microorganisms: use it after brewing cappuccino or other milk-based drinks.
Our durable grinder is made from 100% ceramic to be exceptionally hard and
precise. It can be adjusted to your taste with 12-step levels.
The Maintenance Dashboard gives you a helpful overview and notifies you
with status information on things like that the AquaClean is running low.

Setting the water hardness
We advise you to adjust the water hardness setting to the water hardness level in your region for
optimal performance and a longer lifetime of the machine. This also prevents you from having to
descale the machine too often. The default water hardness setting is 4: hard water.
Use the water hardness test strip supplied in the box to determine the water
hardness in your region:
1Immerse the water hardness test strip in tap water or hold it under the tap for 1 second (Fig. 10).
2Wait 1 minute. The number of squares on the test strip that turn red indicate the water hardness
(Fig. 11).

12 English
Set the machine to the correct water hardness:
1Tap the Settings icon and scroll from left to right to select 'Water hardness'.
2Select the water hardness level. The number of red squares selected on the display should be the
same as the number of red squares on the test strip (Fig. 12).
3When you have set the correct water hardness, tap the confirmation icon to confirm.
Adjusting the grind setting
You can change the coffee strength with the grind setting knob inside the bean container. The lower
the grind setting, the finer the coffee beans are ground and the stronger the coffee becomes. There
are 12 different grind settings you can choose from.
The machine has been set up to get the best taste out of your coffee beans. Therefore we advise you
not to adjust the grind setting until you have brewed 100-150 cups (approx. 1 month of use).
You need to brew 2 to 3 drinks before you can taste the full difference.
Do not turn the grind setting knob more than one notch at a time to prevent damage to the grinder.
1Tap the Settings icon in the main menu.
2Tap on ¨Grinder¨.
3Watch the how to video.
Restoring factory settings
The machine offers you the possibility to restore the factory settings at any moment.
1Tap the Settings icon.
2Scroll from left to right to select 'Factory settings'. Confirm by tapping the confirmation icon.
-The settings are now restored.
The following factory settings are restored to default: water hardness, standby time, display
brightness, sound, front illumination, profiles, measure/units, home screen settings, Wi-Fi credentials,
software update preferences, Saeco credentials, Amazon credentials.
AquaClean water filter
Your machine is AquaClean enabled. You can place the AquaClean water filter in the water tank to
preserve the taste of your coffee. It also diminishes the need for descaling by reducing limescale
build-up in your machine. You can purchase an AquaClean water filter from your local or online
retailer or from authorized service centers.
AquaClean filter status indication
The status of the AquaClean filter is always visible in the 'Status' menu as a percentage.
-If the status of the AquaClean filter is 10% or less, the screen shows a message for 2 seconds each
time you switch on the machine. This message advises you to buy a new filter.
-If the status of the filter is 0%, the machine asks you to replace the AquaClean filter every time you
switch on the machine.
Activating the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)
The machine does not automatically detect that a filter has been placed in the water tank.
Therefore you need to activate each new AquaClean water filter that you install in the 'Status' menu.
When the machine stops showing the filter activation message, you can still activate an AquaClean
water filter, but you will need to descale the machine first.

13
English
Your machine has to be completely limescale-free before you start using the AquaClean water
filter.
Before activating the AquaClean water filter, it has to be prepared by soaking it in water as described
below. If you don't do this, air might be drawn into the machine instead of water, which makes a lot of
noise and prevents the machine from being able to brew coffee.
1Tap the 'Status' icon and scroll from left to right to select 'AquaClean'.
2Tap the confirmation icon again when the activation screen appears. Follow the instructions on
the screen.
Replacing the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)
After 95 liters of water have flowed through the filter, the filter will cease to work. The AquaClean
status indicator drops to 0% to remind you to replace the filter. If you do not replace the AquaClean
water filter in time, you can still replace the filter but you first need to descale the machine.
When the AquaClean status indicator drops to 0% or when the machine reminds you to replace the
AquaClean filter:
1take out the old AquaClean water filter.
2install a new filter and activate it as described in chapter 'Activating the AquaClean water filter (5
min.)'.
Replace the AquaClean water filter at least every 3 months, even if the machine does not yet
indicate that replacement is required.
Removing and inserting the brew group

Descaling procedure
Please use Philips descaler only. Under no circumstances should you use a descaler based on sulfuric
acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfamic or acetic acid (vinegar) as this may damage the water circuit in your
machine and will not dissolve the limescale properly. Not using the Philips descaler will void your
warranty. Failure to descale the appliance will also void your warranty. You can buy Philips descaler
from your local or online retailer or from authorized service centers.
1When the machine asks you to descale it, tap the confirmation icon to start. To start descaling
without being prompted by the machine, tap the 'Status' icon and select 'Descale'.

