the packaging material for possible future
transport.
Preliminary Operations
• Remove the coee bean hopper lid and
the drip tray with grill from the packa-
ging.
• Remove the coee machine from the
packaging and position it in a place that
meetstherequirementsdescribed in the
“Safety Regulations”.
• Place the drip tray with grill into its
appropriate seat on the machine. Make
sure it is fully inserted to its limit stop.
• Replace the coee bean hopper lid.
Note: Insert the plug into the
socket only when indicated
and check that the ON/OFF button is
not pressed.
ImportantNote:Carefullyread
the explanations of all the
warnings displayed by the machine
to the user by means of the lights on
the control panel (see section “Control
Panel Lights”).
NEVER remove the drip tray
whenthe machineis turnedon.

a rinse/self-cleaning cycle (see section
“Rinse/Self-Cleaning Cycle”).
MAX
MIN
• Remove the water tank.
• Rinse and ll it with fresh water ma-
king sure that it is not lled exceeding
the MAX level indicated in the water
tank. Put the water tank back in its
seat to its limit stop.

is empty: Make sure there is enough
water in the tank.
• Remove the coee bean hopper lid.
Note: The hopper may be
fitted with different safety
features according to the regula-
tions of the country of use of the
machine.
• Slowly pour the coee beans into the
hopper.
Only coee beans must be put
into the coee bean hopper.
Ground coffee, instant coffee or
any other object may damage the
machine.
• Replace the lid on the coee bean hop-
per.
• Insert the plug into the socket located
on the back of the machine.
• Insert the plug of the other end of the
power cord into a wall socket with
suitable power voltage.

• Make sure control dial is on “ ” posi-
tion; if this is not the case, set it to that
position.
• Simply press the ON/OFF button to
turn the machine on; the “ “ light will
begin to blink rapidly indicating that
the water circuit must be primed.
Note: Before starting the
machine for the first time,
prime the water circuit.
Using the machine for the
first time or after a long
period of inactivity.
These simple operations will make it pos-
sible to always brew excellent coee.
They have to be performed:
A) At rst start-up.
B) When the machine remains inactive
for a long time (more than 2 weeks).
Dispensed watermust be em-
ptied into an adequate drain.
It is not suitable for food use.
1 Place a container under the dispensing
spout.
2 Before starting the procedure, check
that the“ “ light is steady on.
Priming the Water Circuit
• To prime the water circuit, place a
container under the hot water / steam
wand.
• Turn the control dial clockwise to set it
to the “ ”position and wait.
When water steadily comes out and the
““ light will blink slowly - indicating
that the knob can be turned o - rotate
the control dial counter-clockwise to set
it back to the “ ”position.
• At this point the “ “ light begins to
blink slowly, indicating that the ma-
chine is in warm-up mode.
When warm-up is complete,
the machine performs a rinse
cycle of the internal circuits.
• When the above steps are complete,
check that the “ “ light is on steady.
The machine is now ready for use.
• To brew coee, dispense hot water or
steam, and for a proper use of the ma-
chine, carefully follow the instructions
provided.
3 Brew one coee. Press and release the
““ button. The machine starts
brewing coee.
4 Wait until brewing is complete and
remove the container.
5 Placea containerunderthesteamwand
(Pannarello, if supplied).
6 Turn the selector switch clockwise to
the“ ”position.
7 Dispense water until the no water
signal is displayed. The “ ”light re-
mains steady on.
Now turn the selector switch counter-
clockwise to set it back to the“ ” po-
sition.
8 At the end, fill the water tank again.
Then the products can be brewed as

Rinse/Self-Cleaning Cycle
This cycle will rinse the internal circuits
with fresh water.
The cycle is carried out:
• At machine start (with cold boiler)
• After priming the water circuit (with
cold boiler)
• During the standby preparation phase
(if a coee product has been brewed)
• During the turning off phase after
pressing the ON/OFF button (if a coee
product has been brewed).
Note: Before dispensing,
place a container beneath the
dispensing spout.
A small amount of water will be dispensed
which will rinse and heat all the machine
components; in this phase the indicator
lights ash counter-clockwise.
Wait for the cycle to nish automatically.
You can stop dispensing as well, by pres-
sing either coee button.
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 optimize the extrac-
tion of the coffee, ensuring perfect
compression of the beans to obtain a
creamyespresso coee that will 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 spe-
cial blends, which require grinder
adjustments in order to optimize the
extraction of the coee (see section
“Coee Grinder Adjustment”).
