Cleaning the insulated jug

Do not immerse the insulated jug in water or any other liquid and do not clean it in the
dishwasher.
1 To remove the lid from the jug, turn it by its lever to the 'remove lid' symbol. Then pull the lid off the
jug (Fig. 32).
2 Clean the inside of the jug with a soft brush, hot water and some washing-up liquid (Fig. 33).
Tip: To remove stubborn brown deposits, fill the jug with hot water and add a spoonful of sodium
carbonate. Let the sodium carbonate do its work for some time.
3 After cleaning, rinse the jug with fresh hot water (Fig. 34).
4 To put the lid on the jug, insert the two projections of the lid into the openings in the rim of the jug.
Then turn the lid to the right to the 'closed/brewing' symbol (Fig. 35) on the rim.

Descaling the coffeemaker

When the message 'CALC' appears on the display (after approx. 60 brewing cycles), you need to
descale the coffeemaker, as scale can clog the coffeemaker. Regular descaling prolongs the life of the
coffeemaker and guarantees optimal brewing results and a constant brewing time for a long time.
Only use white vinegar to descale, as other products may cause damage to the coffeemaker. For more
information on descaling, see www.philips.com/descale-coffeemaker.
Descale the coffeemaker:
- every 120 brewing cycles if you use soft water (up to 18dH).
- every 60 brewing cycles if you use hard water (over 18dH).
Tip: You can contact your local water board for information about the water hardness in your area.
Note: If you do not know the water hardness in your area and are unable to contact your local water
board, we advise you to descale the appliance every time the 'CALC' message appears on the display.
Note: To remove the 'CALC' message from the display, press the cups button and the strength button
simultaneously.
1 Open the water reservoir lid.
2 Fill the water reservoir up to 10 cup indication with white vinegar (4% acetic acid).
3 Place a paper filter (type 1x4 or no. 4) or the permanent filter in the filter basket and close the filter
basket holder.
4 Put the empty jug in the appliance (Fig. 7).
5 Put the mains plug in the wall socket.
6 Press the start/standby button (Fig. 2).
7 Press the pre-ground coffee button to switch off the grinder (Fig. 8). Then press the start/standby
button to start the brewing cycle.
8 Wait until half of the vinegar has flowed into the jug. Then press the start/standby button to
interrupt the brewing cycle. Let the vinegar act for at least 15 minutes.
9 Press the start/standby button to switch the coffeemaker back on. Then press the start/standby
button again to let the appliance complete the brewing cycle.
10 Empty the jug and remove the filter.
