Do not immerse machine in water. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,
do not disassemble the machine. There are no parts inside the machine
serviceable by the user. Repair should be done by authorized service personnel
only.
1. Check voltage to be sure that the voltage indicated on the nameplate
corresponds with your voltage.
2. Never use warm or hot water to fill the water tank. Use cold water only.
3. Keep your hands and the cord away from hot parts of the appliance during
operation.
4. Never clean with scrubbing powders or harsh cleaners. Simply use a soft

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE POWER
SUPPLY CORD
A. A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be
provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
B. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available
and may used if care is exercised in their use.
C. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance
2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped
over.

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 details on
the water lter, see next chapter).
To measure 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.

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

"INTENZA+" WATER FILTER
We recommend you to install the “INTENZA+” water lter as this prevents
limescale build-up in your machine and preserves a more intense aroma of
your co ee.
The “INTENZA+” water lter can be purchased separately. For further details, please refer to the maintenance products page in this user manual.
Water is a crucial part of every co ee, so it is very important to always have
it professionally ltered. Using the “INTENZA+” water lter will prevent
mineral deposits from building up and improve your water quality.
“INTENZA+” Water Filter Installation
Remove the small white lter from the water tank and store it in a dry
1
place.
Remove the “INTENZA+” water lter from its packaging, immerse it ver-
2
tically (with the opening positioned upwards) in cold water and gently
press the sides so as to let the air bubbles out.
Set the “INTENZA+” water lter according to the measurements per-
3
formed (see previous chapter) and indicated on the base of the lter:
A = soft water – equals 1 or 2 on the test strip
B = hard water (standard) – equals 3 on the test strip
C = very hard water – equals 4 on the test strip

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, except for raw, caramelized and avoured co ee beans.
The machine automatically adjusts itself after brewing several cups of coffee to optimize co ee extraction.
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 full aroma preservation, delivering a truly tasty
co ee in every cup.
ESPRESSO
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.
You can adjust the ceramic grinders to set co ee grinding to your personal
taste.
Warning:
You can only adjust the co ee grinder settings when the machine is
grinding co ee beans.
Check that the lever is set to “ESPRESSO”.
