Lubricating the brew group
To improve your machine's performance, we suggest that you lubricate the brew group every 2 months, to
ensure that the moving parts continue to move smoothly.
1 Apply a thin layer of grease on the piston (grey part) of the brew group (Fig. 27).
2 Apply a thin layer of grease around the shaft (grey part) in the bottom of the brew group (Fig. 28).
3 Apply a thin layer of grease to the guiding rails on both sides (Fig. 29).
Cleaning programs for the internal cappuccinatore
The machines tells you when to clean the internal cappuccinatore.
The machine has three programs to clean the internal cappuccinatore:
-
'HygieSteam Shot': during the preparation of a milk-based drink, the machine automatically shoots
steam through the internal cappuccinatore to rinse it quickly.
-
'HygieSteam': the machine thoroughly cleans the internal milk system with steam. Make sure that the
HygieSteam container is correctly assembled (Fig. 30) and attached to the machine (Fig. 31). Place the
milk tube in the milk tube holder (Fig. 32) and follow the instructions on the screen.
-
'Deep Milk Clean': Perform the 'Deep Milk Clean' procedure with the Philips milk circuit cleaner for a
thorough cleaning of the internal milk system.
Cleaning the internal cappuccinatore under the tap
1 Open the door of the internal cappuccinatore (Fig. 33).
2 Remove the internal cappuccinatore by pulling it down (Fig. 34).
3 Disassemble the internal cappuccinatore by pulling the bottom part off the top part (Fig. 35).
4 Disassemble all parts (Fig. 36) and clean them under the tap.
5 Reassemble the internal cappuccinatore.
6 To place back the internal cappuccinatore, put it in upright position and make sure the holes are aligned
with the two tubes on the machine. Then move the internal cappuccinatore upwards until it locks into
place (Fig. 1).
7 Close the door.

Descaling procedure

Please use Philips descaler only. Under no circumstances should you use a descaler based on sulfuric acid,
hydrochloric acid, sulfamic or acetic acid (vinegar) as this may damage the water circuit in your machine and
will not dissolve the limescale properly. Not using the Philips descaler will void your warranty. Failure to
descale the appliance will also void your warranty. You can buy Philips descaler from your local or online
retailer or from authorized service centers.
1 When the machine asks you to descale it, tap the confirmation
being prompted by the machine, tap the 'Status' icon and select 'Descale'.
2 Remove the drip tray, the coffee grounds container and the HygieSteam container (Fig. 22), empty them
and put them back into place.
3 Remove the water tank and empty it. Then remove the AquaClean filter.
4 Pour the whole bottle of Philips descaler into the water tank and then fill it with water up to the CALC
CLEAN level (Fig. 37). Then place the water tank back into the machine.
5 Place a large container (1.5 l) under the coffee dispensing spout.
6 Make sure that the HygieSteam container is correctly assembled (Fig. 30) and attached to the machine
(Fig. 31). Place the milk tube in the milk tube holder.
