FAQ · De’Longhi Dinamica
Does this guide cover Dinamica Plus?
No. Dinamica Plus ECAM38x uses a different display and procedures. Use the exact ECAM38x manual and do not map its messages to ECAM35x icons.
Should every red light trigger descaling?
No. Descale only when the exact descale icon is identified. Tank, grounds-container, infuser and general-alarm icons require different actions.
