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 machine from the packaging.
2 For best use, it is recommended to:
• Choose a safe, level surface, where there will be no danger of over-
turning the machine or being injured.
• Choose a location that is su ciently well-lit, clean and near an eas-
ily reachable socket.
• Allow for a minimum distance from the sides of the machine as
shown in the illustration.
3 Remove the water tank lid.
4 Lift the water tank using the handle.

8 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, avored co ee or any other object may damage
the machine.
9 Put the lid back on the co ee bean hopper.

Measuring and Programming Water Hardness
Water hardness measuring is very important in order to de ne the descal-
ing frequency and to install the “INTENZA+” water lter (for more detail on
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.

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.

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 avored co ee beans.
The machine automatically adjusts itself after brewing several cups of cof-
fee to optimize the extraction of the 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 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 grinder to set the co ee grinding to your
personal taste.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Daily cleaning of the machine
Caution:
Timely cleaning and maintenance of your machine is very important
as it prolongs the life of your machine. Your machine is continuously
exposed to moisture, co ee and limescale!
The activities you need to perform and their frequency are described
in detail in this chapter. Not doing this will ultimately make your
machine stop working properly. This repair is NOT covered by your
warranty!
Note:
- Use a soft, dampened cloth to clean the machine.
- Only the cup holder grill and the parts of the carafe, indicated in the
“Weekly Cleaning of the Milk Carafe” section, can be washed in the
dishwasher. All other components must be washed with lukewarm
water.
- Do not immerse the machine in water.
- Do not use alcohol, solvents, and/or abrasive objects to clean the
machine.
- Do not dry the machine and/or its components using a microwave
and/or standard oven.

Caution:
Not doing this will ultimately make your machine stop working prop-
erly, and in this case repair is NOT covered by your warranty.
