Descaling (new procedure)

When to descale

-- Descale the SENSEO® coffee machine as described below when the CALC light goes on (after you have brewed approx. 400 cups of SENSEO® coffee).

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 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 After use, the descaling mixture is no longer active.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.
