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:
1This 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).

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

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. 40) 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.
16 English
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.
1Make sure that the machine is switched on.
2Shake the filter for about 5 seconds (Fig. 41).
3Immerse the filter upside down in a jug with cold water and shake/press it (Fig. 42).
4The filter is now prepared for use and can be inserted into the water tank.
5Insert the filter vertically onto the filter connection in the water tank. Press it down to the lowest
possible point (Fig. 43).
6Fill the water tank with fresh water and place it back into the machine.
7If attached, remove the LatteGo.
8Place a bowl under the hot water spout/milk frother.
9Press the AquaClean icon for 3 seconds (Fig. 44). The start light starts to pulse.
10 Press the start/stop button to start the activation process.
11 Hot water will be dispensed from the hot water spout/milk frother (3 min.).
12 When the activation process is finished, the blue AquaClean light goes on to confirm that the
AquaClean water filter has been activated correctly.
Replacing the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)
After 95 liters of water have flowed through the filter, the filter will cease to work. The AquaClean light
turns orange and starts to flash to remind you to replace the filter. As long as it flashes, you can
replace the filter without having to descale the machine first. If you do not replace the AquaClean
water filter, the orange light will go out eventually. In that case you can still replace the filter but you
first need to descale the machine.
When the orange AquaClean light flashes:
1Take out the old AquaClean water filter.
2Install a new filter and activate it as described in chapter 'Activating the AquaClean water filter (5
min.)'.
Replace the AquaClean water filter at least every 3 months, even if the machine does not yet
indicate that replacement is required.
17
English
English
Deactivating the AquaClean reminder
If you do not want to use Philips AquaClean water filters anymore, you can always deactivate the
AquaClean reminders (AquaClean light flashing orange):
1Press the on/off button to switch off the machine.
2When the machine is switched off, press and hold the AquaClean icon until the light in this icon
goes on. The start light starts flashing.
3Tap the AquaClean icon again to deactivate the reminders. The light in the AquaClean icon goes
off.
4Press the start/stop button to confirm your choice.
5Press the on/off button to switch on the machine again. The AquaClean reminders are now
deactivated.
Note: The activation of a new AquaClean filter will automatically re-activate the AquaClean reminders.
Setting the water hardness
We advise you to adjust the water hardness to the water hardness in your region for optimal
performance and a longer lifetime of the machine. This also prevents you from having to descale the
machine too often. The default water hardness setting is 4: hard water.
Use the water hardness test strip supplied in the box to determine the water
hardness in your region:
1Immerse the water hardness test strip in tap water or hold it under the tap for 1 second (Fig. 45).
2Wait 1 minute. The number of squares on the test strip that turn red indicate the water hardness
(Fig. 46).
Set the machine to the correct water hardness:
1Press the on/off button to switch off the machine.
2When the machine is switched off, tap and hold the aroma strength icon until all lights in the icon
go on (Fig. 2).
3Tap the aroma strength icon 1, 2, 3 or 4 times. The number of lights that are on should be the same
as the number of red squares on the test strip (Fig. 47). When there are no red squares on the test
strip (so all squares are green) please select 1 light.
4When you have set the correct water hardness, press the start/stop button.
5Press the on/off icon to switch on the machine.
Since you only set the water hardness once, the aroma strength function is used to select the water
hardness. This does not affect the aroma strength of the drinks you make afterwards.
Descaling procedure (30 min.)
Please use Philips descaler only. Under no circumstances should you use a descaler based on sulfuric
acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfamic or acetic acid (vinegar) as this may damage the water circuit in your
machine and not dissolve the limescale properly. Not using the Philips descaler will void your
warranty. Failure to descale the appliance will also void your warranty. You can buy Philips descaling
solution in the online shop at www.philips.com/coffee-care.
When the Calc / Clean light starts to flash slowly, you need to descale the machine.
1Make sure that the machine is switched on.
18 English
2If attached remove LatteGo or milk frother.
3Remove the drip tray and the coffee grounds container, empty them and put them back into place.
4Remove the water tank and empty it. Then remove the AquaClean water filter.
5Pour the whole bottle of Philips descaler in the water tank and then fill it with water up to the Calc
/ Clean indication (Fig. 48). Then place it back into the machine.
6Place a large container (1.5 l) under the coffee dispensing spout and the water spout.
7Press the Calc / Clean icon for 3 sec. and then press the start/stop button.
8The first phase of the descaling procedure starts. The descaling procedure lasts approx. 30 minutes
and consists of a descaling cycle and a rinsing cycle. During the descaling cycle the Calc / Clean
light flashes to show that the descaling phase is in progress.
9Let the machine dispense the descaling solution until the display reminds you that the water tank
is empty.
10 Empty the water tank, rinse it and then refill it with fresh water up to the Calc / Clean indication.
11 Empty the container and place it back under the coffee dispensing spout and the water spout.
Press the start/stop button again.
12 The second phase of the descaling cycle, the rinsing phase, starts and lasts 3 minutes. During this
phase the lights on the control panel go on and off to show that the rinsing phase is in progress.
13 Wait until the machine stops dispensing water. The descaling procedure is finished when the
machine stops dispensing water.
14 The machine will now heat up again. When the lights in the drink icons light up continuously, the
machine is ready for use again.
15 Install and activate a new AquaClean water filter in the water tank (see 'Activating the AquaClean
water filter (5 min.)').
-When the descaling procedure is finished, the AquaClean light flashes for a while to remind you
to install a new AquaClean water filter.
Tip: Using the AquaClean filter reduces the need for descaling!
What to do if the descaling procedure is interrupted
You can exit the descaling procedure by pressing the on/off button on the control panel. If the
descaling procedure is interrupted before it is completely finished, do the following:
1Empty and rinse the water tank thoroughly.
2Fill the water tank with fresh water up to the Calc / Clean level indication and switch the machine
back on. The machine will heat up and perform an automatic rinsing cycle.
3Before brewing any drinks, perform a manual rinsing cycle. To perform a manual rinsing cycle, first
dispense half a water tank of hot water by repeatedly tapping the hot water icon (Fig. 14) and then
brew 2 cups of pre-ground coffee without adding ground coffee.
If the descaling procedure was not completed, the machine will require another descaling
procedure as soon as possible.

compartment and move the handle up and down until the clogged ground
coffee falls down (Fig. 27). Remove the brew group and remove all ground coffee
that has fallen down. Place back the clean brew group.

Problem Cause Solution
The drip tray fills up
quickly.
This is normal. The machine
uses water to rinse the internal
circuit and brew group. Some
water flows through the internal
system directly into the drip
tray.
Empty the drip tray daily or as soon as
the red 'drip tray full' indicator pops up
through the drip tray cover. Tip: place a
cup under the dispensing spout to
collect rinsing water that comes out of
it.
The 'empty coffee
grounds container' light
remains on.
You emptied the coffee grounds
container while the machine
was switched off.
Always empty the coffee grounds
container while the machine is switched
on. Remove the coffee grounds
container, wait at least 5 sec. and then
insert it again.
