• (Fig.2) - Rinse and fill it with fresh drinking water, taking care not to overfill it.
• (Fig.3) - Re-insert the tank into its seat and re-position the water suction tube.

Fill the tank with only fresh, non-sparkling, drinking water. Hot water or any other liquid may damage the tank. Do not switch on the machine with empty tank: Make sure there is enough water in the tank.

4.5 Priming the Water Circuit

Before starting up the machine, after a long period of inactivity and whenever the tank is empty, the machine's water circuit must be primed.

• (Fig.4B) - Press the power button (2). The power light (3) will turn on.
• (Fig.5) - Place a container under the steam spout. Open the hot water/steam knob (7) by turning it counterclockwise.

• (Fig.13) - Preheat the portafilter by pressing the brew button (4) until some water pours out of the portafilter. This operation is only necessary for the first coffee.
  After some water has flowed out, press the brew button (4) again to stop hot water dispensing.
• (Fig.15) - Remove the portafilter from the machine by turning it from right to left and drain any water remaining in the portafilter. As the machine is fitted with the special portafilter (14), there is no need to change the filter when making one or two coffees.
• (Fig.8B)- Add 1 or 2 scoops of ground coffee to the filter for one or two coffees, respectively. Clean any coffee residues from the edge of the portafilter.
• (Fig.10) - Insert the portafilter (14) into the brew unit from the bottom (8).

• (Fig. 13) - Press the brew button (4).
• When the desired quantity of coffee has been reached,

press the brew button again (4) to stop the coffee brewing and remove the cups of coffee (Fig. 14).

• (Fig.15) - Wait a few seconds after brewing, then remove the portafilter and empty the coffee grounds.

Note: If a small quantity of water remains in the portafilter; this is normal and is due to the filter features.

Note for cleaning: Keep the ground coffee filter basket clean by removing it from the portafilter; ash it with running water (see Fig. 16).

5.2 Using Coffee Pods

• (Fig.8A) - Remove the ground coffee filter (15) from the portafilter (14) by pulling it upwards.

• (Fig.15) - Wait a few seconds after brewing, then remove the portafilter and dispose of the used pod.

Note for cleaning: Keep the pod filter clean by removing it from the portafilter; then wash it with a gung water (see Fig. 16).

6 TIPS FOR CHOOSING COFFEE

As a general rule, any type of coffee available on the market can be used. However, coffee is a natural product, and its flavour changes according to its origin and blend. Therefore, it is a good idea to try different types of coffee in order to find the most suited to your personal taste. For best results, we recommend using blends which are made especially for espresso coffee machines. Coffee should always flow out of the portafilter, and it should not dispense with a dripping effect. The brewing speed can be modified by slightly changing the amount of coffee in the filter and/or using a different coffee grind.

When making coffee from pods, Saeco recommends using single-dose coffee pods marked E.S.E. for a great-tasting espresso and an easy clean-up.

Danger of burns! Brewing may be preceded by small jets of hot water. The spout can reach high tatures: Never touch it with bare hands.

• (Fig.4B) - If the machine is off, switch it on by means of the power button (2). The power light (3) will illuminate.
• Wait until the machine ready light (5) turns on.
• (Fig.17) - Place a container or a cup under the steam spout (Pannarello). Open the knob (7).
• (Fig. 18) - Press the brew button (4).
• When the desired amount of hot water has been dispensed, press the brew button (4) again.
• (Fig.19) - Close the knob (7), then remove the hot water container.

8 STEAM/CAPPUCCINO

Danger of burns! Brewing may be preceded by small jets of hot water. The spout can reach high tatures: Never touch it with bare hands.

• (Fig.4B) - If the machine is off, switch it on by means of the power button (2). The power light (3) will illuminate.
• Wait until the machine ready light (5) turns on.

• (Fig.20) - Press the steam button (6). The machine ready light (5) turns off.

• Wait until the machine ready light (5) turns on again. The machine is now ready to dispense steam.

• (Fig.17) - Insert a container below the steam spout and open the knob (7) for a few seconds, so that any residual water flows out of the steam spout (Pannarello). Wait until there is a steady jet of steam coming out of the spout.
  (Fig.19) - Close the knob (7) and remove the container.
• Fill 1/3 of a frothing pitcher or large mug with cold milk.

i Use cold milk to get better results when frothing. Milk with higher fat content will produce thicker froth.

• (Fig.21) - Immerse the Pannarello spout in the milk and open the knob (7). Rotate the container with slow upward movements so that it warms evenly.
• (Fig.22) - After frothing the milk, close the knob (7), and remove the pitcher/cup with frothed milk.
  (Fig.20) - Press the steam button (6) again.
• Prime the circuit as described in section 4.5 to make the machine ready for use.

The same procedure can be used to heat other beverages.

• (Fig.23) - After steaming/frothing, clean the steam spout thoroughly with a wet cloth, as described in the following section.

9 CLEANING THE MACHINE

Maintenance and cleaning can only be carried out when the machine is cold and disconnected from the power supply.

• Do not immerse the machine in water or place any of its parts in a dishwasher.
• Do not use alcohol-based cleansers, solvents and/or aggressive chemical agents.
  We recommend cleaning the water tank and refilling it with fresh water daily.
• (Fig.23) - After frothing milk, dispense a small quantity of hot water to clean the inside of the steam spout. Use a soft, dampened cloth to clean the outside of the Pannarello frother.
• (Fig.24) - Empty and clean the drip tray daily.

• Use a soft, dampened cloth to clean the appliance.
  (Fig.16) - To clean the portafilter proceed as follows:

• Remove the filter, wash it thoroughly with hot water.

• Wash the inside of the portafilter thoroughly with running water.
• Do not dry the machine and/or its components using a microwave and/or conventional oven.

10 DESCALING THE MACHINE

Limescale is a result of mineral deposits from water.

This normally builds up with the use of the appliance.

Descaling is necessary every 2-3 working months and/or when you notice any reduction in water flow.

You can use a non-toxic and/or non-harmful.
I
descaling product for coffee machines,
commonly available in retail stores. We recommend
using Saeco descending solution.

Warning! Do not use vinegar or lemon juice as a descaler.

• Remove and empty the water tank.
• (Fig.2) - Mix the descending solution with water as specified on the packet of solution, and fill the water tank. Fit the tank into the machine.
• (Fig.4B) - Switch on the machine by pressing the power button (2).
• (Fig.5) - Place a container under the steam spout.
• Open the knob (7) and press the brew button (4) to dispense water at intervals (one cup at a time). Press the button (4) again to stop brewing, then close the knob (7).
• (Fig.4B) - During each interval allow the descending solution to sit for about 10-15 minutes, switching off the machine by means of the power button (2). Empty the container.
• (Fig.2) - When the descending solution is finished, remove the water tank, rinse and fill it with fresh drinking water.
• (Fig.3; Fig.5) - Re-insert the tank into its housing. Open the knob (7) and press the button (4) to empty 2/3 of the water. Press the brew button (4) again and close the steam knob (7) clockwise to stop dispensing.
• Let the machine warm up and empty the water tank as described above.

If you are using a descending product other than the one recommended, it is important that you carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions detailed on the package of the descending product.