17
English
2Remove the drip tray, the coffee grounds container and the HygieSteam container (Fig. 22), empty
them and put them back into place.
3Remove the water tank and empty it. Then remove the AquaClean filter.
4Pour the whole bottle of Philips descaler into the water tank and then fill it with water up to the
CALC CLEAN level (Fig. 37). Then place the water tank back into the machine.
5Place a large container (1.5 l) under the coffee dispensing spout.
6Make sure that the HygieSteam container is correctly assembled (Fig. 30) and attached to the
machine (Fig. 31). Place the milk tube in the milk tube holder.
7Follow the instructions on the screen to start the descaling procedure. The descaling procedure
lasts approx. 30 minutes and consists of a descaling cycle and a rinsing cycle.
8Once the descaling cycle is finished, you need to rinse the water tank and water circuit. Follow the
instructions on the screen.
9Place a new AquaClean filter in the water tank and activate it (see 'Activating the AquaClean water
filter (5 min.)').
Tip: Using the AquaClean filter reduces the need for descaling!
What to do if the descaling procedure is interrupted
You can exit the descaling procedure by pressing the on/off icon on the control panel. If the descaling
procedure is interrupted before it is completely finished, some descaling liquid may remain in the
water tank or the water circuit. In that case, do the following:
1Empty and rinse the water tank thoroughly.
2Fill the water tank with fresh water up to the CALC CLEAN level indication and switch the machine
back on. The machine will heat up and perform an automatic rinsing cycle.
3Before brewing any drinks, perform a manual rinsing cycle. To perform a manual rinsing cycle, first
dispense half a water tank of hot water and then brew 2 cups of pre-ground coffee without adding
ground coffee.
Note: If the descaling procedure was not completed, the machine will require another descaling
procedure as soon as possible.

Switch off the machine. Remove the brew group and reinsert it.
Make sure that the brew group is in the correct position before
you insert it. Consult chapter 'Handling the brew group' or visit
www.saeco.com/care for detailed video instructions. Then
switch the machine on again.
05 There is air in the water

works, dispense 2-3 cups of hot water. Descale the machine if
you have not done so for a longer period of time.
The AquaClean filter
was not prepared
properly before
installation or it is
clogged.
Remove the AquaClean filter and try to brew a coffee again. If
this works, make sure that the AquaClean filter is prepared
properly before you place it back (see 'Activating the
AquaClean water filter (5 min.)'). Put the AquaClean filter back
into the water tank. If this still does not work, the filter might be
clogged and needs to be replaced.

Software updates
Updating is essential to safeguard your privacy and proper functioning of your coffee machine. You
can set whether you want to update your machine manually or whether you want it to be done
automatically.
When you have selected automatic updates, make sure that the machine is also plugged in at night
and Wi-Fi is enabled, so that the machine can receive the software updates overnight.
Updates are made available when there are software improvements, new features for the machine
and to prevent a possible security issue.
Mandatory firmware updates are started automatically when the coffee machine is in stand-by
mode. During a firmware update the coffee machine cannot be used.

Problem Cause Solution
There are some coffee
residues inside my new
coffee machine.
This machine has been tested
with coffee.
Although it has been carefully cleaned,
there may be some coffee residues left.
However, the machine is absolutely
new.
The machine is in DEMO
mode.
You pressed the standby icon
for more than 8 seconds.
Switch the machine on and off by
unplugging the power cord and then
plugging it in again.
The drip tray fills up
quickly / there is always
some water in the drip
tray.
This is normal. The machine
uses water to rinse the internal
circuit and brew group. Some
water flows through the internal
system directly into the drip
tray.
Empty the drip tray daily or as soon as
the red 'drip tray full' indicator pops up
through the drip tray cover. Tip: place a
cup under the dispensing spout to
collect rinsing water that comes out of
it.
The 'empty coffee
grounds container' icon
remains on.
You emptied the coffee grounds
container while the machine
was unplugged from the wall
socket, or you placed it back too
fast.
Remove the coffee grounds container,
wait at least 5 seconds and then insert it
again.
The machine prompts to
empty the coffee
grounds container even
though the container is
not full.
The machine did not reset the
counter the last time you
emptied the coffee grounds
container.
Always wait approx. 5 seconds when
you place back the coffee grounds
container. In this way, the coffee pucks
counter will be reset to zero and the
number of coffee pucks is counted
correctly.

Problem Cause Solution
The coffee grounds
container is too full and
the 'empty coffee
grounds container' icon
did not appear on the
display.
You removed the drip tray
without emptying the coffee
grounds container.
When you remove the drip tray, also
empty the coffee grounds container
even if it contains only a few coffee
pucks. This ensures that the coffee
pucks counter is reset to zero and that
the number of coffee pucks is counted
correctly.
I cannot remove the
brew group.
The brew group is not in the
correct position.
Reset the machine in the following way:
close the service door and place back
the water tank. Switch the machine off
and back on again and wait for the
lights in the drink icons to come on. Try
to remove the brew group again. See
chapter 'Removing and inserting the
brew group' for step-by-step
instructions.
I cannot insert the brew
group.
The brew group is not in the
correct position.
Reset the machine in the following way:
close the service door and place back
the water tank. Leave the brew group
out. Switch off the machine and unplug
it. Wait for 30 seconds and then plug
the machine back in, switch it on and
wait for the lights in the drink icons to
come on. Then put the brew group in
the correct position and reinsert it into
the machine. See chapter 'Removing
and inserting the brew group' for step-
by-step instructions.
The coffee is watery. The brew group is dirty or needs
to be lubricated.
Remove the brew group, rinse it under
the tap and leave it to dry. Then
lubricate the moving parts (see
'Lubricating the brew group').
The machine is performing its
self-adjustment procedure. This
procedure is started
automatically when you use the
machine for the first time, when
you change to another type of
coffee beans or after a long
period of non-use.
Brew 5 cups of coffee initially to allow
the machine to complete its self-
adjustment procedure.
The grinder is set to a too
coarse setting.
Set the grinder to a finer (lower) setting.
Brew 2 to 3 drinks to be able to taste
the full difference.
The coffee is not hot
enough.
The temperature is set too low. Set the temperature to the maximum
setting (Fig. 38).
A cold cup reduces the
temperature of the drink.
Preheat the cups by rinsing them with
hot water.
