ADJUSTMENTS
The machine that you have bought allows
for certain adjustments that will permit
you to use it to its full potential.
Saeco Adapting System
Coffee is a natural product and its cha-
racteristics may change according to its
origin, blend and roast. The Saeco 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
creamy espresso coeethat willrelease
all the aromas, regardless of the type 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 spe-
cial blends, which require grinder
adjustments in order to optimise the
extraction of the coee (see the“Coee
Grinder Adjustment”section).
Coffee Grinder Adjustment
Warning! The grinder
adjustment knob, inside the
coee bean hopper, must be turned
only when the grinder is working. Do
notpour ground and/orinstant coee
into the coee bean hopper.
Do not insert any material
other than coee beans into
the hopper. The grinder contains
moving parts that may be dangerous.
Therefore, do not insert ngers and/
or other objects. The grind setting
may only be adjusted using the knob.
Turn o the machine and unplug it
from the socket before carrying out
any type of operation inside the
coffee bean hopper. Do not pour
coee beans when the coee 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 filter from its packa-
ging, immerse it vertically (with the ope-
ning 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.

COFFEE BREWING
Note: Should the machine not
brew coee, make sure that
the water tank contains water.
Before brewing coee, check
the lights on the display and
on the control panel. Check that
the water tank and the coee bean
hopper are full.
Leave the selector on the
coee position “”during the
dispensing phase.
Before brewing the coffee,
adjust the height of the di-
spensing spout according to your
needs, and select the aroma or the
pre-ground coee.
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

The reference marks inside the coffee
bean hopper indicate the grind setting.
There are 5 dierent grind settings to cho-
ose from with the following references:
Large Mark - Coarse Grind
Small Mark - Fine Grind.
Adjusting the Coffee 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 coee, as per factory
settings. This amount may be reprogram-
med to your taste. Each button may be
individually programmed for a specific

Remarks on Descaling
The previous section explains the correct
operations to perform to descale the
machine.
The machine you have purchased is equip-
ped with advanced software to check the
quantity of used water in order to provide
reliable information about the right time
to carry out descaling operations.
This software has been programmed for
standard water hardness.
In case of especially hard water (high
calcium content), descaling cycles might
have to be carried out more frequently,
even if the machine does not display war-
ning signals.
Even if the machine is not used often (e.g.
1 coffee per day), it is recommended to
perform descaling cycles more frequen-
tly.
In these specific cases, it is recommended
to perform descaling cycles every 1-2
months, even if the machine does not
signal it.
22 Hold the “ “ button pressed for
6 seconds to reset the machine and
cancel the descaling alarm signal.
The light“ ”turns o.
The descaling cycle is complete. Then, the
products can be brewed.
If the machine is switched o
during the descaling cycle,
next time the machine is switched
on the cycle must be repeated from
the beginning.
The descaling solution must
be disposed of according
to the manufacturer’s instructions
and/or regulations in force in the
country of use.
After completing the desca-
ling cycle, wash the brew
group as described in the “Brew
Group” section in the “Cleaning and
maintenance” section.
Reassemble the external part of the Pan-
narello.
