  1. Confirm the pattern

    Rinsing removes old lubricant over time, increasing friction on the brew-group rails, piston shaft and lower track.

  2. Prepare safely

    Finish the automatic shutdown, unplug the machine and let hot surfaces cool. Remove only the tank, tray, brew group or cleaning accessory named by the manufacturer.

  3. Apply the official check

    Rinse and air-dry the group, then apply a thin film of Philips/Saeco brew-group grease only to the documented piston shaft, lower shaft and both guide rails.

  4. Retest once

    Cycle the mechanism gently by hand before refitting. It should travel smoothly without excess grease entering the coffee chamber.

When to stop checking Saeco GranAroma SM6585/00

  • Stop for a harsh grinder noise, repeated electrical error, uncontrolled leak, burning smell or a symptom that returns after the one official retest.
