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 descaling agent
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. After use, the descaling mixture is no
longer active.
We advise you to use the special SENSEO
®
Descaler
(HD7012, HD7011, HD7006). For more information
about this descaler, visit our website
www.philips.com.
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.
