7.2 Flushing the coffee machine

If you have not used the coffee machine for three
days, you have to flush it with fresh water to
refresh the water in the boiler before you use it
again.
Flush the machine in the following way:
Fill the water reservoir with cold water up to
1
the MAX indication and put it back onto the
machine. (Fig. 4)
Put the 1-cup pod holder q or the 2-cup pod
2
holder qq in the machine without pod or
pods. (Fig. 44)
Close the lid and lock the lid lever (Fig. 18).
3
Put a bowl (with a capacity of 1.5 litres) under
4
the coffee spout to collect the water (Fig. 3).
Press the on/off button 3. (Fig. 7)
5
• The light rings around the 1-cup button
q and the 2-cup button qq light up
continuously.
To start flushing, press the 1-cup button q
6
and the 2-cup button qq briefly at the same
time. (Fig. 8)
• During the flushing cycle, the water in
the water reservoir is flushed through
the machine and the boiler is filled with
fresh water. The flushing cycle takes some
time (approx. 90 to 150 seconds).
Warning:
B
Never interrupt the flushing cycle
halfway. If you do, the boiler does not
fill itself properly with fresh water.
Note:
D
During the flushing cycle, the machine
produces more noise than during a
regular brewing cycle.
The machine switches off automatically
•
when the flushing cycle ends.
Now your Philips SENSEO
machine is ready for use again.
