hard-water areas in this respect. Descaling takes about 1 hour. Do not
interrupt the descaling process.

SENSEO
coffee machine at least every 3 months. Your reasons to descale:
- It prolongs the life of your SENSEO
- It ensures maximum cup volume
- It ensures maximum coffee temperature
- The machine produces less sound during brewing
- It prevents malfunctioning
If the descaling procedure is not performed correctly, scale residue remains
behind in the machine. This causes scale to build up more quickly and may
cause permanent and irreparable damage to the machine.
Only citric acid-based descalers are suitable for descaling the SENSEO
machine. This type of descaler descales the machine without damaging it.
For the correct amount, see under 'Descaling procedure' below. Each
descaling mixture can be used only once. Use a new descaling mixture each
time. We advise you to use the special SENSEO
instruction leaflet in the package. For more information on why it is
important to descale, how to descale or which descaler to use, visit our
website at www.philips.com/descale-senseo.
The CALC button lights up to indicate you have to descale your machine.
The descaling procedure consists of a descaling cycle and 3 flushing cycles
with fresh water to ensure all descaler residue is removed from the machine.
Do not interrupt the descaling cycle and do not switch off the machine
before you have performed the flushing cycles. The whole procedure takes
approximately 60 minutes.
Note: Place the milk spout in the machine to ensure proper descaling.
1 Place the 1-cup pod holder with a used coffee pod or the thin descaling
filter in the coffee machine. The used coffee and the thin descaling filter
pod serve as a filter and prevents the sieve in the pod holder from getting
clogged with scale.
2 Close the lid and make sure it is properly locked.
