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.

1

Remove the small white  lter from the water tank and store it in a dry

place.

tically (with the opening positioned upwards) in cold water and gently
press the sides so as to let the air bubbles out.

3

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

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.

1

Open the lid of the co ee bean hopper.

20

ENGLISH

2

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.

3

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 (

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

To

- Very  ne grind (

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

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.

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).

Machine actions Causes Solutions

The machine does not
switch on.

The machine is not connected to
the electric network.

Connect the machine to the electric
network.

The power button is set to “0”. Check that the power button is set to

“I”.

The drip tray gets  lled
although no water is
drained.

Sometimes water is drained auto­matically by the machine into the
drip tray to manage the rinsing of
the circuits and ensure optimum
machine performance.

This is seen as normal machine beha­vior.

Co ee is not hot enough. The cups are cold. Preheat the cups with hot water or use

the hot water dispenser.

Beverage temperature in the pro­gramming menu is set to low.

Ensure that the temperature is set to
Normal or High in the beverage pro­gramming menu.

Cold milk is being added to the
co ee.

Cold milk will reduce the temperature
of the end product. Therefore please
pre-heat the milk before adding it.

No hot water is dispensed. The hot water dispenser is clogged

or dirty.

Clean the hot water dispenser (please
refer to chapter “Cleaning and Mainte­nance”).
Check if it is clogged by looking into
the dispensing spout. Use a pin or
needle to make a hole through the
limestone.

The machine is not  lling
the cup.

The machine has not been pro­grammed.

Enter the beverage programming
menu and adjust the co ee length set­ting to your liking for every beverage.

Co ee has not enough
crema (see note).

The blend is unsuitable, co ee is
not freshly roasted or the grind is
too coarse.

Change co ee blend or adjust the
grind as explained in chapter “Adju­sting the Ceramic Co ee Grinder”.

The co ee beans or the pre­ground co ee are too old.

Ensure that fresh co ee beans or pre­ground co ee are being used.

ground under or on the
brew group.

The co ee you are using may not
be suitable for automatic machi­nes.

It may be necessary to change the type
of co ee or the co ee grinder settings
(please refer to chapter “Adjusting the
Ceramic Co ee Grinder”).

The machine is adjusting the
grinder due to new co ee beans or
pre-ground co ee.

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.
It may take up to 2-3 products until the
grinder is adjusted.
This is not a failure of your machine.

The machine produces
co ee grounds that are
either too wet or too dry.

The grinder needs to be adjusted. By adjusting the ceramic co ee grinder,

the quality of the puck can be adjusted.
When the pucks are too wet, make the
grind coarser.
