Introduction

These instructions may also help with other Saeco models and with coffee makers from Philips and Gaggia—they are all made by the same manufacturer and have a very similar design.

    • These parts differ in details depending on the model

    • Two screws hold the part, loosen. A seal becomes free, pick up well, better still replace later.

    • Inside is a feather and a small glass ball. Store carefully.

    When putting back the spring and glass ball note that the narrow end of the spring points down

    Was soll man tun, wenn die Brühgruppe festgelaufen ist und keine Bewegung möglich ist? Mit anderen Worten: wie kann ich diese ausbauen?

    Robert de Kok -

    In Schritt 4, Bild 1 ist zu sehen, wie die Torx T10 Schraube am Zulauf (mit etwas Glück) gelöst werden kann. Wenn das möglich ist, kann die Brühgruppe mit etwas Gewalt herausgezogen werden, der Zulauf löst sich und bleibt in der Maschine stecken. Eine andere Möglichkeit ist eventuell, den Saeco-Testmodus (Google hilft) einzuschalten und die Brühgruppe in Ruheposition zu bewegen. Viel Glück!

    when the brewing unit got stuck, what to do in order to take it out?

    Robert de Kok -

    Die Glaskugel ist bei der Demontage rausgefallen und ich habe nicht gesehen, wo genau die war. Kommt die auf die breite Seite der Feder, also nach oben?

    user123 -

    Zuerst kommt die Kugel in den Kolben rein. Dann die Feder mit der spitzen Seite zur Kugel, damit die gut festgehalten wird. Dann den Auslauf drüber, Dichtung nicht vergessen.

    Funktion: Der Kaffee wird von unten her an der Kugel vorbei gedrückt. Die fängt dann an zu vibrieren und erzeugt dadurch den Schaum für die Crema.

    • With a 6mm Allen key (or the key that comes with the machine), the brewing sieve can be unscrewed. It strongly determines the aroma, if it is dirty the coffee tastes bad.

    • He is held in place by four latches. These impress, e.g. with a screwdriver, then the piston can be pushed down.

    • The new sealing ring is already waiting, but first it has to be cleaned properly.

    • Through the hole on the opposite side of the fixing screw can be solved. The inlet is plugged in and held by a latch, which you have to push away.

    • Three screws hold the brew groups together, loosen.

    • The whole mechanics can now be broken down into three big parts. The coffee funnel can stay.

    • That's the trickiest part: you have to lever this lever out of its camp. To do this you drive with a screwdriver between the lever and the carrier and press it really very strong outwards. Now he grabs out - hopefully!

    Make sure you put this part back into the base of the piston when you reassemble it. It sits near the base of the brew group

    • Since the lever is gone you can easily pull out the piston. It has no seal.

    • The lower piston itself has no gasket. But the shaft of the piston slides in an o-ring. which is situated under the brewing chamber. It can be changed, but it´s not easy to do this.

    Do you have some recomendation how to do it (change an o-ring situated under brewing chamber unit)? I cannot find any solution for that.

    Erik Džugan -

    There is a cover over the o-ring which is glued in and must be carefully removed (sometimes it breaks…). Later it must be attached again with special glue. I prefer to replace the brewing chamber with a new (or used) one.

    • That's why we did it. All parts are thoroughly cleaned. For this purpose, a solution of machine detergent is good. (Use rubber gloves!) Clean all channels with pipe cleaners. The brewing sieve is like new again! Allow to dry well.

    • Then apply new gaskets, in particular to the crema valve and piston and lubricate with food-grade grease.

    • Fat also belongs to the bearings of the rocker arm and into the slides, the piston skirt, as well as into the water inlet

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
