It is important to descale your Philips Coffee Maker regularly to ensure optimal brewing results. Below you can find detailed instructions on how you can do this.
Note: To descale the coffee maker, you can use any liquid descaler or use white household vinegar (4% acetic acid). We advise you not to use powder descalers or descaling tablets as they could harm the inside of your coffee maker.

Switch on the machine
Let it brew until the water tank is empty then switch off the machine and let it cool down for 3 minutes
Repeat step 5-7 for two more times until the water in the jug no longer tastes or smells like vinegar.
