Select 2 bars for a medium cup of coffee (125 

ml) (Fig. 19)

Select 3 bars for a large cup of coffee (145 

ml) (Fig. 20)

 10 

 Press the button indicating the number of cups of 

SENSEO

\

 coffee you want to brew.  (Fig. 21)

Press the 1-cup button 

q

 for one cup. 

Press the 2-cup button 

qq

 for two cups. 

The light rings around the 1-cup button 

q

 and the 2-cup 

button 

qq

 indicate if there is still enough water left for 

brewing one or two cups of coffee. If there is not enough 

water left in the water reservoir for brewing two cups 

of coffee, the light ring around the 2-cup button 

qq

 will 

not go on and this button cannot be operated. 

The SENSEO

\

 coffee machine starts brewing. 

The machine automatically supplies the selected 

amount of water.

You can interrupt the brewing process at any time 

by pressing the on/off button 

3

. If you switch 

the machine back on after having interrupted the 

brewing process, the machine will not complete the 

interrupted brewing cycle. 

Do not remove the water reservoir during a brewing 

cycle, as this will cause 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. 

 11 

 Remove the coffee pod(s) after use by lifting the 

pod holder out of the machine and emptying it.

Be careful when doing this, for there may still be some 

water/coffee on the coffee pod(s).

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. 22).
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. 23).

  4 

 Take the coffee spout out of the machine by sliding 

it upwards (Fig. 24).

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. 25)

  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. 26).

  6 

 Hold the cup tray in your hand while cleaning it 

with hot water, if necessary with some washing-up 

liquid (Fig. 27).

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. 28)

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. 29)

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. 30).

 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. 31).

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 

qq

 in the machine without pod(s) (Fig. 13).

  3 

 Put a bowl (with a capacity of at least 1500 ml) 

under the coffee spout to collect the water (Fig. 8).

  4 

 Press on/off button 

3

 (1) and subsequently press 

the 1-cup button 

q

 and the 2-cup button 

qq

 

briefly at the same time (2) (Fig. 32).

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. 

When you need to descale the machine, the 

descaling indication 

b

 appears on 

the display. This happens after 500 cups have 

been brewed. After another 8 cups, the descaling 

indication 

b

 disappears from the display 

(whether or not you have performed the descaling 

procedure) (Fig. 33).

  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. 9).

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 

qq

 for 2 cups and let 

the machine operate. Repeat this until the water 

reservoir is empty (Fig. 34).

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 ordered 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. 35).
