under the spout to collect the descaling

mixture. (Fig. 7)

D

Make sure the bowl is placed stably on the

drip tray or the foot of the machine to

prevent it from wobbling or toppling over

during descaling. You can also use a square or

rectangular container.

steps 3 to 6 once more.

two full water reservoirs.

7.0.3 Use the correct descaling agent

B

Warning:

Never use a descaling agent based on mineral

acids such as sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid,

sulphamic acid and acetic acid (e.g. vinegar). These

descaling agents may damage your SENSEO

®

coffee machine.

Only citric acid-based descalers are suitable for

descaling the SENSEO

®

machine. This type of

descaler descales the appliance without damaging

it. For the correct amount, see under ‘Descaling

procedure’ below. Each descaling mixture can be

used only once. After use, the descaling mixture is

no longer active.

We advise you to use the special SENSEO

®

Descaler (HD7012/HD7011/HD7006). Read the

instructions on the package of the descaler.

D

Note:

The special SENSEO

®

descaler can be bought in

the shops that sell SENSEO

®

machines or on the

internet at www.shop.philips.com/service.

7.0.4 Descaling procedure

1

Mix 50 grams of citric acid with 1 litre of

water in a measuring jug. Stir until the powder

is completely dissolved.

2

Fill the water reservoir with the descaler

mixture. Then put the water reservoir back

into the coffee machine. (Fig. 26)

3

Press the on/off button 3. (Fig. 9)

The machine is ready for use when the light in

the on/off button lights up continuously.

4

Place the 1-cup pod holder q with a used

coffee pod in it in the coffee machine. Close

the lid and lock the lever.

D

Note:

Always put a used coffee pod in the pod

holder when you descale the machine. This

pod serves as a ‘filter’ to prevent the sieve

in the pod holder from getting clogged with

scale residue.
