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

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 and the carafe 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 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 gure.
4 Insert the drip tray (external) with grill all the way into the machine.
Make sure that it is correctly placed; a "CLICK" will con rm that it is
locked into place.
Note:
The drip tray collects the water that comes out of the 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.

5 Lift the left outer lid.
7 Rinse the water tank with fresh water.
8 Fill the water tank with fresh drinking water up to the MAX level and
put it back into the machine. Make sure it is fully inserted.
Caution:
Never ll the water tank with warm, hot, sparkling water or any other
liquid, as this may cause damage to the water tank and the machine.
9 Remove the co ee bean hopper lid. Slowly pour in the co ee beans.
Note:
The co ee bean hopper contains a tray that vibrates during grinding and
conveys the beans into the co ee grinder.
Caution:
Only co ee beans must be put into the co ee bean hopper. Ground
co ee, instant co ee, caramelized co ee or any other object may
damage the machine.
10 Put the lid back on the co ee bean hopper.
6 Remove the water tank by using the handle incorporated on the inner
lid.

Measuring and Programming Water Hardness
Water hardness measuring is very important in order to de ne the machine
descaling frequency and to install the “INTENZA+” water lter (for more
details 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.
3 Check how many squares have changed to red, then consult this table.
Note:
The numbers on the water hardness test strip correspond to the water
hardness adjustment settings.
More precisely:
1 = 1 (very soft water)
2 = 2 (soft water)
3 = 3 (hard water)
4 = 4 (very hard water)
The letters correspond to the references that are located at the base of the
“INTENZA+” water lter (see next chapter).

“INTENZA+” Water Filter Installation
We recommend that you install the “INTENZA+” water lter as this prevents
limescale build-up in your machine and preserves a more intense aroma of
your co ee.
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 “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.
2 Set the “INTENZA+” water lter according to the measurements per-
formed (see previous chapter) and indicated on the base of the lter:
A = soft water – equals 1 or 2 on the test strip
B = hard water (standard) – equals 3 on the test strip
C = very hard water – equals 4 on the test strip

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 co ee extraction.
Adjusting the Ceramic Co ee Grinder
Ceramic co ee grinders always guarantee an accurate and perfect grinding
and a speci c coarseness for every co ee speciality.
This technology provides full aroma preservation, delivering the truly Ital-
ian 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.
1 Remove the co ee bean hopper as shown in the “Removing the Co ee
Bean Hopper” section.
2 Press and turn the grinder adjustment knob under 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.
Warning:
Do not turn the co ee grinder more than one notch at the time to
prevent damage.

3 The reference marks in the co ee bean hopper compartment indicate
the grind setting. There are 5 di erent grind settings to choose from,
from position 1 for coarse grind - lighter taste to position 2 for ne
grind - stronger taste.
When you adjust the ceramic co ee grinder to a ner setting, your co ee
will taste stronger. For a lighter co ee taste, adjust the ceramic co ee
grinder to a coarser setting.
Adjusting the Aroma (Co ee Strength)
The machine allows you to adjust the right quantity of ground co ee for
each product. The standard adjustment for each product can be set in the
“EDIT PROFILES” (see the “Beverage Programming” chapter, “STRENGTH”
option).

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. The machine is continuously
exposed to humidity, 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 ma-
chine stop working properly. This repair is NOT covered by warranty!
Note:
- Use a soft, dampened cloth to clean the machine.
- Only the cup holder grill, the internal drip tray, the co ee grounds
drawer and any parts of the carafe described in the "Weekly Cleaning
of the Milk Carafe" section can be washed in the dishwasher. Any 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.
Empty and clean the co ee grounds drawer and the drip tray (internal)
every day with the machine turned on. Please follow the steps below:
1 Press the button in the frame and open the service door.
2 Remove the drip tray (internal) and co ee grounds drawer.
