FAQs

How often should I descale the machine?

Descale your Dedica Arte when the descaling indicator lights up. Typically, this is every 1-3 months, depending on your water hardness.

Can I use pre-ground coffee?

Yes, the Dedica Arte is designed to use pre-ground coffee. Use a fine grind for best results.

What is the best way to clean the steam wand?

After each use, wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth. Also, purge the wand after each milk frothing session.

How much coffee should I use for a single shot?

Use approximately 7-8 grams of ground coffee for a single shot.

What kind of water should I use?

Use filtered water to prevent scale buildup and improve the taste of your coffee.

What is the warranty period?

The warranty period is typically two years from the date of purchase. Refer to the user manual for details.

Can I adjust the temperature?

Yes, the Dedica Arte has adjustable temperature settings for optimal brewing.

Can I make two espresso shots at once?

Yes, the portafilter has a dual spout, so you can brew two shots simultaneously.

Troubleshooting

Machine won't turn on.

Check the power cord and outlet. Make sure the power switch is in the 'on' position.

Espresso is weak or watery.

Use a finer grind of coffee, tamp the grounds more firmly, and ensure sufficient coffee is used.

Milk frothing is not working well.

Purge the steam wand first, then position the wand just below the surface of the milk and introduce air while frothing.

Machine is making unusual noises.

Descale the machine. Ensure the water tank is properly seated. If the issue persists, contact De'Longhi customer support.

Water is leaking.

Check the water tank connection and ensure it is properly seated. Check the portafilter seal and ensure it is clean.
