Brand history

For the first time this brand appears in the second half of the XX century under the name Spaidem Sp. The fact is that Italian manufacturers decided to produce low-end coffee machines for middle-class people. This manufacturer quickly distributed its products throughout Italy thanks to its availability and good quality. However, the Italian company did not stop there and continued to expand its brand. Later, they were renamed Saeco I. G. In 1999, they bought Gaggia. Later in 2010 they enter into a contract with Philips, and the brand again acquires a new name - Philips Saeco. In 2012, it was decided to reduce the brand name to the usual Saeco known to us today. The number of models varies over 10 varieties.

Device types

There are both more budget models, called the classic, and more expensive automatic coffee machines. Their main differences from each other is the presence of various additional functions that are used by ordinary users.

Among the varieties of coffee machines are present and the so-called rozhkovy coffee maker. This machine only works with very fine grinding and is designed exclusively for the preparation of espresso. In the apparatus itself there is a built-in pump, with the help of which it turns out, as a result, a drink with a pronounced aroma and beautiful foam. True, rozhkovy coffee makers have one drawback. It is advisable to change the filter quite often, otherwise the taste of the coffee will quickly deteriorate, and the device will no longer be able to surprise you with a pleasant and invigorating espresso.

Service and Repair

Like all appliances, coffee machines can also break down from time to time. For this reason, it is imperative to carry out maintenance and, if necessary, repair the coffee machine.

To be able to use the coffee machine for a long time, you need to follow the instructions that are written in the passport of the purchased commercial product.

It is necessary to monitor and, if necessary, replace the filter of your device. Otherwise, the taste of the brewed coffee may greatly deteriorate.

It is important to remember that as long as your coffee machine is under warranty, then in no case You cannot take any repair actions yourself. After all, if you climb inside, the warranty on the coffee machine will no longer be valid. However, if the warranty period has passed, and the car gives out some kind of error, then you can take a chance and figure out the very thing. There are no guarantees that the error will be corrected, but you can consider the simplest ones.

For example, the inscription "Decalcify"indicates that the unit needs descaling. Scale - it is the salt of various metals, which are contained in running water. Formed exclusively during boiling and deposited on the walls of the apparatus. Scale eventually disrupts any equipment. therefore It is extremely important to ensure that scale does not form. To do this, it is sometimes enough to use special cleaning accessories that you can buy at any specialty store. In some versions of the coffee machines with the Russian interface, one can come across an inscription decalcification, which means the same thing.

In some models there is a need to process the engine with a special mixture. This lubricant is sold in specialized stores, but it is best to provide this procedure to professionals.

The engine is the heart of the car, and if you do not understand the repair, it is better not to go, because you can irrevocably ruin an expensive machine.

The “Ventilate” error indicates that no water flows through the hydraulic system. Most often this happens because a small amount of air enters it. This is solved by manually passing a small amount of water through the hydraulic system. In the Russian version of the inscription there is no water supply, means the same. How to fix it you already know.

Last in the list - error "draw miss", which indicates that the coffee container is missing or incorrectly installed. In most cases, if you pull it out and paste it back, this error disappears. However, if this did not help, then the repair kit is simply necessary in this situation. True, it is better not to repair such expensive cars yourself, but to provide everything to professionals.
