Instructions:
To begin, remove all easily removable parts like water reservoir, drip tray, and portafilter. Remove the two screws of the top, and push the top backwards to disengage the plastic clips inside. Drop the top off to the side. Remove ground wires and button assembly from the top. Now remove the bottom, with numerous screws. Then, remove the ground wires from the bottom. Next, remove the water hose attachment to the water reservoir. Back inside the top, remove the hose connecting the steam wand to the pump. Keep the clips handy. Remove the screws around the group head. Now, carefully remove the cassette from the housing, being careful of the on/off switch. Remove the white plastic nut from the steam wand, and remove the steam wand. Put the white plastic nut on the new steam wand, and insert it into the machine. Attach clip.
Reassemble the machine in the reverse order. Make sure to attach the hose securely over the lip of the new steam wand. Be careful when inserting the cassette, of the on/off button, since the cassette can get stuck here. Make sure to reattach all ground wires. After assembly, check for functionality. For questions, check the comment section.

I need your help! I replaced my steam wand with the one that you also use but I can not prepare moxe creamy milk. the reason is because the milk is burnt very fast due to very high pressure of steam from the new wand. what am I doing wrong ?
Just take a minute to appreciate how much effort this man has put behind recording every minute step for a greater good. Kudos Tom! I was able to upgrade mine successfully! Was it complex - seemingly, was it fun doing it on my own - ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU!
Thank you, Abhishek, for such kind words!
All Delonghi Dedica users say THANK YOU SO MUCH! Very helpful and detailed video.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your kind feedback!
I love how this guy is a normal guy that likes coffee, helps people that don't want to spend $1000+ on coffee products enjoy their coffee more
Tom.... i want you to know that 2 years on, your video here on UA-cam on how to upgrade the steam wand to a Rancilio type is still the BEST guide! It is detailed & very step by step and it DARN WORKS!I I am sure i am speaking on behalf of all 656 commenters here too,... we would not have been able to systematically do this without u and your fantastic video! You save us a tonnnnne of elbow grease, numbed fingers and also broken Delonghi clips with this amazing video of yours. Today, because of your video, I got mine done in all less than 1 hour. Note: Tough the white-plastic-elbow holder would never fit reardless whatever glove i wear. Maybe my fingers are not as strong as yours, for sure.... what i had to do: I had to drill it bigger by a little bit (and use some plumber's teflon tape to snug it before clipping in that C clip..... I can only think of this after i watch you put in so much effort during that part of the video. A great heads up there, Tom! Really! Again Tom, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Love from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Andrew Boey
@@andrewboey4838 thank you so much for your kind words, Andrew!
Just completed the mod following your tutorial, excellent level of detail. Thank you
Getting the nut onto the new wand was a nightmare.
A tip I found in comments somewhere is to heat the plastic nut in hot water to soften it and then it will push on much easier. Worked a treat for me
Great to hear! Thanks for writing that tip, as well. I had to put on gloves to get a better grip for sliding the nut. Have fun with the mod! Tom
I was having trouble with the nut and this did the trick, thank you
worked for me as well. thanks
Damn i wish I would've seen this before I did mine.
I think I wouldn't be able to upgrade mine without this amazingly explained video. Thank you very much for your help!
Thank you. I've had this video favorited for a year now, at least, getting dedica, finally deciding to buy the replacement wand. Finally did it today. Your instructions were a huge help.
Have to sa i strugled the most with something you made seem effortless. The little circular pin holding the plastic nut in place. Almost gave up and broke the thing, but i managed to get it in the end. The nut went on the replacent wand with far less problems. Everything clicled the first time and it works great.
