Note: To clean a pod holder even more effectively, place it in the machine during descaling.

7 Clean the water distribution disc with a moist cloth. Be careful when you do this. Make sure that the

rubber sealing ring does not get stuck under the edge of the water distribution disc. If it does, the

coffee machine starts to leak (Fig. 49).

Descaling

When to descale

Descale the SENSEO® coffee machine when the CALC light lights up, but at least once every 3

months. There is no difference between soft-water and hard-water areas in this respect. Descaling

takes about 1 hour. Do not interrupt the descaling process.

Why to descale

Scale builds up inside the machine during use. It is essential to descale the SENSEO® coffee machine

at least every 3 months. Your reasons to descale:

It prolongs the life of your SENSEO® coffee machine

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.

Use the correct descaler

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® Descaler (HD7012/HD7011). Read the 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.

Descaling procedure

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 in the coffee machine. The used coffee pod

serves as a filter and prevents the sieve in the pod holder from getting clogged with scale (Fig. 51).

2 Close the lid and make sure it is properly locked.

3 Mix the descaler powder with 1 liter of water in a measuring jug. Stir until the powder is completely

dissolved (Fig. 52). Fill the water reservoir up to the MAX indication with the descaler mixture.
