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 char-
acteristics 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 (not
including fl avored or carmelized).
• 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 is able to
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 special
blends, which require grinder adjust-
ments in order to optimize the extrac-
tion of the coff ee (see section "Coff ee
Grinder Adjustment").
Coff ee Grinder Adjustment
Warning! The grinder adjust-
ment knob, inside the coff ee
bean hopper, must be turned only
when the grinder is working. Do not
pour ground and/or instant coffee
into the coff ee bean hopper.
Do not insert any material
other than coff ee beans into
the hopper. The grinder contains
moving parts that may be dangerous.
Therefore, do not insert fi ngers and/
or other objects. Only grind setting by
means of the knob is permitted. Turn
off the machine and unplug it from
the socket before carrying out any
type of operation inside the coff ee
Intenza Water Filter
To improve the quality of the used water,
it is recommended that you install the
water fi lter.
Remove the small white filter from the
tank and store it in a dry place sheltered
from dust.
Remove the water fi lter from its packag-
ing, immerse it vertically (with the open-
ings positioned upwards) in cold water
and gently press its sides so as to let the
air bubbles out.
Set the Intenza Aroma System as specifi ed
on the box.
A = Soft water
B = Medium water (standard)
C = Hard water
Insert the filter in the empty tank. The
reference mark and the groove must
match. Push fi rmly until it is completely
inserted.
Fill the tank with fresh drinking water and
re-insert it into the machine.
Dispense the water in the tank by using
the hot water function (see section “Hot
Water Dispensing”).
Fill the water tank again. The machine is
now ready to be used.
Note: If there is no Intenza
water fi lter, insert the previ-
ously-removed small white fi lter into
the water tank.
