6. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your De'Longhi Dinamica Plus coffee machine. The machine features automatic cleaning programs to simplify this process.
6.1 Daily Cleaning
- Drip Tray and Grounds Container: Empty and rinse the drip tray and coffee grounds container daily. These components are easily removable.
- Milk Carafe: After each use, perform the automatic cleaning cycle for the milk carafe. Detach the carafe and store any remaining milk in the refrigerator. Regularly disassemble and wash all parts of the milk carafe with warm water and mild detergent.
6.2 Descaling
The machine will prompt you when descaling is required. Follow the on-screen instructions and use a suitable De'Longhi descaling solution. Regular descaling prevents limescale buildup, which can affect machine performance and coffee taste.
6.3 Water Filter Replacement
Replace the water filter as indicated by the machine or every two months, whichever comes first. This helps maintain water quality and reduces the frequency of descaling.

If you encounter issues with your coffee machine, refer to the following common problems and solutions. For more detailed troubleshooting, consult the De'Longhi Coffee Link app or the full product manual.
- No Coffee Dispensed: Check water tank level, ensure beans are in the hopper, and verify the brewing unit is correctly inserted.
- Poor Milk Froth: Ensure the milk carafe is clean, the milk is fresh and cold, and the frothing nozzle is not blocked.
- Error Messages: The display will show specific error codes or messages. Refer to the app or full manual for detailed explanations and solutions.
