Cleaning the grinder funnel
Important: Clean the grinder funnel every 1 to 2 weeks to prevent clogging with ground coffee. This
is easily and quickly done by following the steps below.
Note: Make sure the coffee bean container is empty before you start the cleaning procedure.
1 Press the on/off button to switch off the coffee machine (Fig. 21).
2 Open the filter basket holder (Fig. 14).
3 Place a paper filter (type 1x4 or no. 4) or the permanent filter in the filter basket (Fig. 15).
4 Close the filter basket holder.
5 Use the end of the bean chute cleaning brush to open the grinder funnel lid (Fig. 22).
6 Press and hold the strength select button for 4 seconds (Fig. 23). The grinder starts cleaning itself.
7 When the grinder has stopped cleaning, use the bean chute cleaning brush to brush ground coffee
residues into the lower part of the funnel (Fig. 24). The ground coffee residues fall into the filter
basket.
8 Close the lid of the grinder funnel.
9 Remove the paper filter or permanent filter with the ground coffee residues.
Descaling the coffee machine
Descale the coffee machine when you notice excessive steaming or when the brewing time increases.
It is advisable to descale the coffee machine every two months. Only use white vinegar to descale, as
other products may cause damage to the coffee machine. For more information on descaling, see
www.philips.com/descale-coffeemaker.
Warning: Never use vinegar with an acetic acid content of 8% or more, natural vinegar,
powder descalers or tablet descalers to descale the appliance, as this may cause
damage.

2 Fill the water reservoir with white vinegar (4% acetic acid) up to the 10-cup indication.
3 Place a paper filter (type 1x4 or no. 4) or the permanent filter in the filter basket and close the filter
basket holder.