Thanks again
I used this to successfully replaced the steam wand. Thank you! I also like to share a trick which helped in pushing the white nylon piece into the steam wand easily. I tried using hands and thought it was impossible, I almost gave up, then I fit the piece back into the machine at the original location, push the steam wand right through it while the piece is in place, using the housing to hold it. That was a breeze. Wanted to share this. 😅
Bro Holy u the goat !!!!! I tried it and it took me 10 sec to fit it in HAHA love u bro
I didn't want to upgrade my De'Longhi Dedica Style EC685.M with a different steam wand, but just replace the old steam wand with a broken plastic end by the identical new replacement steam wand. So the explanations I needed were mostly the same as shown here. Thanks a lot for this video! It is well done, very elaborate and carefully explains all necessary steps in detail.
this video finally worked out for me! thank you so much!!
For everyone who is afraid of doing this upgrade: I am someone with ZERO craftmanship, but I thought to myself „there‘s nothing I can really damage or destroy on this machine.“ So why not give it a try and see how it works out? This video is explained so well that there is no chance of doing something wrong. The hardest part for me was getting the plastic thing on to the new wand. Using gloves + dish soap and somehow it worked
Thanks for your feedback Mr. Gibson, and good job on completing the modification! 🤗
Thank you for this, the new steam wand is a total game changer.
I just followed your instructions on a EC685, and it works perfectly.
Thank you very much ! 😊👍
Awesome! 👏 😎 Hope you have fun with it!
perfect tutorial. followed you step by step and never felt insecure. THANK YOU!
Glad it helped! Thanks for the feedback, Andreas! Now on to some milk frothing. 🥛
Thanks a lot Tom for this tutorial. Went smooth and without any problem.
And I have to admit: WOW!
The difference between stock Dedica 680 wand and Silvia wand is so huge, I couldn't even imagine how much it'll improve my latte art.
Thanks a lot again and keep up good work!
You're the best, cheers!
Awesome! Have fun practicing your latte art!
This video provided an excellent step-by-step guide to what could have otherwise been a difficult upgrade. Thank you
Great to hear! Have fun with your new steam wand!
The best tutorial out there. I was hesitant after watching the other videos out there, but this one is so detailed and shows every single step. Thanks a lot, it went smoothly :)
Awesome, heladar! Comments like this make me happy I documented all the steps. Happy coffee drinking!
@@TomsCoffeeCorner same for you Tom and thank you again, I am enjoying a fabulous latte right now thanks to the upgrade :) it's definitely worth it!
Thanks for the video! 2 hours and the new steam wand is installed)
I have two observations though, which I did not expect from such modification. At first, the steam operation is veeery loud now, but I might be caused by the wrong technique. And secondly, it seems like the machine is now running hotter than before. Have you observed any of these by yourself?
@@denisbelyakov3438 what do you mean by hotter? The end itself is hotter cause it's fully metal If you mean that :D
@@denisbelyakov3438 Hey there Денис, well the steam wand is now longer, so you have to be careful that it doesn't get too close to the metal. Whether it runs hotter, I cannot tell. It does not seem that way to me. Anyway, nothing about the heating element has changed. But, be careful because the steam wand WILL get very hot now!
Thanks for watching!
Just did this, and managed to replace the Y-shaped connector at the same time as it was leaking. All working perfectly now. Thanks for such clear instructions!
Excellent! Great job fixing your machine!
Hi Tom! I just finished the rancilio mod using your great video!! Thanks!! The only thing I did differently is that I popped the power button off the body and the machine slided out easily! Yours is the best video out there!
Awesome, Dimitris! Glad to hear it. Cheers, Tom
Thank you so much for your video and detailed guideline, my machine works very well now. I used pliers to remove the white plastic stuff on the new steam wand. It caused a lot of scratches, but it is much more effective than only by hand, and saves a lot of time. I do not mind the scratches, cause you will not see it when you complete reassembly.
Thank you. According to your video, I have replaced the new steam wand successfully.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I followed all your steps and made it
You’re a real hero thanks ❤
Good day! Thank you very much, I ordered the tube, I will start replacing it next weekend using your video
Just used this video as a guide to install this steam wand to my SMEG ECF01. Thanks a bunch for making it, was very helpful!
Glad it helped! Enjoy making latte art!
Hey Tom,
Cheers for the thoughtful and detailed guide. I'll be sure to follow this guide when it comes to modifying my dedica :)
Keep up the excellent work!
