Frequently Asked Questions - Magnifica ESAM 3200.S EX1 DELONGHI

How to prepare a cappuccino with the Magnifica ESAM 3200.S EX1?

First, prepare an espresso in a large cup. Then, fill a container with about 100 ml of cold milk (preferably skimmed). Press the steam button and wait for the red light to become steady. Immerse the frother in the milk and turn the steam knob counterclockwise to release steam. Froth until desired foam is obtained, then close the steam. Pour the frothed milk over the espresso.

What to do if the coffee comes out too slowly?

This may be due to too fine a grind. Turn the grinder dial (located in the bean hopper) one click clockwise for a coarser grind. Then brew two cups to see the change. If the problem persists, check that the brewing unit is not clogged.

How to clean the milk frother?

After each use, run a little steam for a few seconds to remove residual milk. Then, turn off the machine, unscrew the frother and the steam nozzle. Wash them in warm water. Make sure the holes are not clogged using a needle if necessary. Reassemble everything.

When and how to descale the machine?

The red descaling light flashes when necessary. Use only De'Longhi solution. Fill the water tank with the mixture (0.5 L solution + 0.5 L water). Place a container under the frother, press the rinse/descaling button for 5 seconds, then turn the steam. The cycle lasts about 30 minutes. Then rinse the tank and repeat with clean water.

Why doesn't the espresso have crema?

Several possible causes: the coffee is ground too coarsely, the coffee strength is too low, or the beans are not suitable. Turn the strength dial to extra strong, or set the grinder to a finer grind. Use fresh, good quality beans. Preheat the cups.

How to use ground coffee instead of beans?

Open the lid of the ground coffee hopper (located in the center). Add a level measure of ground espresso coffee. Press the ground coffee button (the green light turns on). Place a cup under the spout and press the 1 cup button. You can only brew one cup at a time with ground coffee.

What to do if the machine makes an abnormal noise?

An unusual noise may come from the grinder if a small stone is in the beans. Check and remove any foreign objects. If the noise persists, contact customer service. A pump noise without coffee production may indicate a lack of water or a misaligned brewing unit.

How to adjust water hardness?

Use the included Water Hardness test strip. Dip it in water, wait 30 seconds, then count the red squares. Turn off the machine, press the 1 cup button for 5 seconds until the lights turn on. Then press the 1 cup button to select the number of squares, then press 2 cups to confirm.

How to clean the brewing unit?

Make sure the machine is off and cold. Open the service door, remove the drip tray and the grounds container. Press both red buttons to release the brewing unit. Wash it in warm water without detergent (do not put in dishwasher). Clean the inside with a plastic brush. Put the unit back in place by pushing until it clicks.

What to do if the red water tank light is on even though the tank is full?

The water tank may be improperly positioned or scaled. Remove it, clean it, fill it with cold water and replace it by pressing firmly. If the light stays on, descale the machine as the sensors may be dirty.

5: Introduction To Magnifica

Magnifica...The Name Says it All

The Magnifica, a super automatic machine, is capable of preparing a variety of beverages: espresso, coffee, cappuccino, latte and even hot water for tea. It delivers custom beans-to-espresso results with the simple touch of a button. This state-of-the-art machines allows you to savor the pleasures of an at-home coffee bar, with consistent results every time. Authentic espresso is the

4

heritage of Italian culture and tradition. So now that you know who the experts are, who else but De'Longhi could create the ultimate super automatic machine?

5.1 Features and Benefits

What You Grind is What You Brew The compact and patented Direct-to-Brew System with Thermo Block technology provides excellent heat distribution and it's removable for easy cleaning. The beans are ground instantly to ensure the freshest espresso or coffee.

Professional-Quality Conical Burr Grinder Integrated burr grinder produces consistent, fresh and aromatic espresso or coffee. Grind settings allow you to adjust the fineness for all types of beans.

Instant Reheat Function The instant reheat function heats the core of the machine, ensuring that Magnifica maintains an ideal temperature for brewing.

Patented Cappuccino System Frother This special frothing system includes a chamber that mixes steam and milk to create a rich creamy froth. It's perfect for making the ideal cappuccino, latte or any other frothy milk espresso / coffee beverage.

