DeLonghi Dinamica ECAM 350.55.B Bean to Cup Coffee Machine – Black

This happens when the grounds container was emptied out when coffee machine is switched off. The system doesn't recognise that the grounds were thrown away. Now, when the appliance is switched on, remove the drip tray together with the grounds container and reinsert it.

You can find the grinding adjustment knob in the bean container.
For the courser grinding level: while the grinder is in motion, dial it by one notch towards number 7 (at once only by one notch).
For the finer grinding level: whilr the grinder is in motion, dial it by one notch towards number 1 (at once only by one notch).
It is very important to regulate the grinder only when the grinder is grinding, otherwise you can damage the grinding mechanism. Result of your adjustment can be felt only after a few drinks.

This means that the brewing unit has not returned to its original position. Turn off the coffee machine completely (using the button on the back), switch the coffee machine on again and let it run for a full rinsing cycle, and switch it off again. The brewing unit had to return to its place. Now try to remove it.

1. Make sure that milk you are using is fresh and at refrigerator temperature (when the milk is finished and you are pouring the new one, please clean the milk container throughly before adding the new milk).

If you're absolutely sure that your water is soft and limescale-free, you don't have to use the filter, but we recommend performing a water hardness test with the help of a special strip (included in the set) and setting the correct water hardness in your coffee machine based on the result of that test.

This coffee machine requires original "De'Longhi" filters, which can be purchased here: https://www.coffeefriend.co.uk/p/water-filter-delonghi-dls/.

Yes, the milk container is safe to wash in a dishwasher.

– Make sure the milk you're using contains enough fat (3.2–3.5%).

The maintenance of this coffee machine is nearly fully automated. To perform the built-in maintenance programs, you'll need the following products:

1. A water filter. You'll have to replace it every few months.

2. A special descaler (the frequency with which you have to perform the descaling program depends on how hard your water is).

3. A milk system cleaner.
