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. 38).
5 Immerse the filter upside down in a jug with cold water and shake/press it (Fig. 39).
6 Insert the filter vertically onto the filter connection in the water tank. Press it down to the lowest
possible point (Fig. 40).
7 Fill the water tank with fresh water and place it back into the machine.
8 If attached, remove the LatteGo.
9 Place a bowl under the hot water spout.
10 Press the start/stop
11 Hot water will be dispensed from the hot water spout during 1 minute.
12 The filter is now successfully activated.
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
status indicator drops to 0% to remind you to replace the filter. As long as the AquaClean status
indicator is shown on the display, you can replace the filter without having to descale the machine
first. If you do not replace the AquaClean water filter in time, the AquaClean indicator goes out after
some time. In that case you can still replace the filter but you first need to descale the machine.
