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

INTENZA WATER FILTER
To improve the quality of the water you use and extend the life of your machine at the same time, it is recommended that you install the
water lter. After installation, go to the water lter initialization programme (see the "MACHINE MENU", page 25). In this way, the machine
informs the user when the water lter must be replaced.
Remove the water lter from its packaging, immerse it vertically (with the opening positioned upwards) in cold water and
gently press its sides to let the air bubbles out.
Remove the small white lter from the
tank and store it in a dry place sheltered
from dust.
Fill the tank with fresh drinking water
and re-insert it into the machine.
Place a container beneath the hot water/
steam wand.
Insert the lter in the empty tank. The
reference mark and the groove must
match. Push rmly until it is completely
inserted.
Set up the Intenza Aroma System:
A = Soft water
B = Medium water (standard)
C = Hard water
Press the "OK" button. Press the "OK" button to conrm the

Press and turn. This setting provides a very ne grinding.
SAECO ADAPTING SYSTEM
Coee is a natural product and its characteristics 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 (not including avored or carmelized).
• The machine automatically adjusts itself in order to optimize the extraction of the coee, ensuring perfect compression of the beans to
obtain a creamy espresso coee that is able to release all the aromas, regardless of the type of coee used.
• The optimization 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 adjustments in order to optimize the extraction of the coee.
COFFEE GRINDER ADJUSTMENT
The machine allows slight adjustments to the coee grinder to adapt it to the kind of coee used.
Important Note: Adjustments to the coee grinder can be made only when the grinder is being used. This phase takes
place during the rst part of a coee brewing.
The adjustment can be carried out by using the dial inside the bean hopper without coming into contact with any moving parts.
Press and rotate the dial (one step at a time) according to the indications provided on the cover.
Press and turn the dial one notch at a time and brew 2-3 cups of coee; this is the only way to notice dierences in the grind.

Note: Before using the carafe, make sure it is thoroughly clean and sanitary. If
milk is left in the carafe, make sure it is still suitable for food consumption before
using it.
The container allows for an easy and practical steaming and frothing of milk.The container
can be easily removed from the machine after each use so that it can be placed back in the
refrigerator.
The brewing circuit is automatically washed by an automatic cleaning cycle after each use.
This automatic cleaning cycle works only if active (see page 31) and can be also manually
started by pressing the "CLEAN" button next (see page 17).
The carafe must be removed at least once a week to allow for proper cleaning of all
components and keep all parts fresh for optimum brewing. (For proper cleaning, refer to the
"MILK CARAFE CLEANING" section see page 41).
Remove the protection cover from the
milk container connection and keep it in
a clean place. It is suggested to insert it
in the water cover seat.
Rotate the handle clockwise to
disengage the lock. Press the disengage buttons to allow the
lid removal.
Fill the carafe with cold milk. Fill milk to
above the "MIN" line, but do not exceed
the "MAX" level indicated on the carafe.

BEVERAGE BREWING WITH PRE-GROUND COFFEE
The machine allows you to use pre-ground and decaeinated coee.
Pre-ground coee must be poured into the bypass doser positioned on the top of the machine. Only use ground coee for espresso
machines and never coee beans or instant coee (see the "BEVERAGE MENU" section on page 22).
This example shows how to brew an espresso by using pre-ground coee.
Place 1 cup under the dispensing spout. Press the opti-dose once or more until
the icon appears on the display screen.
Select the product desired by pressing
the corresponding button.
A message reminds the user to pour
ground coee into the bypass doser.
Press on the door to open it and lift it.
Pour ground coee in the bypass doser
using the measuring scoop provided.
Press "OK" to start brewing.
Note:
• If brewing does not start within 30 seconds from the appearance of the message in step 4, the machine will return to the main
menu and discharge any inserted coee into the used grounds drawer.
• If no pre-ground coee is poured into the bypass doser, only water will be dispensed.
• If the dose is excessive or if 2 or more scoops of coee are added, the machine will not brew the product and the coee in the
bypass doser will be discharged into the used grounds drawer.
WARNING: ONLY PUT PREGROUND COFFEE INTO THE BYPASS DOSER WHEN YOU WISH TO BREW THIS TYPE
OF PRODUCT.
ONLY INSERT ONE SCOOP OF GROUND COFFEE AT A TIME. TWO COFFEES CANNOT BE BREWED AT THE SAME
TIME WHEN USING THIS FUNCTION.

Once milk has been dispensed, the
machine starts brewing the coffee.This
operation can be stopped by pressing
"STOP".
