PREPARING FOR USE

Machine Packaging

The original packaging has been designed and constructed to protect the machine during transport. We recommend keeping the packaging material for possible future transport.

Machine Installation

1 Remove the machine from the packaging.

2 For best use, it is recommended to:

• Choose a safe, level surface where there will be no danger of overturning the machine or being injured.

• Choose a location that is sufficiently well-lit, clean and near an easily reachable socket.

• Allow for a minimum distance from the sides of the machine as shown in the figure.

3 Open the water tank lid.

4 Remove the water tank by using the handle.

ENGLISH 11

Rinse the water tank with fresh water.

Fill the water tank with fresh water up to the MAX level and reinsert it into the machine. Make sure it is fully inserted.

Caution:

Never fill the water tank with warm, hot, sparkling water or any other liquid, as this may cause damage to the water tank and the machine.

Lift the coffee bean hopper lid.

Slowly pour the coffee beans into the coffee bean hopper.

Note:

Do not pour too many coffee beans into the coffee bean hopper as this will reduce the grinding performance of the machine.

Caution:

Only coffee beans must be put into the coffee bean hopper. If ground coffee, instant coffee, caramelized coffee, raw coffee beans or any other substance is put in the coffee bean hopper, it may damage the machine.

Put the lid back on the coffee bean hopper.

Insert the plug into the socket located on the back of the machine.

Insert the plug at the other end of the power cord into a wall socket with suitable power voltage.

12 ENGLISH

12 Switch the power button to "I". The "" button flashes.

13 Press the “” button to turn on the machine.

14 The control panel indicates that the circuit must be primed. Yellow

MEASURING AND PROGRAMMING WATER HARDNESS

Water hardness measuring is very important in order to define the descaling frequency and to install the “INTENZA+” water filter (for more details on the water filter, see next chapter).

To measure water hardness, follow the steps below:

Immerse the water hardness test strip (supplied with the machine) in water for 1 second.

Note:

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

Wait for one minute.

Check how many squares have changed colour to red and then 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 filter (see next chapter).

<![if ! IE]>

<![endif]>Yellow

Press the “ ” button and scroll through the options by pressing the “ ” button until this icon is displayed.

Press the “” button to access the function.

Note:

The machine is supplied with a standard water hardness setting, suitable for most types of water.

ENGLISH 19

"INTENZA+" WATER FILTER

We recommend you to install the “INTENZA+” water filter as this prevents limescale build-up in your machine and preserves a more intense aroma of your coffee.

The “INTENZA+” water filter 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 coffee, so it is very important to always have it professionally filtered. Using the “INTENZA+” water filter will prevent mineral deposits from building up and improve your water quality.

“INTENZA+”Water Filter Installation

Remove the small white filter from the water tank and store it in a dry place.

Remove the “INTENZA+” water filter from its packaging, immerse it vertically (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 filter according to the measurements performed (see previous chapter) and indicated on the base of the filter: 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

ADJUSTMENTS

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

CoffeeSwitch - “ESPRESSO” or “COFFEE” Selection Lever

Thanks to the innovative CoffeeSwitch technology, the machine allows you to brew two types of coffee, changing the brewing pressure at the flip of a lever.

You can increase the pressure for a perfect espresso or decrease it for a delicate classic coffee.

Before brewing beverages as described below, the lever must be rotated to the correct position.

24 ENGLISH

Saeco Adapting System

Coffee 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 coffee beans available on the market, except for raw, caramelized and flavoured coffee beans.

The machine automatically adjusts itself after brewing several cups of coffee to optimize coffee extraction.

Adjusting the Ceramic Coffee Grinder

Ceramic coffee grinders always guarantee accurate and perfect grinding and coarseness for every coffee speciality.

This technology provides full aroma preservation, delivering a truly tasty coffee in every cup.

Warning:

The ceramic coffee grinder contains moving parts that may be dangerous. Do not insert fingers or other objects. Only adjust the ceramic coffee grinder using the grinder adjustment key.

You can adjust the ceramic grinders to set coffee grinding to your personal taste.

Warning:

You can only adjust the coffee grinder settings when the machine is grinding coffee beans.

ESPRESSO	1 Check that the lever is set to “ESPRESSO”.