Espresso / Coffee Flavor and Quantity Controls Two separate easy-to-use control dials allow you to easily make adjustments to espresso / coffee strength and brewed espresso / coffee amounts.

Automatic Controls and Indicators The water level and used coffee containers are monitored automatically for worry-free use. There are also indicators for rinsing, cleaning and decalcifying. This will facilitate care and maintenance of the machine.

6: Introduction To Crema

What is an Authentic Espresso?

To appreciate the quality and consistency of the Magnifica, you need to understand what makes a good espresso. The identifying mark of an authentic Italian espresso can be found in the brown layer of foam that lies on top of a properly brewed espresso. The brown foam, referred to as the “crema”, is the essence of a perfect espresso. The crema holds all of the compounds that constitute the aroma and flavor of an espresso. A good crema will last about thirty to ninety seconds before it dissipates completely, once this has happened, the aromatics are infused into the drink to deliver an authentic-tasting espresso.

11.1 Filling the Water Tank

Caution: Never switch the machine on when the water tank is completely empty. Without water, the machine cannot make espresso / coffee and the machine will become noisy.

1. Move the frother to the center of the machine to remove the water tank.
2. Rinse the water tank and fill it with clean, cold water without exceeding the MAX line. Replace the water tank by pushing it all the way in. (Figure 1)

Tip: Renew water daily.

11.2 Filling the Coffee Bean Container (If you are using whole coffee beans)

- Never fill coffee bean container with pre-ground coffee.

Tip: Before filling the coffee bean container, make sure to remove any foreign objects

1. Open the coffee bean container lid and fill container with coffee beans and close the lid. (Figure 2)
2. Note: If you are using frozen coffee beans, let them thaw for 3 to 4 hours before filling them into the bean container. This will prevent moisture from seeping into the grinder. Never use sugar-coated beans.

Note: It is recommended not to use oily, sugar coated or flavored beans. These types of beans could damage the machine.

11.2A Setting the Coffee Grinder (If you are using whole coffee beans)

1. The coffee grinder does not need to be adjusted for the first use. The coffee grinder has already been pre-set in the factory for the

Correct delivery of the espresso/coffee.

1. If after making the first espresso/coffee the delivery is too fast or too slow (in drops), the grinding coarseness must be adjusted using the coffee grinder dial (Figure 3) located inside the bean container.
2. Turning one click (one number) clockwise achieves faster delivery of the espresso/coffee and a coarser ground coffee.
3. Turning one click (one number) counter-clockwise achieves slower delivery of the espresso/coffee and a finer ground coffee (and makes the coffee creamier in appearance).
4. These adjustments will only be evident after the delivery of at least 2 cups of espresso/coffee.
5. The coffee grinder dial must only be turned when the coffee grinder is on.

11.3 Filling the Ground Coffee Container (If you are using pre-ground coffee)

• Never add the pre-ground coffee when the machine is off.
• Never add more than 1 full measure of pre-ground coffee. The ground coffee funnel will get blocked.
• When dosing the quantity of pre-ground coffee to be added, only use the measuring scoop provided.
• Use only pre-ground coffee specifically for use in espresso machines. Do not use whole coffee beans, freeze-dried coffee or other materials that may damage the machine.
• Never use instant coffee. It could severely damage the brewing system.

Tip: Before filling the ground coffee container, make sure to remove any foreign objects.

1. Open the ground coffee container lid (located in the center of the machine). To prepare one espresso/coffee, add just one level measure of pre-ground coffee with the measuring scoop (provided). (Figure 4)
2. Note: You can only make one espresso/coffee at a time when using pre-ground coffee.
3. Close the lid.

Figure 9

11.4 Setting the Espresso / Coffee Flavor Dial

1. Turn the espresso / coffee flavor dial (Figure 9) to set the desired taste of your espresso/coffee from regular, strong to extra strong.
2. Turning the dial clockwise increases the quantity of coffee beans the machine will grind, and

therefore makes the taste stronger. Note: When using the machine for the first time, the correct position for the dial can be found by trial and error.

1. Note: Make sure not to turn it too far clockwise, otherwise the espresso / coffee will be delivered too slowly (in drops) when preparing two cups of espresso / coffee.

