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 illustration.

4 Insert the drip tray (external) with grill into the machine. Make sure it is

correctly placed.

Note:

The drip tray collects the water that comes out of the dispensing spout

during each rinse/self-cleaning cycle, as well as 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.

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 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.

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 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 technology 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. 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 section “Removing

the Co ee Bean Hopper”.

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.

33

ENGLISH

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

position 1 for coarse grind - lighter taste to position 2 for  ne grind -

bolder taste.

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)

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 “COFFEE PROFILES” (see the “Beverage Programming” chapter,

“STRENGTH” option).

1 To temporarily change the quantity of ground co ee, press the

“ ”

button on the control panel.

Note:

Selection must be made prior to selecting co ee.

DESCALING

The descaling process takes approx. 35 minutes.

Limescale builds up inside the machine during use. It needs to be removed

regularly as it may clog the water and co ee circuit. The machine tells you

when descaling is needed. If the machine display shows this icon, it means

that you need to descale.

Caution:

Not doing this will ultimately make your machine stop working prop-

erly, and in this case repair is NOT covered by your warranty.

Always use the specially formulated descaling solution, since it has been

designed to optimize machine performance.

The 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

cycle has been carried out to the end. Never use vinegar as a descaling

solution.

Note:

During the descaling cycle do not switch o the machine. Otherwise you

will need to restart the descaling cycle from the very beginning.

To execute the descaling cycle, follow the steps below:
