Special function | Purpose |
With CoffeeMaestro you can personalize your coffee by selecting a pre-set taste profile (Delicato, Intenso, Forte) for your beverage instead of changing the settings yourself. | |
HygieSteam function automatically cleans the milk system, removing microorganisms: use it after brewing cappuccino or other milk-based drinks. | |
Our durable grinder is made from 100% ceramic to be exceptionally hard and precise. It can be adjusted to your taste with 12-step levels. |
To brew 2 coffees at the same time, tap the drink icon twice or select the 2x icon scrolling the dedicated bar.
Do not use caramelized or flavored coffee beans.
The machine allows you to adjust the settings of a drink to your own preference and to store the adjusted drink in a personal profile. The different profiles have different colors.
Your machine offers the possibility to select taste profiles instead of adjusting all settings separately with the CoffeeEqualizer function. You can choose between Delicato, Intenso and Forte. To select a CoffeeMaestro taste profile:
After selecting a drink, the CoffeeEqualizer function is activated automatically. You can use the up and down arrows to adjust the following settings:
Note: It depends on the drink you choose which settings you can adjust.
You can select a profile and store a recipe using the profiles icon.
You can always restore the factory settings of the machine (see Restoring factory settings).
Your machine is equipped with a guest profile. When the guest profile is selected, the profile icon is off. When you select this profile, you can still personalize the settings to your own preference but the recipes you brew will not be stored.
Your machine offers you the possibility to add an extra shot of Ristretto to your coffee and milk drinks, for example if you want to have a stronger coffee.
When you have selected the ExtraShot function, you can only brew one coffee at the time.
We advise you to adjust the water hardness setting to the water hardness level in your region for optimal performance and a longer lifetime of the machine. This also prevents you from having to descale the machine too often. The default water hardness setting is 4: hard water.
Use the water hardness test strip supplied in the box to determine the water hardness in your region:
Set the machine to the correct water hardness:
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).
You can only adjust the grind setting when the machine is grinding coffee beans. You need to brew 2 to 3 drinks before you can taste the full difference.
Do not turn the grind setting knob more than one notch at a time to prevent damage to the grinder.
By tapping the Settings icon you can adjust the following machine settings:
The machine offers you the possibility to restore the factory settings at any moment.
The following factory settings are restored to default: water hardness, standby time, display brightness, sound, front illumination, profiles.
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 authorized service centers.
When the AquaClean is active, the status of the AquaClean filter is always visible on the screen as a percentage.
(5 min.)
The machine does not automatically detect that a filter has been placed in the water tank. Therefore you need to activate each new AquaClean water filter that you install in the 'Clean' menu.
When the machine stops showing the filter activation message, you can still activate an AquaClean water filter, but you will need to descale the machine first.
Your machine has to be completely limescale-free before you start using the AquaClean water filter.
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.
(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. As long as the AquaClean status indicator is shown on the display, you can replace the filter without having to descale the machine first. If you do not replace the AquaClean water filter in time, the AquaClean indicator goes out after some time. In that case 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:
Replace the AquaClean water filter at least every 3 months, even if the machine does not yet indicate that replacement is required.
Go to www.saeco.com/care for detailed video instructions on how to remove, insert and clean the brew group.
When you remove the brew group from the machine, make sure to empty the drip tray and the coffee grounds container.
Before you slide the brew group back into the machine, make sure it is in the correct position.
Regular cleaning and maintenance keeps your machine in top condition and ensures good-tasting coffee for a long time with a steady coffee flow.

Visit www.saeco.com/care for detailed video instructions.
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.
