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
overturning the machine 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
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.

Fill the water tank with fresh water up to the MAX level and reinsert it
into the machine. Make sure it is fully inserted.
Caution:
Never ll the water tank with warm, hot, sparkling water or any other
liquid, as this may cause damage to the water tank and the machine.
8
Remove the co ee bean hopper lid and slowly pour the co ee beans
into the co ee bean hopper.
Note:
do not pour too many co ee beans into the co ee bean hopper as this will
reduce the grinding performance of the machine.
Caution:
Only co ee beans must be put into the co ee bean hopper. Ground
co ee, instant co ee, caramelized co ee or any other object may
damage the machine.
9
Put the lid on the co ee bean hopper.

The “ ” button blinks on the control panel. Press the " " button to
turn on the machine.
13
The “ ” “ ” lights and the “ ” button light start to blink slowly to
indicate that the water circuit needs to be primed.
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.

Insert a container under the Classic Milk Frother.
13
ENGLISH
2
Press the “ ” button to start the cycle. The machine starts the
automatic priming of the circuit by dispensing some water through the
Classic Milk Frother.
3
When the process is complete, the“ ” and “ ” buttons will blink.
The machine is in the warm-up mode.
Automatic Rinse/Self-Cleaning Cycle
When warm-up is completed, the machine automatically performs a rinse/
self-cleaning cycle of the internal circuits with fresh water. This takes less
than a minute.
4
Place a container under the dispensing spout to catch the small
amount of dispensed water.
5
The " " and " " buttons blink during the entire process.
6
Wait for the cycle to nish automatically.

Note:
If the machine has not been used for at least two weeks, it will
automatically perform an automatic rinse/self-cleaning cycle. Following
this, you need to initiate a manual rinse cycle as described above.
The automatic rinse/self-cleaning cycle also starts automatically when
the machine has been in stand-by mode or turned o for more than 15
minutes.
At the end of the cycle, it is possible to brew a co ee.
15
ENGLISH
“INTENZA+” WATER FILTER INSTALLATION
We recommend installing the “INTENZA+” water lter as this prevents
limescale build-ups and preserves a more intense aroma to your espresso
co ee.
The INTENZA+ water lter can be purchased separately. For further details,
please refer to the maintenance products page in this user manual.
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
vertically (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 water hardness in your area. The settings
can be found on the lter packaging.
A = Soft water
B = Hard water (standard)
C = Very hard water
4
Insert the lter into the empty water tank. Press it down until it cannot
move any further.
16
ENGLISH
5
Fill the water tank with fresh water and reinsert it into the machine.
Write down the date of the next water lter replacement (+ 2 months).
6
Dispense all the water of the tank by using the hot water function (see
the “Hot Water Dispensing” chapter).
7
Fill the water tank again.
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 (not for caramelized beans).
The machine automatically adjusts itself after brewing several cups
of co ee to optimise the extraction of the co ee in relation 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 technology 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
dangerous. Do not insert ngers 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.
Warning:
the grinder adjustment knob inside the co ee bean hopper, must be
turned only when the ceramic co ee grinder is in use.
17
ENGLISH
This adjustment can be carried out by pressing and turning the grinder
adjustment knob inside the co ee bean hopper, using the appropriate key
provided with the machine.
1
Press and turn the grinder adjustment knob one notch at a time. You
will taste the di erence after brewing 2-3 cups of co ee.
2
The reference marks inside the co ee bean hopper indicate the grind
setting. There are 5 di erent grind settings to choose from position 1
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.
1
2
Adjusting the Aroma (Co ee Strength)
Choose your favourite co ee blend and adjust the amount of co ee to be
ground according to your personal taste.
Note:
Selection must be made prior to selecting co ee.
It is possible to choose from three types of aroma by turning the knob. The
aroma will vary depending on the chosen position:
= mild aroma
= medium aroma
= strong aroma
18
ENGLISH
Adjusting the Dispensing Spout
The height of the dispensing spout can be adjusted to better t the
dimensions of the espresso 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.
19
ENGLISH
Adjusting the Co ee Length
The machine allows the amount of brewed espresso co ee to be adjusted
according to taste and cup size.
Each time the “
” or “ ” button is pressed, the machine brews a pre-
set amount of co ee. Each button may be individually programmed for a
speci c brew setting.
The following procedure describes the programming of the “
” button.
1
Place a cup under the dispensing spout.
2
Press and hold the “ ” button. The " " button and the " "
light blink during this phase. Release the button: the machine is now in

button.
Now the “
” button is programmed; each time it is pressed, the
machine will brew the same amount of espresso that was just pre-set.
Note:
To program the “
” brew button, the same steps should be followed.
Press the “
” button to stop brewing when the desired amount of co ee
is reached.
