Reinserting the brew group
Before you slide the brew group back into the machine, make sure it is in the correct position.
1 Check if the brew group is in the correct position. The arrow on the yellow cylinder on the side of the
brew group has to be aligned with the black arrow and N (Fig. 30).
-
If they are not aligned, push down the lever until it is in contact with the base of the brew group (Fig.
31).
2 Slide the brew group back into the machine along the guiding rails on the sides (Fig. 32) until it locks into
position with a click (Fig. 33). Do not press the PUSH button.
3 Close the service door and place back the water tank.

How to clean
Remove the brew group from the machine (see
'Removing and inserting the brew group').
Rinse it under the tap (see 'Cleaning the brew
group under the tap').
Clean the brew group with the Philips coffee
oil remover tablet (see 'Cleaning the brew
group with the coffee oil remover tablets').
First clean the milk frother while it is attached
to the machine by using the 'Quick milk clean'
program (see 'Quick cleaning the classic milk
frother'). Then remove the milk frother from
the machine and disassemble it. Clean all parts
under the tap or in the dishwasher. Let the
parts air dry before reassembling them.
Unplug the machine and remove the brew
group. Open the lid of the pre-ground coffee
compartment and insert the spoon handle into
it. Move the handle up and down until the
clogged ground coffee falls down (Fig. 34). Go
to www.philips.com/coffee-care for detailed
video instructions.
Remove the coffee grounds container while
the machine is switched on. Rinse it under the
tap with some washing-up liquid or clean it in
the dishwasher. The front panel of the coffee
grounds container (Fig. A15) is not
dishwasher-safe.