Hey there Luke! Thanks very much for the kudos. Wishing you a nice DIY project, when you get your new steam wand.
Happy coffee drinking! ☕️
-T
What a video 🙌 thank you for the meticulous detail included - didn’t get lost once. The tip on the gloves for the wand nut was much appreciated - Marigolds did the trick 😅 thanks again!
I have seen many videos in your channel and let me say this. If everyone makes videos like you. The world will be better place.
Wow, that's so kind of you to say - thanks for the positive vibes! Tom
I used this video to upgrade the steam wand on my DeLonghi. 10/10!!!
Just another comment to say I completed the upgrade following along with this video.
Like everyone is saying this is a high quality instructional video clearly showing each step with a concise explanation.
If you follow this video you can't go wrong.
Thank you for your feedback. I am really glad to hear that the video helped. Cheers! Tom
Hey Tom, thanks for the video! Super through and helpful! Mission accomplished this evening !
Nice work! I am happy to hear it! 😉
Thanks for the video Tom, I just done the upgrade today and it went perfectly.
Very good, MM... glad to hear it!
Thank you for a fantastic video, I´m changing my steam wand tomorrow and feeling confident after watching your video (multiple times)! Thanks!
Best of luck! And thanks for the feedback!
I just did this today. Took me 2.5hrs where Tom said he took 1.5hrs so I was pretty happy. It was fiddly but the video had all the steps to make me feel comfortable. There was a couple of extra screws not mentioned on the bottom of my model near the water tank. Might be a newer model. Take photos and try and put the right length screws back where they belong. I’m very excited now to learn how to use this steam wand properly.
Awesome job, Ben! Thanks for the feedback, and happy coffee drinking!
Brilliant I love the Delonghi Dedica. I just ordered this steam wand. Picking it up tomorrow and will install during the weekend. Hopefully things will turn out perfectly splendid! \0/
Hope you enjoy it! Have fun doing the mod! Tom
Hi Tom, thank you very much for this video.... really helpful. I followed this closely and was able to successfully install the Rancilio wand quickly... there were only a few minor differences in my unit with clamps, etc but nothing a quick trip to the hardware store couldn't solve. Thanks again for taking the time to post a comprehensive guide!
You're welcome, Andrew! Glad it worked out for you! Did you use automotive hose clamps, or what did you find? Cheers, Tom
@@TomsCoffeeCorner Yes, I just used 3/8 inch easy spring hose clamps (for water lines) from the local home improvement store. They were an easy fix after removing the OEM clamp. Andy
@@andrewpiepel8548 Very nice, Andy! Would you mind providing a link to them? That would certainly be helpful to many others, I'm sure. 😉
Thanks for that great video. Took me over 2 hours but only because I had great difficulty with the plastic nut over the new Wand. My advice use pliers carefully on the nut plus a bit washing up liquid then it’s fairly straightforward.
You need to note the differing screw lengths for the inside of the cassette removal as said by a few. Also the Earth connection deep in the machine is a bit of a sod else all good. Thanks again. 👍
Thanks for this vid It helped me to replace older wand to the thin o e I took me 2 hrs but I loved my Dilongi Moore than before .. many thanks 😊❤
Awesome instructions, thanks! I am not a handy person but found that by following your step-by-step walkthrough, I got the espresso machine apart and put it back together apparently without breaking anything! Color me amazed.
As some other commenters have noted, there is apparently a newer version of thgee De Longhi Dedica with a few differences from the one shown in your teardown. The main one I noticed, aside from was that the ground wires don't seem to be attached to the lid or base anymore. They appear to be grounded somewhere out of sight inside the cassette.
But that presented no problems and your instructions were outstanding. Kudos.
Thanks for sharing your feedback, Jim! Glad to hear that it worked out! Cheers, Tom
so? they should be removed or not?
Thank you very much for this video, Tom! I changed my steam wind without any problem.
Awesome, happy to hear it, Maxim!
