Making another jug of fresh coffee right away
If you want to make another jug of fresh coffee right away, switch the appliance off and let it cool
down for three minutes. Fill the water tank again and put a new amount of ground coffee in a new
paper filter. Now you can make fresh coffee again.
B
If you do not let the appliance cool down for three minutes before brewing coffee again, water will
start dripping into the filter holder right away.
◗ Make sure you pour the first amount of fresh water against the temperature sensor in the
centre of the cover (fig. 16).
This will make the outflow opening in the bottom of the water tank close again.
Cleaning
Always unplug the appliance before you start cleaning it.
Never immerse the appliance in water.
1 Clean the outside of the coffee maker with a moist cloth.
2 Clean the detachable parts in hot water with some washing-up liquid or in the dishwasher.
3 Clean the rubber insert in the outflow opening of the water tank every month and after
every descaling procedure (fig. 17).
Do not forget to put the insert back into place before you use the appliance again.
Never remove the rubber insert if there is still hot water in the water tank.
Descaling
Regular descaling will prolong the life of your appliance and will guarantee optimal brewing results
for a long time.
In case of normal use (two full jugs of coffee every day), descale your coffee maker:
- 2 or 3 times a year if you are using soft water (up to 18 dH);
- 4 or 5 times a year if you are using hard water (over 18 dH).
Turn to your local water board for information about the hardness of the water in your area.
1 Fill the water tank with white vinegar (4% acetic acid). Do not put a filter or ground coffee in
the filter holder.
2 Let the appliance complete two brewing cycles.
You can use the same vinegar for the second brewing cycle.
3 Let the appliance complete two more brewing cycles with fresh, cold water to remove any
vinegar and scale residues.
4 Clean the jug and the filter holder (see chapter 'Cleaning').
B
You can also use an appropriate liquid descaler. In that case, follow the instructions on the package or
bottle. Do not use descaler powders!
Ordering a jug
Is your jug broken or do you want an extra jug?
You can order a glass jug from your local Philips dealer or a Philips service centre under type
