Frequently Asked Questions - ECP31 DELONGHI

How do I make espresso with the DeLonghi ECP31?

Fill the water tank, insert the appropriate filter (1 or 2 cups) into the filter holder, add ground coffee (one measure for single, two for double), press lightly with the tamper, attach the filter holder to the machine, place a cup under the spout, wait for the OK light to come on, then turn the mode selector dial to the coffee position. When the desired amount is dispensed, turn the dial back to I (Stand-by).

How do I prepare cappuccino?

First make one or two espresso coffees in large cups. With the selector in I position, wait for OK light. Fill a container with cold milk (refrigerator temperature). Ensure the cappuccino maker ring is in 'CAPPUCCINO' position (ECP35.31) or simply immerse the nozzle. Open steam briefly to purge water, then immerse the cappuccino maker about 5 mm into the milk and open the steam dial. When milk doubles in volume, immerse deeper and heat to 60°C. Close steam, pour frothed milk over espresso.

Why is my coffee not hot enough?

Possible causes: the OK light was not on when delivering coffee, the machine was not preheated, cups were not pre-warmed, or scale buildup. Preheat by running water through the filter holder without coffee until the OK light turns off, then repeat. Always rinse cups with hot water before use. Descale regularly.

How do I clean the cappuccino maker after use?

After each use, turn the steam dial to deliver steam for a few seconds to flush milk residue. Turn off and let cool. Remove the cappuccino maker by pulling downward. For ECP35.31, remove the nozzle and check the two holes are not blocked (clean with a pin if needed). Reassemble and push upward to attach.

How often should I descale the coffee maker?

Descaling is recommended approximately every 200 coffees. Use De'Longhi descaler (C6, available separately). Follow the descaling procedure in the manual: fill tank with diluted descaler, run 1/4 of solution through, wait 5 minutes, repeat until tank empty, then rinse with fresh water twice.

What does the OK light indicate?

The OK light (B2) illuminates when the boiler has reached the optimal temperature for coffee or steam delivery. You should only start coffee extraction or steam when the light is on. If it goes off during use, wait for it to come back on before resuming.

Can I use coffee pods?

Yes, the DeLonghi ECP31 is compatible with ESE (Easy Serving Espresso) pods. Use the dedicated pod filter (C4). Insert the pod centered on the filter, attach the filter holder, and proceed as with ground coffee. Preheating is recommended for hotter coffee.

Why is no coffee coming out?

Check that the water tank is filled and correctly inserted (valves open). Ensure the filter holder is properly attached and the spout holes are not blocked. Clean the boiler outlet if needed. Scale buildup may also cause blockage – descale the machine.

How do I get hot water from the cappuccino maker?

Turn the appliance on and wait for the OK light. Place a container under the cappuccino maker. Turn the mode selector dial to the steam position and simultaneously turn the steam dial to the open position. Hot water will flow. To stop, turn both dials back to I and 0 respectively. Do not dispense hot water for more than 60 seconds.

What is the auto-off feature?

If the appliance is not used for a period of time (varies by model), it turns off automatically. The power light goes out. To restart, press the ON/OFF button. This feature saves energy and enhances safety.

Tips for a hotter coffee

To make espresso coffee at the right temperature, the coffee maker should be preheated as follows:

1. Turn the appliance on by pressing the ON/OFF switch (the ON light comes on) (fig. 4) and attach the filter holder to the appliance without adding pre-ground coffee (fig. 6).
2. Place a cup under the filter holder. Use the same cup as will be used to prepare the coffee in order to preheat it.
3. Wait until the OK light comes on (fig. 8) and immediately afterwards turn the selector dial to the ☐/☐ position (fig. 9) and let water discharge until the OK light turns off, then interrupt by turning the dial to the I position.
4. Empty the cup, wait until the OK light comes on again and then repeat the same operation.

(It is normal for a small and harmless puff of steam to be given off when removing the filter holder).

Mugs or glasses tray (models ECP35.31 and ECP33.21 only)

If you are using tall cups or glasses (for example, to make long coffee or macchiato), extract the drip tray and rest the cup directly on the mugs or glasses tray (A14 - fig. 11).

Once you have made your coffee, put the drip tray back in position.

HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PRE-GROUND COFFEE

Important: Everytime you switch on the appliance, make sure that the mode selector dial (B1) is turned to I position (Stand-by).

1. Place the ground coffee filter (C2 or C3) in the filter holder. Use the filter to make one coffee or the filter to make two coffees.
2. To make just one coffee, place one level measure of pre-ground coffee (about 7 g) in the filter. (fig. 12).

To make two coffees, place two loosely filled measures (about 6+6 g) of pre-ground coffee in the filter.

Fill the filter a little at a time to prevent the pre-ground coffee from overflowing.

Important: For correct operation, before filling with pre-ground coffee, make sure there are no coffee residues left in the filter from the last time you made coffee.