11.5 Espresso / Coffee Quantity

11.5A The Difference Between Espresso/Coffee Quantity

• "Ristretto" (small/short) espresso: 1/2 oz. to 1 oz. of coffee
• "Espresso": 1 oz. to 1.5 oz. of coffee • Large (long/double shot/American coffee): 5 oz. to 8 oz. of coffee

16

Note: It is recommended to add a bit of sugar to "ristretto" or "espresso" coffee. Drink the large (American coffee) black or add sugar and milk if you prefer.

Tip: If you add sugar and milk to your cup before you brew your espresso/coffee it will be dissolved more uniformly.

Figure 10

Tip: If you set the espresso / coffee quantity dial to maximum and push the 2-cup button, the machine will prepare a 12 oz. coffee. The average coffee drinker may find this to be too mild, so adjust the volume accordingly.

11.5B Setting the Espresso / Coffee Quantity

1. Turn the coffee quantity dial (Figure 10) to set the amount of espresso/coffee desired.
2. Turning the dial clockwise makes a longer coffee. Note: When using the machine for the first time, the correct position for the dial can be found by trial and error.

12: Preparing the Espresso / Coffee

Please follow the instructions below. You can make any quantity of espresso/coffee from 1/2 oz. to 12 oz.

Note: The process is always the same: water is forced through the coffee in a very short time period to avoid over-extraction, for perfect espresso / coffee every time.

Caution: Never switch the machine on when the water tank is completely empty. Without water, the machine cannot make espresso / coffee and the machine will become noisy.

Before preparing the espresso / coffee, make sure you have done the following:

• Followed all of the instructions listed under Section 11 of the manual ("Preparing the Machine").
• The water tank and either the bean container or ground coffee container is full.

12.3 Tips on Making Hotter Coffee

• When the machine is first turned on and a short cup of espresso/coffee is required, use the hot rinse cycle to pre-heat cups (refer to point 14 in section 11.3 of the manual).
• Unless pre-heated, do not use cups that are too thick.
• Use cups that have been previously heated by rinsing them with hot water.
• Use cups that have been previously heated using the cup warmer on top of the machine.

13: Frothing or Steaming (How to Make the Perfect Cappuccino or Latte)

What is cappuccino?

A cup of cappuccino is one shot of espresso, 1/3 cup steamed milk with a dollop of froth. It can be garnished with chocolate, cinnamon or nutmeg.

What is a latte?

A cup of latte is one shot of espresso (or two shots for a double latte), 1/2 cup steamed milk with about 1/2 to 1/3 froth.

• Use this feature to heat up liquids or to froth or steam milk for cappuccinos or lattes.
• The milk frother must be cleaned after each use. Please refer to the "Cleaning and Maintenance" section of the manual for more detailed instructions.

Before First Use:

1. The removable parts of the milk frother (milk frother body and steam nozzle) are high precision parts. Always keep these two parts clean and free of milk residue. (See "Cleaning and Maintenance" section of the manual for more detailed instructions on cleaning.)

Ready to Begin Frothing or Steaming:

1. Fill a container (metal container is recommended) with about 3.5 oz. of cold milk.
2. Note: Skim (0% fat) milk is recommended. It will produce the most froth and will let you taste more of the espresso / coffee. 1% and 2% milk will produce less froth, and regular milk (3% fat) will give you half or less than half the froth of skim milk.
3. When choosing the size of the container, remember that the volume will increase by two or three times.
4. Move the milk frother to the outside of the machine.
5. Prepare the espresso / coffee as described in

section 12 of the manual, using sufficiently large cups.

1. Press the steam function button (Figure 17). The light (Figure 18) starts flashing to indicate that the machine is heating up.
2. When the light remains on steadily (without

flashing), the temperature of the machine has reached the ideal temperature for making steam.

1. Immediately after (within a span of no more than 2 minutes, otherwise the machine automatically switches back to the espresso / coffee function), dip the milk frother into the container of milk (Figure 19).
2. Make sure not to immerse the line on the milk frother (indicated by the arrow in Figure 20). Turn the steam control dial half a turn counter-clockwise until it stops (Figure 7). Use caution, steam is hot!
3. The steam released will make the milk froth increase in volume.

