Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a Saeco full-automatic coffee machine! To fully benefit from the support that Saeco offers, please register your product at www.saeco.com/care.
Read the separate safety booklet carefully before you use the machine for the first time and save it for future reference.
To help you get the best out of your coffee machine, Saeco offers full support in 3 different ways:

  1. The separate quick start guide for the first installation and first use.
  2. This user manual is for more detailed information.
  3. Online support and movies: scan the QR code on the front page or visit www.saeco.com/care

Note: This machine has been tested with coffee. Although it has been carefully cleaned, there may be some coffee residue left. We guarantee, however, that the machine is absolutely new.

First installation

To prepare your coffee machine for use, you need to perform a few simple steps such as filling the water circuit and activating the AquaClean filter. These steps are shown in the separate quick start guide.
For the best-tasting coffee, you need to brew 5 coffees initially to allow the machine to complete its self-adjustment.
The machine has been set up to get the best taste out of your coffee beans. Therefore we advise you not to adjust the grinder settings until you have brewed 100-150 cups (approx. 1 month of usage).

AquaClean filter

The AquaClean filter is designed to reduce limescale deposits in your coffee machine and provide filtered water to preserve the aroma and flavor of each cup of coffee. If you use a series of 8 AquaClean filters as indicated by the machine and in this user manual, you don’t have to descale your machine for up to 5000 cups. With each filter you can enjoy up to 625 cups, depending on the selected coffee varieties and the rinsing and cleaning frequencies.

Preparing the AquaClean filter for activation
Before you place the AquaClean filter in the water tank, you need to prepare it for use:

  1. Shake the filter for about 5 seconds (Fig. 1).
  2. Fully immerse the filter upside down in a jug with cold water for at least 30 seconds. Wait until no more air bubbles come out (Fig. 2).
  3. Push the filter onto the filter connected to the lowest possible point. (Fig. 3)

Activating the AquaClean filter
You need to activate every new AquaClean filter that you use. By activating the AquaClean filter, the machine monitors the capacity of the AquaClean filter and the number of filters used. There are 3 ways to activate the AquaClean filter.

  1. Activating the AquaClean filter during the first installation
    After switching on for the first time, the machine guides you through the first installation steps such as filling the water tank, filling the water circuit, and activating the AquaClean filter. Simply follow the instructions on the screen.

  2. Activating the AquaClean filter when prompted
    Replace the AquaClean filter when the screen shows the message ‘Replace AquaClean filter?’. Then follow the instructions on the screen to activate the filter properly.
    Replace the AquaClean filter at least every 3 months, even if the machine has not yet indicated that replacement is required.

  3. Activating the AquaClean filter at any other time

You can start (re)using the AquaClean filter at any time by following the instructions below.

  1. Tap the Settings icon and use the up and down icons to select ‘AquaClean’ (Fig. 4).
  2. Tap the OK icon. When the activation screen appears, tap the OK icon again.
  3.  Follow the instructions on the screen.

Measuring water hardness

During the first installation, you have to set the water hardness. Follow the steps on the screen and use the water hardness test strip supplied. To set the water hardness later, tap the Settings icon and select ‘water hardness’.

  1. Immerse the water hardness test strip in tap water for 1 second. Then wait for 1 minute.
  2. Check how many squares have turned red.
  3. Select the appropriate water hardness setting and tap the OK icon to confirm.

Descaling procedure

Please use Philips descaler only. Under no circumstances should you use a descaler based on sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfamic, or acetic acid (vinegar) as this may damage the water circuit in your machine and not dissolve the limescale properly. Not using the Philips descaler will void your warranty. Failure to descale the appliance will also void your warranty. You can buy Philips descaling solution in the online shop at www.saeco.com/care.

  1. When the machine asks you to descale it, press the start/stop button to start. To start descaling without being prompted by the machine, tap the Clean icon and select ‘Descale’.
  2. Remove the drip tray and the coffee grounds container, empty them, and put them back into place.
  3. Remove the water tank and empty it. Then remove the AquaClean filter.
  4. Pour the whole bottle of Philips descaler into the water tank and then fill it with water up to the CALC CLEAN level. Then place it back into the machine.
  5. Place a large container (1.5 l) under the coffee dispensing spout.
  6. Place the milk tube on the milk tube holder.
  7. Follow the instructions on the screen to start the descaling procedure. The descaling procedure lasts approx. 30 minutes and consists of a descaling cycle and a rinsing cycle.
  8. Once the descaling cycle is finished, you need to rinse the water tank and water circuit. Follow the instructions on the screen.
  9. Place a new AquaClean filter in the water tank.

Tip: Using the AquaClean filter reduces the need for descaling!

What to do if the descaling procedure is interrupted
You can exit the descaling procedure by pressing the on/off button on the control panel. If the descaling procedure is interrupted before it is completely finished, do the following:

  1. Empty and rinse the water tank thoroughly.
  2. Fill the water tank with fresh water up to the CALC CLEAN level indication and switch the machine back on. The machine will heat up and perform an automatic rinsing cycle.
  3. Before brewing any drinks, perform a manual rinsing cycle. To perform a manual rinsing cycle, first, dispense half a water tank of hot water and then brew 2 cups of pre-ground coffee without adding ground coffee.

Note: If the descaling procedure was not completed, the machine will require another descaling procedure as soon as possible.
