First installation

To prepare your coffee machine for use, you need to perform a few simple steps such as filling the water circuit and activating the AquaClean filter. These steps are shown in the separate quick start guide.

For the best-tasting coffee, you need to brew 5 coffees initially to allow the machine to complete its self-adjustment.

12 English

The machine has been set up to get the best taste out of your coffee beans. Therefore we advise you not to adjust the grinder settings until you have brewed 100-150 cups (approx. 1 month of usage).

Thoroughly clean the milk container, the milk tubes and the cappuccinatore before first use. We advise you not to clean the cappuccinatore in the dishwasher, to prevent food particles or detergent residues from clogging it.

Using the control panel and touchscreen

Below you find an overview and description of the control panel and touchscreen of the machine. You can swipe the touchscreen and tap to select or confirm your choices.

Aquaclean filter

The AquaClean filter is designed to reduce limescale deposits in your coffee machine and provide filtered water to preserve the aroma and flavor of each cup of coffee. If you use a series of 8 AquaClean filters as indicated by the machine and in this user manual, you don't have to descale your machine for up to 5000 cups. With each filter you can enjoy up to 625 cups, depending on the selected coffee varieties and the rinsing and cleaning frequencies.

Preparing the AquaClean filter for activation

Before you place the AquaClean filter in the water tank, you need to prepare it for use:

1 Shake the filter for about 5 seconds (Fig. 2).
2 Fully immerse the filter upside down in a jug with cold water for at least 30 seconds. Wait until no more air bubbles come out (Fig. 3).
3 Push the filter onto the filter connection to the lowest possible point. (Fig. 4)

Activating the AquaClean filter

You need to activate every new AquaClean filter that you use. By activating the AquaClean filter, the machine monitors the capacity of the AquaClean filter and the number of filters used. There are 3 ways to activate the AquaClean filter.

1. Activating the AquaClean filter during first installation

After switching on for the first time, the machine guides you through the first installation steps such as filling the water tank, filling the water circuit and activating the AquaClean filter. Simply follow the instructions on the screen.

2. Activating the AquaClean filter when prompted

Replace the AquaClean filter when the screen shows the message 'Replace AquaClean filter?' Then follow the instructions on the screen to activate the filter properly.

Replace the AquaClean filter at least every 3 months, even if the machine has not yet indicated that replacement is required.

3. Activating the AquaClean filter at any other time

You can start using the AquaClean filter at any time by following the instructions below.

1 Tap the Settings icon and then select 'AquaClean' (Fig. 5).
2 Select 'new' and when the activation screen appears, press the start/stop button.
3 Follow the instructions on the screen.

Note: In some situations the machine will tell you that you need to descale the machine before you can install and activate a new AquaClean filter. This is because your machine has to be completely limescale-free before you start to use the AquaClean filter. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Measuring water hardness

During first installation, you have to set the water hardness. Follow the steps on the screen and use the water hardness test strip supplied. To set the water hardness later, tap the Settings icon and select 'water hardness'.

1 Immerse the water hardness test strip in tap water for 1 second. Then wait for 1 minute.
2 Check how many squares have turned red.
3 Select the appropriate water hardness setting and tap the OK icon to confirm.

8 Place a new AquaClean filter in the water tank and reactivate the AquaClean filter in the menu.

Tip: Using the AquaClean filter reduces the need for descaling!

What to do if the descending procedure is interrupted

You can exit the descending procedure by pressing the on/off button on the control panel. If the descending procedure is interrupted before it is completely finished, do the following:

1 Empty and rinse the water tank thoroughly.
2 Fill the water tank with fresh water up to the CALC CLEAN level indication and switch the machine back on. The machine will heat up and perform an automatic rinsing cycle.
3 Before brewing any drinks, perform a manual rinsing cycle. To perform a manual rinsing cycle, first dispense half a water tank of hot water and then brew 2 cups of pre-ground coffee without adding ground coffee.

Note: If the descending procedure was not completed, the machine will require another descending procedure as soon as possible.

Problem Cause Solution

The type of milk used is not suitable for frothing.Different types of milk result in different amounts of froth and different froth qualities. We have tested the following milk types which proved to deliver a good milk froth result: semi-skimmed or full-fat cow's milk, soy milk and lactose-free milk.
The milk is splashing. The milk you use is not cold enough.Make sure you use cold milk coming directly from the fridge.
The flexible milk tube is not connected properly.Open the door of the coffee dispensing spout (Fig. 10) and check if the flexible milk tube is fully connected to the cappuccinatore (Fig. 11). Note that the cappuccinatore and milk tubes may be hot. Let the cappuccinatore and the tubes cool down before you touch them.
The cappuccinatore and milk tubes are not clean.Remove and disassemble the internal cappuccinatore (see 'Cleaning the internal cappuccinatore under the tap'). Rinse all parts under the tap. For a thorough cleaning, use the Philips milk circuit cleaner and perform the DEEP MILK CLEAN procedure via the cleaning (▲) menu. Note that if the parts have been cleaned in the dishwasher, they may have become clogged by food particles or detergent residues. A visual check that they are not obstructed is also recommended.
We advise you to perform the HygieSteam program every day: 1) Press 'Clean' on the control panel. 2) Select 'HygieSteam'. 3) Press the start button to start the process, then confirm all steps on the display.

You did not install the AquaClean filter during first installation, but after having brewed approx. 25 coffees (based on 100ml/3oz cups). The machine has to be completely limescale-free before you install the AquaClean filter.First descale the machine and then install a new AquaClean filter. After descaling, the filter counter is reset to 0/8. Always confirm filter activation in the machine menu. Also do this after filter replacement.
The new water filter does not fit.You are trying to install another filter than the AquaClean filter.Only the AquaClean filter fits into the machine.
