Never allow the appliance to be used by children.
Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before tting or taking o
parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged

result in re, electrical shock or personal injury.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electrical burner, or in a heated oven.
Plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to o, then remove plug from wall outlet.
Do not use the appliance for other than the intended use. This appliance is to be utilized for domestic use
only. Any other use is to be considered improper and therefore, dangerous.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
- A short power cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord.
- Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exer-
cised in their use.
- If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance. If the appliance is provided with 3- wire, grounding type cord, the extension should be
a GROUNDING TYPE 3 - WIRE CORD. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
counter-top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
- Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider
than the other). This plug will t into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to t,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug.

    How to fix no milk froth on DeLonghi ECP3120 Coffee Maker cappuccino?
    • E
      Erica BrandtJul 29, 2025
      If your DeLonghi Coffee Maker isn't frothing milk for cappuccino, first ensure that, if you have the ECP3X30 model, the ring on the cappuccino maker is in the CAPPUCCINO position. Always use 2% milk at refrigerator temperature for best results. Also, a dirty cappuccino maker can prevent proper frothing, so clean the holes thoroughly. Limescale in the water circuit can also affect frothing, so descale the machine as described in the “Descaling” section.

    Why is my DeLonghi ECP3120 Coffee Maker not making espresso?
    • P
      Paul CalderonAug 3, 2025
      If your DeLonghi Coffee Maker isn't delivering espresso, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if the water tank is filled. If it is, the holes in the filter holder might be blocked, requiring cleaning. Another possibility is a blockage in the espresso boiler outlet, which should be cleaned as described in the “Cleaning” section. Finally, limescale buildup in the water circuit could be the issue, needing descaling as described in the “Descaling” section.

    What to do if my DeLonghi ECP3120 Coffee Maker is dripping coffee too slowly?
    • R
      Robert KlineAug 7, 2025
      If your DeLonghi Coffee Maker is dripping coffee too slowly, the issue might be related to how the pre-ground coffee is prepared. Ensure you're not pressing the coffee down too firmly and that you're not using too much coffee. Also, check if the espresso boiler outlet or the filter is blocked and clean them as indicated in the “Cleaning” section. The type and condition of the pre-ground coffee matters too; use only pre-ground coffee specifically for espresso makers, ensuring it's not too fine or damp. If the issue persists, try a different type of pre-ground coffee.

    Why is espresso dripping from the edges of the filter holder on my DeLonghi ECP3120?
    • J
      Joseph SullivanAug 12, 2025
      If espresso is dripping from the edges of the filter holder instead of the holes on your DeLonghi Coffee Maker, make sure the filter holder is correctly attached and rotated firmly as far as it will go. The holes in the filter holder spouts may be blocked, so clean them. If the READY light is not on, wait until it illuminates before selecting coffee delivery. Also, preheating the machine and the cups is important, pre-heat as indicated in the “Tips for a hotter cof­fee” section and pre-heat the cups with hot water. If the espresso boiler gasket has lost elasticity or is dirty, have it replaced by Customer Services.

    Why is my DeLonghi Coffee Maker pump so noisy?
    • J
      Jody MartinAug 17, 2025
      An excessively noisy pump in your DeLonghi Coffee Maker can be due to a few reasons. Check if the water tank is empty and fill it if needed. Ensure the tank is correctly in place, pressing it down lightly to open the valve on the bottom. Air bubbles in the tank connector can also cause noise; follow the instructions in the “Hot water” section until water is delivered to resolve this.

    Why does my DeLonghi ECP3120 Coffee Maker coffee taste acidic?
    • P
      Patricia RichardAug 23, 2025
      If your coffee from the DeLonghi Coffee Maker has an acid taste, it may be due to inadequate rinsing after descaling. After descaling, rinse the appliance as indicated in the “Descaling and Rinse” section.
