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. The AquaClean water filter also diminishes the need for descaling by
reducing limescale build-up in your machine. You can purchase an AquaClean water filter from
Amazon through the Coffee + app, from your local retailer, from authorized service centers or online
at www.philips.com/parts-and-accessories.
AquaClean icon and light
Your machine is equipped with an AquaClean water filter light (Fig. 40) to indicate the status of the
filter. Use the table below to see what actions are required when the light is on or when it is flashing.
When you use the machine for the first time, the AquaClean light starts flashing
orange. This indicates that you can start using the AquaClean water filter. If you do
not activate an AquaClean water filter, the light will switch off automatically after a
while.
Once you have installed the filter and activated it with the AquaClean icon, the
AquaClean light turns blue to confirm that the AquaClean water filter is active.
When the filter is exhausted, the AquaClean light starts flashing orange again to
remind you to replace the filter with a new one.
When the orange AquaClean light is off, you can still activate an AquaClean filter,
you will need to descale the machine first.
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 with the AquaClean
icon.
When the orange AquaClean light is off, 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 to use 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.
1Make sure that the machine is switched on.
2Shake the filter for about 5 seconds (Fig. 41).
3Immerse the filter upside down in a jug with cold water and shake/press it (Fig. 42).
4The filter is now prepared for use and can be inserted into the water tank.

5Insert the filter vertically onto the filter connection in the water tank. Press it down to the lowest
possible point (Fig. 43).
6Fill the water tank with fresh water and place it back into the machine.
7If attached, remove the LatteGo.
8Place a bowl under the hot water spout/milk frother.
9Press the AquaClean icon for 3 seconds (Fig. 44). The start light starts to pulse.
10 Press the start/stop button to start the activation process.
11 Hot water will be dispensed from the hot water spout/milk frother (3 min.).
12 When the activation process is finished, the blue AquaClean light goes on to confirm that the
AquaClean water filter has been activated correctly.
Replacing the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)
After 95 liters of water have flowed through the filter, the filter will cease to work. The AquaClean light
turns orange and starts to flash to remind you to replace the filter. As long as it flashes, you can
replace the filter without having to descale the machine first. If you do not replace the AquaClean
water filter, the orange light will go out eventually. In that case you can still replace the filter but you
first need to descale the machine.
When the orange AquaClean light flashes:
1Take out the old AquaClean water filter.
2Install a new filter and activate it as described in chapter 'Activating the AquaClean water filter (5
min.)'.
Replace the AquaClean water filter at least every 3 months, even if the machine does not yet
indicate that replacement is required.
By connecting your coffee machine to your Wi-Fi network and registering to Amazon Smart
Reorders in the Coffee + app, you enable automatic ordering of replacement filters and have them
delivered to your home.
Deactivating the AquaClean reminder
If you do not want to use Philips AquaClean water filters anymore, you can always deactivate the
AquaClean reminders (AquaClean light flashing orange):
1Press the on/off button to switch off the machine.
2When the machine is switched off, press and hold the AquaClean icon until the light in this icon
goes on. The start light starts flashing.
3Tap the AquaClean icon again to deactivate the reminders. The light in the AquaClean icon goes
off.
4Press the start/stop button to confirm your choice.
5Press the on/off button to switch on the machine again. The AquaClean reminders are now
deactivated.
Note: The activation of a new AquaClean filter will automatically re-activate the AquaClean reminders.

Setting the water hardness
We advise you to adjust the water hardness to the water hardness in your region for optimal
performance and a longer lifetime of the machine. This also prevents you from having to descale the
machine too often. The default water hardness setting is 4: hard water.
To change the water hardness settings, you can use the settings menu in the Coffee + app or follow
the steps below.
1 sec.
OFF
1 min. 3 sec.
=
3x
ON
Use the water hardness test strip supplied in the box to determine the water
hardness in your region:
1Immerse the water hardness test strip in tap water or hold it under the tap for 1 second (Fig. 45).
2Wait 1 minute. The number of squares on the test strip that turn red indicate the water hardness
(Fig. 46).
Set the machine to the correct water hardness:
1Press the on/off button to switch off the machine.
2When the machine is switched off, tap and hold the aroma strength icon until all lights in the icon
go on (Fig. 2).
3Tap the aroma strength icon 1, 2, 3 or 4 times. The number of lights that are on should be the same
as the number of red squares on the test strip (Fig. 47). When there are no red squares on the test
strip (so all squares are green) please select 1 light.
4When you have set the correct water hardness, press the start/stop button.
5Press the on/off icon to switch on the machine.
Since you only set the water hardness once, the aroma strength function is used to select the water
hardness. This does not affect the aroma strength of the drinks you make afterwards.
Descaling procedure (30 min.)
Please use Philips descaler only. Under no circumstances should you use a descaler based on sulfuric
acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfamic or acetic acid (vinegar) as this may damage the water circuit in your
machine and not dissolve the limescale properly. Not using the Philips descaler will void your
warranty. Failure to descale the appliance will also void your warranty. By connecting your coffee
machine to your Wi-Fi network and registering to Amazon Smart Reorders in the Coffee + app, you
enable automatic ordering of descaling solution and have it delivered to your home. You can also buy
descaling solution at www.philips.com/parts-and-accessories or go to your Philips dealer.
When the Calc / Clean light starts to flash slowly, you need to descale the machine.
1Make sure that the machine is switched on.
