AquaClean water filter

• Your machine is AquaClean enabled. You can place the AquaClean water filter in the water tank to preserve the taste of your coffee. It also diminishes the need for descaling by reducing limescale build-up in your machine. You can purchase an AquaClean water filter from your local retailer, from authorized service centers or online at www.philips.com/parts-and-accessories
• When you use the machine for the first time, the AquaClean light starts flashing orange. This indicates that you can start using the AquaClean water filter. If you do not activate an AquaClean water filter, the light will switch off automatically after a while.
• Once you have installed the filter and activated it with the AquaClean icon, the AquaClean light turns blue to confirm that the AquaClean water filter is active.
• When the filter is exhausted, the AquaClean light starts flashing orange again to remind you to replace the filter with a new one.
• When the orange AquaClean light is off, you can still activate an AquaClean filter, you will need to descale the machine first.

Replacing the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)

• After 95 liters of water have flowed through the filter, the filter will cease to work. The AquaClean light turns orange and starts to flash to remind you to replace the filter.
• As long as it flashes, you can replace the filter without having to descale the machine first. If you do not replace the AquaClean water filter, the orange light will go out eventually. In that case you can still replace the filter but you first need to descale the machine. When the orange AquaClean light flashes:
• Take out the old AquaClean water filter.
• Install a new filter and activate it as described in chapter ‘Activating the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)

Setting the water hardness

Use the water hardness test strip supplied in the box to determine the water hardness in your region:

1. Immerse the water hardness test strip in tap water or hold it under the tap for 1 second (Fig. 42).
2. Wait 1 minute. The number of squares on the test strip that turn red indicate the water hardness (Fig. 43).

Set the machine to the correct water hardness:

1. Press the on/off button to switch off the machine.
2. When the machine is switched off, tap and hold the aroma strength icon until all lights in the icon go on (Fig. 2).
3. Tap the aroma strength icon 1, 2, 3 or 4 times. The number of lights that are on should be the same as the number of red squares on the test strip (Fig. 44). When there are no red squares on the test strip (so all squares are green) please select 1 light.
4. When you have set the correct water hardness, press the start/stop button.
5. Press the on/off icon to switch on the machine.

Descaling procedure (30 min.)

Please use Philips descaler only. Under no circumstances should you use a descaler based on sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfamic or acetic acid (vinegar) as this may damage the water circuit in your machine and not dissolve the limescale properly. Not using the Philips descaler will void your warranty. Failure to descale the appliance will also void your warranty. You can buy Philips descaling solution in the online shop at www.philips.com/coffee-care When the Calc / Clean light starts to flash slowly, you need to descale the machine.

6. Press the Calc / Clean icon for 3 sec. and then press the start/stop button.
7. The first phase of the descaling procedure starts. The descaling procedure lasts approx. 30 minutes and consists of a descaling cycle and a rinsing cycle. During the descaling cycle the Calc / Clean light flashes to show that the descaling phase is in progress.
8. Let the machine dispense the descaling solution until the display reminds you that the water tank is empty.
9. Empty the water tank, rinse it and then refill it with fresh water up to the Calc / Clean indication.

13. The machine will now heat up again. When the lights in the drink icons light up continuously, the machine is ready for use again.
14. Install and activate a new AquaClean water filter in the water tank (see ‘Activating the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)’).
    • When the descaling procedure is finished, the AquaClean light flashes for a while to remind you to install a new AquaClean water filter.

What to do if the descaling procedure is interrupted

You can exit the descaling procedure by pressing the on/off button on the control panel. If the descaling procedure is interrupted before it is completely finished, do the following:
