A. A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be
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

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 single measurement.
2 Wait for one minute.

“INTENZA+” Water Filter Installation
We recommend you to install the “INTENZA+” water lter as this prevents
limescale build-up in your machine and preserves a more intense aroma of
your co ee.
The “INTENZA+” water lter can be purchased separately. For further de-
tails, please refer to the maintenance products page in this manual.
Water is a crucial part of every co ee, so it is very 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 ver-
tically (with the opening positioned upwards) in cold water and gently
press the sides so as to let the air bubbles out.

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 except for caramelized and avoured co ee beans.
The machine automatically adjusts itself after brewing several cups of cof-
fee to optimize the extraction.
Adjusting the Ceramic Co ee Grinder
Ceramic co ee grinders always guarantee accurate and perfect grinding
and coarseness for every co ee speciality.
This provides for full aroma preservation, delivering a truly Italian taste in
every cup.
Warning:
The ceramic co ee grinder contains moving parts that may be danger-
ous. 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:
Only turn the grinder adjustment knob inside the co ee bean hopper
when the ceramic co ee grinder is in use.
22
ENGLISH
1 Press and turn the grinder adjustment knob below 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.
12
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 - milder taste to position 2 for ne grind - stronger
taste.
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. 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:
= extra mild aroma
= mild aroma
= medium aroma
= strong aroma
= extra strong aroma
= pre-ground co ee
GreenGreen

Adjusting the Co ee Dispensing Spout
The height of the dispensing spout can be adjusted to better t the
dimensions 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 also be placed under the dispensing spout to brew two cups
of espresso or co ee at the same time.
24
ENGLISH
Adjusting the Co ee Length
The machine allows you to adjust the amount of brewed co ee according
to your taste and the size of your cups.
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 how to programme the “ ” button.
1 Place a cup under the dispensing spout.
Green
2 Press and hold the “ ” button until the “MEMO” icon appears on the
display, then release the button. The machine is now programming.
The machine starts brewing co ee.
3 Press the “ ” button as soon as the desired amount of co ee is
reached.
Now the “ ” button is programmed; each time it is pressed, the machine
will brew the same amount of espresso that was just programmed.
Note:
To program the “ ” button, the same steps should be followed.
You should always use the “ ” button to stop brewing co ee when the
desired amount of co ee is reached even when you are programming the
“” button.

5 To brew 2 cups of espresso or co ee, press the desired button twice
consecutively. This icon will be displayed.
Note:
In this operating mode, the machine automatically grinds and doses the
correct amount of co ee. Brewing two espressos or two co ee requires
two grinding and brewing cycles, automatically carried out by the ma-
chine.
6 After the prebrewing cycle, co ee begins to pour out of the dispensing
spout.
7 Co ee brewing automatically stops when the pre-programmed level is
reached; press the “ ” button to stop it earlier.

ENGLISH
Espresso and Co ee Brewing Using Pre-Ground Co ee
This function allows you to use pre-ground co ee.
With the pre-ground co ee function you can only brew one co ee at a
time.
1 Press the “ ” button to select the pre-ground co ee function.
Green
2 Lift the pre-ground co ee compartment lid and add one scoop of pre-
ground co ee to the compartment.
Use only the measuring scoop supplied with the machine. Then close
the pre-ground co ee compartment lid.
Warning:
Add only pre-ground co ee to the pre-ground co ee compartment.
Other substances and objects may cause severe damage to the ma-
chine. Such damage will not be covered by warranty.
3 Press the “ ” button for an espresso or the “ ” button for a co ee.
The brewing cycle starts.
4 After the prebrewing cycle, co ee begins to pour out of the dispensing
spout.
5 Co ee brewing automatically stops when the preset level is reached;
press the “ ” button to stop it earlier.
After brewing, the machine returns to the main menu.
Repeat the steps described above to brew more co ees using pre-ground
co ee.
Note:
If no pre-ground co ee is poured into the pre-ground co ee compart-
ment, only water will be dispensed.
If the dose is excessive or 2 or more scoops of pre-ground co ee are used,
the machine will not brew the product and any ground co ee will be
discharged into the co ee grounds drawer.
