Descaling Procedure - Philips SENSEO HD7870 User Manual

7.1 Descaling procedure

The descaling procedure consists of a descaling
cycle and two flushing cycles. Do not interrupt the
descaling cycle and do not switch off the machine
before you have performed the two flushing
cycles.
Mix 50 grams of citric acid with 1 litre of
1
water in a measuring jug. Stir until the powder
has dissolved. Fill the water reservoir with the
descaling mixture.
Tilt the water reservoir and place the bottom
2
back onto the machine (1). Then press the top
of the water reservoir towards the machine (2).
Press the on/off button 3. The on/off button
3
flashes slowly while the water heats up. The
machine is ready for descaling when the on/
off button lights up continuously.
Place the 1-cup pod holder q with a used
4
coffee pod in it in the coffee machine. Close
the lid and make sure it is properly locked.
Note:
D
Always put a used coffee pod in the pod
holder when you descale the machine. This
pod serves as a 'filter' to prevent the sieve or
hole in the pod holder from getting clogged
with scale residue.
Warning:
B
Make sure the lid is closed properly and the
lid lever is locked before you start descaling
the machine.
Remove the drip tray.

Put a bowl with a capacity of at least
6
1.5 litres under the spout to collect the
descaling mixture.
