Congratulations on your purchase of a Philips fully automatic coffee machine! To fully benefit from the
support that Philips offers, please register your product at www.philips.com/welcome.
Read the separate safety booklet carefully before you use the machine for the first time and save it for
future reference.
To help you get started and to get the best out of your machine, Philips offers support in multiple
ways. In the box you find:
1 This user manual with picture-based usage instructions and more detailed information on cleaning
and maintenance.
There are two versions of this espresso machine. Each version has its own type number. You can

This machine has been tested with coffee. Although it has been carefully cleaned, there may be
some coffee residues left. We guarantee, however, that the machine is absolutely new.

Adjusting grinder settings
You can change the coffee strength with the grind setting knob inside the bean container. The lower
the grind setting, the finer the coffee beans are ground and the stronger the coffee. There are 12
different grind settings you can choose from.
The machine has been set up to get the best taste out of your coffee beans. Therefore we advise you
not to adjust the grinder settings until you have brewed 100-150 cups (approx. 1 month of usage).
You can only adjust the grind settings when the machine is grinding coffee beans. You need to
brew 2 to 3 drinks before you can taste the full difference.
Do not turn the grind setting knob more than one notch at a time to prevent damage to the grinder.
1 Place a cup under the coffee dispensing spout.
2 Open the lid of the coffee bean hopper.
3 Tap the espresso icon and then press the start/stop button.
4 When the grinder starts grinding, press down the grind setting knob and turn it to the left or right.

AquaClean icon and light
Your machine is equipped with an AquaClean water filter light (Fig. 22) to indicate the status of the
filter. Use the table below to see what actions are required when the light is on or when it is flashing.
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.
Activating the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)
The machine does not automatically detect that a filter has been placed in the water tank.
Therefore you need to activate each new AquaClean water filter that you install with the AquaClean
icon.
When the orange AquaClean light is off, you can still activate an AquaClean water filter, but you will
need to descale the machine first.
Your machine has to be completely limescale-free before you start to use the AquaClean water
filter.
English
Before activating the AquaClean water filter, it has to be prepared by soaking it in water as described
below. If you don't do this, air might be drawn into the machine instead of water, which makes a lot of
noise and prevents the machine from being able to brew coffee.
1 Shake the filter for about 5 seconds (Fig. 23).
2 Immerse the filter upside down in a jug with cold water, shake/press it a bit and wait until no more
air bubbles come out (Fig. 24).
3 The filter is now prepared for use and can be inserted into the water tank.
4 Insert the filter vertically onto the filter connection in the water tank. Press it down to the lowest
possible point (Fig. 25).
5 Fill the water tank with fresh water and place it back into the machine.
6 Press the AquaClean icon for 3 seconds (Fig. 26). The start light starts to pulse.
7 Press the start/stop button to start the activation process.
8 Hot water will be dispensed from the coffee spout and some water will flow from the internal
system directly into the drip tray (1 min.)
9 When the activation process is finished, the blue AquaClean light goes on to confirm that the
AquaClean water filter has been activated correctly.