1. Distribute the pre-ground coffee evenly and press lightly with the presser (fig. 13). Correct pressing of the pre-ground coffee is essential to obtain a good espresso. If pressing is excessive, coffee delivery will be slow and the froth will be dark. If pressing is too light, coffee delivery will be too rapid and the froth will be skimpy and light coloured.
2. Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder and attach to the appliance. Turn the handle firmly towards the right (fig. 6) to avoid water leaking out.
3. Place the cup or cups under the filter holder spouts (fig. 14). You are recommended to warm the cups before making coffee by rinsing them with a little hot water.
4. Make sure the OK light (fig. 8) is on (if off, wait until it comes on), then turn the mode selector dial to the ☐/☐ position. When the desired amount of coffee has been delivered, turn the dial to the I position.
5. To remove the filter holder, turn the handle from right to left.

Danger of burns! To avoid splashes, never remove the filter holder while the appliance is delivering coffee.

1. To turn the appliance off, press the ON/OFF button.

HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PODS

1. Preheat the appliance as described in the section "Tips for a hotter coffee", making sure the filter holder is attached. This obtains a hotter coffee.

i Please note: Use pods conforming to the ESE standard, indicated on the pack by the following symbol. The ESE standard is a system accepted by leading pod producers and enables espresso coffee to be prepared simply and cleanly.

1. Place the pod coffee filter (C4) in the filter holder.

2. Insert the pod, centring it as far as possible on the filter (fig. 15). Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to position the pod on the filter correctly.

3. Attach the filter holder to the appliance. Always turn as far as it will go (fig. 6).
4. Proceed as in points 5, 6 and 7 in the previous section.

HOW TO PREPARE CAPPUCCINO COFFEE

Important: Everytime you switch on the appliance, make sure that the mode selector dial (B1) is turned to I position (Stand-by).

1. Prepare the espresso coffees as described in the previous sections, using sufficiently large cups.
2. Turn the selector to the position (fig. 16) and wait until the OK light comes on.
3. In the meantime, fill a recipient with about 100 grams of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared. The milk must be at refrigerator temperature (not hot!). In choosing the size of the recipient, bear in mind that the milk doubles or triples in volume (fig. 17).

i Please note: You are recommended to use semi-skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature.

1. ECP 35.31 only: Make sure the cappuccino maker selection ring (A10) is in the "CAPPUCCINO" position (fig. 18).
2. Place the recipient containing the milk under the cappuccino maker.
3. Wait until the OK light comes on. This indicates that the boiler has reached the ideal temperature for steam production.
4. Open the steam by turning the steam selector to the / position for a few seconds to eliminate any water in the circuit. Close the steam.
5. Immerse the cappuccino maker in the milk for about 5 mm (fig. 19) and turn the steam dial to the position. The milk now starts to increase in volume and take on a creamy appearance.
6. When the milk has doubled in volume, immerse the cap-puccino maker deeply and continue heating the milk. When the required temperature (the ideal is 60^ C) is reached, interrupt steam delivery by turning the steam dial to the 0 position and the mode selector dial to the I position.
7. Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the coffee prepared previously. The cappuccino is ready. Sweeten to taste and if desired, sprinkle the froth with a little cocoa powder.

i Please note:

• To prepare more than one cappuccino, first make all the coffees then at the end prepare the frothed milk for all the cappuccinos.
  • To make coffee again after the milk has been frothed, first cool the boiler, or the coffee will be burnt. To cool it, place a container under the boiler outlet, turn

the mode selector dial to the position and deliver water until the OK

light goes off. Return the selector to the 1 position and then proceed to make coffee.

You are recommended to deliver steam for a maximum of 60 seconds and never to froth milk more than three times consecutively.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS (UK ONLY)

Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage indicated on the product corresponds with the main voltage in your home, if you are in any doubt about your supply contact your local electricity company.

The flexible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug having a fuse of 13 amp capacity.

Should this plug not fit the socket outlets in your home, it should be cut off and replaced with a suitable plug, following the procedure outlined below.

Note: Such a plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be properly disposed of and not left where children might find it and plug it into a supply socket - with the obvious consequent danger.

N.B. We recommend the use of good quality plugs and wall sockets that can be switched off when the machine is not in use.

IMPORTANT: the wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and Yellow to Earth

GREEN AND YELLOW

BLUE

BROWN

EARTH

NEUTRAL

LIVE

Blue to neutral

13 amp

Fuse

Brown to

live

Cord Clamp

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

• The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol ⏚ or coloured green or green and yellow.
• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the mains lead clamp on the plug. If your electricity supply point has only two pin socket outlets, or if you are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be carried out by a qualified electrician and should only be replaced with a flexible cord of the same size.

After replacement of a fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the fuse recess or elsewhere on the plug. Always state this colour when ordering a replacement fuse cover. Only 13amp replacement fuses which are asta approved to B.S. 1362 should be fitted.

This appliance conforms to the Norms EN 55014 regarding the suppression of radio interference.

Warning - this appliance must be earthed
