As a general rule, any type of coffee available on the

made especially for espresso coffee machines. As a rule,

When making coffee from pods, Saeco recommends

tasting espresso and an easy clean-up.

BEFORE USING THE HOT WATER/STEAM
KNOB (4), MAKE SURE THAT THE STEAM
SPOUT (PANNARELLO) IS POSITIONED OVER THE
DRIP TRAY.
7 HOT WATER
Danger of scalding! When brewing starts, spurts
of hot water may come out. The spout can reach
high temperatures: do not touch it with bare hands.
•(Fig.3) - Press the ON/OFF button (2), to turn the machine
on.
• Wait until the machine ready light (15) turns on. The
machine is now ready.
•(Fig.18) - Place a container or cup under the steam spout
(Pannarello).
•(Fig.5) - Open the hot water/steam knob (4) by turning it
counter-clockwise.
•(Fig.6) - Switch the selection knob (17) to the
position.
• When the desired quantity of hot water has been
dispensed, set the selection knob (17) to the
position.
•(Fig.5) - Close the hot water knob (4).
• Remove the container with hot water.
8 STEAM / CAPPUCCINO
Danger of scalding! Initially, spurts of hot
water may come out. The spout can reach high
temperatures: do not touch it with bare hands.
•(Fig.3) - Press the ON/OFF button (2), to turn the machine
on.
• Wait until the machine ready (15) light turns on.
•(Fig.19) - Switch the selection knob (17) to the
position.
• Wait until the steam light (16) turns on. The machine is
now ready for steam dispensing.
•(Fig.18) - Place a container under the steam spout.
•(Fig.5) - Open the steam knob (4) for a few seconds,
VRWKDWDQ\UHVLGXDOZDWHUÀRZVRXWRIWKHVWHDPVSRXW(Pannarello). Wait until there is a steady jet of steam
coming out of the spout.
• Close the knob (4) and remove the container.
• Fill 1/3 of a frothing pitcher or large mug with cold milk.
Use cold milk to get better results when frothing.
The higher the fat content, the thicker the froth
will be.
•(Fig.20) - Immerse the steam spout in the milk and open
the steam knob (4) by turning it counter-clockwise. Gently
swirl the milk container with slow upward movements so
that it warms up evenly.
It is recommended to dispense steam for no more
than 60 seconds.
• After steaming/frothing, close the knob (4) and remove
the cup with the frothed milk.
•(Fig.19) - Switch the selection knob (17) to the
position.
If both lights are illuminated and the machine's temperature
is too high to brew coffee, prime the water circuit as
described in section 4.5, to make the machine ready for
use.
Note: The machine is ready when the machine
ready light (15) is permanently on.
Note: If steaming/frothing is not possible, prime
WKHZDWHUFLUFXLWDVGHVFULEHGLQVHFWLRQWKHQrepeat the procedure.
The same procedure can be used to heat other
beverages.
• After steaming/frothing, clean the steam spout thoroughly
with a wet cloth, as described in the following section.
9 CLEANING
Maintenance and cleaning must only be performed
when the machine has cooled down and has been
disconnected from the power supply.
• Do not immerse the machine in water nor place any of its
parts in a dishwasher.
• Do not use alcohol-based cleansers, solvents and/or
aggressive chemical agents.

11 CAPPUCCINATORE (OPTIONAL)
Not all machine models come with the cappuccinatore
automatic frother cappuccinatore. The cappuccinatore
allows you to easily and quickly prepare delicious
cappuccinos.
Follow these simple instructions to install it.
1(Fig.29) - Remove the Pannarello frother (if inserted),
and loosen the ring nut on the upper part of the
cappuccinatore.
2 Insert the cappuccinatore completely onto the steam
spout.
3(Fig.30) - Tighten the ring nut.
To use the cappuccinatore, prepare the machine as
described in the related sections.
Before using the cappuccinatore parts, we recommend
washing them with water (Fig.31-32), To do so, immerse
the suction tube in a fresh water container and proceed
to dispense a small quantity of steam out through
the cappuccinatore (see section 8 regarding steam
dispensing). This ensures all parts are perfectly clean
before use.
To clean the cappuccinatore after use with
milk, perform the same procedure, by using the
suction tube to draw water through the cappuccinatore
parts.
7RIURWKPLONIRUPDNLQJFDSSXFFLQR¿OODFXSRUFRQWDLQHUwith milk, and place it beside the machine.
•(Fig.33) - Immerse the suction tube in the container of
milk.
•(Fig.34) - Dispense steam as described in section 8. Turn
the pin on the cappuccinatore to adjust the consistency of
the milk froth, making sure not to remove it completely.
Lift the pin gently to obtain more froth.
• After frothing milk using the cappuccinatore, immerse
the suction tube into a container with fresh clean water
and repeat the steps to dispense steam (section 8). The
cappuccinatore is clean when clean water is dispensed.
Clean the suction tube externally with a damp cloth.
The cappuccinatore must be removed and
completely washed once a week.
Wash the cappuccinatore as follows:
•(Fig.35) - Remove the cappuccinatore from the steam
spout.
• Separate the components of the cappuccinatore by pulling
the halves apart.
Warning. Do not use steam when th e
cappuccinatore is not inserted onto the steam
spout.

• 14 •
•(Fig.36) - Wash the cappuccinatore with lukewarm
water. Make sure it is rinsed thoroughly, and all residue
is removed.
