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:

The separate quick start guide for first installation and first use.
This user manual for more detailed information.
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 residues 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). Thoroughly clean the milk container, the milk tubes and the cappuccinatore before first use. We advise you not to clean the cappuccinatore in the dishwasher, to prevent food particles or detergent residues from clogging it.

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:

Shake the filter for about 5 seconds (Fig. 1).
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).
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 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 using the AquaClean filter at any time by following the instructions below.

Tap the Settings icon and then select ‘AquaClean’ (Fig. 4).
Select ‘new’ and when the activation screen appears, press the start/stop button.
Follow the instructions on the screen.

Note: In some situations the machine will tell you that you need to descale the machine before you can install and activate a new AquaClean filter. This is because your machine has to be completely limescale-free before you start to use the AquaClean filter. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Measuring water hardness

During 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’.

Immerse the water hardness test strip in tap water for 1 second. Then wait for 1 minute.
Check how many squares have turned red.
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.

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’ (Fig. 34).
Remove the drip tray and the coffee grounds container, empty them and put them back into place.
Remove the water tank and empty it. Then remove the AquaClean filter.
Pour the whole bottle of Philips descaler in the water tank and then fill it with water up to the CALC CLEAN level. Then place it back into the machine.
Place a large container (1.5 l) under the coffee dispensing spout.
Follow the instructions on the screen to start the descaling procedure. The descaling procedure lasts approx. 15 minutes and consists of a descaling cycle and a rinsing cycle.
Once the descaling cycle is finished, you need to rinse the water tank and water circuit. Follow the instructions on the screen.
Place a new AquaClean filter in the water tank and reactivate the AquaClean filter in the menu.

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:

Empty and rinse the water tank thoroughly.
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.
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.

If you are unable to solve the problem, contact the Consumer Care Center in your country. For contact details, see the warranty leaflet.

