The coffee maker does not shut down properly
- Always press the on/off button to properly turn off your coffee maker.
Allowing the valve under the water tank to close before you unplug the appliance or power it off at the wall socket will prevent cold water from running straight into the filter during your next brew.
-
Press the on/off button before filling the tank
- Before you fill the water tank with the required fresh cold water, always press the on/off button first to make sure that the coffee maker is turned off, and therefore the valve under the water tank is closed.
-
Automatic shutdown in 40 minutes
- Allow your Philips Coffee Maker to shut down automatically in 40 minutes. The valve under the water tank will be closed.
