ENGLISH
Cleaning and Storing the Machine
Keep the machine at its best, clean and store it properly.
Since the machine uses natural ingredients to brew beverages (co ee
beans, water, milk, etc.), some residues of ground co ee or condensed water could be present on its supporting surface. For this reason we recommend to periodically clean both the visible parts of the machine and the
area beneath it.
Before storing the machine we strongly recommend to clean it:
- Water left in the tank and/or the water circuit for several days should
not be consumed. If the machine is going to remain inactive for a long
time, dispense water from the steam wand and carefully clean the Cappuccinatore (if supplied).
- Turn o the power button and clean the machine. Finally, remove the
plug from the socket. Wait for the machine to cool down.
Never immerse the machine in water! Store it in a dry place, out of the
reach of children. Keep it protected from dust and dirt.
It is strictly forbidden to tamper with the internal parts of the machine.
Malfunction
In case of failure, problems or a suspected fault resulting from the falling of
the machine, immediately remove the plug from the socket. Never attempt
to operate a faulty machine.
For further information on troubleshooting and service, please refer to the
"Troubleshooting" and "Service" chapters.
Fire Safety Precautions
In case of re, use carbon dioxide (CO2) extinguishers. Do not use water or
dry powder extinguishers.

"INTENZA+" Water Filter (Optional)
The “INTENZA+” water lter can improve the quality of water. Using the
“Intenza+” lter will prevent limescale from building up and will ensure a
much more intense aroma to your espresso co ee. We therefore recommend you to install the “Intenza+” water lter. You can purchase it at your
local dealer or on-line at the Philips on-line shop at http://shop.philips.com.
"INTENZA+" Water Filter Installation

Measuring water hardness is very important in order to correctly manage
the "INTENZA+" water lter and the frequency with which the machine
must be descaled.
3
The lter should be set according to the measurements performed to
set the water hardness. Use the water hardness test strip provided with
the machine. Set the "Intenza Aroma System" as speci ed on the lter
packaging (see section "Measuring Water Hardness").
A = Soft water
B = Hard water (standard)
C = Very hard water
