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.
Machine Installation
1Remove the machine from the packaging.
2For 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.
• Choose a location that is suciently well-lit, clean and near an eas-
ily reachable socket.
• Allow for a minimum distance from the sides of the machine as
shown in the illustration.
3Remove the water tank lid.
4Lift the water tank using the handle.

11 ENGLISH 11
8Slowly pour the coee beans into the coee bean hopper.
Note:
Do not pour too many coee beans into the coee bean hopper as this will
reduce the grinding performance of the machine.
Caution:
Only coee beans must be put into the coee bean hopper. Ground
coee, instant coee, caramelized coee or any other object may
damage the machine.
9Put back the coee bean hopper lid on the coee bean hopper.
10 Insert the plug into the socket located on the back of the machine.
11 Insert the plug at the other end of the power cord into a wall socket
with suitable power voltage.

5Rinse the water tank with fresh water.
6Fill the water tank with fresh water up to the MAX level and reinsert it
into the machine. Make sure it is fully inserted.
Caution:
Never ll the water tank with warm, hot, sparkling water or any other
liquid, as this may cause damage to the water tank and the machine.
7Remove the coee bean hopper lid.

12 ENGLISH
12 Switch the power button to “I”to turn on the machine. The “ ” button
ashes.
13 To turn on the machine simply press the “ ” button.
USING THE MACHINE FOR THE FIRST TIME
When using the machine for the rst time, the following activities need to
happen:
1) You need to prime the circuit.
2) The machine will perform an automatic rinse/self-cleaning cycle.
Circuit priming
During this process fresh water ows through the internal circuit of the
machine and the machine warms up. This takes a few minutes.
1Place a container under the coee dispensing spout.
2The machine starts the automatic priming of the circuit by dispensing
some water through the dispensing spout. The “ ” and “ ” lights
ash simultaneously.

13 ENGLISH 13
3The machine warms up and the “ ” and “ ” buttons ash simultane-
ously.
Automatic rinse/self-cleaning cycle
When warm-up is complete, the machine automatically performs a rinse/
self-cleaning cycle of the internal circuit with fresh water. This takes less
than a minute.
1Place a container under the coee dispensing spout to catch the water
which will be dispensed.
2The “ ” and “ ” lights ash simultaneously. Wait for the cycle to n-
ish automatically.
3When the operations described above are complete, the “ ” and “ ”
buttons are steady on.
Now the machine is ready for use.
Note:
When you haven’t used the machine for 2 or more weeks, the machine
will automatically perform an automatic rinse/self-cleaning cycle after you
switch it on.
The automatic rinse/self-cleaning cycle is also initiated when the machine
has been in stand-by mode, or switched o , for more than 15 minutes.
After this cycle has been completed, you can brew a coee.

14 ENGLISH
“INTENZA+” water lter 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 coee.
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 coee, 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

15 ENGLISH 15
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 2 coees to properly prime the circuit.
7‘When the above steps have been completed’, the “ ” and “ ” but-
tons light steadily.’
Note:
We recommend you to replace the Intenza + lter every 2 months.
ADJUSTMENTS
The machine allows for certain adjustments so that you can brew the best
tasting coee possible.
Saeco Adapting System
Coee 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 coee beans available on the
market except for caramelized and avoured coee beans.
The machine automatically adjusts itself after brewing several cups of cof-
fee to optimize the extraction.

16 ENGLISH
Adjusting the Coee Grinder.
‘You can adjust the grinder to set the coee grinding to your personal
taste.’
Warning:
The coee grinder contains moving parts that may be dangerous. Do
not insert ngers or other objects. Only adjust the coee grinder us-
ing the grinder adjustment key.
Warning:
The grinder adjustment knob, inside the coee bean hopper, must be
turned only when the coee grinder is running.
1‘Press and turn the grinder adjustment knob below the coee bean
hopper one notch at a time. Use the coee grinder adjustment key
provided with the machine.’You will taste the dierence after brewing
2-3 cups of coee.
12
2The reference marks inside the coee bean hopper indicate the grind
setting. There are 5 dierent grind settings to choose from position
1 for coarse grind - milder taste to position 2 for ne grind - stronger
taste.

17 ENGLISH 17
Adjusting the Dispensing Spout
The height of the dispensing spout can be adjusted to better t the
dimensions of the cups that you wish to use.
Move the dispensing spout up or down with your ngers to adjust its
height as shown in the image.
The recommended positions are:
For the use of small cups;
For the use of large cups.
Two cups can also be placed under the dispensing spout to brew two cups
of espresso or coee at the same time.

18 ENGLISH
Adjusting the coee length
The machine allows you to adjust the amount of brewed coee according
to your taste and the size of your cups.
Each time the “ ” or “ ” button is pressed, the machine brews a pre-set
amount of coee. Each button may be individually programmed for a
specic brew setting.
The following procedure describes how to programme the “ ” button.
1Place a cup under the dispensing spout.
2Press and hold the “ ” button until it starts to ash quickly. Then
release the button. The machine is now programming. The “ ” button
ashes during the programming cycle.
The machine starts brewing coee.
3Press the “ ” button as soon as the desired amount of coee is
reached.
Now the button “ ” is programmed; each time it is pressed, the machine
will brew the same amount of espresso that was just programmed.
Note:
To program the “ ” button, the same steps should be followed.
Press the “ ” button to stop brewing when the desired amount of coee
is reached.
