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.

Remove the machine from the packaging.

For best use, it is recommended to:

• 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

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

Lift the left outer lid and remove the inner lid.

Remove the water tank by the handle.

Rinse the water tank under fresh water.

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

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.

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

close the lid.

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.

ENGLISH

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

Insert the plug on the other end of the power cord into a wall socket

with suitable power voltage.

Switch the power button to “I” to turn on 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

water for 1 second.

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

Wait for one minute.

Machine water hardness setting

Check how many squares have changed the colour to red and then

consult 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)

“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

place.

Remove the “INTENZA+” water  lter from its packaging, immerse it ver-

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

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 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.

ENGLISH

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

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

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

- Very coarse grind (

- 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.

ENGLISH

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.

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.

Two cups can be placed under the dispensing spout to brew two cups of co ee at the same time.
