9 Descaling
Scale builds up inside the machine during use. It is
essential to descale the SENSEO ® coffee machine
when the CALC light goes on.
When to descale
• Descale the SENSEO ® coffee machine as
described below when the CALC button
lights up (after you have brewed approx. 400
cups of SENSEO ® coffee).
Why to descale
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 descaling agent
Use SENSEO ® Descaler (HD7012, HD7011) only.
It has been developed to ensure better machine
performance and operation. Each descaling
mixture can be used only once. For more
information about this descaler, visit our website
www.philips.com.
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.
9.1 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. 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.
