Question 2

What is the recommended descaling process for my De'Longhi Dinamica Plus ECAM370.85.SB espresso machine?

Accepted Answer

The De'Longhi Dinamica Plus ECAM350.85.SB espresso machine has a built-in decalcifier function that helps to maintain the optimal performance of your machine by removing lime scale deposits from inside the boiler and heating system. Here is how you can use it:

1. Fill the water tank with water, ensuring it is at least 2/3 full. You will need this water for the decalcification process.

2. Add the descaling solution to the water tank. The recommended ratio of descaling solution to water is 1 part solution to 25 parts water. Use a quality descaler specifically designed for coffee machines, such as De'Longhi's own Cafina Decalcifier.

3. Press the "Menu" button and scroll down with the arrows to select "Decalcify." You can do this either on the TFT display or through the control panel. If you are using the TFT display, press the "OK" button to confirm your selection.

4. The machine will begin the decalcification process and a message will appear on the display indicating that it is in progress. During this time, the machine will use the water with descaling solution to clean itself.

5. After the decalcification process has finished, the machine will give you an alert telling you so. The entire process should take about 20-30 minutes depending on the buildup of lime scale in your machine.

6. Once the process is complete, empty the water tank and refill it with fresh water to rinse out any remaining descaling solution. Run a few cycles without brewing anything to ensure that all traces of the descaling solution have been flushed out.

7. The machine will be ready to use again after the rinsing process is complete. You may need to run a cycle or two using only water to ensure that there are no lingering tastes from the descaling solution.

Remember, it's recommended to descale your De'Longhi Dinamica Plus ECAM350.85.SB espresso machine every 2-4 months, depending on how often you use it and the quality of water used in your area.
