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  
1 Remove the machine from the packaging.  
2 For 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 sufficiently 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.

coffee, instant coffee, flavored coffee or any other object may damage  
the machine.  
9 Put back the coffee bean hopper lid on the coffee bean hopper.

Measuring and Programming Water Hardness  
Water hardness measuring is very important in order to define the descal-  
ing frequency and to install the “INTENZA+water filter (for more detail on  
the water filter, see next chapter).  
To measure the 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.  
3 Check how many squares have changed to the color red and then refer  
to the table.  
Note:  
The numbers on the water hardness test strip correspond to the water  
hardness adjustment settings.  
More precisely:  
1 = 1 (very soft water)  
2 = 2 (soft water)  
3 = 3 (hard water)  
4 = 4 (very hard water)  
The letters correspond to the references that are located at the base of the  
“INTENZA+water filter (see next chapter).  
4 Press the “ button and scroll the pages by pressing the “ button  
until the following icon is displayed.  
Note:  
The machine is supplied with a standard water hardness setting, suitable  
for most types of water.

7 Press the “  
button to exit the programming MENU. The machine  
shows this display and is ready to brew.  
“INTENZA+Water Filter Installation  
We recommend that you install the “INTENZA+water filter as this prevents  
limescale build-up in your machine and preserves a more intense aroma of  
your coffee.  
The “INTENZA+water filter 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 espresso/coffee, so it’s important to always  
have it professionally filtered. Using the “INTENZA+water filter will prevent  
mineral deposits from building up and improve your water quality.  
1 Remove the small white filter from the water tank and store it in a dry  
place.  
2 Remove the “INTENZA+” water filter 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.

formed (see previous chapter) and indicated on the base of the filter:  
A = soft water – equals 1 or 2 on the test strip  
B = hard water (standard) – equals 3 on the test strip  
C = very hard water – equals 4 on the test strip  
4 Put the “INTENZA+” water filter into the empty water tank. Press it  
down until it cannot move any further.  
5 Fill the water tank with fresh water and reinsert it into the machine.

ADJUSTMENTS  
The machine allows for certain adjustments so that you can brew the best  
tasting coffee possible.  
Saeco Adapting System  
Coffee 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 coffee beans available on the  
market except for flavored coffee beans.  
The machine automatically adjusts itself after brewing several cups of  
coffee to optimize the extraction of the coffee to the compactness of the  
ground coffee.  
Adjusting the Ceramic Coffee Grinder  
Ceramic coffee grinders always guarantee accurate and perfect grinding  
and coarseness for every coffee speciality.  
This technology provides for full aroma preservation, delivering the truly  
Italian taste in every cup.  
Warning:  
The ceramic coffee grinder contains moving parts that may be danger-  
ous. Do not insert fingers or other objects. Only adjust the ceramic  
coffee grinder using the grinder adjustment key.

DESCALING  
The descaling process takes approx. 35 minutes.  
Limescale builds up inside the machine during use. It needs to be removed  
regularly as it may clog the water and coffee circuit of your machine. The  
machine tells you when descaling is needed. If the machine display shows  
the CALC CLEAN icon, it means that you need to descale it.  
Caution:  
Not doing this will ultimately make your machine stop working prop-  
erly, and in this case repair is NOT covered by your warranty.  
Always use the specially formulated descaling solution, since it has been  
designed to optimize machine performance.  
The descaling solution can be purchased separately. For further details,  
please refer to the maintenance products page in this manual.  
Warning:  
Never drink the descaling solution or any products dispensed until the  
cycle has been carried out to the end. Never use vinegar as a descaling  
solution.  
Note:  
During the descaling cycle do not switch off the machine. If the machine  
has been switched off, it will continue the descaling from the point at  
which it was interrupted the next time it is turned on.  
To execute the descaling cycle, follow the steps below:

ENERGY SAVING  
Stand-by  
The Saeco full automatic espresso machine is designed for energy saving  
proven by the Class A energy label.  
After 30 minutes of inactivity, the machine turns off automatically (unless  
a different stand-by time has been programmed). If a product has been  
brewed the machine performs a rinse cycle.  
In stand-by mode, the energy consumption is below 1Wh.  
To turn on the machine, press the “ ” button (if power button on the  
back of the machine is set to “I”). If the boiler is cold the machine performs  
a rinse cycle.