This took me all afternoon! But I am unused to such projects... I got there in the end and it looks great and works great too. Thanks for the video :-)
Very nice, Sam. Thanks for your feedback! Enjoy 😉
The instructions are spot on. I did notice on the rancilio wand is more shallow (the portion inside of the machine) than the pannarello wand. Did anybody notice that? The hose seems loosen up if you move the wand a lot. Just wanted to share.
It’s a really good guidelines video. Instead of buying a professional espresso machine, we can upgrade a cheaper one to pro level by ourself!
Glad it was helpful! Enjoy practicing latte art!
for these type of videos...I love UA-cam and all of these brilliant experts🧐 THANKS!
Glad you like them!
This is awesome! Thank you so much for the well-instructed video.
Thanks to your detailed 'entertainment' video @Tom's Coffee Corner, I had no trouble doing this upgrade! It seems on the newer models there are no ground wires to deal with. I noticed that some of the screws in the same location were differing lengths, not sure if this is crucial but I kept track of them anyway. The hose clamps were different from yours, compression type and they came off fairly easily; replaced them with automotive vacuum hose clamps. All in all, a good retro-fit, thanks again!
Hey Vic, thanks very much for your feedback! Good to know that the automotive hose clamps can be used on the newer model. Hope you enjoy your modification. 🙋♂️
How did you Manage to get the plastic nut off the original steaming Wand? I'm completely stuck here. Seems impossible to get off
I did the upgrade. It's awesome now! Thank you!
Glad you like it!
Thank you Tom. It is very helpfull i changed my steam wand. Thank you
It works, thanks for ur detailed guide!
Thanks Tom, just did it following your video and I’m loving it!
Glad you enjoy it! Now it's time to practice latte art!
Том , как всегда, на высоте! Отличная работа, отличное видео ! ❤
Thanks, this was very helpful but some tips for people with tools:
Use the torx bit.
Use lube on the Rancilio wand, and vice grips to hold the nut (gently-ish).
When taking the screws out of the brew group, note which ones are short and which are long - it's not intuitive.
Taking off the hose might be a real bear. I used heat and a lot of force and didn't end up ripping it, but it seemed close.
Do you know of anywhere where the screws are listed where they go? I had to take mine out all the way and don't know of some of them where they go
Such a detailed well put together video, thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it! Have fun!
This was brilliant. Thank you. Worked a treat.
Glad it helped!
can't thank you enough bro!
amazing tutorial.
you're the best.
Thanks for your positive vibes!
This worked so well for my machine! Thank you 🙏🏻
Great to hear!
Hello Tom, my personal opinion you are the best. I like the way you showing technic and motivate us like hobby barista. Thanks for all you teach’d. 😉🙏🏻
You betcha! Thanks for watching, and for your feedback!
Thanks Tom! I used you video just now to mod my Dedica. Man that white nut was tough! That was probably the hardest part for me.
I know, a lot of people have issues with that nut..
Excellent. Saved me loads of time.
thanks Tom for your youtube video... You inspired me to mod my ec680.... man it was a challenge, and the white nut was probably the hardest part of the whole process... But now it is done... I have been making very nice milk and the air entrained is so much better than stock. Again thankyou, and happy to see soo much passion in your videos from expressing a shot to making great milk
Awesome, thanks for your feedback! Tom
Hi, Tom. Great tutorial. I have a Smeg ECF01 machine. It looks very similar to your machine. Your video is so much more detailed and easier to follow than others out there. I'll let you know how I get on when I do the mod.
Hello Peter, thanks for the feedback! 🙋♂️I have seen a video of the Smeg, and the internals look just the same as the Dedica. So I imagine the process will be very much the same.
In fact, other than the more bulbous shape of the housing, the machines look very similar optically as well. 👍🏻
How are you liking that machine by the way?
@@TomsCoffeeCorner I've just done the upgrade. It was a challenge! But your video helped me through. Thanks again. 😀 I now get a great foam on cappuccinos. 😀👍
@@peterpelosi4396 Awesome, Peter! So that means that this mod works for the Smeg too? Good news. 👍
Excellent tutorial. The plastic nut was extremely difficult to install on the new wand. Had to use pliers and dishwashing soap to get it through.
