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
Put the lter into the empty water tank. Press it until it cannot move

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
