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

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
1Remove the drip tray with grill from the packaging.
2Remove the machine from the packaging.
3For best use, it is recommended to:
• Choose a safe, level surface, where there will be no danger of over-
turning it or being injured.
• Choose a location that is suciently well-lit, clean and near an
easily reachable socket.
• Allow for a minimum distance from the sides of the machine as
shown in the illustration.
4Attach the drip tray with grill to the machine. Make sure it is fully inser-
ted.
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 preparation. Empty and clean 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, since the machine will carry out a rinse/
self-cleaning cycle.

9 ENGLISH 9 ENGLISH
5Remove the water tank.
6Rinse the water tank under fresh water.
7Fill the water tank with fresh water up to the MAX level and reinsert it
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.
8Remove the coee bean hopper lid and 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, caramelized coee or any other object may
damage the machine.
9Put the lid on the coee bean hopper.
10 Insert the plug into the socket located on the back of the machine.
11 Insert the plug of the other end of the power cord into a wall socket
with suitable power voltage.

4Then the display shows the machine warm-up icon.
Automatic rinse/self- cleaning cycle
When warm-up is complete, the machine automatically performs a rinse/
self-cleaning cycle of the internal circuit with fresh water. This takes less
than a minute.
5Place a container under the dispensing spout to catch the small
amount of water which will be dispensed.
6The machine shows this display. Wait for the cycle to nish automati-
cally.
Note:
You can stop dispensing by pressing the“ ” button.

Note:
When you haven’t used the machine for 2 or more weeks, the machine
will automatically perform an automatic rinse/self-cleaning cycle after
you switch it on. Thereafter you need to initiate the manual rinse cycle as
described above.
The automatic rinse/self-cleaning cycle is also initiated automatically when
starting up the machine (with cold boiler), when the machine is preparing
to go into stand-by mode or after you have pressed the “ ” button (after a
coee has been brewed).

Measuring and programming water hardness
Measuring water hardness is very important for dening the frequency in
which the machine has to be descaled 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:
1Immerse the water hardness test strip (supplied with the machine) in
water for 1 second.
Note:
The test strip can only be used for one measurement.
2Wait for one minute.

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 for this).

“INTENZA+” water lter installation
We recommend you to install the“INTENZA+” water lter as this prevents
lime scale to build up in your machine and preserves a more intense aroma
to your espresso coee.
You can purchase separately the INTENZA+ water lter. Please refer to the
maintenance products page in this user manual for further details.
Water is a crucial part of every espresso, so it’s most important to always
have it professionally ltered. Using the“INTENZA+” water lter will prevent
mineral deposits from building up and improve your water quality.
1Remove the small white lter from the water tank and store it in a dry
place.
2Remove 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.
3Set the lter according to the measurements performed (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

16 ENGLISH
4Put the lter into the empty water tank. Press it until it cannot move
further down.
5Fill the water tank with fresh water and reinsert it into the machine.
6Dispense the entire water tank by using the hot water function (see
chapter “Hot water dispensing”).
7Fill the water tank again.
8Press the “ ” button and scroll the pages by pressing the “ ”

Replacing the “INTENZA+” water lter
When the “INTENZA+”water lter needs to be replaced with a new one, the
following icon is displayed.

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 (not for caramelized beans).
The machine automatically adjusts itself after brewing several cups of
coee to optimize the extraction of the coee to the compactness of the
ground coee.
Adjusting the ceramic coee grinder
Ceramic coee grinders always guarantee accurate grinding for every
coee blend and prevent the beans from overheating.
This 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 dange-
rous. Therefore, do not insert ngers and/or other objects. Only adjust
the ceramic coee grinder using the grinder adjustment key. Turn
o the machine by pressing the ON/OFF button and remove the plug
from the socket before carrying out any type of operation inside the
coee bean hopper.
You can adjust the ceramic grinders to set the coee grinding to your
personal taste.
Warning:
The grinder adjustment knob, inside the coee bean hopper, must be
turned only when the ceramic coee grinder is working.
This adjustment can be carried out by pressing and turning the grin-
der adjustment knob inside the coee bean hopper, using the grinder
adjustment key provided with the machine.
