Place a cup under the hot water spout/steam wand to collect water dispensed during priming.
Press the 'Standby' button to switch your Saeco espresso machine on.

Espresso machines which are compatible with the AquaClean filter will show the text 'Install or Activate AquaClean Filter?
Always prepare the AquaClean filter before using it. Shake it for 5 seconds, immerse it upside down in a jug with cold water and wait until no air bubbles come out.
Place the filter into the water tank and start the installation. After a correct installation, the 'AquaClean 100%' icon will be visible in the display.
You can adjust the grind settings by the knob inside the bean container. From a fine grind for a full-bodied espresso to a coarse grind for a lighter coffee flavor.
For each coffee recipe you can adjust the strength according to your taste and to the size of your cups with the 'Memo' function.
Press and hold the button you want to adjust until the display shows the 'Memo' icon. Your machine then enters the programming phase and starts to brew the selected coffee. Stop the process by pressing the 'OK' button or the button you are programming. This depends on your espresso machine model.
