•(Fig. 5A) - Insert the plug into the socket located on the back of the machine.

•(Fig. 5B) - Insert the plug of the other end of the power cord into a wall socket with suitable power voltage.

•Make sure control dial (17) is on "" position; if this is not the case, set it to that position.

•(Fig. 6) - Simply press the ON/OFF button (16) to turn the machine on; the warning light (18) will begin to blink rapidly indicating that the water circuit must be primed.

4.4Priming the Water Circuit

•(Fig.7) - To prime the water circuit, place a container below the steam wand (Pannarello for Plus version)

•(Fig. 9) - Turn the control dial (17) clockwise to set it to the "" position and wait.

When water regularly comes out and the warning light

(18)will blink slowly, indicating that you can turn off the control dial, rotate the control dial counter-clockwise to set it back to the "" position.

•At this point the temperature light (19) begins to blink slowly, indicating that the machine is in warm-up mode.

Note: Before starting the machine after long periods of inactivity or if the water tank has been completely emptied, it is recommended that

the circuit be primed.

When warm-up is complete, the machine performs a rinse cycle of the internal circuits

(see section 4.4).

•When the above steps are complete, the machine is ready for use.

•To brew coffee, dispense hot water or steam, and for a proper use of the machine, carefully follow the

instructions provided.

4.5Rinse/Self-Cleaning Cycle

This cycle rinses the coffee circuits with fresh water.

The rinse/self-cleaning cycle is carried out:

•When the machine is turned on (with cold boiler)

•After priming the water circuit (with cold boiler)

•During the warm-up phase (if a coffee product has been brewed)

•When the machine is turned off (if a coffee product has been brewed)

Note: Place a container beneath the dispen- sing spout (5) before the dispensing starts

(Fig. 8).

A small amount of water will be dispensed which will rinse and heat all the machine components; in this phase the lights will flash counter-clockwise.

Wait for the cycle to finish automatically. You can stop dispensing as well, by pressing either coffee button.

5 ADJUSTMENTS

The machine that you have bought allows for certain adjustments that will permit you to use it to its full potential.

5.1Saeco Adapting System

Coffee is a natural product and its characteristics may change according to its origin, blend and roast. The Saeco coffee machine is equipped with a self-adjusting system that allows the use of all types of coffee beans available on the market (not including flavored or carmelized).

•The machine automatically adjusts itself in order to optimize the extraction of the coffee, ensuring perfect compression of the beans to obtain a creamy espresso coffee that will release all the aromas, regardless of the type of coffee used.

•The optimization process is a learning process that requires the brewing of a certain number of coffees to allow the machine to adjust the compactness of the ground coffee.

•Attention should be given to special blends, which require grinder adjustments in order to optimize the extraction of the coffee (see section 5.2).
