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 (see 'Removing and inserting the brew group').
2 Rinse the brew group thoroughly with water. Carefully clean the upper filter (Fig. 37) 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 Philips coffee oil remover tablets.
1 Tap the Clean icon and use the up and down arrows to select 'Brew group clean'.
2 Tap the OK icon to confirm and then follow the instructions on the screen.
Lubricating the brew group
To improve your machine's performance, we suggest that you lubricate the brew group every 2 months, to
ensure that the moving parts continue to move smoothly.
1 Apply a thin layer of grease on the piston (grey part) of the brew group (Fig. 38).
2 Apply a thin layer of grease around the shaft (grey part) in the bottom of the brew group (Fig. 39).
3 Apply a thin layer of grease to the guiding rails on both sides (Fig. 40).

How to clean
Remove the drip tray (Fig. 36) and rinse it
under the tap with some washing-up liquid.
You can also clean the drip tray in the
dishwasher. The front panel of the coffee
grounds container (Fig. A15) is not
dishwasher-safe.
First clean LatteGo while it is attached to the
machine by using the 'Quick milk clean'
program (see 'Quick cleaning LatteGo'). Or
remove it from the machine and rinse it under
the tap or clean it in the dishwasher.
Consult the lubrication table and lubricate the
brew group with the Philips grease (see
'Lubricating the brew group').
