9 Descaling
Scale builds up inside the machine during use. It is
essential to descale the SENSEO
when the CALC light goes on.
When to descale
•
Descale the SENSEO
described below when the CALC button
lights up (after you have brewed approx.
400 cups of SENSEO
Why to descale
Your reasons to descale:
•
It prolongs the life of your SENSEO
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.
Warning:
B
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.
Warning:
B
Make sure you place the milk spout for proper
descaling.
Note:
D
You can always descale your machine before the
appliance indicates it is necessary, follow the steps
below.
Mix the descaler with 1 litre of water in
1
a measuring jug. Stir until the powder has
dissolved. Fill the water reservoir with the
descaling solution. (Fig. 44)
Tilt the water reservoir and place the bottom
