Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a Saeco full-automatic coffee machine! To fully benefit from the
support that Saeco offers, please register your product at www.saeco.com/care.

Read the separate safety booklet carefully before you use the machine for the first time and save it for
future reference.

To help you get the best out of your coffee machine, Saeco offers full support in 3 different ways:

1 The separate quick start guide for first installation and first use.
2 This user manual for more detailed information.
3 Online support and movies: scan the QR code on the front page or visit www.saeco.com/care

Note: This machine has been tested with coffee. Although it has been carefully cleaned, there may be
some coffee residues left. We guarantee, however, that the machine is absolutely new.

First installation

To prepare your coffee machine for use, you need to perform a few simple steps such as filling the
water circuit and activating the AquaClean filter. These steps are shown in the separate quick start
guide.

For the best-tasting coffee, you need to brew 5 coffees initially to allow the machine to complete its
self-adjustment.

The machine has been set up to get the best taste out of your coffee beans. Therefore we advise you
not to adjust the grinder settings until you have brewed 100-150 cups (approx. 1 month of usage).

AquaClean filter

The AquaClean filter is designed to reduce limescale deposits in your coffee machine and provide
filtered water to preserve the aroma and flavor of each cup of coffee. If you use a series of 8
AquaClean filters as indicated by the machine and in this user manual, you don't have to descale your
machine for up to 5000 cups. With each filter you can enjoy up to 625 cups, depending on the
selected coffee varieties and the rinsing and cleaning frequencies.

Preparing the AquaClean filter for activation

Before you place the AquaClean filter in the water tank, you need to prepare it for use:
1 Shake the filter for about 5 seconds (Fig. 2).

2 Immerse the filter upside down in a jug with cold water and wait until no more air bubbles come

out (Fig. 3).

3 Push the filter onto the filter connection to the lowest possible point (Fig. 4).

Activating the AquaClean filter

You need to activate every new AquaClean filter that you use. By activating the AquaClean filter, the
machine monitors the capacity of the AquaClean filter and the number of filters used. There are 3
ways to activate the AquaClean filter.

7

English

1. Activating the AquaClean filter during first installation

After switching on for the first time, the machine guides you through the first installation steps such as
filling the water tank, filling the water circuit and activating the AquaClean filter. Simply follow the
instructions on the screen.

2. Activating the AquaClean filter when prompted

Replace the AquaClean filter when the screen shows the message 'Replace AquaClean filter?'. Then
follow the instructions on the screen to activate the filter properly.

3. Activating the AquaClean filter at any other time

You can start (re)using the AquaClean filter at any time by following the instructions below.
1 Tap the Settings

icon and use the up and down icons to select 'AquaClean' (Fig. 5).

2 Tap the OK icon. When the activation screen appears, tap the OK icon again.
3 Follow the instructions on the screen.

Note: In some situations the machine will tell you that you need to descale the machine before you
can install and activate a new AquaClean filter. This is because your machine has to be completely
limescale-free before you start to use the AquaClean filter. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Measuring water hardness

During first installation, you have to set the water hardness. Follow the steps on the screen and use
the water hardness test strip supplied. To set the water hardness later, tap the Settings icon and
select 'water hardness'.

1 Immerse the water hardness test strip in tap water for 1 second. Then wait for 1 minute.
2 Check how many squares have turned red.
3 Select the appropriate water hardness setting and tap the OK icon to confirm.

Number of red squares:

Value to be set 1 2 3 4

Descaling procedure

Please use Philips descaler only. Under no circumstances should you use a descaler based on sulfuric
acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfamic or acetic acid (vinegar) as this may damage the water circuit in your
machine and not dissolve the limescale properly. Not using the Philips descaler will void your
warranty. Failure to descale the appliance will also void your warranty. You can buy Philips descaling
solution in the online shop at www.saeco.com/care.

1 When the machine asks you to descale it, press the start/stop

button to start. To start descaling

without being prompted by the machine, tap the Clean icon and select 'Descale'.

2 Remove the drip tray and the coffee grounds container, empty them and put them back into place.
3 Remove the water tank and empty it. Then remove the AquaClean filter.
4 Pour the whole bottle of Philips descaler in the water tank and then fill it with water up to the CALC

CLEAN level. Then place it back into the machine.

5 Place a large container (1.5 l) under the coffee dispensing spout.
6 Place the milk spout on the milk spout holder.
7 Follow the instructions on the screen to start the descaling procedure. The descaling procedure

lasts approx. 30 minutes and consists of a descaling cycle and a rinsing cycle.

8 Once the descaling cycle is finished, you need to rinse the water tank and water circuit. Follow the

instructions on the screen.

9 Place a new AquaClean filter in the water tank.

Tip: Using the AquaClean filter reduces the need for descaling!

What to do if the descaling procedure is interrupted

You can exit the descaling procedure by pressing the on/off button on the control panel. If the
descaling procedure is interrupted before it is completely finished, do the following:

1 Empty and rinse the water tank thoroughly.
2 Fill the water tank with fresh water up to the CALC CLEAN level indication and switch the machine

back on. The machine will heat up and perform an automatic rinsing cycle.

3 Before brewing any beverages, perform a manual rinsing cycle. To perform a manual rinsing cycle,

first dispense half a water tank of hot water and then brew 2 cups of pre-ground coffee without
adding ground coffee.

Note: If the descaling procedure was not completed, the machine will require another descaling
procedure as soon as possible.

