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
1 second.
2Wait 1 minute. The number of squares on the test strip that turn red indicate2
the water hardness.
Set the machine to the correct water hardness:
3Tap the Settings icon and scroll from left to right to select 'Water hardness'.3
12

4Select the water hardness level. The number of red squares selected on the4
display should be the same as the number of red squares on the test strip.
5When you have set the correct water hardness, tap the conrmation icon5
to conrm.
Adjusting the grind setting
You can change the coee strength with the grind setting knob inside the bean
container. The lower the grind setting, the ner the coee beans are ground and
the stronger the coee becomes. There are 12 dierent grind settings you can
choose from.
The machine has been set up to get the best taste out of your coee 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 dierence.
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.1
2Tap on ¨Grinder¨.2
3Watch the how to video.3
Restoring factory settings
The machine oers you the possibility to restore the factory settings at any
moment.
1Tap the Settings icon. 1
2Scroll from left to right to select 'Factory settings'. Conrm by tapping the2
conrmation icon.
- The settings are now restored.-
The following factory settings are restored to default: water hardness,
standby time, display brightness, sound , front illumination, proles, measure/
units, home screen settings, Wi-Fi credentials, software update preferences,
Saeco credentials, Amazon credentials.
AquaClean water lter
Your machine is AquaClean enabled. You can place the AquaClean water lter in
the water tank to preserve the taste of your coee. It also diminishes the need
for descaling by reducing limescale build-up in your machine. You can purchase
an AquaClean water lter from your local or online retailer or from authorized
service centers.
13

AquaClean lter status indication
The status of the AquaClean lter is always visible in the 'Status' menu as a
percentage.
- If the status of the AquaClean lter 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 lter.
- If the status of the lter is 0%, the machine asks you to replace the AquaClean-
lter every time you switch on the machine.
Activating the AquaClean water lter (5 min.)
The machine does not automatically detect that a lter has been placed in the
water tank. Therefore you need to activate each new AquaClean water lter that
you install in the 'Status' menu.
When the machine stops showing the lter activation message, you can still
activate an AquaClean water lter, but you will need to descale the machine rst.
Your machine has to be completely limescale-free before you start using the
AquaClean water lter.
Before activating the AquaClean water lter, 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 coee.
1Tap the 'Status' icon and scroll from left to right to select 'AquaClean'. 1
2Tap the conrmation icon again when the activation screen appears.2
Follow the instructions on the screen.
Replacing the AquaClean water lter (5 min.)
After 95 liters of water have owed through the lter, the lter will cease to
work. The AquaClean status indicator drops to 0% to remind you to replace
the lter. If you do not replace the AquaClean water lter in time, you can still
replace the lter but you rst need to descale the machine.
When the AquaClean status indicator drops to 0% or when the machine reminds
you to replace the AquaClean lter:
1take out the old AquaClean water lter.1
2install a new lter and activate it as described in chapter 'Activating the2
AquaClean water lter (5 min.)'.
Replace the AquaClean water lter at least every 3 months, even if the
machine does not yet indicate that replacement is required.
