ADJUSTMENTS
The machine that you have bought allows
for certain adjustments that will permit
you to use it to its full potential.
Gaggia Adapting System
Coffee is a natural product and its char-
acteristics may change according to its
origin, blend and roast.The Gaggia coee
machine is equipped with a self-adjusting
system that allows the use of all types of
coee beans available on the market (non
caramelized).
• The machine automatically adjusts
itself in order to optimise the extrac-
tion of the coffee, ensuring perfect
compression of the tablet to obtain a
creamyespressocoeethatwill release
allthe aromas,regardlessof thetype of
coee used.
• The optimisation process is a learning
process that requires the brewing of a
certain number of coees to allow the
machine to adjust the compactness of
the ground coee.
• Attention should be given to special
blends, which require grinder ad-
justments in order to optimise the
extraction ofthecoee (seethe“Coee
Grinder Adjustment”section).
Coee Grinder Adjustment
Warning! The grinder adjust-
ment knob, inside the coee
bean hopper, must be turned only
when the grinder is working. Do not
pour ground and/or instant coffee
into the coee bean hopper.
Do not insert any material
other than coee beans into
the hopper. The grinder contains
movingparts thatmaybedangerous.
Therefore, do not insert ngers and/
or other objects. The grind setting
mayonly beadjustedusingtheknob.
Turn o the machine and unplug it
from the socket before carrying out
any type of operation inside the cof-
fee bean hopper. Do not pour coee
beans when the coffee grinder is
working.
“INTENZA” water filter (op-
tional)
To improve the quality of the used water,
it is advisable to install the water lter.
Remove the water lter from its packag-
ing, immerse it vertically (with the open-
ing positioned upwards) in cold water
and delicately press the sides so as to let
the air bubbles out.
Remove the small white filter from the
tank and store it in a dry place sheltered
from dust.
Set the Intenza Aroma System as speci-
ed on the box.
A = Soft water
B = Medium water (standard)
C = Hard water
Put the water lter into the empty tank.
Press it until its limit stop.
Fill the tank with fresh drinking water and
reinsert it into the machine.
Dispense the water in the tank by using
the hot water function (see the“Hot wa-
ter dispensing”section).
Fill the water tank again. The machine is
now ready to be used.
Note: If there is no Intenza
water lter, insert the small
white lter previously removed into
the water tank.

At this point the button “ “ is pro-
grammed; each time it is pressed and
released, the machine will brew the
same amount of coee that was just pro-
grammed.
The same operation can be repeated for
the “ “ button. If the “ “ or “ “
button is pressed twice to brew coffee,
the machine will brew double the stored
quantity.
Standby
The machine is designed for energy sav-
ing.The machine automatically turns o
after 60 minutes of inactivity.
The“ “ button blinks when the machine
is in stand-by mode.
Note: During the turning o
phase,themachineperforms
a rinse cycle, if a coee product has
been brewed.
Warning:When turning the machine
on after it has been turned com-
pletely off, the machine will be in
stand-by mode
To turn the machine on again simply press
the STAND-BY button (if the power but-
ton is set to“I”). In this case the machine
will go through the rinse cycle only if the
boiler is cold.
Dispensing Spout Adjust-
ment
Most cups on the market can be used
with this coee machine.
The height of the dispensing spout may
be adjusted to better t the dimensions
of the cups that you wish to use.
Manually move the dispensing spout up
or down to adjust its height by placing
your ngers as shown in the gure.
The recommended positions are:
For use with small cups;
The machine allows slight adjustments to
the coee grinder to adapt it to the kind
of coee used.
To make any adjustment, press and turn
the knob inside the coee bean hopper.
Press and turn the knob by one notch at
a time and brew 2-3 cups of coffee; this
is the only way to notice differences in
grind.
The reference marks inside the coffee
bean hopper indicate the grind setting.
There are 5 different grind settings to
choose from with the following refer-
ences:
Large Mark - Coarse Grind
Small Mark - Fine Grind.
Adjusting the Coee Length
The machine allows you to adjust the
amount of brewed coffee according to
your taste and/or the size of your cups.
Each time the“ “ or“ “ buttons are
pressed and released, the machine brews
a pre-set amount of coffee, as per fac-
tory settings. This amount may be repro-
grammed to your taste. Each button may
be individually programmed for a specic
brew setting.
As an example, the following procedure
describes the programming of the button
““, which is normally associated with
espresso coee.
• Placeacupunderthe dispensingspout.
• Hold the “ “ button pressed for 5
seconds to enter the programming
mode; the“ “ icon will blink quickly
and the coee will start to be brewed;
the icon will flash during the whole
coee brewing cycle.
• Press the“ “ button again when the
