Introduction
With SENSEO
®
, you can enjoy a perfect cup of coffee
with a delicious crema layer whenever you feel like it.
Each cup is freshly brewed, so you’re always sure of a
pure and round taste. SENSEO
®
combines a unique
brewing method from Philips with convenient coffee
pods from Douwe Egberts, available in different blends
of fine roast and ground coffee. Together they make sure
you only get the very best in flavour and aroma from the
coffee.
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 optimise the taste of the coffee, keep the following
aspects in mind:
Fresh water
Use fresh water every day. If you have not used the coffee
machine for three days, you have to flush it with fresh
water before you use it again (see section ‘Flushing’ in
chapter ‘Cleaning’).
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. Douwe Egberts SENSEO
®
coffee pods stay fresh longer if you close the package
with the keep-fresh seal after use or if you store them in
a storage container.
A clean machine
Clean and descale the Philips SENSEO
®
coffee machine
regularly (see chapters ‘Cleaning’ and ‘Descaling’). Remove
used coffee pods after brewing. If a used pod has been
left in the coffee machine and you have not used the
machine for some time, flush the machine before you use
it again (see section ‘Flushing’ in chapter ‘Cleaning’).

Important
Read these instructions for use carefully before you use
the machine and save them for future reference.
Check if the voltage indicated on the bottom of
the machine corresponds to the local mains voltage
before you connect the machine.
If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by Philips, a service centre authorised by Philips
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a
hazard.
To prevent unexpected contact with hot water,
always make sure the lid of the SENSEO
®
machine
is properly locked before you start using the
machine.
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.
Put the machine on a flat, 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.

This appliance 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 appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
It is very important that you descale your
SENSEO
®
machine every 3 months to prevent
malfunctioning. For the correct procedure, see
chapter ‘Descaling’.
Never interrupt the descaling process!
Always use the correct descaling mixture, i.e. 50
grams citric acid to 1 litre tap water.
Never turn your SENSEO
®
machine on its
side. Always keep it in upright position, also
during transport.
Electromagnetic fields (EMF)
This Philips appliance complies with all standards
regarding electromagnetic fields (EMF). If handled
properly and in accordance with the instructions in this
instruction manual, the appliance is safe to use according
to 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
Remove the water reservoir (Fig. 2).
2
Fill the water reservoir with cold water up to
the
MAX
indication and put it back onto the
machine. (Fig. 3)
3
Move the lever upwards to release the lid (Fig. 4).
4
Open the lid (Fig. 5).
5
Put the 1-cup pod holder
q
or the 2-cup/1-
mug pod holder
/
w
in the machine without
pod(s). (Fig. 6)
6
Close the lid and lock the lever (Fig. 7).
Note: Make sure you lock the lever properly. Push it down
until it snaps home with a click.
Note: Never flush the machine with the lid open. The lid
must be properly locked.
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. 8)
9
Press the on/off button
I
and subsequently press
the 1-cup button
q
and the 2-cup/1-mug button
/
w
briefly at the same time. (Fig. 9)
The boiler 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 coffee
1
Fill the water reservoir with cold water up to
the
MAX
indication and put it back onto the
machine. (Fig. 3)
Never pour milk, coffee, hot water or carbonated water
into the water reservoir.

unnecessary to fill the water reservoir each time you
want to make a cup of coffee.
2
Press the on/off button
I
. (Fig. 10)
The indicator light blinks while the water is heating up.

Move the lever upwards to release the lid (Fig. 4).
4
Open the lid.
5
Place the appropriate pod holder in the machine.
Note: Make sure the pod holder is clean and the sieve in the
centre is not clogged, e.g. with loose coffee grounds.
If you want to make one cup of SENSEO
®
coffee,
use 1 coffee pod in combination with the 1-cup pod
holder
q
and the 1-cup button
q
. (Fig. 11)
If you want to make two cups or one mug of
SENSEO
®
coffee, use 2 coffee pods in combination
with the deeper 2-cup/1-mug pod holder
/
w
and the 2-cup/1-mug button
/
w
. (Fig. 12)
6
Place the SENSEO
®
coffee pod(s) properly in the
centre of the pod holder, with the convex side
pointing downwards.
Note: Use SENSEO
®
coffee pods from Douwe Egberts
specially designed for your SENSEO
®
coffee machine for a
full and round taste.
Place 1 SENSEO
®
coffee pod in the 1-cup pod
holder
q
. (Fig. 13)
Place 2 SENSEO
®
coffee pods in the 2-cup/1-mug
pod holder
/
w
. (Fig. 14)
Note: Make sure the coffee in the pod(s) is evenly distributed
and press the pod(s) lightly into the pod holder.
Note: Never put normal ground coffee or use torn pods in
the SENSEO
®
machine, as this causes it to become blocked.
7
Close the lid and lock the lever (Fig. 7).
Always make sure the lid is properly locked. Push the
lever down until it snaps home with a click.
Never start brewing with the lid open. The lid must be
properly closed.
8
Place one cup, two cups or one mug under the
spout openings (Fig. 15).
If you are using cups, make sure they have a capacity of
approximately 150 ml. If you are using a mug, make sure
the mug has a capacity of approximately 280ml. Do not
use cups or mugs that are too large, as they will cause the
coffee to get cold more quickly.
Do not use cups or mugs that are too large, as they will
cause the coffee to get cold more quickly. If using one
cup or one mug, be sure to position the cup or mug
right under the coffee spout with its two openings.
9
Press the button that indicates the number of cups
of SENSEO
®
coffee you want to brew. (Fig. 16)
q
for one cup
/
w
for two cups or one mug
The SENSEO
®
coffee machine starts brewing.
The machine automatically supplies the optimal
amount of water.
You can interrupt the brewing process at any time
by pressing the on/off button
I
. If you switch the
machine back on after you have interrupted the
brewing process, the machine does not complete the
interrupted brewing cycle.
Do not remove the water reservoir during a brewing
cycle, as this causes the machine to draw in air. When
this happens, the next cup will only be partly filled.
Note: 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 not
completely filled. Flush the machine properly (see chapter
‘Preparing the machine for use’) before you brew another
cup of coffee.
10
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).
