INSTALLATION

STARTING THE MACHINE

Make sure the power button is not pressed and the machine is turned off. Check the machine features on the label on the bottom of the appliance.

1 2 3

Remove the coffee bean hopper lid. Fill the hopper with coffee beans.

Fill the tank with fresh drinking water. Do not exceed the “max” level indicated on the water tank. Once ﬁ lled, place the tank back into the machine.

Close the lid pushing it down completely.

Insert the plug into the socket located on the back of the machine and insert the other end into a power outlet with suitable current.

When the correct temperature is reached, the machine performs a priming of the water circuit and a rinse cycle of the internal circuits. A small quantity of water is dispensed. Wait for this cycle to be completed automatically. (See page 22 to enable/disable the rinse function.)

Remove the water tank. Install the water ﬁ lter as recommended on page 7.

Place a container beneath the hot hot water / steam wand.

Press the main power button to the “ON” position.

Machine water hardness setting

Check the water hardness value and set:

INTENZA WATER FILTER

To improve the quality of the water you use, and extend the life of your machine at the same time, it is recommended that you install the water ﬁ lter. After installation, select the water ﬁ lter function under the machine settings menu (see page 22). By setting the water ﬁ lter status to ON, the machine informs the user when the ﬁ lter must be replaced.

Remove the water ﬁ lter from its packaging, immerse it vertically (with the opening facing upwards) in cold water and gently press its sides so as to let the air bubbles out.

Remove the small white ﬁ lter from the tank and store it in a dry place sheltered from dust.

Fill the tank with fresh drinking water and re-insert it into the machine.

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 ﬂ avored 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 is able to 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 page 11).
