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

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

Remove the drip tray with grill from the packaging.

1

Remove the machine from the packaging.

2

For best use, it is recommended to:

3

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

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

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

Attach the drip tray (external) with grill to the machine. Make sure it is

4

placed correctly.

Note:
The drip tray collects the water that comes out of the dispensing spout
during each rinse/self-cleaning cycle as well as co ee that might be spilled
during beverage preparation. Empty and clean the drip tray daily and each
time the full drip tray indicator is raised.

Caution:
NEVER remove the drip tray when the machine has just been turned
on. Wait a couple of minutes, since the machine will carry out a rinse/
self-cleaning cycle.

ENGLISH

Open the lid and remove the water tank by the handle.

5

Rinse the water tank under fresh water.

6

Fill the tank with fresh water up to the MAX level and re-insert it into

7

the machine. Make sure it is fully inserted.

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

Open the lid of the co ee bean hopper and take out the inner lid.

8

9

9

Slowly pour co ee beans into the hopper. Put the inner lid back and

9

close the lid.

Note:
Do not pour too many co ee beans into the co ee bean hopper as this will
reduce the grinding performance of the machine.

Caution:
Only co ee beans must be put into the co ee bean hopper. Ground
co ee, instant co ee, caramelized co ee or any other object may
damage the machine.

Measuring and programming water hardness

Measuring water hardness is very important for de ning the frequency in
which the machine has to be descaled 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 provided with the machine in

1

water for 1 second.

Note:
The test strip can only be used for one measurement.

Wait for one minute.

“INTENZA+” water  lter installation

We recommend you to install the “INTENZA+” water  lter as this prevents
lime scale to build up in your machine and preserves a more intense aroma
to your espresso co ee.

You can purchase separately the INTENZA+ water  lter. Please refer to the
ordering maintenance products chapter 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.

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  lter according to the measurements performed (see previous

3

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

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
co ee to optimize the extraction of the co ee to the compactness of the
ground co ee.

Adjusting the ceramic co ee grinder

Ceramic co ee grinders always guarantee accurate grinding for every
co ee blend and prevent the beans from overheating.
This 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. Therefore, do not insert  ngers and/or other objects. Turn o the
machine by pressing the ON/OFF button and remove the plug from
the socket before carrying out any type of operation inside the co ee
bean hopper.

You can adjust the ceramic grinders to set the co ee grinding to your
personal taste.

Warning:
The grinder adjustment knob, inside the co ee bean hopper, must be
turned only when the ceramic co ee grinder is working.

This adjustment can be carried out by pressing and turning the grinder
adjustment knob inside the co ee bean hopper.

Open the lid of the co ee bean hopper.

1

ENGLISH

Press and turn the grinder adjustment knob one notch at a time. You

2

will taste the di erence after brewing 2-3 cups of espresso.

The reference marks on the co ee bean hopper lid indicate the grind

3

setting. There are 8 di erent grind settings to choose from:

19

19

- Very coarse grind (

To

- Very  ne grind (

When you adjust the ceramic co ee grinder to a  ner setting, your co ee
will taste stronger. For a milder co ee taste, adjust the ceramic co ee
grinder to a coarser setting.

) : lighter taste, for dark roasted co ee blends

) : bolder taste, for light roasted co ee blends

Adjusting co ee crema and intensity (Saeco Brewing System)

The Saeco Brewing System (SBS) allows you to control the co ee crema
and taste intensity by adjusting the co ee  ow speed during the brewing
cycle.

- By turning the dial knob counter clock wise you increase the  ow
speed resulting in a milder co ee intensity and less crema.

- By turning the dial knob clock wise you reduce the  ow speed resul­ting in a stronger co ee intensity and more crema.

Note:

The co ee  ow speed may be adjusted while brewing.

Adjusting the aroma (co ee strength)

Choose your favorite co ee blend and adjust the amount of co ee to be
grounded until they meet your personal taste. You can also select the pre­ground co ee function.

Note:

Selection must be made prior to selecting co ee.

The machine allows you to adjust the right quantity of ground co ee for
each product. The standard adjustment for each product can be set in the
“BEVERAGE MENU” (see the Beverage Programming chapter, Co ee Quanti­ty option).

To temporarily change the amount of co ee ground, press the “ ”

Adjusting the dispensing spout

The height of the dispensing spout can be adjusted to better  t the
dimensions of the cups that you wish to use.

Move the dispensing spout up or down with your  ngers to adjust its
height as shown in the image.

ENGLISH

The recommended positions are:
For the use of small cups;

For the use of large cups;

For the use of latte macchiato cups.

Note:
The dispensing spout can also be removed to allow the use of very large
containers.

DESCALING

The descaling process takes approx. 35 minutes.

Lime scale builds up inside the machine during use. It needs to be remo­ved regularly as it may clog the water and co ee circuit of your machine.
The machine indicates when descaling is needed.

Caution:
Not doing this will ultimately make your machine stop working pro­perly, and in this case repair is NOT covered by your warranty.

Use the Saeco decalci er only. Its formula has been designed to ensure
better machine performance.
You can purchase separately the Saeco decalci er. Please refer to chapter
“Ordering Maintenance Products” for further information.

Warning:
Never drink the decalci er or any products dispensed until the cycle
has been carried out to the end. Never use vinegar as a decalci er.

Note:
During the descaling cycle do not switch o the machine. If this has happe­ned, you need to restart the descaling cycle from the very beginning.
