Descaling
When the descale light is on, it is time to descale your coffee machine.
Under no circumstances should sulfuric, hydrochloric, aminosulfonic or acetic acid (vinegar) based
descaler be used, as this may damage the water circuit in the coffee machine and may not
completely remove limescale.
Failure to use Philips descaler will void the warranty. Failure to descale the machine will also void
the warranty.
The descaler is not supplied with the machine. You can purchase Philips descaler from a local
supplier or online store (www.philips.com/coffee-care).
The descaling procedure includes one descaling cycle (≈ 4 minutes) and one rinsing cycle (≈ 3
minutes).
Descaling procedure
1 Turn on the coffee machine.
2 Remove the drip tray, empty water in it and put it back.
3 Remove the water tank and empty water in it.
4 Pour the Philips descaler (CA6700) into the water tank, and fill it to the descale level (descale
icon printed on the water tank).
5 Reinsert the water tank, and position a large bowl (≥1.2 L) under the brewing head and steam
wand for liquid collection (Fig. 31).
6 Initiate descaling by simultaneously pressing the Espresso and Double Espresso buttons for three
seconds, acknowledging the beep.
7 Let the machine dispense descaler. Once finished, the machine will power off automatically.
8 Remove the water tank and clean any remaining descaler solution by rinsing it with fresh water.
9 Refill the water tank to the max level indicated on it with fresh water.
10Reposition the large bowl under the brewing head and steam wand for water collection.
11Press the On/Off button. The Espresso button light turns on.
12Press the Espresso button and let the machine dispense water.
13Once the machine has finished, the descaling procedure is complete, and the machine will
automatically be ready to brew.
Automatic sleep mode
If the machine is not operated for 30 minutes, it will enter the sleep mode automatically, with all
the indicators turned off.
To use the machine again, press the On/Off button to restart it.
You can also turn off the machine by pressing the On/Off button while it's powered-on.
Cleaning and maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will keep your coffee machine in optimal condition and serve
tasty coffee for a long time.
