Do not remove the water reservoir during a brewing cycle,
as this will cause the machine to draw in air.
Tip: You can interrupt the brewing cycle at any time. To do this, press the same
cup button (1-cup button
q
or 2-cup button
) that you pressed to start
brewing coffee. However, if you do this, the machine does not complete the
interrupted brewing cycle if you switch it on again or press the same cup
button again.
6
After use, lift the pod holder out of the machine and remove the
coffee pod(s).
Be careful when you do this, for there may still be some water/coffee on
the coffee pod(s).
7
After use, press the on/off button
3
to switch off the machine.
Note: If you do not use the machine, it switches off automatically after
30 minutes to save energy.
Note: Never put normal ground coffee or use torn pods in the
SENSEO
®
machine, as this causes it to become blocked.
Cleaning the machine
Never immerse the SENSEO
®
coffee machine in water or any other liquid.
Never clean the machine by flushing it with the lid open.
Cleaning the coffee machine
1
Always unplug the machine before you clean it.
2
Clean the outside of the machine with a moist cloth.
3
Remove the coffee spout (Fig. 15).
,
You can disassemble the coffee spout for more thorough
cleaning (Fig. 16).
4
Clean the coffee spout, the pod holders, the drip tray, the cup tray
and the water reservoir in hot water, if necessary with some
washing-up liquid, or in the dishwasher (Fig. 17).
5
To prevent clogging, clean the pod holders regularly with hot water,
some washing-up liquid and a washing-up brush. If you have used
the 2-cup pod holder to brew cappuccino or hot chocolate, make
sure to clean it thoroughly immediately after use to remove any milk
residues (Fig. 18).
Note: Use the clogged pod holder in the machine during descaling to clean it
even more effectively.
6
Clean the water distribution disc with a moist cloth (Fig. 19).
Be careful when you do this. Make sure that the rubber sealing ring does
not get stuck under the edge of the water distribution disc. If it does,
the coffee machine starts to leak.
Flushing the coffee machine
If you have not used the coffee machine for three days, flush it with clean
cold water before you use it again.
Flush the machine in the following way:
1
Fill the water reservoir with clean cold water up to the MAX
indication and put it back onto the machine. (Fig. 3)
2
Put the 1-cup pod holder
°
or the 2-cup pod holder
°°
in the
machine without pod(s). (Fig. 20)
3
Put a bowl (with a capacity of at least 1500ml) under the coffee spout
to collect the water (Fig. 8).
4
Press the on/off button
I
. Wait until the machine has heated up.
Then press the 2-cup button
several times until the water
reservoir is empty. (Fig. 21)
9
Press the on/off button
I
and subsequently press the 1-cup button
q
and the 2-cup button
briefly at the same time. (Fig. 9)
,
The system fills itself with water from the water reservoir. This takes
some time (approx. 90 to 150 seconds). The machine switches off
automatically when the flushing cycle ends. 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
and the pod holders with hot water and some washing-up liquid or in the
dishwasher. Clean the water reservoir thoroughly in hot water, if necessary with
some washing-up liquid.
Now your Philips SENSEO
®
coffee machine is ready for use.
Brewing SENSEO
®
coffee
Tips for the best SENSEO
®
quality
- Use clean cold water every time.
- Use the SENSEO

®
coffee machine for a full, round
taste.
Filling the water reservoir
1
Fill the water reservoir with clean cold water up to the MAX
indication and put it back onto the machine. (Fig. 3)
Never pour any other liquid than clean cold water into the water
reservoir.
- MIN: minimum amount of water required to brew 1 cup of SENSEO
®

- A full reservoir allows you to make SENSEO
®
coffee a number of times.
This makes it unnecessary to fill the water reservoir each time you want
to make a cup of coffee.
Switching on the machine
1
Press the on/off button
I
. (Fig. 10)
The indicator light flashes while the water heats up. Heating up takes
