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.
The Douwe Egberts coffee in convenient SENSEO
®
coffee pods and Philips’ unique
new SENSEO
®
brewing system are perfectly matched to ensure that the best taste
and aroma are extracted from the coffee.
To ensure a smooth and full coffee taste, you should keep the following things in
mind:
Fresh water
Use fresh water every day.
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. The Douwe
Egberts SENSEO
®
coffee pods stay fresh longer if you store them in an airtight
storage container.
A clean machine
Clean and descale your coffee machine regularly as described in the chapters
‘Cleaning’ and ‘Descaling’. Remove used coffee pods after brewing. If you have not
used the machine for some time, flush the machine before you use it again (see
section ‘Flushing the machine’ in chapter ‘Cleaning’).
This machine is intended for household use only and not for professional use.

Important

reference.
Danger
- Never immerse the machine in water or any other liquid.
Warning
- Check if the voltage indicated on the bottom of the machine corresponds to the
local mains voltage before you connect the machine.
-
This machine is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the machine by a person responsible for their safety.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the machine.
- 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.
- 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.
- Never let the machine operate unattended.
- Do not use the machine at altitudes higher than 2200 metres above sea level.
- The machine does not work at temperatures below 10°C.
-
Flush the coffee machine with fresh water before you use it for the first time
(see chapter ‘Preparing the machine for use’). This causes the boiler 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
®
machine every 3 months. 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.
Never turn your SENSEO
®
machine on its side. Always keep it in upright position,
also during transport.
Electromagnetic fields (EMF)
This machine complies with all standards regarding electromagnetic fields (EMF). If
handled properly and according to the instructions in this user manual, the machine is
safe to use based on scientific evidence available today.
Preparing the machine for use
You cannot brew coffee if you have not flushed the SENSEO® coffee machine first!
The flushing cycle causes the boiler to fill with water. After this, the coffee machine is
ready for use.
Flush the machine in the following way:
1
Tilt the water reservoir outwards and lift it out of the machine (Fig. 2).
2
Fill the water reservoir with cold water up to the MAX indication. (Fig. 3)
3
To put the water reservoir back into the machine, tilt it slightly and insert the
bottom of the water reservoir first (1). Then press home the top part of the
water reservoir (2).
4
Move the lid release lever upwards and open the lid (Fig. 4).
5
Put the 1-cup pod holder
q
or the 2-cup pod holder
in the machine
without pod or pods. (Fig. 5)
6
Close the lid and lock the lever (Fig. 6).
Note: To make sure the lever is locked properly, push it down until it snaps home with a
click. It is not possible to flush the machine when the lid is not properly closed.
7
Put the plug in an earthed wall socket.
8
Put a bowl (with a capacity of at least 1500ml) under the coffee spout to
collect the water. (Fig. 7)
Note: Make sure the bowl is placed stably on the drip tray or the foot of the machine to
prevent it from wobbling or toppling over during the flushing cycle. You can also use a
square or rectangular container.
9
Press the on/off button
3
(1) and then press the 1-cup button
q
and the
2-cup button
briefly at the same time (2). (Fig. 8)
,
The boiler fills itself with water from the water reservoir. This takes some time
(approx. 90 to 150 seconds). During the flushing cycle, the machine produces
more noise than during a regular brewing cycle.
Note: Before you use the machine for the first time, clean the coffee spout, the cover
of the coffee spout, the coffee collector, the pod holders and the water reservoir in the
dishwasher or with hot water and some washing-up liquid.
Now your Philips SENSEO
®
coffee machine is ready for use.
Using the machine
If you only get a small quantity of coffee or no coffee at all out of the machine,
you have not flushed the machine properly before first use. As a result, the boiler
is not or only partly filled. Flush the machine properly (see chapter ‘Preparing the
machine for use’) before you brew another cup of coffee.
1
Fill the water reservoir with cold water up to the MAX indication and put it
back into the machine. (Fig. 9)
Never pour milk, coffee, hot water or carbonated water into the water reservoir.
-
q
MIN: minimum amount of water required to brew 1 cup of SENSEO
®
coffee.
-
MIN: minimum amount of water required to brew 2 cups of SENSEO
®
coffee.
- A full reservoir allows you to make SENSEO
®
coffee a number of times (up to 8
cups). This makes it unnecessary to fill the water reservoir each time you want to
make a cup of coffee.
