How to descale your Delonghi coffee machine to make your coffee purer

Delonghi coffee machine is a common appliance in modern households, which can help us make delicious coffee. However, after long-term use, scale and sediment are easily accumulated inside the Delonghi coffee machine, which will affect the quality of the coffee made. Therefore, it is necessary to clean and descale it regularly in daily use. The following will introduce how to use Delonghi coffee machine correctly to remove scale and sediment.

Step 1: Preparation

Before you start cleaning, make sure you have disconnected the power cord and wait at least 30 minutes for the device to cool down. You will also need to prepare the following materials:

• White vinegar or special rust remover
• Clean rag or sponge
• Shimizu
• Soft-bristled scrub brush or toothbrush (optional)

Tips:

- If you choose to use white vinegar for cleaning, make sure the concentration of white vinegar is not too high. It is generally recommended to use diluted white vinegar.

- If you choose to use a dedicated rust remover, follow the instructions on the manual.

Step 2: Clean the water tank and drip tray

First, remove the water tank from the coffee machine and pour out any remaining water. Then, rinse it thoroughly with clean water. If you find any stubborn stains or deposits, you can gently wipe them with a soft-bristled brush or toothbrush. Next, remove the drip tray and follow the same cleaning process.

Step 3: Descaling

To solve the scale and sediment problems inside the Delonghi coffee machine, we can choose the following two methods to deal with them:

1. Using White Vinegar:

Pour the diluted white vinegar into the coffee machine and add enough water to make the liquid level exceed the maximum line. Then run the coffee machine as normal (without adding coffee powder) until all the dirt dissolved in the white vinegar is removed. Finally, repeat the program with clean water to thoroughly rinse off the white vinegar residue.

2. Use special rust remover:

According to the instructions on the manual, pour an appropriate amount of special rust remover into the coffee machine and add enough clean water to make the liquid level exceed the maximum line. Then run the normal program to make coffee once (without adding coffee powder) until all the dirt dissolved in the rust remover is removed. Finally, repeat the program with clean water to thoroughly rinse off the residue.

Step 4: External cleaning

Use a damp cloth or sponge with a small amount of warm water and neutral detergent to wipe and clean the external surface. Be careful not to let any liquid enter the interior of the device.

Step 5: Regular maintenance

In order to keep the Delonghi coffee machine in use for a long time and always be able to make delicious and pure coffee, we also need to regularly perform the following maintenance work:

• Replace the filter and paper regularly to avoid excessive accumulation of coffee grounds.
• Clean the spray head and water pipe of the coffee machine regularly to prevent clogging.
• Be sure to use high-quality water sources and avoid using tap water that contains too many impurities or chlorine.

Tips:

- If you do not use your Delonghi coffee machine for a long time, please store it in a dry and ventilated place and make sure the inside of the device is completely dry.

By properly descaling your Delonghi coffee machine, we can ensure that the coffee you make is purer and more delicious. Regular cleaning and maintenance is very important, as it not only prolongs the life of the machine, but also improves the quality of the coffee you make.
