Machine Water Hardness Setting

Measuring and Programming Water Hardness

Water hardness measuring is very important in order to de ne the descal­ing frequency and to install the “INTENZA+” water  lter (for more detail on
the water  lter, see next chapter).

To measure the water hardness follow the steps below:

Immerse the water hardness test strip (supplied with the machine) in

1

water for 1 second.

Note:

The test strip can only be used for one single measurement.

Wait for one minute.

3

refer to the table.

Note:
The numbers on the water hardness test strip correspond to the water
hardness adjustment settings.

More precisely:
1 = 1 (very soft water)
2 = 2 (soft water)
3 = 3 (hard water)
4 = 4 (very hard water)

The letters correspond to the references that are located at the base of the
“INTENZA+” water  lter (see next chapter).

limescale build-ups and preserves a more intense aroma to your espresso
co ee.

The INTENZA+ water  lter can be purchased separately. Please refer to the
maintenance product page in this user manual for further details.
Water is a crucial part of every espresso, so it’s most important to always
have it professionally  ltered. Using the “INTENZA+” water  lter will prevent
mineral deposits from building up and improve your water quality.

ADJUSTMENTS

The machine allows for certain adjustments so that you can brew the best
tasting co ee possible.

Saeco Adapting System

Co ee is a natural product and its characteristics may change according to
its origin, blend and roast. The machine is equipped with a self-adjusting
system that allows the use of all types of co ee beans available on the
market (not for caramelized beans).
The machine automatically adjusts itself after brewing several cups of cof­fee to optimise the extraction of the co ee in relation to the compactness
of the ground co ee.

Adjusting the Ceramic Co ee Grinder

Ceramic co ee grinders always guarantee accurate and perfect grinding
and coarseness for every co ee speciality.
This technology provides for full aroma preservation, delivering the truly
Italian taste in every cup.

Warning:
The ceramic co ee grinder contains moving parts that may be danger­ous. Do not insert  ngers or other objects. Only adjust the ceramic
co ee grinder using the grinder adjustment key.
