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.
Preparing for Use
1Remove the coee bean hopper lid and 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 the machine or being injured.

ily reachable socket.
• Allow for a minimum distance from the sides of the machine as
shown in the illustration.
4Insert the drip tray with grill into the machine. Make sure it is fully
inserted.
Note:
The drip tray collects the water that comes out of the dispensing spout
during each rinse/self-cleaning cycle, as well as coee that might be spilled
during coee preparation. Empty and wash the drip tray daily and each
time the full drip tray indicator is raised.

“INTENZA+”Water Filter Installation
We recommend you to install the“INTENZA+” water lter as this prevents
limescale build-up in your machine and preserves a more intense aroma of
your coee.
The “INTENZA+” water lter can be purchased separately. For further de-
tails, please refer to the maintenance products page in this manual.
Water is a crucial part of every coee, so it is very 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 “INTENZA+”water lter according to the hardness of the water
used:
A = Soft water
B = Hard water (standard)
C = Very hard water
16
ENGLISH
4Put the "INTENZA +" water lter into the empty water tank. Press it
down until it cannot move any further.
5Fill the water tank with fresh water and reinsert it into the machine.
6Brew a few coees (see the "Brewing coee" section).
7Remove the tank, ll it with fresh water up to the MAX level and place
it back into the machine.
ADJUSTMENTS
The machine allows for certain adjustments so that you can brew the best
tasting coee possible.
Saeco Adapting System
Coee 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 coee beans available on the
market except for raw, caramelized and avoured coee beans. The ma-
chine automatically adjusts itself after brewing a certain number of cups of
coee to optimise the extraction.
Steady on
8When the operations described above have been completed, the“ ”
light shines steadily. Machine is ready to brew coee.
Note:
We recommend replacing the "INTENZA +" water lter every 2 months.

Adjusting the Ceramic Coffee Grinder
Ceramic coee grinders always guarantee accurate and perfect grinding
and coarseness for every coee speciality.
This provides full aroma preservation, delivering a truly Italian taste in
every cup.

grinder using the grinder adjustment key. The ceramic coffee grinder
contains moving parts that may be dangerous.
You can adjust the ceramic grinders to set the coee grinding to your
personal taste.
