Regular descaling prolongs the life of the appliance and guarantees optimal brewing results and a

constant brewing time for a long time.

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

- 2 or 3 times a year if you use soft water (up to 18dH);

- 4 or 5 times a year if you use hard water (over 18dH).

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

You can use white vinegar with 4% acetic acid or a liquid descaler to descale the coffeemaker.

Note: If the appliance starts to produce more steam, this can be an indication that scale is building up.

Never use vinegar with an acetic acid content of 8% or more, natural vinegar, powder descalers

or tablet descalers to descale the appliance, as this may cause damage.

Descaling takes approx. 30 to 60 minutes.

1 Fill the water tank with one litre of white vinegar (4% acetic acid) (Fig. 16).

Note: Do not put a lter and ground coffee in the lter holder.

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

2 Press the on/off switch to switch on the appliance and let it complete the brewing cycle (see

chapter ‘Using the appliance’) (Fig. 9).

4 Let the appliance complete two more brewing cycles with fresh cold water to remove any

vinegar/descaler and scale residues (Fig. 18).

5 Clean the jug and the lter holder (see chapter ‘Cleaning’).

You can order a new jug from your local Philips dealer or a Philips service centre under type

number HD7989/20 (black) and HD7989/00 (grey).

- Do not throw away the appliance with the normal household waste at the end of its life, but

hand it in at an ofcial collection point for recycling. By doing this, you help to preserve the

environment (Fig. 19).
