Cleaning
• Always remove the mains plug from the wall
socket before cleaning the appliance.
• Never immerse the appliance or the jug into
water.
You can clean the two items with a damp cloth.
• Especially do not forget
to clean the hot water
outlet opening with a
damp cloth (fig. 17, 18).
(In time, calc setting
might even cause hot
water to flow along the
outside of the
coffeemaker.)
• Pour hot water into
the jug.
Wash the inside of the
jug with a brush.
Rinse the jug with fresh
hot water.
The Thermo lid of the
jug can be removed
(pull the lid while
opening) for easy
cleaning.
Also clean the spout with hot water.
• The filter holder and the Thermo lid can be
washed in hot soapy water.
Rinse with clean hot water and dry.
• Do not clean any part in a dishwasher.
Descaling
To guarantee proper functioning, descale your
appliance regularly.
With normal use (two full jugs a day):
• If you use soft water (hardness up to 18 °DH /
22.5 °Clarke) - two or three times a year.
• If you use hard water (hardness over 18 °DH /
22.5 °Clarke) - four or five times a year.
Your water supply company can inform you about
the hardness of your water.
- Operate the appliance twice as indicated in
section "Making coffee".
However, now use ordinary vinegar to fill the
water tank and do not fill the paper filter
with coffee.
- After descaling, operate the appliance twice
7
more with cold water only, in order to rinse
away the vinegar and scale remainders.
- Clean the jug, the lid and filter assembly. (See
section "Cleaning".)
• Especially do not forget to clean the hot water
outlet opening with a damp cloth (fig. 17, 18).

Important
• If the mains cord of this appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced by the
original type only.
Please apply to your Philips dealer or to
the Philips organisation in your country
for replacement.
• Connect the appliance to an earthed wall
socket only.
• Do not place the appliance on a hot
surface.
• Place the appliance on a solid surface.
Prevent the appliance from falling into
water.
• Never remove the jug during the process
of brewing: hot water will keep on
coming from the water outlet opening.
• During brewing the metal section at the
water inlet opening will become hot.
Do not touch!
• Prevent children from pulling the mains
cord or knocking the appliance over
accidentally.
• Do not disassemble the jug.
• The jug is not intended for heating-up
cold water (or cold coffee).
The appliance could become disordered
for a couple of hours if the jug would be
connected filled with cold liquid.
• The electrical connection between coffee
maker and jug is low-voltage and thus not
dangerous to touch.
• A spark may be noticed when placing or
removing the jug. This is a normal
phenomenon and not at all dangerous.
