SENSEO® coffee system
Make your coffee moments truly special with SENSEO®. This unique
system combines the easy-to-use Philips SENSEO® coffee machine
with the specially developed Douwe Egberts SENSEO® coffee pods,
giving you a full, smooth coffee with a delicious foam layer.
To ensure a smooth and full coffee taste, you should keep
the following things in mind:
Clean cold water
Use clean cold water every day. If you have not used the coffee machine
for one day, you have to flush it with clean cold water before you use it
again. To flush the machine, fill the water reservoir with clean cold water,
place a bowl or 2 cups under the coffee spout and press the 2-cup
button a few times to brew hot water until the water reservoir is empty.
Fresh coffee pods
Use the SENSEO® coffee pods that have been specially developed by
Douwe Egberts for your SENSEO® coffee machine for a full, round taste.
Clean machine
Clean and descale the Philips SENSEO® coffee machine regularly.
For more information on why it is important to descale, when to
descale and how to descale or which descaler to use, visit our website
at www.philips.com/descale-senseo.
Important
Read this user manual carefully before you use
the machine and save it for future reference.
Danger
-
Never immerse the machine in water or any
other liquid.
Warning
-
Connect the machine to an earthed wall
socket.
-
Check if the voltage indicated on the bottom
of the machine corresponds to the local mains
voltage before you connect the machine.
-
This machine can be used by children
aged from 8 years and above and persons
with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of
the machine in a safe way and understand the
hazards involved. Children shall not play with
the machine. Cleaning and user maintenance
shall not be made by children unless they are
8 years and above and supervised.
-
Keep the machine and its cord out of the
reach of children aged less than 8 years.
-
Do not use the machine if the plug, the
mains cord or the machine itself is damaged.
-
If the mains cord is damaged, you must
have it replaced by Philips, a service centre
authorised by Philips or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Caution
-
Always return the machine to a service
centre authorised by Philips for
examination or repair. Do not attempt to
repair the machine yourself, otherwise your
guarantee becomes invalid.
-
After unpacking the machine, never put
your SENSEO® machine on its side. Always
keep it in upright position, also during
transport.
-
Never put normal ground coffee or use torn
pods in the SENSEO® machine,
as this causes it to become blocked.
-
Do not use the machine in combination
with a transformer, as this could cause
hazardous situations.
-
Always put the machine on a flat and
stable surface.
-
Do not place the appliance on a hotplate,
directly next to a hot oven, heater or similar
source of heat.
-
Descale the machine at least every 3 months.
Not doing so may cause the machine to stop
working properly. In this case, repair is not
covered under your warranty.
-
Never let the machine operate unattended.
-
Do not use the machine at altitudes higher
than 2200 metres above sea level.
-
Do not use the machine at a temperature
below 0°C. Water left in the machine may
freeze and cause damage.
-
Never pour any other liquid than clean cold
water into the water reservoir.
-
Never flush the machine or let it brew
coffee when the spout is not in place.
-
Flush the coffee machine with fresh water
before you use it for the first time (see
chapter ‘First use’). This causes the system
to fill with water, which is essential for the
machine to work properly.
-
Do not use the SENSEO® machine in
combination with water softeners based on
sodium exchange.
-
Philips strongly advises you to descale
this SENSEO® regularly. If the machine is
not descaled in time and according to the
procedure described in chapter ‘Descaling’,
this may lead to technical failures.
-
Never interrupt the descaling process.
-
Never use a descaling agent based on
mineral acids such as sulphuric acid,
hydrochloric acid, sulphamic acid and acetic
acid (e.g. vinegar). These descaling agents
may damage your SENSEO® coffee machine.
-
After unpacking the machine, never put your
SENSEO® machine on its side. Always keep
it in upright position, also during transport.