15

English

you are unable to solve the problem, contact the Consumer Care Center in your country. For contact
details, see the warranty leaflet.

Problem

Cause Solution

The drip tray fills up
quickly.

This is normal. The machine
uses water to rinse the internal
circuit and brew group. Some
water flows through the internal
system directly into the drip
tray.

Empty the drip tray when the 'drip tray
full' indicator pops up through the drip
tray cover (Fig. 24). Place a cup under
the dispensing spout to collect rinsing
water.

The machine is in DEMO
mode.

You pressed the standby
button for more than 8
seconds.

Switch the machine off and then on
again with the main switch on the back
of the machine.

The 'coffee grounds
container full' icon
remains displayed.

You emptied the coffee
grounds container while the
machine was switched off.

Always empty the coffee grounds
container while the machine is switched
on. If you empty the coffee grounds
container when the machine is switched
off, the coffee cycle counter is not reset.

You placed back the coffee
grounds container too fast.

Do not place back the coffee grounds
container until the screen prompts you
to put it back.

I cannot remove the
brew group.

The brew group is not in the
correct position.

Reset the machine in the following way:
place back the drip tray and the coffee
grounds container. Then close the
service door and switch the machine off
and back on again. Try again to remove
the brew group.

You have not removed the

coffee grounds container.

Remove the coffee grounds container
before you remove the brew group.

I cannot insert the brew
group.

The brew group is not in the
correct position.

Reset the machine in the following way:
place back the drip tray and the coffee
grounds container. Leave the brew
group out. Close the service door and
switch the machine on and off. Then put
the brew group in the correct position
(see 'Reinserting the brew group') and
reinsert it into in the machine.

The machine is still in the
descaling procedure.

You cannot remove the brew group
when the descaling procedure is in
progress. First complete the descaling
procedure and then remove the brew
group.

The coffee is watery. The grinder is set to a too

coarse setting.

Set the grinder to a finer (lower) setting.

The coffee exit duct is clogged. Clean the coffee exit duct with the

spoon handle. Then switch the machine
off and on again.

16

English

Problem Cause Solution

The machine is performing its

self-adjustment procedure.

Brew a few cups of coffee.

The brew group is dirty or

needs to be lubricated.

Clean and lubricate the brew group.

The coffee is not hot
enough.

The cups you use are cold. Preheat the cups by rinsing them with

hot water.

The temperature is set too low.

Check the menu settings.

Set the temperature to 'high' in the
menu.

You added milk. Whether the milk you add is warm or

cold, it always decreases the
temperature of the coffee to some
extent.

Coffee does not come
out or coffee comes out
slowly.

The AquaClean filter was not
prepared properly for
installation or it is clogged.

Remove the AquaClean filter and try to
brew a coffee again. If this works, make
sure the AquaClean filter is prepared
properly before you place it back. Place
back the prepared filter. If this still does
not work, the filter is clogged and needs
to be replaced.

The grinder is set to a too fine
setting.

Set the grinder to a coarser (higher)
setting.

The brew group is dirty. Clean the brew group.

The coffee dispensing spout is

dirty.

Clean the coffee dispensing spout and
its holes with a needle.

The machine circuit is blocked
by limescale.

Descale the machine.

The milk does not froth. The internal cappuccinatore is

dirty or not inserted correctly.

Clean the internal cappuccinatore and
make sure that you position and insert it
correctly.

The type of milk used is not

suitable for frothing.

Different types of milk result in different
amounts of froth and different froth
qualities. We have tested the following
milk types which proved to deliver a
good milk froth result: semi-skimmed or
full-fat cow's milk, soy milk and lactose­free milk.

The milk is splashing. The milk you use is not cold

enough.

Make sure you use cold milk coming
directly from the fridge.

The machine seems to
be leaking.

The machine uses water to
rinse the internal circuit and
brew group. Some water flows
through the internal system
directly into the drip tray.

Empty the drip tray when the 'drip tray
full' indicator pops up through the drip
tray cover (Fig. 24). Place a cup under
the dispensing spout to collect rinsing
water.

Problem Cause Solution

The drip tray is too full and has
overflowed which makes it look
like the machine is leaking.

Empty the drip tray when the 'drip tray
full' indicator pops up through the drip
tray cover (Fig. 24). Place a cup under
the dispensing spout to collect rinsing
water.

The machine is not placed on a

horizontal surface.

Place the machine on a horizontal
surface so that the 'drip tray full'
indicator works properly.

I cannot activate the
AquaClean filter and the
machine asks for
descaling.

The filter has not been replaced
in time after the AquaClean
filter icon flashed and the
capacity dropped to 0%.

Descale your machine first and then
install the AquaClean filter.

You did not install the

AquaClean filter during first
installation, but after having
brewed approx. 25 coffees
(based on 100ml cups). The
machine has to be completely
limescale-free before you
install the AquaClean filter.

First descale the machine and then
install a new AquaClean filter. After
descaling, the filter counter is reset to
0/8. Always confirm filter activation in
the machine menu. Also do this after
filter replacement.

The new water filter does
not fit.

You are trying to install another
filter than the AquaClean filter.

Only the AquaClean filter fits into the
machine.

The machine is making a
noise.

It is normal that your machine
makes noise during use.

If the machine starts to make a different
kind of noise, clean the brew group and
lubricate it (see 'Lubricating the brew
group').
