Cleaning the brew group
Regular cleaning of the brew group prevents coffee residues from clogging up the internal circuits. Visit
www.philips.com/coffee-care for support videos on how to remove, insert and clean the brew group.
Cleaning the brew group under the tap
1 Remove the brew group (see 'Removing and inserting the brew group').
2 Rinse the brew group thoroughly with water. Carefully clean the upper filter (Fig. 30) of the brew group.
3 Let the brew group air-dry before you place it back. Do not dry the brew group with a cloth to prevent
