Philips Saeco Venus XXCX - Manual (Page 13)

Preparing Your Coffeemaker For Use
Before using your Saeco Venus, we recommend that you filter water through the machine to remove any dust particles
or residues that the machine may have retained from the factory. Please note that NO coffee should be used during this
process. The steps are as follows:
1. Fill the water reservoir with 40 ounces of water.
2. Place the assembled thermal carafe into the brewing area. Be sure to push the carafe all the way into the unit
to trigger the carafe insertion sensor.
3. Plug in machine. Press ON the “On/Off” button. The blue light beside the “On/Off” button will illuminate and
the water will begin to brew into the thermal carafe.
4. When approximately half of the water has run through, press OFF the “On/Off” button. Allow the remaining
water to sit in the reservoir to soak for 15 to 30 minutes. Press ON the “On/Off” button and allow the
remaining water to run through the machine. The machine will automatically turn off when all of the water has
been brewed through the machine.
Remove the carafe from the machine, unscrew the lid and discard the water from the carafe. Allow the machine to cool
for at least 15 minutes. Your machine is now ready for use!
Setting The Clock
Plug in the machine. Press and hold the hour or minute button until the clock flashes and you hear one beep. Set the
clock by depressing the hour and minute buttons to the current time. Five seconds after you release either button, the
time stops flashing and is set. AM or PM is indicated by a small light at the top left of the clock display.
CAUTION: The Control Pad is encased in a soft touch material that is water resistant, but not waterproof. Do not
over expose the control pad to water; it may permanently damage the Control Pad making the coffeemaker inoperable.
