Deactivating the AquaClean reminder
If you do not want to use Philips AquaClean water filters anymore, you can always deactivate the
AquaClean reminders (AquaClean light flashing orange):
1Press the on/off button to switch off the machine.
2When the machine is switched off, press and hold the AquaClean icon until the light in this icon
goes on. The start light starts flashing.
3Tap the AquaClean icon again to deactivate the reminders. The light in the AquaClean icon goes
off.
4Press the start/stop button to confirm your choice.
5Press the on/off button to switch on the machine again. The AquaClean reminders are now
deactivated.
Note: The activation of a new AquaClean filter will automatically re-activate the AquaClean reminders.
Setting the water hardness
We advise you to adjust the water hardness to the water hardness in your region for optimal
performance and a longer lifetime of the machine. This also prevents you from having to descale the
machine too often. The default water hardness setting is 4: hard water.
Use the water hardness test strip supplied in the box to determine the water
hardness in your region:
1Immerse the water hardness test strip in tap water or hold it under the tap for 1 second (Fig. 45).
2Wait 1 minute. The number of squares on the test strip that turn red indicate the water hardness
(Fig. 46).
Set the machine to the correct water hardness:
1Press the on/off button to switch off the machine.
2When the machine is switched off, tap and hold the aroma strength icon until all lights in the icon
go on (Fig. 2).
3Tap 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. 47). When there are no red squares on the test
strip (so all squares are green) please select 1 light.
4When you have set the correct water hardness, press the start/stop button.
5Press the on/off icon to switch on the machine.
Since you only set the water hardness once, the aroma strength function is used to select the water
hardness. This does not affect the aroma strength of the drinks you make afterwards.
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.
1Make sure that the machine is switched on.
