Electromagnetic fields (EMF)

This Philips appliance complies with all standards regarding electromagnetic fields (EMF). If handled properly and according to the instructions in this user manual, the appliance is safe to use based on scientific evidence available today.

Before first use

1 Place the appliance on a flat and stable surface.
Push excess cord into the opening in the back of the appliance. To fix the cord, push it into the narrow part of the opening (Fig. 2).

Note: Make sure that the cord does not come into contact with hot surfaces.

3 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
4 Clean the detachable parts (see chapter 'Cleaning').
5 Reassemble all parts.

• Make sure the water tank cover is placed correctly (Fig. 3).
• Make sure the filter holder is placed correctly. First place the back of the filter holder under the rim of the hinge (1) and then push down the handgrip (2) until the filter holder locks into place (Fig. 4).
  6 Flush the appliance (see section 'Flushing the appliance' below).

Flushing the appliance

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

1 Open the lid of the coffeemaker (Fig. 5).
2 Fill the water tank with fresh cold water up to the MAX indication (Fig. 6).

Note: Do not switch on the appliance when the lid is still open.
3 Close the lid (Fig. 7).
Put the jug on the hotplate (Fig. 8).

Note: Make sure you put the jug on the hotplate with the spout facing into the appliance.

5 Press the on/off switch to switch on the appliance (Fig. 9).
The power-on light goes on.
6 Let the appliance operate until all the water has run into the jug.
7 Switch off the appliance. Let it cool down for at least 3 minutes before you start brewing coffee.

Using the appliance

1 Open the lid of the coffeemaker (Fig. 5).
2 Fill the water tank with fresh cold water up to the required level (Fig. 10).

• The indications on the left side of the water level window correspond to large cups (120ml).
• The indications on the right side of the water level window correspond to small cups (80ml).

3 Make sure the filter holder is placed correctly. First place the back of the filter holder under the rim of the hinge (1) and then push down the handgrip (2) until the filter holder locks into place (Fig. 4).

Note: If the filter holder is not placed correctly, the drip stop cannot function properly. The drip stop prevents coffee from dripping through the filter onto the hotplate when the jug is removed.
4 Take a paper filter (type 1x4 or no. 4) and fold the sealed edges to prevent tearing and folding (Fig. 11).
5 Put the paper filter in the filter holder (Fig. 12).

Note: Some versions come with a permanent filter. In this case you do not need to use paper filters.

6 Put ground coffee (filter-fine grind) in the filter (Fig. 13).
- 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.
7 Close the lid of the coffeemaker. (Fig. 7)
8 Place the jug with the lid closed on the hotplate (Fig. 8).

Note: Make sure you put the jug on the hotplate with the spout facing into the appliance. If the spout of the jug sticks out from under the filter holder, the coffee may cool down.

Note: If you do not place the jug properly on the hotplate, the drip stop prevents the coffee from flowing into the jug. This may cause the filter to overflow.

9 Press the on/off switch to switch on the appliance (Fig. 9).
The power-on light goes on.
10 Let the water pass through the filter into the jug.

Note: If you want to remove the jug during brewing, the drip stop prevents coffee from dripping through the filter onto the hotplate. Place back the jug as soon as possible to prevent the filter from overflowing (Fig. 14).
11 You can leave the jug on the hotplate to keep the coffee warm and to preserve its flavour.

Note: Make sure you put the jug on the hotplate with the spout facing into the appliance. If the spout of the jug sticks out from under the filter holder, the coffee may cool down.
12 After use, press the on/off switch to switch off the appliance.
Note:The appliance does not switch off automatically.
Note: If you want to brew another jug of coffee right away, let the appliance cool down for 3 minutes first.
13 Remove the filter holder and throw away the paper filter and its contents. If you have used the permanent filter, empty and rinse it.

Tip: After the brewing cycle is completed, you can pour the hot coffee into a thermos jug to keep it hot and fresh.

Cleaning

Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid, nor rinse it under the tap.

1 Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
2 Clean the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.
3 Remove the filter holder.
4 Remove the water tank cover (Fig. 15).
5 Remove the lid from the jug.
6 Clean the filter holder, the water tank cover, the jug and the lid of the jug in hot water with some washing-up liquid or in the dishwasher.
7 After cleaning, rinse the jug with fresh hot water and reattach all parts.

• For instructions on how to reattach the water tank cover and filter holder, see chapter 'Before first use'.

Descaling

Regular descending 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.

Dscaling 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 filter and ground coffee in the filter holder.
Note:You can also use an appropriate liquid descaler. In this case, follow the instructions on the package of the descaler.
Press the on/off switch to switch on the appliance and let it complete the brewing cycle (see chapter 'Using the appliance') (Fig. 9).
3 Empty the jug over a sink (Fig. 17).
Note: For extra through descending and to make sure that there is no scale left in the appliance, repeat steps 1 to 3.
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 filter holder (see chapter 'Cleaning').

Replacement

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).
