Fully automatic machines are the best because they do not require much attention. The Philips 2200 machine is the same when it comes to cleaning and maintenance. This machine uses an Aqua Clean filter. The filter helps keep the water in the machine clean to make the best-tasting coffee. Additionally, this filter also descales the machine.Remove the old filter and place the new one carefully, ensuring it sits properly. Fill the water up with fresh water and put it back in. Keep the Aqua/Clean icon pressed for about 3-4 seconds. Keep the Start/Stop button. You’ll see the AquaClean light turns blue indicating that you’re good to go.
