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.

For best use, it is recommended to:
• Choose a safe, level surface, where there is no danger of overturn-
ing the machine or being injured.
• Choose a location that is su ciently well-lit, clean and near an eas-
ily reachable socket;
• Allow for a minimum distance from the sides of the machine as
shown in the illustration.
4
Insert the drip tray with grill into the machine. Make sure it is fully
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/self-
cleaning cycle.

USING THE MACHINE FOR THE FIRST TIME
When using the machine for the rst time, the following activities need to
happen:
1) You need to prime the circuit;
2) The machine will perform an automatic rinse/ self-cleaning cycle;
3) You need to initiate a manual rinse cycle.
Circuit priming
During this process fresh water ows through the internal circuit of the
machine and the machine warms up. This takes a few minutes.

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 (supplied with the machine) in
water for 1 second.
Note:
The test strip can only be used for one measurement.
2
Wait for one minute.

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.

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 cof-
fee 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 danger-
ous. 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.
1
Remove the co ee bean hopper as shown in the section “Removing
the co ee bean hopper”.
27
ENGLISH

2
Press and turn the grinder adjustment knob under the co ee bean
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 dam-
age.

2
Adjusting the aroma (co ee strength)
Choose your favourite co ee blend and adjust the amount of co ee to be
ground until they meet your personal taste. You can also select the pre-
ground co ee function.
Note:
Selection must be made prior to selecting co ee.
Five choices are possible by pressing the “
” button.
Each time the “
” button is pressed, the aroma changes by one degree,
according to the selected amount:
GreenGreen
= extra mild aroma
= mild aroma
= medium aroma
= strong aroma
= extra strong aroma
= pre-ground co ee
3
The reference marks in the compartment for the co ee bean hopper
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.
When you adjust the ceramic co ee grinder to a ner setting, your co ee
will taste stronger. For a milder co ee taste, adjust the ceramic co ee
grinder to a coarser setting.
28
ENGLISH
Adjusting the co ee dispensing spout
The height of the dispensing spout can be adjusted to better t the dimen-
sions of the cups that you wish to use.
Move the dispensing spout up or down with your ngers to adjust its
height as shown in the image.
The recommended positions are:
For the use of small cups.
For the use of large cups.
Two cups can be placed under the dispensing spout to brew two co ees at
the same time.
For the use of glasses for the Latte Macchiato.

MILK FROTHING/CAPPUCCINO BREWING
Warning:
Danger of scalding! Dispensing may be preceded by small jets of hot
water. The Automatic Milk Frother may reach high temperatures.
Never touch it with bare hands. Use the appropriate protective handle

Use cold (~5°C / 41°F) milk with a protein content of at least 3% to ensure
optimum results when preparing a cappuccino. You can use whole milk or
low-fat milk depending on your personal taste.
Note:
When you plan to froth milk right after switching on the machine or after
brewing a co ee, some water still present in the circuit may need to be
dispensed rst.
For this press the “

- 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.

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.
Caution:
Not doing this will ultimately make your machine stop working prop-
erly, 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 hap-
pened you have to restart the descaling cycle to fully complete it. It will
restart from the point the descaling cycle had previously been left.
To perform the descaling cycle, follow the steps below:
Before descaling:
1
Empty the drip tray.
2
Remove the Automatic Milk Frother from the steam/hot water wand.
