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 when you close the package with the keep-
fresh seal after use or when 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’).

Caution
- Always return the machine to a service centre authorised by Philips for

First use
Unpacking
1
Remove the machine from the box
Note: Make sure you store the 2-cup pod holder
hh
in a safe place. it is an
essential part of the machine.
Flushing the machine to fill the boiler
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
h
or the 2-cup pod holder (Fig. 6)
hh
in the machine without pod(s).
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
h
and
the 2-cup button
hh
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