Note: To make a creamier froth, dip the milk frother into the milk and rotate the container with slow movements from the bottom to the top. It is recommended to limit steam delivery to no more than 2 minutes at a time.

1. Once you have achieved the desired froth, stop the steam flow by

turning the steam control dial clockwise until it stops (Figure 8), and then press the steam function button (Figure 17) to deactivate the steam function.

1. Note (Making espresso / coffee after using steam function): Immediately after using the milk frother, press the steam function button to deactivate the steam function. If you press the espresso or the coffee button to make espresso / coffee again, the

machine is too hot to make espresso / coffee. The green espresso and coffee lights will flash indicating that the temperature is not suitable for making espresso / coffee. Simply wait 10 minutes for the machine to cool down. The lights will illuminate steadily (without flashing) indicating that the machine is now ready to make espresso / coffee again.

Figure 20

Tip: To cool the machine down more quickly after having deactivated the steam function, turn the steam control dial and release some water from the milk frother into a container, until the green espresso and coffee lights stop flashing.

22

14: Processing Hot Water Through the Frother

Please follow the instructions below.

1. Make sure that the green espresso and coffee lights are on steadily (not flashing).
2. Turn the milk frother towards the outside of the machine (Figure 3).
3. Position a container underneath the milk frother (Figure 3).
4. Turn the steam control dial half a turn counter-clockwise until it stops. (Figure 7).
5. Hot water will release from the milk frother and start to fill the container. Use caution, water is hot!
6. To stop the flow of hot water, turn the steam control dial all the way clockwise. (Figure 8) and return the milk frother to the original position towards the center of the machine.
7. Note: It is recommended to deliver hot water for no more than 2 minutes.

15: Cleaning and Maintenance

• WARNING: Before performing any cleaning operations, the machine MUST be cooled down, turned off (unless otherwise noted) and unplugged from the power outlet (unless otherwise noted).
• The machine must be cleaned in order to function properly.
• Never immerse the machine in water or other liquid. It's an electrical appliance.
• Do not use solvents or harsh abrasive detergents.
• The outside surface of the machine can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth.
• All of the components (parts and accessories) of the machine must not be washed in the dishwasher.

15.1 Cleaning the Used Coffee Container:

• Whenever the 📄 light illuminates steadily, the used coffee container needs to be cleaned.
• Remove the used coffee container and discard the coffee grounds.
• Wash the container with warm water and mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Replace the used coffee container.

15.2 Cleaning the Water Tank:

- The water tank should be cleaned regularly.

• Remove the water tank by moving the milk frother to the outside of the machine.
• Wash the tank with warm water and mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Replace the water tank.

15.3 Cleaning the Drip Tray and Used Water Tray:

• The drip tray is fitted with a red level indicator, showing the level of the water inside.
• When the indicator is visible, the drip tray and used water tray must be emptied and cleaned.
• Wash the drip tray and used water tray with warm water and mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Replace the used water tray and drip tray.

15.4 Cleaning the Coffee Spout:

• Check that the holes in the coffee spout are not blocked. To clean them, carefully scrape the dry coffee residues from the coffee spout with a needle (Figure 21).

15.5 Cleaning the Milk Frother:

Note: The milk frother must be cleaned after each use. Deactivate the steam function before cleaning. Please proceed as follows (the machine must be on during the cleaning of the milk frother):

• Release a little steam for a few seconds by turning the steam control dial counter-clockwise until it stops (Figure 7).
• With this operation, the steam nozzle discharges any milk that may have been left inside. IMPORTANT: For health reasons, this operation

should always be performed to prevent previously used milk from remaining inside the milk frother.

• With one hand, hold the milk frother handle and with the other hand unscrew the milk frother by turning it clockwise and then pull it down. (Figure 22)
• Carefully wash the milk frother and steam nozzle in warm water.
• Check that the two holes (indicated by the arrows in Figure 23) are not clogged. If necessary,

Figure 21

Figure 22

Figure 23

24

clean them using a needle or pin.

• Replace the steam nozzle by inserting it and vigorously turning it upwards into the steam spout.
• Replace the milk frother by pushing it upwards and turning it counter-clockwise.

