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no longer active.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
®
coffee machine.
Descaling procedure
Note: The descaling procedure for this machine differs from that of previous
models.
Note: The descaling procedure consist of 2 descaling cycles and 2 flushing
cycles. Do not interrupt the descaling cycles and do not switch off the machine
before or between the flushing cycles.
1
Press the on/off button
, The machine is ready for use when the light ring lights up
continuously.
2
Mix 50 grams of citric acid with 1 litre of water. Fill the water
reservoir with the descaler mixture. Stir until the powder is
completely dissolved.
3
Put the water reservoir back onto the coffee machine.
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.
