Check the coffee funnel

clogged.

on which you have performed a cleaning action.
Cleaning the brew group
Regular cleaning of the brew group prevents coffee residues from clogging up the internal
circuits. Visit www.philips.com/coffee-care for support videos on how to remove, insert and
clean the brew group.
Cleaning the brew group under the tap
1 Remove the brew group and the coffee residues drawer.
2 Rinse the coffee residues drawer and the brew group thoroughly with water. Carefully
clean the upper filter of the brew group.
3 Let the brew group air-dry before you place it back. Do not dry the brew group with a cloth
to prevent fibers from collecting inside the brew group.
Cleaning the brew group with the coffee oil remover tablets
Only use Phillips Saeco coffee oil remover tablets. Follow the instructions given in the user
manual that comes with the coffee oil remover tablets.
Lubricating the brew group
Lubricate the brew group regularly to ensure that the moving parts continue to move
smoothly. See the table below for the lubrication frequency. Visit www.philips.com/coffee-
care for detailed video instructions.
