ADJUSTMENTS

The machine that you have bought allows

for certain adjustments that will permit

you to use it to its full potential.

Gaggia Adapting System

Coffee is a natural product and its char-

acteristics may change according to its

origin, blend and roast. The Gaggia co ee

machine is equipped with a self-adjusting

system that allows the use of all types of

co ee beans available on the market (non

caramelized).

• The machine automatically adjusts

itself in order to optimise the extrac-

tion of the coffee, ensuring perfect

compression of the tablet to obtain a

creamy espresso co ee that will release

all the aromas, regardless of the type of

co ee used.

• The optimisation process is a learning

process that requires the brewing of a

certain number of co ees to allow the

machine to adjust the compactness of

the ground co ee.

• Attention should be given to special

blends, which require grinder ad-

justments in order to optimise the

extraction of the co ee (see the “Co ee

Grinder Adjustment” section).

Co ee Grinder Adjustment

Warning! The grinder adjust-

ment knob, inside the co ee

bean hopper, must be turned only

when the grinder is working. Do not

pour ground and/or instant coffee

into the co ee bean hopper.

Do not insert any material

other than co ee beans into

the hopper. The grinder contains

moving parts that may be dangerous.

Therefore, do not insert  ngers and/

or other objects. The grind setting

may only be adjusted using the knob.

Turn o the machine and unplug it

from the socket before carrying out

any type of operation inside the cof-

fee bean hopper. Do not pour co ee

beans when the coffee grinder is

working.

“INTENZA” water filter (op-

tional)

To improve the quality of the used water,

it is advisable to install the water  lter.

Remove the water  lter from its packag-

ing, immerse it vertically (with the open-

ing positioned upwards) in cold water

and delicately press the sides so as to let

the air bubbles out.

Remove the small white filter from the

tank and store it in a dry place sheltered

from dust.

Set the Intenza Aroma System as speci-

 ed on the box.

A = Soft water

B = Medium water (standard)

C = Hard water

Put the water  lter into the empty tank.

Press it until its limit stop.

Fill the tank with fresh drinking water and

reinsert it into the machine.

Dispense the water in the tank by using

the hot water function (see the “Hot wa-

ter dispensing” section).

Fill the water tank again. The machine is

now ready to be used.

Note: If there is no Intenza

water  lter, insert the small

white  lter previously removed into

the water tank.

• 16 •• 16 •

At this point the button “ “ is pro-

grammed; each time it is pressed and

released, the machine will brew the

same amount of co ee that was just pro-

grammed.

The same operation can be repeated for

the “

“ button. If the “ “ or “ “

button is pressed twice to brew coffee,

the machine will brew double the stored

quantity.

Standby

The machine is designed for energy sav-

ing. The machine automatically turns o

after 60 minutes of inactivity.

The “

“ button blinks when the machine

is in stand-by mode.

Note: During the turning o

phase, the machine performs

a rinse cycle, if a co ee product has

been brewed.

Warning: When turning the machine

on after it has been turned com-

pletely off, the machine will be in

stand-by mode

To turn the machine on again simply press

the STAND-BY button (if the power but-

ton is set to “I”). In this case the machine

will go through the rinse cycle only if the

boiler is cold.

Dispensing Spout Adjust-

ment

Most cups on the market can be used

with this co ee machine.

The height of the dispensing spout may

be adjusted to better  t the dimensions

of the cups that you wish to use.

Manually move the dispensing spout up

or down to adjust its height by placing

your  ngers as shown in the  gure.

The recommended positions are:

For use with small cups;

The machine allows slight adjustments to

the co ee grinder to adapt it to the kind

of co ee used.

To make any adjustment, press and turn

the knob inside the co ee bean hopper.

Press and turn the knob by one notch at

a time and brew 2-3 cups of coffee; this

is the only way to notice differences in

grind.

The reference marks inside the coffee

bean hopper indicate the grind setting.

There are 5 different grind settings to

choose from with the following refer-

ences:

Large Mark - Coarse Grind

Small Mark - Fine Grind.

Adjusting the Co ee Length

The machine allows you to adjust the

amount of brewed coffee according to

your taste and/or the size of your cups.

Each time the “ “

or “ “ buttons are

pressed and released, the machine brews

a pre-set amount of coffee, as per fac-

tory settings. This amount may be repro-

grammed to your taste. Each button may

be individually programmed for a speci c