Fitting that plastic piece onto the Rancillo was insane and took some patience! What did the trick was using oil on the tight curves to get the piece over them. Thanks for your great video. I watched a lot of tutorials and thought "No way!" but yours was so detailed and easy to follow that I now own a Delonghi with a Rancillio wand.
Great to hear, Mocky! I found that pushing the plastic nut worked better than twisting. I also read that warming it up, or lubing helps. Thanks for your feedback, and happy coffee ☕️ drinking!
Hi Tom! together with my dad with the help of your movie we did it. I thought he was going to kill me! 🤣🤣 it took 3 hours .. but it worked. Greetings from Poland!
Hello Magda! Thanks for your feedback! This upgrade is a bit challenging, that's right. Glad you managed with the help of your dad, and I hope you enjoy making some cappuccinos with your upgrade! ☕️🤗
Danke - gutes Video und sehr verständlich gemacht. :)
Hello Tom, By your video i replace'd the steam wand (very helpfull video, with all the details need), and now i learn the technic, to make silky, creamy milk foam.
Thanks again. You are the best. 😜👍🏻
Glad it helped, have fun!
I don’t have this machine, but I do really love these kind of DIY’s video (especially from a new creator).
Have my like!
Thank you kindly, Thijmen! I do appreciate the feedback. 🤗
Tom, thank you so much for this video! I work in IT but even I was scared to do this. I did end up messing up the power button a little bit everything else works like a charm! The steamer is great!
I tried the hot water trick to get the rubber nut on the new steamer and that worked great.
Thanks for the feedback, and enjoy! Tom
Great work, wish I could do it myself
Worked perfectly!!!!! thanks
Wow that is not at all how I thought that was going to go. That was a lot of work to swap that out. You are way braver than myself.
Been watching this vid for awhile now and today, it's time for me to upgrade the steam wand to the rancilio. Totally worth the upgrade and it does look good too. Thank you Tom for sharing this video 🙌🏽
You betcha! Have fun doing the mod! Tom
Great tutorial! Thanx a lot for your job
You betcha, Anton! Thanks for your feedback. 👍🏻
Thanks Tom. You successfully helped me change mind wand. 👍🏻
Very nice, thanks for the feedback!
Great and super helpful video!!! Thanks Brother :)
Awesome, glad it helped!
Hey Tom, great video.
It helped me a lot.
TY Very Much
Very welcome! Have fun making lattes!
Just followed and completed!Always wanted to install this mod, but back when I was looking at tutorials couple of years ago, most were either incomplete/non English/or didnt fill me with any confidence... I stumbled upon this video at random as I'm getting back into espresso and decided to buy and Install the rancilio! Very informative and helpful.
So one problem I came across which didnt seem an issue for anyone else was getting the plastic tubing off the nozzles (after removing the clip). To my horror I actually ripped the tubing connecting the steamwand to the cassette (luckily there was still enough tube to use once cutting off the ripped part..). So I suppose very patient with this unlike me..
Also, all of the ground clips were really connected on. Like they had been pinched down... so all were a bit trickier to get off than it was on your machine.
For getting the plastic bit onto the rancilio... I pushed it from behind with some thinker pliers and it went on relatively OK... took me maybe 45 seconds. Could risk damaging I suppose (again my lack of patience), but worked OK for me.
Thanks Tom!
Hi there! Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I am sure it will be helpful for some doing this mod. Cheers! Tom
U helped me a lot:) thanks so much for such detailed video
My pleasure 😊
Thx for this Video Tom. Just did mine today. Now to learn to do the milk properly: P
Awesome Trevor! Thanks for sharing, and have fun! Tom
Very very helpful tutorial. Did it in the first try, hope I didn't broke te ON/OFF switch 😅 thank you so much! ❤
Great job! Enjoy your mod!
