• 20 •
• Make sure control dial is on “ ” posi-
tion; if this is not the case, set it to that
position.
• Simply press the ON/OFF button to
turn the machine on; the “ “ light will
begin to blink rapidly indicating that
the water circuit must be primed.
Note: Before starting the
machine for the first time,
prime the water circuit.
Priming the Water Circuit
• To prime the water circuit, place a
container under the hot water / steam
wand.
• Turn the control dial clockwise to set it
to the “
” position and wait.
When water steadily comes out and the
“ “ light will blink slowly - indicating
that the knob can be turned off - rotate
the control dial counter-clockwise to set
it back to the “ ” position.
• At this point the “ “ light begins to
blink slowly, indicating that the ma-
chine is in warm-up mode.
When warm-up is complete,
the machine performs a rinse
cycle of the internal circuits.
• When the above steps are complete,
check that the “ “ light is on steady.
The machine is now ready for use.
• To brew coff ee, dispense hot water or
steam, and for a proper use of the ma-
chine, carefully follow the instructions
provided.
Rinse/Self-Cleaning Cycle
This cycle will rinse the internal 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 standby preparation phase
(if a coff ee product has been brewed)
• During the turning off phase after
pressing the ON/OFF button (if a coff ee
product has been brewed).

Note: Before dispensing,
place a container beneath
the dispensing spout.
A small amount of water will be dispensed
which will rinse and heat all the machine
components; in this phase the indicator
lights fl ash counter-clockwise.
Wait for the cycle to fi nish automatically.
You can stop dispensing as well, by pres-
sing either coff ee button.
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 coff ee
machine is equipped with a self-adjusting
system that allows the use of all types of
coff ee beans available on the market (non
caramelized).
• The machine automatically adjusts
itself in order to optimize the extrac-
tion of the coffee, ensuring perfect
compression of the beans to obtain a
creamy espresso coff ee that will release
all the aromas, regardless of the type of
coff ee used.
• The optimization process is a learning
process that requires the brewing of a
certain number of coff ees to allow the
machine to adjust the compactness of
the ground coff ee.
• Attention should be given to spe-
cial blends, which require grinder
adjustments in order to optimize the
extraction of the coff ee (see section
“Coff ee Grinder Adjustment”).
