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

your co ee.
The “INTENZA+” water lter can be purchased separately. For further de-
tails, please refer to the maintenance products page in this manual.
Water is a crucial part of every espresso/co ee, so it’s 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.

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 except for avored co ee 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 and perfect grinding
and coarseness for every co ee speciality.
This provides for full aroma preservation, delivering a truly Italian taste in
every cup.
Warning:
The ceramic co ee grinder contains moving parts that may be danger-
ous. Do not insert ngers or other objects. Only adjust the ceramic
co ee grinder using the grinder adjustment key.
The grinder can be set to adjust the grinding to your personal 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 is continuously
exposed to moisture, co ee and limescale!
The activities you need to perform and their frequency are described
in detail in this chapter. 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.
- Only the cup holder grill and the Classic Milk Frother can be washed in
the dishwasher. All other components must be washed with 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.

Also empty the drip tray when the full drip tray indicator is raised.
Daily Cleaning of the Classic Milk Frother
It is important that you clean the Classic Milk Frother daily or after each use
as it preserves hygiene and ensures perfect milk froth consistency.
After frothing the milk, a small quantity of hot water must be dispensed
into a container.
Remove the external part of the Classic Milk Frother and wash it with
lukewarm water.

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
the CALC CLEAN icon, it means that you need to descale it.
Caution:
Not doing this will ultimately make your machine stop working prop-
erly, and in this case repair is NOT covered by your warranty.
Yellow
Always use the specially formulated descaling solution, since it has been
designed to optimize machine performance.
The descaling solution can be purchased separately. For further details,
please refer to the maintenance products page in this manual.
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 descaling
solution.
Note:
During the descaling cycle do not switch o the machine. If the machine
has been switched o , it will continue the descaling cycle from the point at
