Instructions
☕ Coffee Machine
Your Espresso Experience at AMARA
Each apartment has a DeLonghi Dedica EC 685.M espresso machine with professional milk frothing – your own compact barista station for real Italian-style espresso, cappuccino and latte.
Choose Your Filter (C2 • C3 • C4)
The portafilter handle (C1) comes with three inserts so you can prepare coffee just the way you like it:
- C2 – single shot for one classic espresso
- C3 – double shot for two cups or one stronger coffee
- C4 – ESE pod filter (e.g., illy ESE pads; available at Supermercado Silvia, 15 m after the church on Calle Real)
Tip: don’t overfill and tamp gently – that’s how you get a smooth flow and lovely crema.
Getting Ready
- Fill the water tank (back) with fresh drinking water.
- Check power: plug in and set the small side switch to ON.
- Press Power – lights blink ~30s while heating; steady lights = ready.
Make Your Espresso
- Insert your chosen filter (C2/C3/C4) into the portafilter.
- Add ground coffee (one level scoop per cup) or an ESE pod (for C4).
- Tamp gently (even, light pressure).
- Lock the portafilter in place (push in, turn to the right).
- Place cups under the spout and press 1 cup or 2 cups.
Pre-warm cups with hot water for hotter coffee and better crema.
Professional Milk Frothing
- Fill a small jug with cold milk (whole milk froths best).
- Turn the steam knob on the right to start steam.
- Tip the jug slightly and keep the frother tip just under the surface.
- Move the jug gently up/down until the milk doubles in volume and feels silky.
- Turn the steam knob to OFF and wipe the wand with a damp cloth.

How to Use the Pellet Stove
Welcome to AMARA! This guide shows you how to enjoy cozy warmth, safely and easily.
At a glance
- ON: Hold ON/OFF (~3s). Stove starts ignition automatically.
- Set temperature: 1/2 (°C). The stove reduces when warm enough.
- More/less heat: 6/5.
- Pellets only: certified 6 mm wood pellets. Keep door closed.
Turning ON
- Check power first: make sure the plug is connected to the wall socket and the small rocker switch on the back of the stove is set to ON.
- Check pellets in the hopper (top). Add a small bag if low.
- Press and hold ON/OFF for 3 seconds.
- The stove passes through phases: Ignition → Preheating → Flame → Working (a few minutes).
Set Temperature & Power
- Temperature: use 1/2.
- Heating power: 6 (more), 5 (less).
Adding Pellets
- Open the top hopper lid.
- Pour in pellets slowly. Store them dry.

Use only DIN/EN Plus pellets. Low-quality pellets cause soot and alarms.
Turning OFF

Care & Clean (only when cold)
- Empty or brush the brazier if ash builds up.
- Wipe glass gently with dry paper.
Safety reminders
- Glass and metal parts become hot – please keep children supervised.
- Never use liquids or other fuels, only pellets.
- Keep curtains and soft items away from the stove.
