Measuring and programming water hardness

Measuring water hardness is very important for defi ning the frequency in which the machine has to be descaled and to install the “INTENZA+” water fi lter (for more detail on the water fi lter see next chapter).

To measure the water hardness follow the steps below:

1 Immerse the water hardness test strip provided with the machine in water for 1 second.

Note:

The test strip can only be used for one measurement.

2 Wait for one minute.

14 ENGLISH

3 Check how many squares have changed the colour to red and then consult 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 fi lter (see next chapter for this).

You can purchase separately the INTENZA+ water fi lter. Please refer to the ordering maintenance products chapter 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 fi ltered. Using the “INTENZA+” water fi lter will prevent mineral deposits from building up and improve your water quality.

1 Remove the small white fi lter from the water tank and store it in a dry place.

2 Remove the “INTENZA+” water fi lter from its packaging, immerse it vertically (with the opening positioned upwards) in cold water and gently press the sides so as to let the air bubbles out.

3 Set the fi lter according to the measurements performed (see previous chapter) and indicated on the base of the fi lter:

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 fi lter into the empty water tank. Press it until it cannot move further down.

ADJUSTMENTS

The machine allows for certain adjustments so that you can brew the best tasting coff ee possible.

Saeco Adapting System

Coff 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 coff ee beans available on the market (not for caramelized beans).

The machine automatically adjusts itself after brewing several cups of coff ee to optimize the extraction of the coff ee to the compactness of the ground coff ee.

Adjusting the ceramic coff ee grinder

Ceramic coff ee grinders always guarantee accurate grinding for every coff ee blend and prevent the beans from overheating.

This provides for full aroma preservation, delivering the truly Italian taste in every cup.

Warning:

The ceramic coff ee grinder contains moving parts that may be dangerous. Therefore, do not insert fi ngers and/or other objects. Turn off the machine by pressing the ON/OFF button and remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any type of operation inside the coff ee bean hopper.

You can adjust the ceramic grinders to set the coff ee grinding to your personal taste.

Warning:

The grinder adjustment knob, inside the coff ee bean hopper, must be turned only when the ceramic coff ee grinder is working.

This adjustment can be carried out by pressing and turning the grinder adjustment knob inside the coff ee bean hopper.

1 Open the lid of the coff ee bean hopper.

ENGLISH 19

2 Press and turn the grinder adjustment knob one notch at a time. You will taste the diff erence after brewing 2-3 cups of espresso.

3 The reference marks on the coff ee bean hopper lid indicate the grind setting. There are 8 diff erent grind settings to choose from:

- Very coarse grind ( ) : lighter taste, for dark roasted coff ee blends

To

When you adjust the ceramic coff ee grinder to a fi ner setting, your coff ee will taste stronger. For a milder coff ee taste, adjust the ceramic coff ee grinder to a coarser setting.

Adjusting coff ee crema and intensity (Saeco Brewing System)

The Saeco Brewing System (SBS) allows you to control the coff ee crema and taste intensity by adjusting the coff ee fl ow speed during the brewing cycle.

- By turning the dial knob counter clock wise you increase the fl ow speed resulting in a milder coff ee intensity and less crema.

- By turning the dial knob clock wise you reduce the fl ow speed resulting in a stronger coff ee intensity and more crema.

Note:

The coff ee fl ow speed may be adjusted while brewing.