All works as described but I would recommend putting the white thingy in hot water before trying to put it on the new steam wand. I was struggling with this one quite a bit.
Very good effort, thanks for the amazing video.
Thanks, for the kind words!
Thanks Tom, I've done the same upgrade, thanks to your video.. big thumb up for U.. very useful tutorial..
Aweseom, Quentin! I am so happy to hear it. Cheers! ☕️
I'm just drinking my first cappuccino right after the upgrade, and oh my god, the difference is visible. Thank you, Tom, for keeping me entertained on this gloomy Saturday morning, you are an absolute legend.
Mine was the same series as yours, as luckily, I still had the double wire spring hoses and didn't have to change anything inside of the machine. One thing maybe to keep in mind that sometimes you need quite a bit of extra force to remove the ground vires, especially in the bottom, which is in a bit of a hidden place, so it's not always that easy as in the video, but it shouldn't keep anybody back from doing the upgrade :))
Thanks for the feedback, and sharing your story! Yes, the ground wires can be a little tricky to dislodge. But just know this: they have little tabs on them that hook into their counterpart. If you pull back on those tabs while pulling on the wire, they come off much easier. Cheers!
My espresso machine has 2 ear hose clamps that really hard to take down. Thank you for the clear instructions!
Thanks for this video 👍
Did this mod at the same time as replacing the OVP valve wonderful upgrade and saved me 300/400 pounds. The biggest problem seems to be getting the old white seating nut off, followed closely by getting it on the Rancillio wand, washing up liquid and rubber glove help loads. BE CAREFUL NOT TO HOLD THE NEW WAND IN SUCH A POSITION IT BENDS IT WHILE APPLYING PRESSURE ON THE WHITE NUT. Thanks again TOM
Awesome, Dude! Thanks for the feedback, and tips!
How did you get the nut off?? I'm stuck here and sever finger pain 😂😂😂 The tube was also really difficult to get off.
In the process of replacing the steam wand and the video is working wonders! The only problem is that on my newer version, the hose is surrounded in a braided cord cover and clips that are much more difficult to remove and impossible to reuse. So we'll have to go out and find replacements for those two clips before we can complete the process, but hopeful so far!
I have heard of various techniques for that braided hose clamp. Please read through the comments for some solutions. Best! Tom
It was seemingly the same for my EC260BK model. The clamps you're talking about are crimped pex style clamp - 3/8" I believe. You'll have to cut them off. You can get clamps in the style of the video at any auto parts store and most hardware stores. Cheaper solution over buying the pex crimp tool and clamps.
Hope this helps for anyone running into this situation.
Great video - Thank you!
You are welcome!
Danke Tom für das tolle Video. Dampflanze installiert. VG
Gern geschehen, und gratulation! Viel Spaß damit! :)
Onced received my dedica 3 days ago, first mod I did. Cheers!
Great to hear! Enjoy!
Awesome! Thank you, I installed to Rancilio steam :)
Glad I could help! Happy coffee drinking!
@@TomsCoffeeCorner I tried this morning and the rancilio does a loud sound when I steam, is it normal?
@@Rayzen7g Just keep it under the milk surface, and away from the metal. 👍🏻
I just did this mod on my EC 865 and the video was very good as a starting point. There are a few things I would add after going through it. #1 the Rancillo wand has a shorter top side so clamping it after putting the tube on there is not much space so not sure if there is a longer Rancillo wand one could buy or just slide the one up higher? #2 Tom is correct the 865 has the one time use clamps so you have to use a flat head screw driver to pry them off. I went and bought a couple of the clamps shown in Tom's video but like I said attaching it to the wand there is not much room. So will see how it holds. #3 Alot of the ground wires now are not attached to the chassis so don't have to worry about that. #4 Just make sure you pay attention on the bottom when you take off the rubber hose that goes to the water tank. there are a couple of filters and a rubber attachment. I didn't pay attention and it took me a few times of taking the bottom off and changing how the filters and rubber attachment go on. Take a picture as Tom says!! Thanks!!!
