Solution If this takes longer than two minutes, contact the Philips Consumer Care Centre in your country. It is essential to descale the Senseo coffee machine when the CALC light goes on. The descaling procedure consists of a descaling cycle and two flushing cycles. Do not interrupt the descaling cycle and do not switch off the machine before you have performed the two flushing cycles. Push and hold the button for the recipe of your choice and until the light starts to flash rapidly and release the button. The machine starts to heat up for approximately 90 seconds during which the light flashes slowly. [. . . ] The machine has been used for a longer period of time without descaling. Thin-walled cups absorb less heat from the coffee than thick-walled cups. You can preheat the coffee machine and cup by brewing a cup of hot water first without placing a coffee pod in the pod holder. [. . . ]
