Tips
By rinsing the pod holders, the coffee collector and
the coffee spout regularly, you will make sure that
the coffee always tastes optimally.
The SENSEO
\
coffee will taste best if you stir it
before drinking it.
If you intend to make another cup of SENSEO
\
coffee later, just leave the coffee machine switched
on. The machine will automatically switch itself off
after 1 hour (Fig. 18).
Cleaning
Never immerse the SENSEO
\
coffee machine in water.
Never clean the machine by flushing it with the lid open.
1
Always unplug the machine before cleaning it.
2
Clean the outside of the machine with a moist
cloth.
3
Remove the coffee collector (Fig. 19).
4
Take the coffee spout out of the machine by sliding
it upwards (Fig. 20).
The coffee spout can only be taken out after the coffee
collector has been removed.
You can disassemble the coffee spout for more
thorough cleaning! (Fig. 21).
5
Clean the coffee spout, the coffee collector and
the drip tray in hot water, if necessary with some
washing-up liquid, or in the dishwasher (Fig. 22).
6
Hold the cup tray in your hand while cleaning it
with hot water, if necessary with some washing-up
liquid (Fig. 23).
The cup tray can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
To clean the cup tray, always remove it from the
machine, as it might prove sharp when handled
incorrectly. Always handle it carefully.
7
Clean the pod holders in hot water, if necessary
with some washing-up liquid, or in the dishwasher
(Fig. 24).
Check if the sieve in the centre of the pod holder is
clogged. If this is the case, unclog the sieve by rinsing the
pod holder under a running tap. Use a washing-up brush
to clean the sieve, if necessary.
8
Clean the water reservoir in hot water, if necessary
with some washing-up liquid (Fig. 25).
Note: If you are using a washing-up brush, be careful not to
damage the valve in the bottom of the water reservoir.
9
Do not use an object with sharp edges to clean the
water inlet on the machine (Fig. 26).
10
Rinse the parts with fresh water after cleaning and
put them back into the machine.
11
Clean the water distribution disc with a moist
cloth (Fig. 27).
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 will
start leaking!
Flushing
If you have not used the coffee machine for three days,
you have to flush it with fresh water before you use it
again.
Flush the machine in the following way:
1
Fill the water reservoir with cold water up to the
MAX
indication and put it back into the machine
(Fig. 3).
2
Put the 1-cup pod holder
q
or the 2-cup pod
holder
in the machine without pod(s) (Fig. 12).
3
Put a bowl (with a capacity of at least 1500 ml)
under the coffee spout to collect the water (Fig. 8).
4
Press the on/off button
3
(1) and subsequently
press buttons the 1-cup button
q
and the 2-cup
button
briefly at the same time (2) (Fig. 28).
The machine fills itself with water from the water
reservoir. While this happens, water comes out of
the spout. When the flushing cycle is finished, the
machine switches itself off. During the flushing cycle,
the machine produces more noise than during a regular
brewing cycle.

Descaling
Regular descaling will prolong the life of the coffee
machine and will guarantee optimal brewing results for a
long time. If the machine is used twice a day on average, it
must be descaled once every 3 months.
1
Fill the water reservoir up to the
MAX
indication
with descaler and water according to the
instructions on the package of the descaler. Then
put the water reservoir back into the coffee
machine (Fig. 3).
Use a liquid descaler based on citric acid.
2
Press the on/off button
3
(Fig. 11).
The machine is ready for use when the indicator light
burns continuously.
3
Place the 1-cup pod holder
q
in the coffee
machine, preferably with a used coffee pod in it.
Close the lid and make sure it is properly locked.
We advise you to put a used coffee pod in the pod
holder when you descale the machine. This pod will serve
as a ‘filter’ to prevent the sieve in the pod holder from
getting clogged with scale residues.
4
Put a bowl with a capacity of at least 1500 ml
under the spout openings to collect the mixture of
descaler and water (Fig. 8).
5
Press the 2-cup button
and let the machine
operate. Repeat this until the water reservoir is
empty. (Fig. 29)
Never descale the SENSEO
\
coffee machine with the
lid open. Make sure the lid is properly locked.
6
Repeat steps 1 to 5 with a new mixture of descaler
and water.
7
Empty the water reservoir to remove the mixture
of descaler and water.
8
Rinse the machine at least 3 times by repeating
steps 1 to 5, now using fresh water.
Do not refill the water reservoir with used hot
water.
9
Clean the pod holder after descaling to prevent the
sieve in the centre from getting clogged.
Frost-free storage
If the coffee machine has already been used and
therefore has been flushed with water, it may only be
used and stored in a frost-free place to prevent it from
becoming damaged.
Replacement
All removable parts can be orderd from your Philips
dealer or a Philips service centre.
Environment
Do not throw the machine away with the normal
household waste at the end of its life, but hand
it in at an official collection point for recycling.
By doing this you will help to preserve the
environment (Fig. 30).

Troubleshooting
If you have a problem, you may find the solution in the
table below. If the table does not provide the solution
to your problem or if you have a question, see chapter
‘Guarantee & service’.
Problem
Solution
The indicator light
continues to blink
slowly.
You have not yet flushed the
coffee machine (see chapter
‘Preparing the machine for use’).
You have used the SENSEO
\
coffee machine at an altitude
higher than 2200 metres above
sea level. This has caused the
water in the machine to start
boiling before it has reached the
required temperature, which
prevents the machine from
functioning properly. Switch the
machine off and no longer use
it at altitudes higher than 2200
metres above sea level.
The SENSEO
\
coffee machine
does not produce
coffee when used
for the first time.
You have not yet flushed the
coffee machine. When you use
the machine for the first time,
you have to flush it before you
start brewing coffee (see chapter
‘Preparing the machine for use’).
The indicator light
continues to blink
rapidly.
Make sure that:
the water reservoir has been
properly placed;
there is enough water in the
water reservoir (i.e. above the
q
MIN level if you want to brew
1 cup);
the ambient temperature is
not lower than 10 °C. If it is,
the machine will not function
properly.
Water leaks from
the coffee machine.
Make sure that:
the lid is properly closed (the
lever must be properly locked);
the water reservoir has not been
filled beyond the MAX level;
the sieve in the centre of the
pod holder is not clogged. If it
is, unclog the sieve by holding
the pod holder under a running
tap. If necessary, you can use a
washing-up brush or a pin to
unclog the sieve;
the coffee pod has been put
properly in the centre of the pod
holder;
the sealing ring has not got stuck
under the edge of the water
distribution disc (see figure
1 at the beginning of these
instructions for use).
the water drops on the worktop
are not the result of placing or
removing the water reservoir or
removing used coffee pods.
you do not remove the water
reservoir when the coffee
machine is heating up. This may
cause water that normally ends
up in the water reservoir to leak
out of the machine.
In all other cases, contact the
Philips Customer Care Centre in
your country.
The coffee spout
cannot be taken
out of the machine.
The coffee spout can only
be taken out after the coffee
collector has been removed.
