AquaClean water filter

Your machine is AquaClean enabled. You can place the AquaClean water filter in the water tank to preserve
the taste of your coffee. It also diminishes the need for descaling by reducing limescale build-up in your
machine. You can purchase an AquaClean water filter from your local retailer, from authorized service
centers or online at www.philips.com/parts-and-accessories.
AquaClean icon and light
Your machine is equipped with an AquaClean water filter light (Fig. 40) to indicate the status of the filter.
Use the table below to see what actions are required when the light is on or when it is flashing.
When you use the machine for the first time, the AquaClean light starts flashing
orange. This indicates that you can start using the AquaClean water filter. If you do not
activate an AquaClean water filter, the light will switch off automatically after a while.
Once you have installed the filter and activated it with the AquaClean icon, the
AquaClean light turns blue to confirm that the AquaClean water filter is active.
When the filter is exhausted, the AquaClean light starts flashing orange again to
remind you to replace the filter with a new one.
When the orange AquaClean light is off, you can still activate an AquaClean filter, you
will need to descale the machine first.
Activating the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)
The machine does not automatically detect that a filter has been placed in the water tank. Therefore you
need to activate each new AquaClean water filter that you install with the AquaClean icon.
When the orange AquaClean light is off, you can still activate an AquaClean water filter, but you will need
to descale the machine first.
Your machine has to be completely limescale-free before you start to use the AquaClean water filter.
Before activating the AquaClean water filter, it has to be prepared by soaking it in water as described below.
If you don't do this, air might be drawn into the machine instead of water, which makes a lot of noise and
prevents the machine from being able to brew coffee.
