INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE POWER
SUPPLY CORD
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
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped

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.

For best use, it is recommended to:
3
• Choose a safe, level surface, where there is no danger of overturning the machine 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.
Insert the drip tray with grill into the machine. Make sure it is fully
4
inserted.
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 wash 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 for the machine to carry out a rinse/selfcleaning cycle.

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 (supplied with the machine) in
1
water for 1 second.
Note:
The test strip can only be used for one measurement.
Wait for one minute.
2
Check how many squares have changed the colour to red and then
3
C
B
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
limescale to build up in your machine and preserves a more intense aroma
to your co ee.
You can purchase separately the “INTENZA+” water lter. Please refer to the
maintenance products page in this user manual for further details.
Water is a crucial part of every co ee, 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.
Page 21
ENGLISH
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 “INTENZA+” water lter according to the measurements per-
3
formed (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
possible co ee tasting.
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 apart from caramelized and avored co ee beans.
The machine automatically adjusts itself after brewing several cups of coffee to optimize the extraction of the co ee .
Adjusting the Ceramic Co ee Grinder
Ceramic co ee grinders always guarantee accurate and perfect grinding
and coarseness for every co ee specialty.
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. Only adjust
the ceramic co ee grinder using the grinder adjustment key.
You can adjust the ceramic grinders to set the co ee grinding to your
personal taste.
Remove the co ee bean hopper as shown in the section “Removing
1
the co ee bean hopper”.
Page 29
ENGLISH
Press and turn the grinder adjustment knob under the co ee bean
2
hopper one notch at a time. Use the co ee grinder adjustment key
provided with the machine. You will taste the di erence after brewing
2-3 cups of co ee.
Warning:
Do not turn the grinder more than 1 notch at the time to prevent damage.
The reference marks in the compartment for the co ee bean hopper
3
indicate the grind setting. There are 5 di erent grind settings to choose
from position1 for coarse grind - lighter taste to position 2 for ne
grind - bolder taste.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Daily Cleaning of the Machine
Caution:
Timely cleaning and maintenance of your machine is very important
as it prolongs the life of your machine. Your machine gets exposed to
moist, co ee and lime scale continuously!
In this chapter it is described in detail which activities you need to
perform at which frequency. Not doing this will ultimately make your
machine stop working properly. This repair is NOT covered by your
warranty.
Note:
- Use a soft, dampened cloth to clean the machine.
- You may only wash the cup holder grill in the washing machine; the
other parts need to be washed in lukewarm water.
- Do not immerse the machine in water.
- Do not use alcohol, solvents, and/or abrasive objects to clean the
machine.
- Do not dry the machine and/or its components using a microwave
and/or standard oven.
Empty and clean the co ee grounds drawer daily with the machine

DESCALING
The descaling process takes approx. 35 minutes.
Limescale 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 tells you when descaling is needed. If the machine display shows
Yellow
the CALC CLEAN icon, it means that you need to descale.
Caution:
Not doing this will ultimately make your machine stop working properly, and in this case repairing is NOT covered by your warranty.
Use the Descaling solution only. Its formula has been designed to ensure
better machine performance.
You can purchase separately the Descaling solution. Please refer to the
maintenance products page in this user manual for further details.
Warning:
Never drink the descaling solution 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 have to restart the descaling cycle to fully complete it. It will
