INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE POWER
SUPPLY CORD
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
over.

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 over-
turning the appliance 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 gure.
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 co ee dispensing
spout during each rinse/self-cleaning cycle, as well as any co ee that
might be spilled during beverage brewing. 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.

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 user 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.

ENGLISH
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 raw, caramelized and avoured co ee beans.
The machine automatically adjusts itself after brewing several cups of cof-
fee to optimize co ee 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 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.

Monthly Cleaning of the Brew Group with “Co ee Oil Remover”
Besides weekly cleaning, we recommend performing a cleaning cycle
with “Co ee Oil Remover” after approximately 500 cups of co ee or once
a month. This operation completes the maintenance process for the brew
group.
You can purchase the “Co ee Oil Remover” separately. For further details,
please refer to the maintenance products page in this user manual.
Caution:
The “Co ee Oil Remover” tablets are to be used for cleaning only and
do not have a descaling function. For the descaling procedure use the
Saeco descaling solution and follow the procedure described in the
“Descaling” chapter.
1 Place a container under the co ee dispensing spout.

Warning:
Use the Saeco descaling solution only. Its formula has been designed
to ensure better machine performance. The use of other products may
damage the machine and leave residues in the water.
The Saeco descaling solution can be purchased separately. For further
details, please refer to the maintenance products page in this manual.
Warning:
Never drink the descaling solution or any products dispensed until the
