flashing to indicate that the flushing cycle has
started. The flushing cycle takes approx. 1.5 to
2.5 minutes.
, During the flushing cycle, the boiler fills itself
with water from the water reservoir and cold
water comes out of the coffee spout. During the
flushing cycle, the machine produces more noise
than during a regular brewing cycle.
, When all the water in the water reservoir has
been used up, the flushing cycle is finished and
the machine switches off.
ENGLISH12

coffee). You
often (every 3 months) in the same way. Descaling
ENGLISH 19
takes 20 to 30 minutes. Do not interrupt the
descaling process.
Why to descale
Scale builds up inside the machine during use. It is
essential to descale the SENSEO
least every 3 months. Your reasons to descale:
- It prolongs the life of your SENSEO
machine
- It ensures maximum cup volume
- It ensures maximum coffee temperature
- The machine produces less sound during brewing
- It prevents malfunctioning
If the descaling procedure is not performed correctly,
scale residue remains behind in the machine. This
causes scale to build up more quickly and may cause
permanent and irreparable damage to the machine.
Use the correct descaling agent
Only citric acid-based descalers are suitable for
descaling the SENSEO
®
machine. This type of
descaler descales the machine without damaging
it. For the correct amount, see under ‘Descaling
procedure’ below. Each descaling mixture can be
used only once. After use, the descaling mixture is no
longer active.
We advise you to use the special SENSEO
Descaler (HD7012, HD7011, HD7006). For more
information about this descaler, visit our website
www.philips.com.
Never use a descaling agent based on mineral acids
such as sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulphamic
acid and acetic acid (e.g. vinegar). These descaling
agents may damage your SENSEO

ENGLISH20
Descaling procedure
1 Mix 50 grams of citric acid with 1 litre of water
in a measuring jug. Stir until the powder is
completely dissolved.
2 Fill the water reservoir with the descaler
mixture. Then put the water reservoir back
onto the coffee machine.
3 Press the on/off button 3.
, The machine is ready for use when the light ring
lights up continuously.
4 Place the 1-cup pod holder q with a used
coffee pod in it in the coffee machine. Close
the lid and make sure it is properly locked.
It is not possible to descale the machine
when the lid is not properly closed and the lid
lever is not locked. In this case, the indicator
light flashes intermittently.
Note: Always put a used coffee pod in the pod holder
when you descale the machine. This pod serves as a
‘filter’ to prevent the sieve or hole in the pod holder
from getting clogged with scale residue.
5 Put a bowl with a capacity of at least 1500ml
under the spout to collect the descaling
mixture.
6 Press the 1-cup button q and the 2-cup button
qq briefly at the same time to start the
descaling cycle.
, The CALC light starts flashing to indicate that
the descaling cycle has started.
ENGLISH 21
, Hot water comes out of the coffee spout in
intervals. During the descaling cycle, the machine
stops descaling 3 to 4 times to let the descaler
mixture soak in and to heat up.
Let the machine complete the entire descaling
cycle, which takes 4 to 5 minutes. Do not switch
off the machine during the descaling cycle!
, When all the water in the water reservoir has
been used up, the descaling cycle is finished. The
light ring around the on/off button starts to flash
rapidly.
7 Repeat the descaling procedure (steps 1 to 6)
once. Replace the used pod with another used
pod to filter out the scale residue.
8 Rinse the water reservoir with tap water. Fill
the water reservoir up to the MAX indication
with tap water and repeat steps 3 to 6.
Note: Do not refill the water reservoir with used hot
water or the used descaling mixture.
9 Fill the water reservoir with fresh tap water up
to the MAX indication again and repeat steps 3
to 6 once more.
Note: Always rinse the machine by letting it empty two
full water reservoirs.
10 Remove the used pod and clean the pod
holder after descaling to prevent the sieve in
the centre from getting clogged.
ENGLISH22
