1 Open the lid of the coffee maker (Fig. 3).
2 Fill the water tank with fresh cold water up to the required level (Fig. 4).
You can brew 4 large cups (120ml) or 6 small cups (80ml) with a full water tank
Note: The lines on the water level window correspond to large cups.
3 Take a paper lter (type 1x2 or no. 2) and fold the sealed edges to prevent tearing and
folding (Fig. 7).
4 Put the lter in the lter holder (Fig. 8).
Note: Some versions come with a permanent lter. In this case you do not need to use paper lters.
5 Put ground coffee (lter-ne grind) in the lter (Fig. 9).
- For large cups: use one heaped measuring spoon of ground coffee for each cup.
- For small cups: use one level measuring spoon of ground coffee for each cup.
6 Close the lid of the coffee maker. (Fig. 10)
7 Place the jug with the lid closed on the hotplate (Fig. 5).
Note: If you do not place the jug properly on the hotplate, the drip stop prevents the coffee from owing
into the jug. This may cause the lter to overow.
8 Set the on/off switch to ‘I’ to switch on the appliance (Fig. 6).
,The power-on light goes on.
9 Let the water pass through the lter into the jug.
Note: If you want to remove the jug during or after brewing, the drip-stop system prevents coffee from
dripping through the lter onto the hotplate (Fig. 11).
10 Put the jug with the remaining coffee back onto the hotplate to keep the coffee hot and to
preserve its avour.
11 After use, set the on/off switch to ‘O’ to switch off the appliance.

Regular descaling prolongs the life of the appliance and guarantees optimal brewing results for a
long time.
In case of normal use (two full jugs of coffee every day), descale the appliance:
- 2 or 3 times a year if you use soft water (up to 18dH);
- 4 or 5 times a year if you use hard water (over 18dH).
Contact your local water board for information about the water hardness in your area.
1 Fill the water tank with white vinegar (4% acetic acid). Do not put a lter and ground coffee
in the lter holder.
Note: You can also use an appropriate liquid descaler. In this case, follow the instructions on the package
of the descaler.
2 Let the appliance complete two brewing cycles (see chapter ‘Using the appliance’).
3 Let the appliance complete two more brewing cycles with fresh cold water to remove any
vinegar/descaler and scale residues.
4 Clean the jug and the lter holder (see chapter ‘Cleaning’).

This chapter summarises the most common problems you could encounter with the appliance. If
you are unable to solve the problem with the information below, contact the Consumer Care
Centre in your country.
Problem Solution
The appliance does not work. Make sure that:
- the appliance is plugged in.
- the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the
local mains voltage.
- the appliance is switched on.
In all other cases, contact the Philips Consumer Care Centre.
Water leaks out of the appliance. Make sure that:
- the water tank is not lled beyond the MAX level.
In all other cases, contact the Philips Consumer Care Centre.
The appliance takes a long time to
brew coffee. Descale the appliance (see chapter ‘Descaling’).
The appliance produces a lot of
noise and steam during the
brewing process.
Make sure that:
- the water tank is lled with COLD water.
- the appliance is not blocked by scale. If necessary, descale
the appliance (see chapter ‘Descaling’).
Coffee grounds end up in the jug. Make sure that:
- the lter holder has not overowed because there is too
much ground coffee in the lter.
- the lter holder has not overowed because the jug has
not been placed correctly under the lter holder.
- the opening in the bottom of the lter holder is not
clogged.
- you use the right size of paper lter (1x2 or no. 2).
- the paper lter is not torn.
The coffee is too weak. Make sure that:
- you use the right proportion of coffee to water.
- the paper lter has not collapsed.
- you use the right size of paper lter (1x2 or no. 2).
The coffee does not taste good. Do not leave the jug with coffee on the hotplate too long,
especially not if it only contains a small amount of coffee.
The coffee is not hot enough. Make sure that:
 9

Problem Solution
- you place the jug properly on the hotplate.
- the hotplate and the jug are clean (see chapter ‘Cleaning’).
We advise you to ll the water tank at least to the MIN
indication on the water level window when you brew coffee,
to ensure that the coffee has the right temperature.
Tips:
- use thin cups, because they absorb less heat from the
coffee than thick cups.
- do not use cold milk straight from the refrigerator.
There is less coffee in the jug than
expected. Make sure you place the jug properly on the hotplate. If the jug is not placed properly on the hotplate, the drip
stop prevents the coffee from owing out of the lter.