Figure 24

15.6 Cleaning the Brewing System:

Warning: The brewing system can only be removed when the machine is off. Attempting to remove the brewing system with the machine on will risk causing damage.

Note: The brewing system must be cleaned very frequently (depending on use) to prevent it from filling with coffee deposits (that may lead to malfunctions). To clean it, proceed as follows:

• Make sure the machine is turned off, but do not unplug it. Wait for all indicator lights to go off.
• Open the service door (Figure 24).

• Remove the drip tray and used coffee container and clean them (as noted above).
• Press the two red release buttons on the brewing system (Figure 25) and pull it out.
• Wash the brewing system under running water, without using detergents. Never place the brewing system in

Figure 25

the dishwasher.

Carefully clean the inside of the machine by scraping it with a plastic or wooden fork (Figure 26) and then pick up all the residues using a vacuum cleaner (Figure 27).

Replace the brewing system by sliding it onto the supports and the pin at the bottom. Then push the PUSH symbol fully in until you hear a click.

Figure 26

Check that the two red buttons have opened back out, otherwise the service door cannot close properly.

• If the brewing system is not inserted correctly until hearing the click, the two red buttons have not opened out properly and the service door will not close, and the machine will not operate. The ⚠ light will start flashing if this is the case.
• If it is difficult to insert the brewing system, squeeze it into size by vigorously pressing from above and below at the same time (Figure 28).
• If it is still difficult to insert the brewing system, leave it out of the machine, close the service

door, unplug the machine from the power outlet and then plug it in

again. Wait for all the lights to go off, then open the door and replace the brewing system.

• Replace the drip tray and used coffee container.
• Close the service door.

Figure 27

Figure 28

15.7 Decalcification:

• Due to the continuous heating of the water used to make espresso / coffee, over time it is normal for the tubing inside the machine to fill with lime scale. When the lights start flashing, it is time to decalcify the machine.
• When the 🎨 🥘 light switches on, the machine still can be used to prepare espresso / coffee. But for the best tasting espresso / coffee, it is recommended that you decalcify the machine when the 🎨 🥘 light starts to flash.
• The machine must be plugged in and turned on during the decalcification process.

Proceed as follows:

• Prepare the solution as indicated on the packaging of the decalcification product supplied with the machine. To purchase the decalcification solution, please contact a De'Longhi customer service representative at 1-800-322-3848 (U.S. Only). Note: Only use the decalcification solution supplied by De'Longhi.
• Pour the contents of the bottle (20 oz. / 0.5 liters) into the water tank and then add water (20 oz. / 0.5 liters – as described in the instructions on the bottle).
• Place a container (with a minimum capacity of 60 oz. / 1.5 liters) under the milk frother (Figure 5).
• Turn the machine on by pressing the power button (Figure 6).
• Wait for the green 📁 and 🌐 🌐 🌐 🐘 indicator lights to illuminate steadily (not flashing).

26

• Press and hold the 🎨 🌐 button for at least 5 seconds (Figure 29). The button will illuminate to indicate the start of the decalcification process (the 🎨 and 🌐 lights remain off to indicate that it is not possible to make espresso / coffee).
• Turn the steam control dial half a turn counterclockwise (Figure 7). The decalcification solution will come out of the milk frother and start to fill the container underneath.
• The decalcification process automatically performs a series of deliveries and pauses to remove the lime scale deposits from inside the machine.
• After about 30 minutes, when the light illuminates, turn the steam control dial half a turn clockwise (Figure 8) until it stops.

Note: The machine must be rinsed to eliminate residues of decalcification solution from inside the machine.

Figure 29

Proceed as follows:

• Remove the water tank, rinse it and fill it with clean, cold water. Replace the tank
• Empty the collection container (located underneath the milk frother) that is full of liquid, and then replace it under the milk frother.
• Turn the steam control dial a turn counter-clockwise (Figure 7). Hot water will release from the milk frother and fill the container underneath.
• When the water tank is empty, the light goes off and the light illuminates.
• Turn the steam control dial all the way clockwise (Figure 8) and fill the water tank with clean, cold water again.
• The decalcification process has now ended, and the machine is ready to deliver espresso / coffee again.
• Note: If the decalcification process is terminated before completion, the ⚠ illuminates and the procedure must be started again from the beginning.
