Introduction
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 multiple versions of this espresso machine, which all have different features. Each
version has its own type number. You can find the type number on the data label on the inside of
the service door (see fig A11).
2 The separate safety booklet with instructions on how to use the machine in a safe way.
3 For online support (frequently asked questions, movies etc.), scan the QR code on the cover of this
booklet or visit www.philips.com/coffee-care
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.
The machine automatically adjusts the amount of ground coffee that is used to make the best-tasting
coffee. You should brew 5 coffees initially to allow the machine to complete its self-adjustment.
Make sure you rinse the LatteGo (milk container) or the classic milk frother before first use.
Before first use
1. Setting up the machine
After you have switched on the machine, some water may be dispensed from the hot water spout or
coffee spout. This is normal.

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.

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.

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.
AquaClean icon and light
Your machine is equipped with an AquaClean water filter light (Fig. 37) 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.
17
English
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.
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. 38).
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. 39).
