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
1
Remove the drip tray with grill from the packaging.
2
Remove the machine from the packaging.
3
For best use, it is recommended to:
• Choose a safe, level surface, where there will be no danger of over-
turning it 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.
4
Attach the drip tray (external) with grill to the machine. Make sure it is
placed correctly.
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 clean 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, since the machine will carry out a rinse/
self-cleaning 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:
1
Immerse the water hardness test strip provided with the machine in
water for 1 second.
Note:
The test strip can only be used for one measurement.
2
Wait for one minute.
16
ENGLISH
3
Check how many squares have changed the colour to red and then
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)
The letters correspond to the references that are located at the base of the
“INTENZA+” water lter (see next chapter for this).

“INTENZA+” water lter installation
We recommend you to install the “INTENZA+” water lter as this prevents
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.
2
Remove the “INTENZA+” water lter from its packaging, immerse it ver-
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
4
Put the lter into the empty water tank. Press it until it cannot move
further down.

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 dange-

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.
- Do not wash any of its parts in the dishwasher.
- Do not use alcohol, solvents, and/or abrasive objects to clean the
machine.
- Do not immerse the machine in water.
- Do not dry the machine and/or its components using a microwave
and/or standard oven.
Empty and clean the co ee ground drawer and (internal) drip tray daily
with the machine turned on. Please follow the steps below:
1
Press the button and open the service door.
2
Remove the (internal) drip tray and co ee grounds drawer.
61
ENGLISH

3
Empty the co ee grounds drawer and wash it with fresh water.
4
Empty and wash the (internal) drip tray and the cover with fresh water.
5
Correctly reinstall all the components.
6
Insert the tray and the co ee grounds drawer and close the service
door.
Note:
If the co ee ground drawer is emptied when the machine is o , the co ee
grounds counter is not reset. In this case the machine might display the
“EMPTY COFFEE GROUNDS DRAWER” message too soon.
Daily cleaning of water tank
1
Remove the small white lter or the “INTENZA+” water lter (if instal-
led) from the water tank and wash it with fresh water.
2
Put the small white lter back or the “INTENZA+” water lter (if instal-
led) in its housing by gently pressing and turning it at the same time.
3
Fill the water tank with fresh water.

ENGLISH
Daily cleaning of the milk carafe: AUTO CLEAN cycle (after each
use)
After each brewing of a milk beverage the machine performs an automatic

the control panel. This can be done at any time.
1
Insert the milk carafe into the machine as described in the milk carafe
chapter. Close the milk dispenser.

DESCALING
The descaling process takes approx. 35 minutes.
Lime scale builds up inside the machine during use. It needs to be remo-
ved regularly as it may clog the water and co ee circuit of your machine.
The machine indicates when descaling is needed.
Caution:
Not doing this will ultimately make your machine stop working pro-
perly, and in this case repair is NOT covered by your warranty.
Use the Saeco decalci er only. Its formula has been designed to ensure
better machine performance.
You can purchase separately the Saeco decalci er. Please refer to chapter
“Ordering Maintenance Products” for further information.
Warning:
Never drink the decalci er 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 happe-
ned, you need to restart the descaling cycle from the very beginning.
To execute the descaling cycle, follow the steps below:
1
In the “SETTINGS MENU”, select the “MAINTENANCE SETTINGS”
option.
2
Select “DESCALING CYCLE” and con rm with “OK” .
Note:
If you press the “OK” button by mistake, press the “ESC” button to quit.
