Rinse/Self-cleaning Cycle
This cycle allow rinsing the coee circuits
with fresh water.
The cycle is carried out:
• At machine start (with cold boiler)
• After priming the water circuit (with
cold boiler)
• During the Stand-by preparation phase
(if a coee product has been brewed)
• During the turning off phase after
pressing the ON/OFF button (if a coee
product has been brewed).

under the dispensing spout before
starting dispensing.
A small amount of water will be dispen-
sed which will rinse and heat all the ma-
chine components; in this phase the lights
blink cyclically in a counter-clockwise
direction.
Wait for the cycle to nish automatically.
You can stop dispensing as well, by pres-

ADJUSTMENTS
The machine that you have bought allows
for certain adjustments that will permit
you to use it to its full potential.
Saeco Adapting System
Coffee is a natural product and its cha-
racteristics may change according to its
origin, blend and roast. The Saeco coee
machine is equipped with a self-adjusting
system that allows the use of all types of
coee beans available on the market (non
caramelized).
• The machine automatically adjusts
itself in order to optimise the extrac-
tion of the coffee, ensuring perfect
compression of the tablet to obtain a
creamyespressocoeethatwillrelease
allthe aromas,regardlessofthetypeof
coee used.
• The optimisation process is a learning
process that requires the brewing of a
certain number of coees to allow the
machine to adjust the compactness of
the ground coee.
• Attention should be given to spe-
cial blends, which require grinder
adjustments in order to optimise the
extraction of the coee (see section
“Coee Grinder Adjustment”).
