The machine that you have bought allows
for certain adjustments that will permit
you to use it to its full potential.
Saeco Adapting System
Coffee is a natural product and its char-
acteristics may change according to its
origin, blend and roast. The Saeco co ee
machine is equipped with a self-adjusting
system that allows the use of all types of
co ee beans available on the market (non
caramelised).
• The machine automatically adjusts
itself in order to optimise the extrac-
tion of the coffee, ensuring perfect
compression of the tablet to obtain a
creamy espresso co ee that will release
all the aromas, regardless of the type of
co ee used.
• The optimisation process is a learning
process that requires the brewing of a
certain number of co ees to allow the
machine to adjust the compactness of
the ground co ee.
• Attention should be given to special
blends, which require grinder adjust-
ments in order to optimise the extrac-
tion of the co ee - (see section Co ee
Grinder Adjustment).
Coff ee Grinder Adjustment
Warning! The grinder adjust-
ment knob, inside the co ee
bean hopper, must be turned only
when the grinder is working. Do not
pour ground and/or instant coffee
into the co ee bean hopper.
Do not insert any material
other than co ee beans into
the hopper. The grinder contains
moving parts that may be dangerous.
Therefore, do not insert ngers and/
or other objects. The grind setting
may only be adjusted using the knob.
Turn o the machine and unplug it
from the socket before carrying out
any type of operation inside the cof-
fee bean hopper. Do not pour co ee
beans when the coffee grinder is
working.
The machine allows slight adjustments to
the co ee grinder to adapt it to the kind
of co ee used.
To make any adjustment, press and turn
the knob inside the co ee bean hopper.
Press and turn the knob by one notch at
a time and brew 2-3 cups of coffee; this
is the only way to notice differences in
grind.
The reference marks inside the coffee
bean hopper indicate the grind setting.
There are 5 different grind settings to
choose from with the following refer-
ences:
Large Mark - Coarse Grind
Small Mark - Fine Grind.
Adjusting the Coff ee Length
The machine allows you to adjust the
amount of brewed coffee according to
your taste and/or the size of your cups.
Each time the “
” or “ ” button is
pressed and released, the machine brews
a pre-set amount of co ee. This amount
may be reprogrammed to your taste. Each
button may be individually programmed
for a speci c brew setting.
As an example, the following procedure
describes the programming of the “
”
button, which is normally associated with
espresso co ee.
• Place a cup under the dispensing
spout.
