Philips hd7140 User Manual

Note: During brewing, you can only switch off the appliance by removing the mains plug from the wall

socket. When you reinsert the plug into the wall socket, the appliance continues brewing until the water

reservoir is empty.

The appliance switches off automatically after brewing. After the power-on light goes out,

wait until no more coffee drips from the coffee spout before you remove the cup or cups.

Note: The appliance does not keep the coffee hot.

The after-brew drip stop prevents coffee from dripping onto the drip tray after brewing. This

drip stop may cause some water to remain behind in the filter holder. This does not mean that

the filter is clogged.

If you have used a paper filter, throw it away (Fig. 8).

If you have used the permanent filter, empty and rinse it (Fig. 9).

Let the appliance cool down for at least 4 minutes before you start to brew coffee again.

cleaning

Never immerse the appliance in water.

Unplug the appliance.

Clean the appliance with a moist cloth.

Clean the separate parts (drip tray, filter holder and permanent filter, if any) in warm water

with some washing-up liquid or in the dishwasher.

Descaling

Regular descaling prolongs the life of the appliance and guarantees optimal brewing results for a

long time.

In case of normal use, 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.

Fill the water tank with white vinegar (4% acetic acid). Do not put a filter or ground coffee in

the filter holder.

Let the appliance complete two brewing cycles.

You can use the same vinegar for both brewing cycles.

Let the appliance complete two more brewing cycles with fresh, cold water to remove any

vinegar and scale residues.

Clean the separate parts (see chapter ‘Cleaning’).

Note: You can also use an appropriate liquid descaler. In that case, follow the instructions on the package

of the descaler.
