present), emptying the water tank, adding descaler and water (fig. 26), placing a container under the spouts (fig. 27), and following the on-screen instructions. The process includes multiple rinse cycles.
