Reinserting the brew group
Before you slide the brew group back into the machine, make sure it is in the correct position.
1 Check if the arrow on the yellow cylinder on the side of the brew group is aligned with the black
arrow and N (Fig. 19).
- If they are not aligned, push down the lever until it is in contact with the base of the brew group
(Fig. 20).
2 Make sure that the yellow locking hook on the other side of the brew group is in the correct
position.
- To position the hook correctly, push it upwards until it is in uppermost position (Fig. 21).
3 Slide the brew group back into the machine along the guiding rails on the sides (Fig. 22) until it
locks into position with a click (Fig. 23). Do not press the PUSH button.
4 Place back the coffee residues drawer and close the service door.
Cleaning and maintenance
Your machine will advise you when to perform cleaning and maintenance.
Regular cleaning and maintenance keeps your machine in top condition and ensures good-tasting
coffee for a long time with a steady coffee flow.
Consult the table below for a detailed description of when and how to clean all detachable parts of
the machine. You can find more detailed information and video instructions on www.saeco.com/care.
See figure C for an overview of which parts can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Item
AquaClean filter
The machine does not automatically detect that a filter has been placed in the water tank.
Therefore you need to activate each new AquaClean filter that you install in the 'Status' menu.
Your machine has to be completely limescale-free before you start using the AquaClean filter.
Replace the AquaClean filter at least every 3 months, even if the machine does not yet indicate
that replacement is required.
Brew group
Before you slide the brew group back into the machine, make sure it is in the correct position. The
arrow on the yellow cylinder on the side of the brew group has to be aligned with the black arrow
and N (Fig. 19).
