For online support (frequently asked questions, movies etc.), scan the QR code on the cover of this booklet or visit www.saeco.com/care

Setting the water hardness

Use the water hardness test strip supplied in the box to determine the water hardness in your region:

1. Immerse the water hardness test strip in tap water or hold it under the tap for 1 second.
2. Wait 1 minute. The number of squares on the test strip that turn red indicate the water hardness.

Set the machine to the correct water hardness:

1. Tap the Settings icon and scroll from left to right to select ‘Water hardness’.
2. Select the water hardness level. The number of red squares selected on the display should be the same as the number of red squares on the test strip (Fig. 14).
3. When you have set the correct water hardness, tap the confirmation icon to confirm.

Adjusting the grind setting

You can change the coffee strength with the grind setting knob inside the bean container. The lower the grind setting, the finer the coffee beans are ground and the stronger the coffee becomes. There are 12 different grind settings you can choose from.
The machine has been set up to get the best taste out of your coffee beans. Therefore we advise you not to adjust the grind setting until you have brewed 100-150 cups (approx. 1 month of use).

1. Tap the Beans icon in the main menu.
2. Tap on ¨Grinder¨.
3. Watch the how to video.

Restoring factory settings

The machine offers you the possibility to restore the factory settings at any moment.

1. Tap the Settings icon.
2. Scroll from left to right to select ‘Factory settings’. Confirm by tapping the confirmation icon.
   • The settings are now restored.

AquaClean water filter

Your machine is AquaClean enabled. You can place the AquaClean water filter in the water tank to preserve the taste of your coffee. It also diminishes the need for descaling by reducing limescale build-up in your machine. You can purchase an AquaClean water filter from your local or online retailer or from authorized service centers.

AquaClean filter status indication

The status of the AquaClean filter is always visible in the ‘Status’ menu as a percentage.

• If the status of the AquaClean filter is 10% or less, the screen shows a message for 2 seconds each time you switch on the machine. This message advises you to buy a new filter.
• If the status of the filter is 0%, the machine asks you to replace the AquaClean filter every time you switch on the machine.

Activating the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)

Before activating the AquaClean water filter, it has to be prepared by soaking it in water as described below. If you don’t do this, air might be drawn into the machine instead of water, which makes a lot of noise and prevents the machine from being able to brew coffee.

1. Tap the ‘Status’ icon and scroll from left to right to select ‘AquaClean’.
2. Tap the confirmation icon again when the activation screen appears. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Replacing the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)

After 95 liters of water have flowed through the filter, the filter will cease to work. The AquaClean status indicator drops to 0% to remind you to replace the filter. If you do not replace the AquaClean water filter in time, you can still replace the filter but you first need to descale the machine.
When the AquaClean status indicator drops to 0% or when the machine reminds you to replace the AquaClean filter:

1. take out the old AquaClean water filter.
2. install a new filter and activate it as described in chapter ‘Activating the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)’.

   • If they are not aligned, push down the lever until it is in contact with the base of the brew group (Fig. 20).
2. Make sure that the yellow locking hook on the other side of the brew group is in the correct position.
   • To position the hook correctly, push it upwards until it is in uppermost position (Fig. 21).
3. Slide the brew group back into the machine along the guiding rails on the sides (Fig. 22) until it locks into position with a click (Fig. 23). Do not press the PUSH button.
4. Place back the coffee residues drawer and close the service door.

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 will 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 descaler from your local or online retailer or from authorized service centers.

1. When the machine asks you to descale it, tap the confirmation icon to start. To start descaling without being prompted by the machine, tap the ‘Status’ icon and select ‘Descale’.
2. Remove the drip tray, the coffee grounds container and the HygieSteam container (Fig. 26), 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 (Fig. 41). Then place the water tank back into the machine.
5. Place a large container (1.5 l) under the coffee dispensing spout.
6. Make sure that the HygieSteam container is correctly assembled (Fig. 34) and attached to the machine (Fig. 35). Place the milk tube in 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 and activate it (see ‘Activating the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)’).

What to do if the descaling procedure is interrupted

You can exit the descaling procedure by pressing the on/off icon on the control panel. If the descaling procedure is interrupted before it is completely finished, some descaling liquid may remain in the water tank or the water circuit. In that case, 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.