Problem	Cause	Solution
The drip tray fills up quickly.	This is normal. The machine uses water to rinse the internal circuit and brew group. Some water flows through the internal system directly into the drip tray.	Empty the drip tray every day or as soon as the red ‘drip tray full’ indicator pops up through the drip tray (Fig. 26). Place a cup under the dispensing spout to collect rinsing water.
The machine is in DEMO mode.	You pressed the standby button for more than 8 seconds.	Switch the machine off and then on again with the main switch on the back of the machine.
The ‘coffee grounds container full’ icon remains displayed.	You emptied the coffee grounds container while the machine was switched off.	Always empty the coffee grounds container while the machine is switched on. If you empty the coffee grounds container when the machine is switched off, the coffee cycle counter is not reset.
	You placed back the coffee grounds container too fast.	Do not place back the coffee grounds container until the screen prompts you to put it back.
The ‘coffee grounds container full’ icon is displayed even though the container is not full.	The machine did not reset the counter the last time you emptied the coffee grounds container.	Always wait approx. 5 seconds when you place back the coffee grounds container. In this way the coffee grounds counter will be reset to zero.
		Always empty the coffee grounds container while the machine is switched on. If you empty the coffee grounds container when the machine is switched off, the coffee grounds counter will not be reset.
I cannot remove the brew group.	The brew group is not in the correct position.	Reset the machine in the following way: place back the drip tray and the coffee grounds container. Then close the service door and switch the machine off and back on again. Try again to remove the brew group.
	You have not removed the coffee grounds container.	Remove the coffee grounds container before you remove the brew group.
I cannot insert the brew group.	The brew group is not in the correct position.	Reset the machine in the following way: place back the drip tray and the coffee grounds container. Leave the brew group out. Close the service door and switch the machine on and off. Then put the brew group in the correct position and reinsert it into in the machine (see Reinserting the brew group’).
The coffee is watery.	The brew group is dirty or needs to be lubricated.	Clean and lubricate the brew group.
	The grinder is set to a too coarse setting.	Set the grinder to a finer (lower) setting.
	The coffee settings have been adjusted.	Select your coffee drink and adjust the settings to a stronger coffee.
	The machine is performing its self-adjustment procedure after a change in grinder settings or bean types.	Brew a few cups of coffee.
The coffee is not hot enough.	The cups you use are cold.	Preheat the cups by rinsing them with hot water.
	The temperature is set too low. Check the menu settings.	Set the temperature to ‘high’ in the menu.
	You added milk.	Whether the milk you add is warm or cold, it always decreases the temperature of the coffee to some extent.
Coffee does not come out or coffee comes out slowly.	The AquaClean filter was not prepared properly for installation or it is clogged.	Remove the AquaClean filter and try to brew a coffee again. If this works, make sure the AquaClean filter is prepared properly before you place it back. Place back the prepared filter. If this still does not work, the filter might be clogged and needs to be replaced.
	The grinder is set to a too fine setting.	Set the grinder to a coarser (higher) setting.
	The brew group is dirty.	Clean the brew group.
	The coffee dispensing spout is dirty.	Clean the coffee dispensing spout and its holes with a needle.
	The machine circuit is blocked by limescale.	Descale the machine.
The milk does not froth.	The internal cappuccinatore is dirty or not inserted correctly.	Clean the internal cappuccinatore and make sure that you position and insert it correctly (see ‘Cleaning the internal cappuccinatore under the tap’).
	The type of milk used is not suitable for frothing.	Different types of milk result in different amounts of froth and different froth qualities. We have tested the following milk types which proved to deliver a good milk froth result: semi-skimmed or full-fat cow’s milk, soy milk and lactosefree milk.
The milk is splashing.	The milk you use is not cold enough.	Make sure you use cold milk coming directly from the fridge.
	The flexible milk tube is not connected properly.	Open the door of the coffee dispensing spout (Fig. 8) and check if the flexible milk tube is fully connected to the cappuccinatore (Fig. 9). Note that the cappuccinatore and milk tubes may be hot. Let the cappuccinatore and the tubes cool down before you touch them.
	The cappuccinatore and milk tubes are not clean.	Remove and disassemble the internal cappuccinatore (see ‘Cleaning the internal cappuccinatore under the tap’). Rinse all parts under the tap. For a thorough cleaning, use the Philips milk circuit cleaner and perform the DEEP MILK CLEAN procedure via the cleaning ( ) menu. Note that if the parts have been cleaned in the dishwasher, they may have become clogged by food particles or detergent residues. A visual check that they are not obstructed is also recommended.
		We advise you to perform the HygieSteam program every day: 1) Press ‘Clean‘ on the control panel. 2) Select ‘HygieSteam’. 3) Press the start button to start the process, then confirm all steps on the display.
	The milk tubes are clogged.	Always store the milk container without the milk tubes in the refrigerator. Leftover milk could accumulate within the milk tubes and block the flow of milk going through the tubes. Rinse the milk tubes before storage.
The machine seems to be leaking.	The machine uses water to rinse the internal circuit and brew group. Some water flows through the internal system directly into the drip tray.	Empty the drip tray every day or as soon as the ‘drip tray full’ indicator pops up through the drip tray cover (Fig. 26). Place a cup under the dispensing spout to collect rinsing water.
	The drip tray is too full and has overflowed which makes it look like the machine is leaking.	Empty the drip tray every day or as soon as the ‘drip tray full’ indicator pops up through the drip tray cover (Fig. 26). Place a cup under the dispensing spout to collect rinsing water.
	The machine is not placed on a horizontal surface.	Place the machine on a horizontal surface so that the ‘drip tray full’ indicator works properly.
I cannot activate the AquaClean filter and the machine asks for descaling.	The filter has not been replaced in time after the AquaClean filter icon flashed and the capacity dropped to 0%.	Descale your machine first and then install the AquaClean filter.

Problem	Cause	Solution
	You did not install the AquaClean filter during first installation, but after having brewed approx. 25 coffees (based on 100ml/3oz cups). The machine has to be completely limescale-free before you install the AquaClean filter.	First descale the machine and then install a new AquaClean filter. After descaling, the filter counter is reset to 0/8. Always confirm filter activation in the machine menu. Also do this after filter replacement.
The new water filter does not fit.	You are trying to install another filter than the AquaClean filter.	Only the AquaClean filter fits into the machine.
The machine is making a noise.	It is normal that your machine makes noise during use.	If the machine starts to make a different kind of noise, clean the brew group and lubricate it (see ‘Lubricating the brew group’).
	The AquaClean filter was not prepared properly and air is now drawn into the machine.	Remove the AquaClean filter from the water tank. Shake the filter for about 5 seconds. Immerse the filter upside down in a jug with cold water for at least 30 seconds. Wait until no more air bubbles come out. Place the prepared AquaClean filter back into the water tank. Then dispense 2-3 cups of hot water.
