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 the colour to 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).

coffee.
The INTENZA+ water filter can be purchased separately. Please refer to the
maintenance product page in this user manual for further details.
Water is a crucial part of every espresso, so it’s most 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.

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 (not for caramelized beans).
The machine automatically adjusts itself after brewing several cups of cof-
fee to optimise the extraction of the coffee in relation 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.
You can adjust the ceramic grinders to set the coffee grinding to your
personal taste.
Warning:
Only turn the grinder adjustment knob inside the coffee bean hopper
when the ceramic coffee grinder is in use.
This adjustment can be carried out by pressing and turning the grinder
adjustment knob inside the coffee bean hopper, using the coffee grinder
adjustment key provided with the machine.
ENGLISH 21
1 Press and turn the grinder adjustment knob one notch at a time. You
will taste the difference after brewing 2-3 cups of coffee.
2 The reference marks inside the coffee bean hopper indicate the grind
setting. There are 5 different grind settings to choose from position 1
for coarse grind - lighter taste to position 2 for fine grind - bolder taste
When you adjust the ceramic coffee grinder to a finer setting, your coffee
will taste stronger. For a milder coffee taste, adjust the ceramic coffee
grinder to a coarser setting.
2
