AQUACLEAN WATER FILTER
The AquaClean lter is designed to reduce limescale build-up inside the
machine and to provide ltered water in order to preserve the co ee
aroma and avour in each cup. By using the series of 8 AquaClean lters as
indicated in this user manual, you will not need to descale the machine for
2 years or for the next 5000 cups (with 100-ml capacity).
Note:
Replace the AquaClean lter when the lter icon on the display starts
ashing. Replace the AquaClean lter at least each 3 months, even if the
machine is yet to inform you that it needs to be replaced.
After the machine has been used for a given time, it will require the lter to
be replaced. This will allow you to replace the lter 8 times (equal to about
5000* beverages!) before having to descale the machine.
(*) Using 100-ml cups.

Adjusting the Ceramic Co ee Grinder
Ceramic co ee grinders guarantee accurate grinding for every co ee blend
and prevent the beans from overheating.
This provides full aroma preservation, delivering a truly Italian taste in
every cup.

The ceramic co ee grinder contains moving parts that may be danger-
ous. Do not insert ngers or any other objects. Turn o the machine by
pressing the ON/OFF button and remove the plug from the socket be-
fore carrying out any type of operation inside the co ee bean hopper.
You can adjust the ceramic grinders to set co ee grinding to your personal
taste.

ADJUSTMENTS
The machine allows for certain adjustments so that you can brew the best
tasting co ee possible.
Gaggia Adapting System
Co ee is a natural product whose characteristics may change according to
its origin, blend and roast. The machine is equipped with a self-adjusting
system allowing you to use all types of co ee beans available on the mar-
ket (except for caramelized beans).
The machine automatically adjusts itself after brewing several cups of
co ee in order to optimise extraction in relation to the compactness of
ground co ee.

When you adjust the ceramic co ee grinder to a ner setting, your co ee
will taste stronger. For a lighter co ee taste, adjust the ceramic co ee
grinder to a coarser setting.
