Setup

3. Assembly: Ensure the frothing spout is securely attached to the lid, and the lid is properly seated on the carafe jug.
4. Attachment to Coffee Machine: Refer to your DeLonghi ECAM 24.450.S coffee machine's manual for specific instructions on how to correctly attach the milk carafe to the machine's milk delivery system. Ensure a secure connection to prevent leaks.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to prepare frothed milk using your DeLonghi Milk Carafe:

1. Fill with Milk: Open the carafe lid and fill the jug with cold milk. Do not exceed the 'MAX' fill line indicated on the carafe. For best results, use fresh, cold milk.
2. Adjust Foam Dial: Rotate the adjustable foam dial on the carafe lid to your desired foam consistency. Settings typically range from minimal foam to thick, rich foam.
3. Place Carafe: Securely attach the filled milk carafe to your DeLonghi ECAM 24.450.S coffee machine as per the machine's instructions.
4. Select Beverage: Choose your desired milk-based beverage (e.g., cappuccino, latte) from your coffee machine's menu.
5. Start Frothing: Initiate the beverage preparation cycle on your coffee machine. The machine will draw milk from the carafe, froth it, and dispense it into your cup.
6. After Use: After dispensing, remove the carafe from the machine. If there is remaining milk, store the carafe in the refrigerator. Always clean the carafe thoroughly after each use to prevent milk residue buildup.

Important: Always ensure the milk carafe is clean and properly assembled before each use to maintain optimal performance and hygiene.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning is crucial for the hygiene and longevity of your milk carafe. Clean the carafe immediately after each use.

Daily Cleaning:

1. Disassemble: Remove the milk carafe from the coffee machine. Disassemble the lid, frothing spout, and any other removable components from the jug.
2. Rinse: Rinse all parts under warm running water to remove milk residue.
3. Wash: Wash all components with warm water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Use a soft brush or sponge to clean hard-to-reach areas, especially inside the frothing spout and around the foam dial mechanism.
4. Rinse and Dry: Rinse all parts thoroughly to remove any soap residue. Allow all components to air dry completely or dry with a soft, clean cloth before reassembling or storing.

Deep Cleaning (Weekly/Bi-weekly):

For a more thorough cleaning, especially if you notice milk residue buildup or reduced frothing performance:

• Use a specialized milk system cleaner (available from DeLonghi or other reputable brands) according to the product's instructions.
• Ensure all internal channels of the frothing system are clear. A small cleaning brush may be helpful for this.

Caution: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the carafe's surfaces.
