5 ADJUSTMENTS
The machine that you have bought allows for certain
adjustments that will permit you to use it to its full
potential.
5.1 Saeco Adapting System
Coffee is a natural product and its characteristics may
change according to its origin, blend and roast. The
Saeco coffee machine is equipped with a self-adjusting
system that allows the use of all types of coffee beans
available on the market (not including flavored or
carmelized).
• The machine automatically adjusts itself in order to
optimize the extraction of the coffee, ensuring perfect
compression of the beans to obtain a creamy espresso
coffee that will release all the aromas, regardless of
the type of coffee used.
• The optimization process is a learning process that
requires the brewing of a certain number of coffees
to allow the machine to adjust the compactness of the
ground coffee.
• Attention should be given to special blends, which
require grinder adjustments in order to optimize the
extraction of the coffee (see section 5.2).
Page 13

ADJUSTMENTS - COFFEE BREWING
5.2 Coffee Grinder Adjustment
Warning! The grinder adjustment knob, inside
the coffee bean hopper, must be turned only
when the grinder is working. Do not pour ground and/
or instant coffee into the coffee bean hopper.
Do not insert any material other than coffee
beans into the hopper. The grinder contains
moving parts that may be dangerous. Therefore, do
not insert fi ngers and/or other objects. Turn off the
machine by pressing the ON/OFF button and remove
the plug from the socket before carrying out any
type of operation inside the coffee bean hopper.
Do not pour coffee beans when the coffee grinder
is working.
The machine lets you make slight adjustments to the
coffee grinder to adapt it to the kind of coffee used.
To make any adjustment, use the pin inside the coffee
bean hopper; this must be pressed and turned using
only the grinder adjustment key provided.
(Fig. 27) - Press and turn the pin one notch at a time.
You must brew 2-3 coffees before you will taste a
difference.
(Fig. 28) - The reference marks inside the coffee bean
hopper indicate the grind setting; there are 5 different
grind settings to choose from with the following
references:
1 - Coarse Grind
2 - Fine Grind
5.3 Adjusting the Amount of Coffee Brewed
The machine allows you to adjust the amount of brewed
coffee according to your tastes and/or the size of your
cups.
Each time you press and release a coffee button, the
machine brews a pre-programmed amount of coffee.
This amount may be reprogrammed to your taste. Each
button may be individually programmed for a specifi c
brew setting.
As an example, the following procedure describes the
programming of the small coffee button (14), which is
normally associated with espresso coffee.
• (Fig. 10A) - Place a cup beneath the dispensing
head.
• (Fig. 12) - Press and hold down the small coffee
button; the large coffee button blinks during this
phase.
• (Fig. 12) - Release the small coffee button when
the amount of coffee in the cup reaches the desired
level.
At this point the small coffee button is programmed;
each time it is pressed and released, the machine
will brew the same amount of coffee that was just
programmed.
5.4 Stand-By
The machine is designed for energy saving.
After 60 minutes of inactivity, the machines turns off
automatically.
To turn the machine on again, simply press the ON/OFF
button (16); in this case the machine will go through the
rinse cycle only if the boiler is cold.
5.5 Large Cups
Most cups on the market can be used with this coffee
machine.
If you would like to use an exceptionally large cup,
remove the grill (6).
Make sure that the drip tray (8) is clean and
empty before removing the grill and position-
ing the cup (see section 9).
(Fig. 11) - Remove the grill (6) and place the cup in the
special support.
Replace the grill (6) when fi nished.
6 COFFEE BREWING
Note: Should the machine not brew coffee,
make sure that the water tank (9) contains
water.
Before brewing coffee, make sure that the
green temperature light (19) is steady on and
that the water tank and the coffee hopper are full.
Keep the control dial (17) in the " " position,
during the coffee brewing cycle.
• (Fig. 10 - Fig. 11) - Place 1 or 2 cups under the
dispensing spout (5).
• (Fig. 12) - To brew coffee, press and release:
the small coffee button for an espresso coffee;
the large coffee button for a long coffee.

DISPENSING HOT WATER - PREPARING A CAPPUCCINO
• To dispense 1 cup of coffee, press the button once. To
dispense 2 cups of coffee, press the button twice.
In this operating mode, the machine automati-
cally grinds and doses the correct amount of
coffee. Brewing two coffees requires two grinding
cycles and two brewing cycles, which the machine
carries out automatically.
• After the prebrewing cycle, coffee begins to dispense
out of the dispensing spout (5).
• Coffee brewing stops automatically when the pre-
programmed level is reached; however, it is possible
to interrupt coffee brewing by pressing the button
initially pressed.
The machine is adjusted to brew a true Italian
espresso coffee. This feature may slightly
lengthen the brewing time, allowing the intense fl avor
of the coffee to develop fully.
7 DISPENSING HOT WATER
Warning: Dispensing may be preceded by
short sprays of hot water, and scalding is
possible. The hot water/steam wand may reach high
temperatures. Do not touch it with bare hands; use
the appropriate handle only.
• Before dispensing hot water, make sure that the
green temperature light (19) is on.
When the machine is ready, proceed as follows:
• (Fig. 7) - Place a container under the hot water/steam
wand (Pannarello for Plus version) (10).
• (Fig. 9) - Turn the control dial (17) clockwise to set it
to the "
" position.
• Fill the cup with hot water to the level desired; to stop
hot water dispensing, turn control dial (17) counterclockwise back to the "
" position. The machine
returns to the normal operating mode.
Occasionally, after turning the control dial
(17) hot water may not be dispensed and the
temperature light (19) may blink slowly. To obtain a
fl ow of hot water, simply wait until the temperature
light (19) stops blinking and remains steady.
8 STEAM DISPENSING / CAPPUCCINO
Steam may be used to froth milk for a cappuccino, as
well as to reheat other beverages.
Warning: Dispensing may be preceded by
short sprays of hot water, and scalding is
possible. The hot water/steam wand may reach high
temperatures. Do not touch it with bare hands; use
the appropriate handle only.
• (Fig. 7) - Place a container under the hot water/steam
wand (10) (Pannarello).
• (Fig. 13) - When the machine is ready to brew coffee,
turn the control dial (17) counter-clockwise to set it to
the "
" position; residual water may come out of the

• The temperature light (19) blinks during the preheating
time required by the machine.
• Steam dispensing will begin when the green
temperature light (19) remains steady.
• Turn the control dial (17) clockwise and set it back to
the "
" position to stop dispensing steam.
• Fill 1/3 the cup with cold milk.
Use cold milk for better results when preparing a cappuccino.
• (Fig. 14) - Immerse the steam wand (Pannarello for
Plus version) in the milk to be heated and turn the
control dial (17) counter-clockwise to set it to the "
" position. Froth the milk by gently swirling the cup
and moving it up and down.
• After dispensing steam for the desired time, turn the
control dial (17) clockwise and set it back to the "
"
position to stop dispensing steam.
• The same procedure can be used to heat other
beverages.
After using the steam wand (Pannarello for Plus
version), wash it as described in the "Cleaning and
Maintenance" section.
• Prime the machine as described in section 4.4.
If the control dial is left on the central posi-
tion, the machine, in order to save energy,
