Question 1

How to clean the coffee grinder of the DELONGHI La Specialista Arte EC9155.MB?

Accepted Answer

Here’s how to maintain the coffee grinder of your DELONGHI La Specialista Arte EC9155.MB:

Regular cleaning

Use the C9 brush provided with your machine to clean the grinder's catch area
Clean the coffee chute with the same brush to remove residues and prevent blockages

Regular cleaning of the grinder and its surroundings ensures a consistent grind and prevents the buildup of coffee powder that can affect performance.

In case of blockage

If the grinder stops working, turn the grind selector (A2) to position 8 and vacuum all the beans to clear the mechanism.

Replacing the burrs

The burrs of the grinder wear out naturally over time. When they are too worn, contact a De'Longhi service center for professional replacement and recalibration.

Question 2

How to remove the doser funnel from the DELONGHI La Specialista Arte EC9155.MB?

Accepted Answer

To remove the doser funnel (C2) from your DELONGHI La Specialista Arte EC9155.MB, follow these simple steps:

Turn the doser funnel counterclockwise until it unlocks from the portafilter
Pull upwards to detach it completely

This operation is easily done after tamping the ground coffee. The doser funnel locks in place by rotating clockwise during installation (after inserting the filter into the portafilter), and is removed by the same reverse action.

Question 3

Why is water leaking from the base of the Delonghi EV250.BK?

Accepted Answer

Causes and Solutions

If water is leaking from the base of your Delonghi EV250.BK air conditioner, here are the most common causes:

The tank is not properly inserted - Check that the 4.5-liter tank is fully clipped and securely fitted into the holder. Improper positioning causes leaks.
The tank is overfilled - Never exceed the MAX line on the tank. Excess water leaks from the base during operation. Fill only up to the marking.
You removed the tank too quickly - Before removing the tank, turn off the device and wait 2 minutes to allow excess water to return to the tank. This wait is essential to avoid leaks.
A seal on the tank is damaged - Inspect the tank for cracks or worn seals. If so, the tank must be replaced.
The device is not level - Ensure that the air conditioner is placed on a perfectly flat and stable surface.
Condensation from the evaporative panel - The evaporative panel (A11) generates condensation during cooling. Check that the panel holder (A10) directs water correctly to the tank.

Practical Tip: For transport or storage, always completely empty the tank to avoid accidental leaks. Also, regularly clean the dust filter (A9) every 7 days to maintain good drainage.

Question 5

The touch buttons turn on and off randomly

Accepted Answer

If the touch buttons on the control panel (B1, B2, B3, B4) are activating and deactivating randomly, here are the solutions to try in this order:

1. Clean the touch panel

This is the most common cause. Your machine has a touch panel that can become sensitive to dust, moisture, or limescale deposits:

Turn off the machine by pressing the ON/STANDBY button (B1)
Wait a few minutes for the machine to cool down
Gently wipe the control panel and the TFT screen with a soft, non-abrasive cloth (microfiber ideally)
Pay extra attention to the areas between the buttons where dirt accumulates
Do not use water, chemicals, or abrasive sponges

2. Check the power supply

A weak electrical contact can cause this chaotic behavior:

Completely unplug the machine
Wait 30 seconds
Plug it back in and turn it on
Check that the power cable is not damaged

3. If the problem persists

If after cleaning and restarting the buttons continue to activate randomly, it is likely an electronic fault in the touch panel or the control circuit. The manual does not indicate a specific reset function for this type of problem. Contact De'Longhi customer service or an authorized technician for an accurate diagnosis - do not attempt to repair the electronic components yourself.

Question 7

Which button should I use to confirm and finalize an action on the Magnifica Evo ECAM290.61.SB?

Accepted Answer

The confirmation and finalization button depends on the action you are performing:

For general settings (beans, grind, ground coffee): use the B3 button (ground coffee symbol). This button allows you to select your option, then press again to confirm and finalize your choice.
For water filter settings: the B6 button (milk jug cleaning) manages the confirmation of the installation of the built-in water softener filter. Once activated, this button blinks quickly to indicate that the action requires confirmation.
Confirmation status: after pressing the confirmation button, a LED light turns on to indicate that the function is available, that an action is required (fast blinking), or that the function is in progress (slow blinking).

In summary, the B3 button is generally your main confirmation button for the machine's current settings.

Question 8

Can the drainage hose of the PAC 10 air conditioner be replaced or extended?

Accepted Answer
