position.
• Wait until the light (16) turns on. The machine is now ready
for steam ejection.
• (Fig.18) - Place a container under the steam spout.

cappuccino with cold milk.
Use cold milk to get a better result.
• (Fig.20) - Immerse the steam spout in the milk and open
the knob (4) by turning it anticlockwise. Turn the milk
container with slow upward movements so that it warms
up evenly.
A maximum steam brewing of 60 seconds is
recommended.

If both lights are on and the machine has reached a too
high temperature to brew coffee, prime the circuit as
described in section 4.5 to make the machine ready for
use.
Note: The machine is ready when the "machine
ready" light (15) is permanently on.
Note: If brewing a cappuccino as described is
not possible, prime the circuit as explained in
Section.5, then repeat the procedure.
The same procedure can be used to heat other
beverages.

10 DESCALING
The formation of limescale inside the appliance is
inevitable. It is necessary to descale the machine every
1-2 months of use and/or when you notice a reduction in
the water delivery.
Please use Saeco descaling solution in your
machine (Fig.B). It has been specifically
developed to preserve performance and functionality
throughout the lifetime of the machine and to ensure,
with regular use, a high quality delivered product.
Warning! Do not use vinegar as a descaling
solution.
