Adjusting machine settings

Setting the water hardness
We advise you to adjust the water hardness setting to the water hardness level in your region for optimal performance and a longer lifetime of the machine. This also prevents you from having to descale the machine too often. The default water hardness setting is 4: hard water.
Use the water hardness test strip supplied in the box to determine the water hardness in your region:

Immerse the water hardness test strip in tap water or hold it under the tap for 1 second (Fig. 18).
Wait 1 minute. The number of squares on the test strip that turn red indicate the water hardness (Fig. 19).

Set the machine to the correct water hardness:

Tap the Settings icon and use the up and down arrows to select ‘Water hardness’. Then press the OK icon to confirm.
Use the up and down arrows to select the water hardness level. The number of red squares selected on the display should be the same as the number of red squares on the test strip (Fig. 20). 3 When you have set the correct water hardness, tap the OK icon to confirm.

Adjusting the grind setting
You can change the coffee strength with the grind setting knob inside the bean container. The lower the grind setting, the finer the coffee beans are ground and the stronger the coffee becomes. There are 12 different grind settings you can choose from.
The machine has been set up to get the best taste out of your coffee beans. Therefore we advise you not to adjust the grind setting until you have brewed 100-150 cups (approx. 1 month of use).

You can only adjust the grind setting when the machine is grinding coffee beans. You need to brew 2 to 3 drinks before you can taste the full difference.

Do not turn the grind setting knob more than one notch at a time to prevent damage to the grinder.

Place a cup under the coffee dispensing spout.
Remove the lid from the coffee bean hopper (Fig. 21).
Tap the Espresso icon and then press the start/stop button.
When the grinder starts grinding, press down the grind setting knob and turn it to the left or right (Fig. 22).

Adjusting other machine settings
By tapping the Settings icon you can adjust the following machine settings:

Water hardness: you can choose between 5 levels according to the water hardness in your region.
Standby time: you can select 15, 30, 60 or 180 minutes.
Display brightness: you can select low, medium and high.
Language: you can select the display language of your preference.
Sound: you can activate or deactivate the beeping sound of the machine.
Front illumination: you can choose ‘always on’, ‘on during brewing’ or ‘always off’.
Measuring unit: you can choose between ml. or oz.

Restoring factory settings
The machine offers you the possibility to restore the factory settings at any moment.

Tap the Settings icon.
Use the up and down arrows to select ‘Factory settings’. Confirm by tapping the OK icon.
Press the start/stop button to confirm that you want to restore the settings.
- The settings are now restored.

The following factory settings are restored to default: water hardness, standby time, display brightness, sound, front illumination, profiles.

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 or online retailer or authorized service centers.

AquaClean filter status indication
When the AquaClean is active, the status of the AquaClean filter is always visible on the screen as a percentage.

If the status of the AquaClean filter is 10% or less, the screen shows a message for 2 seconds each time you switch on the machine. This message advises you to buy a new filter.
If the status of the filter is 0%, the machine asks you to replace the AquaClean filter every time you switch on the machine.

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 in the ‘Clean’ menu.

When the machine stops showing the filter activation message, 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 using 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.

Tap the ‘Clean’ icon and use the up and down arrows to select ‘AquaClean’.
Tap the OK icon to confirm.
Tap the OK icon again when the activation screen appears. Follow the instructions on the screen.
Shake the filter for about 5 seconds (Fig. 23).
Immerse the filter upside down in a jug with cold water and shake/press it (Fig. 24).
Insert the filter vertically onto the filter connection in the water tank. Press it down to the lowest possible point (Fig. 25).
Fill the water tank with fresh water and place it back into the machine.
Place a bowl under the spout.
Press the start/stop button to start the activation process.
Hot water will be dispensed from the spout during 1 minute.
The filter is now successfully activated.

Replacing the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)
After 95 liters of water have flowed through the filter, the filter will cease to work. The AquaClean status indicator drops to 0% to remind you to replace the filter. As long as the AquaClean status indicator is shown on the display, you can replace the filter without having to descale the machine first. If you do not replace the AquaClean water filter in time, the AquaClean indicator goes out after some time. In that case you can still replace the filter but you first need to descale the machine. When the AquaClean status indicator drops to 0% or when the machine reminds you to replace the AquaClean filter:

take out the old AquaClean water filter.
install a new filter and activate it as described in chapter ‘Activating the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)’.

Replace the AquaClean water filter at least every 3 months, even if the machine does not yet indicate that replacement is required.

Removing and inserting the brew group

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 authorized service centers.

When the machine asks you to descale it, tap the OK icon to start. To start descaling without being prompted by the machine, tap the Clean icon and select ‘Descale’.
Remove the drip tray, the coffee grounds container and the HygieSteam container (Fig. 35), empty them and put them back into place.
Remove the water tank and empty it. Then remove the AquaClean filter.
Pour the whole bottle of Philips descaler into the water tank and then fill it with water up to the CALC CLEAN level (Fig. 51). Then place it back into the machine.
Place a large container (1.5 l) under the coffee dispensing spout.
Make sure that the HygieSteam container is correctly assembled (Fig. 44) and attached to the machine (Fig. 45). Place the milk tube in the milk tube holder (Fig. 46).
Follow the instructions on the screen to start the descaling procedure. The descaling procedure lasts approx. 30 minutes and consists of a descaling cycle and a rinsing cycle.
Once the descaling cycle is finished, you need to rinse the water tank and water circuit. Follow the instructions on the screen.
Place a new AquaClean filter in the water tank and activate it (see ‘Activating the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)’).

Tip: Using the AquaClean filter reduces the need for descaling!

What to do if the descaling procedure is interrupted
You can exit the descaling procedure by pressing the on/off button on the control panel. If the descaling procedure is interrupted before it is completely finished, do the following:

Empty and rinse the water tank thoroughly.
Fill the water tank with fresh water up to the CALC CLEAN level indication and switch the machine back on. The machine will heat up and perform an automatic rinsing cycle.
Before brewing any drinks, perform a manual rinsing cycle. To perform a manual rinsing cycle, first dispense half a water tank of hot water and then brew 2 cups of pre-ground coffee without adding ground coffee.

Note: If the descaling procedure was not completed, the machine will require another descaling procedure as soon as possible.