Thanks for those good insights on the EC685, James Bond! Now, off to your next mission! ;)
Just kidding, I am sure these tips will be helpful...in fact, someone posted right after you did, asking how to get the newer type clamps off. Hope you enjoy your new steam wand!
Tom
Superb …. Thank you
I saved this one as watch later about the time it came out and today, finally.. finally managed to install the wand 😅 damn this was tiresome but well worth the results!
Thanks so much for the guide. 🙌
Awesome! Thanks for the update.
I had missed socketing the little yellow chip with the two holes during reassembly and I gave up on inserting the little metal bracket below the white plastic turning head, but everyting else worked flawlessly as descrbed.
Perfect video!
Glad you think so!
I really appreciate the video! Even tho I couldn't remove the upper part of the machine and gave up 3:20. But thats fine, I’ll try later again
Opened! The location of the latch area was different. 4:21 Actually it is the same model, but maybe the technique has changed. I got a little nervous and closed it back. The new steam will wait for me until I meet a friend who is a coffee master. Thank you for all details!!
Thanks for the instructions. I can't do that :)
Sehr detaillierte Beschreibungen, vielen Dank 👍🏽
Bei mir entsteht zwischen Dampflanzen-Rohr und Düsenaufsatz keine 100%ige Dichte mit der Rancilio Silvia Lanze... problem ist das immer wieder Luft herausgedrückt wird und die Lanze an Power verliert...
Lösung: habe es mit etwas Hanfband und Dichtungspaste abgedichtet, nun ist das Problem Geschichte 😁👍🏼
Servus! Vielen dank für das Feedback, und es ist gut zu wissen, dass das mit dem Hanfband funktioniert. Zum Glück, war bei mir die Metalklemme ausreichend, jedoch musste ich den Schlauch ganz weit runter drücken, über die Gewölbe am oberen Ende der Dampflanze. Schöne Grüße aus Bayern! Tom
Hier zur Referenz: ua-cam.com/video/ztcWy0PIFws/v-deo.html
Thank you for the great video, very detailed and made the install easy. I was one of the lucky ones with the newer DeLonghi with the braided tube and one time use clips. I looked through the comments trying to find the correct clip and ended up buying a few off Amazon. The spring clips I wasn't sold on as they just didn't have the strength I hoped (there are probably better ones if i ordered more) I also ordered a few types of the Single Ear Hose Clamps. One kit had 8.8 - 10.5 mm clips which I tried and they fell off during install so I found a second set of clips with 7.8 - 9.5mm clips (these are a match to what originally was on it, they had 95 stamped on the side). In addition to the clips I bought Knipex ear clamp pliers (there are cheaper options but I liked the front and side jaws, side jaws came in helpful for the clamp attached to the wand). Make sure to clamp the hose to the wand before putting the case back in, even with the side jaws I didn't find enough room. The spring clips would be easier to use but if the hose comes off frequently the clamping power of the single use clips would be the better option imo.
Other things to note: dont worry about the button working until the bottom is screwed on (i had a nervous moment when the button was stuck, attached the bottom with all screws and everything was back to normal)
getting the tube on the wand, watch the short video by Tom, in this video the white plastic piece is pushed right up to the steam wand top bubble (not sure what to call it), there needs to be some room on both sides of the bubble/hump on the wand so the tube can go over it.
bottom star screws I found a 5/32 flat head screw driver works perfect
Hopefully this helps someone, it was a fun upgrade!

Thanks so much for those great tips! I’m sure they’ll help others! Cheers, Tom
My button got stuck even after I put on the bottom lol.
@@selmansenkalp lol of course it did, so much for my advice 🤣 Were you able to get it working? If the machine is on its side button facing down (against the table) is how I was able to get the cartridge on the easiest. The cartridge will have some play but with a little wiggling you hopefully will find the sweet spot then, at least for me, when you flip it to put the bottom on the button goes out of sync until the plate is screwed on.
@@mgrenzic I disassembled the bottom and just left the button in On state, then screwed everything in. That’s how I use it anyway lol.