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:
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 |
There are some coffee residues inside my new coffee machine. | This machine has been tested with coffee. | Although it has been carefully cleaned, there may be some coffee residues left. However, the machine is absolutely new. |
The drip tray fills up quickly / there is always some water in the drip tray. | 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 daily or as soon as the red 'drip tray full' indicator pops up through the drip tray cover. Tip: place a cup under the dispensing spout to collect rinsing water that comes out of it. |
The 'empty coffee grounds container' icon remains on. | You emptied the coffee grounds container while the machine was unplugged from the wall socket, or you placed it back too fast. | Remove the coffee grounds container, wait at least 5 seconds and then insert it again. |
The machine prompts to empty the coffee grounds container 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 pucks counter will be reset to zero and the number of coffee pucks is counted correctly. |
The coffee grounds container is too full and the 'empty coffee grounds container' icon did not appear on the display. | You removed the drip tray without emptying the coffee grounds container. | When you remove the drip tray, also empty the coffee grounds container even if it contains only a few coffee pucks. This ensures that the coffee pucks counter is reset to zero and that the number of coffee pucks is counted correctly. |
I cannot remove the brew group. | The brew group is not in the correct position. | Reset the machine in the following way: close the service door and place back the water tank. Switch the machine off and back on again and wait for the lights in the drink icons to come on. Try to remove the brew group again. See chapter 'Removing and inserting the brew group' for step-bystep instructions. |
I cannot insert the brew group. | The brew group is not in the correct position. | Reset the machine in the following way: close the service door and place back the water tank. Leave the brew group out. Switch off the machine and unplug it. Wait for 30 seconds and then plug the machine back in, switch it on and wait for the lights in the drink icons to come on. Then put the brew group in the correct position and reinsert it into the machine. See chapter 'Removing and inserting the brew group' for step- by-step instructions. |
The coffee is watery. | The brew group is dirty or needs to be lubricated. | Remove the brew group, rinse it under the tap and leave it to dry. Then lubricate the moving parts (see Lubricating the brew group). |
The machine is performing its self-adjustment procedure. This procedure is started automatically when you use the machine for the first time, when you change to another type of coffee beans or after a long period of non-use. | Brew 5 cups of coffee initially to allow the machine to complete its self-adjustment procedure. | |
The grinder is set to a too coarse setting. | Set the grinder to a finer (lower) setting. Brew 2 to 3 drinks to be able to taste the full difference. | |
The coffee is not hot enough | The temperature is set too low. | Set the temperature to the maximum setting. |
A cold cup reduces the temperature of the drink. | Preheat the cups by rinsing them with hot water. | |
Adding milk reduces the temperature of the drink. | Regardless of whether you add hot or cold milk, adding milk always reduces the temperature of the coffee. Preheat the cups by rinsing them with hot water. | |
Coffee does not come out or coffee comes out slowly. | The AquaClean water filter was not prepared properly for installation. | Remove the AquaClean filter and dispense some hot water. If this works, the AquaClean filter was not installed properly. Reinstall and activate the AquaClean filter and follow all steps in chapter 'AquaClean water filter'. |
After a long period of non-use, you need to prepare the AquaClean water filter for use again and dispense 2-3 cups of hot water. | ||
The AquaClean water filter is clogged. | Replace the AquaClean water filter every 3 months. A filter that is older than 3 months can become clogged. | |
The grinder is set to a too fine setting. | Set the grinder to a coarser (higher) setting. Note that this will impact the coffee taste. | |
The brew group is dirty. | Remove the brew group and rinse it under the tap (see Cleaning the brew group under the tap). | |
The coffee dispensing spout is dirty. | Clean the coffee dispensing spout and its holes with a pipe cleaner or needle. | |
The pre-ground coffee compartment is clogged | Switch off the machine and remove the brew group. Open the lid of the preground coffee compartment and insert the spoon handle into it. Move the handle up and down until the clogged ground coffee falls down. | |
The machine circuit is blocked by limescale. | Descale the machine with Philips descaler (see Descaling procedure). Always descale when the machine prompts you. | |
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. | |
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 and check if the flexible milk tube is fully connected to the cappuccinatore. 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 thorough cleaning, use 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:
| ||
The milk tubes are clogged. | Always store the milk container without the milk tubes in the refrigerator. Leftover milk could accumulate inside the milk tubes and block the flow of milk 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. This water flows through the internal system directly into the drip tray. This is normal. | Empty the drip tray every day or as soon as the 'drip tray full' indicator pops up through the drip tray cover. Tip: Place a cup under the dispensing spout to collect rinsing water and reduce the amount of water in the drip tray. |
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. | |
The water tank is not fully inserted, some water is leaking out of the water tank and air is drawn into the machine. | Make sure the water tank is in the correct position: remove it and reinsert it into the machine as far as possible. | |
The brew group is dirty/clogged. | Rinse the brew group. | |
The machine is not placed on a horizontal surface. | Place the machine on a horizontal surface so that the drip tray does not overflow and the 'drip tray full' indicator works properly. | |
I cannot activate the AquaClean water filter and the machine asks for descaling. | The filter has not been installed or replaced in time after the screen shows the AquaClean reminder. This means your machine is not completely free of limescale anymore. | Descale your machine first and then install the AquaClean water filter. |
The new water filter does not fit. | You are trying to install another filter than the AquaClean water filter. | Only the AquaClean water filter fits into the machine. |
The rubber ring on the AquaClean water filter is not in place. | Place back the rubber ring on the AquaClean water filter. | |
The machine is making a loud noise. | It is normal that your machine makes some 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 water filter was not prepared properly and air is now drawn into the machine. | Remove the AquaClean water filter from the water tank and prepare it for use properly before you place it back. See chapter 'AquaClean water filter' for stepby-step instructions. | |
The water tank is not fully inserted and air is drawn into the machine. | Make sure the water tank is in the correct position: remove it and reinsert it by pushing it into the machine as far as possible. |
