Frequently Asked Questions - Daily Collection HD7446 PHILIPS

How do I use the Philips Daily Collection HD7446 coffee machine?

Fill the water tank with fresh cold water up to the desired level (max 1.2 L). Add ground coffee to the filter basket (use a paper filter or the permanent filter). Close the lid and place the carafe on the hotplate. Press the power button to start brewing. The machine will automatically keep the coffee warm for 30 minutes.

What type of coffee grounds should I use?

Use medium to fine grind coffee suitable for drip coffee makers. Do not use ultra-fine or espresso grind as it may clog the filter. For best results, use freshly ground coffee.

How do I clean the coffee machine?

After each use, discard the used grounds and rinse the filter basket and carafe with warm soapy water. Descale regularly (every 2-3 months) to remove mineral buildup. Follow the descaling procedure in the manual using a descaling solution or a mixture of white vinegar and water.

How do I descale the Philips HD7446?

Fill the water tank with descaling solution (or a mix of 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water). Run a brewing cycle without coffee. After the cycle, let it sit for 15 minutes, then run 2-3 cycles with fresh water to rinse. The descaling indicator light will turn off after successful descaling.

Can I use the machine while the carafe is removed?

Yes, the anti-drip system stops the flow of coffee when you remove the carafe. Pause for up to 30 seconds to pour a cup, then replace the carafe to resume brewing.

Why is my coffee weak or watery?

Possible causes: not enough coffee grounds, too coarse a grind, or the water-to-coffee ratio is off. Use about 1 tablespoon of ground coffee per cup (180 ml) of water. Adjust to taste.

Why does the machine stop brewing before the tank is empty?

This may be due to mineral deposits blocking the water flow. Descale the machine. Also ensure the water tank is properly seated and the lid is closed tightly.

Does this machine have an auto shut-off feature?

Yes, the Philips HD7446 automatically switches off after 30 minutes to save energy and ensure safety.

Can I use paper filters and the permanent filter together?

No, use either the permanent filter alone or a paper filter alone. Using both may cause overflow or poor extraction.

Where can I find replacement parts for the HD7446?

You can order spare parts such as the carafe, filter basket, and water tank from Philips official website or authorized dealers. Use the model number HD7446 for compatibility.

Using the appliance

Brewing coffee

1 Open the lid (Fig. 3).
2 Fill the water tank with fresh cold water (Fig. 6).

3 Close the lid.
4 Place the jug on the hotplate.

Make sure you place the jug properly on the hotplate.

Note: If you do not place the jug properly on the hotplate, the drip stop prevents the coffee from flowing into the jug and the filter. As a result, the filter may overflow.

5 Open the filter holder (Fig. 7).

6 Take a paper filter (type 1x4 or no. 4) and fold the sealed edges to prevent tearing and folding.

In some countries, this coffee maker comes with a permanent filter. In that case, do not use paper filters.

• For large cups: use one heaped measuring spoon of ground coffee for each cup.
• For small cups: use one level measuring spoon of ground coffee for each cup.

In case of normal use (two full jugs of coffee every day), descale the coffee maker:

- 4 or 5 times a year if you use hard water.

Contact your local water board for information about the water hardness in your area.

1 Fill the water tank with white vinegar (4% acetic acid). Do not put a filter and ground coffee in the filter holder.

You can also use an appropriate liquid descaler. In this case, follow the instructions on the package of the descaler.

Do not use a descaling powder.

2 Let the appliance complete two brewing cycles.

See chapter ‘Using the appliance’. Let the appliance cool down before you start the second brewing cycle.

Troubleshooting

If problems arise with your coffee maker and you cannot solve them with the information below, please contact the nearest Philips service centre or the Philips Consumer Care Centre in your country.

Problem Solution

The appliance does not work.	Make sure that:
	- the appliance is plugged in.
	- the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local mains voltage.
	- the appliance is switched on.
	In all other cases, contact the Philips Consumer Care Centre.
Water leaks out of the appliance.	Make sure that:
	- the water tank has not been filled beyond the MAX level.
	In all other cases, contact the Philips Consumer Care Centre.
The appliance takes a long time to brew coffee.	Descale the appliance (see chapter ‘Descaling’).
The appliance produces a lot of noise and steam during the brewing process.	Make sure that:

• the water tank is filled with COLD water.

Problem Solution
	- the appliance is not blocked by scale. If necessary, descale the appliance (see chapter 'Descaling').
Coffee grounds end up in the jug.	Make sure that:
	- the filter holder has not overflowed because there is too much ground coffee in the filter.
	- the filter holder has not overflowed because the jug has not been placed correctly under the filter holder.
	- the opening in the bottom of the filter holder is not clogged.
	- you use the right size of paper filter.
	- the paper filter is not torn.
The coffee is too weak. Make sure that:
	- you use the right proportion of coffee to water.
	- the paper filter has not collapsed.
	- you use the right size of paper filter.
The coffee does not taste good.	Do not leave the jug with coffee on the hotplate too long, especially not if it only contains a small amount of coffee.
The coffee is not hot enough.	Make sure that:
	- you place the jug properly on the hotplate.
Problem Solution
	- the hotplate and the jug are clean (see chapter ‘Cleaning’).
	We advise you to brew more than three cups of coffee to ensure that the coffee has the right temperature.
	Tips:
	- use thin cups, because they absorb less heat from the coffee than thick cups.
	- do not use cold milk straight from the refrigerator.
There is less coffee in the jug than expected.	Make sure you place the jug properly on the hotplate. If the jug is not placed properly on the hotplate, the drip stop prevents the coffee from flowing out of the filter.
