AquaClean water filter
Your machine is AquaClean enabled. You can place the AquaClean water filter in the water
tank to preserve the taste of your coffee. It also diminishes the need for descaling by reducing
limescale build-up in your machine. You can purchase an AquaClean water filter from your
local retailer, from authorized service centers or online at www.philips.com/parts-and-
accessories.
AquaClean filter status indication
When the AquaClean is active, the status of the AquaClean filter is always visible on the
screen as a percentage.
- If the status of the AquaClean filter is 10% or less, the screen shows a message for 2
seconds each time you switch on the machine. This message advises you to buy a new
filter.
- If the status of the filter is 0%, the machine asks you to replace the AquaClean filter every
time you switch on the machine.
Activating the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)
The machine does not automatically detect that a filter has been placed in the water tank.
Therefore you need to activate each new AquaClean water filter that you install in the 'Clean'
menu.
When the machine stops showing the filter activation message, you can still activate an
AquaClean water filter, but you will need to descale the machine first.
Your machine has to be completely limescale-free before you start using the AquaClean
water filter.
Before activating the AquaClean water filter, it has to be prepared by soaking it in water as
described below. If you don't do this, air might be drawn into the machine instead of water,
which makes a lot of noise and prevents the machine from being able to brew coffee.
1 Tap the 'Clean'
2 Tap the OK icon to confirm.
3 Tap the OK icon again when the activation screen appears. Follow the instructions on the
screen.
4 Shake the filter for about 5 seconds (Fig. 45).
5 Immerse the filter upside down in a jug with cold water and shake/press it (Fig. 46).
6 Insert the filter vertically onto the filter connection in the water tank. Press it down to the
lowest possible point (Fig. 47).
7 Fill the water tank with fresh water and place it back into the machine.
