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 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 cof-
fee 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 danger-
ous. Therefore, do not insert ngers and/ or other objects. Only adjust
the ceramic co ee grinder using the grinder adjustment key. Turn
o the machine by pressing the ON/OFF button and remove the plug
from the socket before carrying out any type of operation inside the
co ee bean hopper.
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 working.
This adjustment can be carried out by pressing and turning the grinder
adjustment knob inside the co ee bean hopper, using the grinder adjust-
ment key provided with the machine.

2 The reference marks inside the co ee bean hopper indicate the grind
setting. There are 5 di erent grind settings to choose from:
1 - Coarse grind: lighter taste, for dark roasted co ee blends
to
2 - Fine grind: bolder taste, for light roasted co ee blends
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.
Adjusting the aroma (co ee strength)
Choose your favorite co ee blend and adjust the amount of co ee to be
grounded until they meet your personal taste. You can also select the pre-
ground co ee function.
