12. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
13. Save these instructions.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
This appliance is for household use only. Any servicing, other than cleaning
and user maintenance, should be performed by an authorized service center.
Do not immerse machine in water. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,
do not disassemble the machine. There are no parts inside the machine
serviceable by the user. Repair should be done by authorized service personnel
only.
1. Check voltage to be sure that the voltage indicated on the nameplate
corresponds with your voltage.
2. Never use warm or hot water to fill the water tank. Use cold water only.
3. Keep your hands and the cord away from hot parts of the appliance during
operation.
4. Never clean with scrubbing powders or harsh cleaners. Simply use a soft
cloth dampened with water.
5. For optimal taste of your coffee, use purified or bottled water. Periodic
descaling is still recommended every 2-3 months.
6. Do not use caramelized or flavored coffee beans.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE POWER
SUPPLY CORD
A. A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be
provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
B. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available
and may used if care is exercised in their use.
C. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance
2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped
over.

MEASURING AND PROGRAMMING WATER HARDNESS
Water hardness measuring is very important in order to de ne the descal-
ing frequency and to install the “INTENZA+” water  lter (for more details on
the water  lter, see next chapter).
To measure water hardness, follow the steps below:
1
Immerse the water hardness test strip (supplied with the machine) in
water for 1 second.
Note:
The test strip can only be used for one single measurement.
2
Wait for one minute.

"INTENZA+" WATER FILTER
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 user 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.
“INTENZA+” Water Filter Installation
1
Remove the small white  lter from the water tank and store it in a dry
place.

ADJUSTMENTS
The machine allows for certain adjustments so that you can enhance the
quality and taste of your co ee.
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 raw, caramelized and  avoured co ee beans.
The machine automatically adjusts itself after brewing a certain number of
cups of co ee to optimise extraction.
Adjusting the Ceramic Co ee Grinder
Ceramic co ee grinders always guarantee accurate and perfect grinding
and coarseness for every co ee speciality.
This provides full aroma preservation, delivering a truly Italian taste in
every cup.
Warning:
The ceramic co ee grinder contains moving parts that may be danger-
ous. Do not insert  ngers or other objects. Only adjust the ceramic
co ee grinder using the grinder adjustment key.
You can adjust the ceramic grinders to set co ee grinding to your personal
taste.
Warning:
You can only adjust the co ee grinder settings when the machine is
grinding co ee beans.
1
Place a cup under the dispensing spout.
Press the
button to brew an espresso.
22
ENGLISH
2
While the machine grinds co ee, press and turn the grinder adjust-
ment knob placed inside the co ee bean hopper one notch at a time.
Use the special co ee grinder adjustment key supplied. You will taste
the di erence after brewing 2-3 cups of co ee.

3
The reference marks inside the co ee bean hopper indicate the grind
setting. There are 5 di erent grind settings to choose from, from posi-
tion 1
( )
for coarse grind - lighter taste to position 2
( )
for  ne grind -
stronger taste. If co ee is watery or is brewed slowly, change the co ee
grinder settings.
Adjusting the Aroma (Co ee Strength)
Choose your favourite co ee blend and adjust the amount of co ee to
be ground according to your personal taste. You can also select the pre-
ground co ee function.
Note:
Selection must be made prior to selecting co ee.
You can choose from 5 options by pressing the
button. Each time
the button is pressed, the aroma changes by one degree, according to the
selected amount:
= extra mild aroma
= mild aroma
= medium aroma
= strong aroma
= extra strong aroma
= pre-ground co ee

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.
