Machines with adjustable spout and milk tube

Warning

To avoid the danger of burns, be aware that dispensing steam or hot water may be preceded and followed by small jets of hot water or steam.
Never touch or open the door of the internal cappuccinatore while dispensing drinks, as it may become very hot.
Never touch the metal part of the milk tube during and right after performing one of the cleaning programs for the internal cappuccinatore, as it may become very hot. Let it cool down first.
Never drink the solution dispensed during the monthly cleaning procedure of the milk circuit.

Caution

For hygienic reasons, make sure that the outer surface of the adjustable spout and milk tube is clean.
Make sure that the milk tube is connected to the cappuccinatore before you select a milk-based drink.
Do not put any other liquids in the milk container than water (for cleaning) or milk.
After brewing milk-based drinks, the adjustable spout automatically dispenses a small amount of steam to clean the internal cappuccinatore.
Be careful, the adjustable spout and the metal part of the milk tube may be hot if the machine has been used recently.
Be careful when you open the internal cappuccinatore door, the adjustable spout may dispense a small amount of steam to clean the internal cappuccinatore.
If the internal cappuccinatore door is difficult to close, check if the internal cappuccinatore is inserted correctly. Follow the instructions in the user manual. Do not push the internal cappuccinatore too far on the spout when you insert it. In this case, the internal cappuccinatore would not work correctly as it would not be able to suck up milk.
The metal part of the milk tube may become hot. To avoid the danger of burns, always put the milk tube in the HygieSteam container before you start the cleaning program for the internal cappuccinatore.
Do not clean the internal cappuccinatore in the dishwasher.

Machines with Wi-Fi connection

Caution

Before you operate the coffee machine remotely, make sure that the environment of the machine is safe.
The machine will also perform the automatic rinsing cycle during remote operation.

AquaClean water filter

Read this important information carefully before you use the AquaClean water filter and save it for future reference.

Warning

The AquaClean water filter is only designed for use with municipally treated tap water (which is constantly controlled and safe to drink according to legal regulations) and with water from private supplies which has been approved as safe to drink. If an instruction is received from the authorities that municipal water must be boiled, the filtered water must also be boiled. When the instruction to boil water is no longer in force, the entire coffee machine must be cleaned and a new cartridge inserted.
Clean the water tank regularly.
For certain groups of people (e.g. people with weakened immune systems and babies) it is generally recommended to fill the water tank with purified water or boiled tap water, even when the AquaClean water filter is installed.
For hygienic reasons, the material of the AquaClean water filter is subjected to a special treatment with silver. A small quantity of silver, which is harmless to health, may end up in the filtered water. This is in compliance with the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendations for drinking water.
– If you suffer from kidney disease, are a dialysis patient and/or follow a sodium-restricted diet, please note that during the filtration process, the sodium content may be increased slightly. We advise you to consult your doctor first before using the filtered water.
When you descale the coffee machine, always remove the AquaClean water filter from the water tank.
Then thoroughly clean the whole water tank and replace the AquaClean water filter.
Philips does not accept any responsibility or liability if the above recommendations for using and replacing the AquaClean water filter are not followed.
Caution
Store replacement AquaClean water filters in a cool and dry place in their original, sealed packaging.
As water is a foodstuff, the water in the water tank must be used up within 1 to 2 days.
If you have not used your coffee machine for a prolonged period (e.g. a holiday, a period over 3 months from installation, or when a new filter is required), perform the procedure described in ‘Activating the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)’ in the user manual.
