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’).
This machine is intended for household use only and not
for professional use.

Danger
Never immerse the machine in water or any other
liquid.
Warning
Check if the voltage indicated on the bottom of
the machine corresponds to the local mains voltage
before you connect the machine.
This machine 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 machine by a
person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the machine.
Do not use the machine if the plug, the mains cord
or the machine itself is damaged.
If the mains cord is damaged, you must have it
replaced by Philips, a service centre authorised by
Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid
a hazard.
Caution
Always return the machine to a service centre
authorised by Philips for examination or repair.

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.
Always put the machine on a flat and 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.
Do not use the SENSEO
®
machine in combination
with water softeners based on sodium exchange.
Philips strongly advises you to descale this SENSEO
®
machine every 3 months. If the machine is not
descaled in time and according to the procedure
described in chapter ‘Descaling’, this may lead to
technical failures.
Never interrupt the descaling process.
Never use a descaling agent based on mineral acids
such as sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulphamic
acid and acetic acid (e.g. vinegar). These descaling
agents may damage your SENSEO
®
coffee machine.
Never turn your SENSEO
®
machine on its side.
Always keep it in upright position, also during
transport.
Electromagnetic fields (EMF)
This machine complies with all standards regarding
electromagnetic fields (EMF). If handled properly
and according to the instructions in this user manual,
the machine is safe to use based on 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
°
or the 2-cup pod
holder
°°
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
°
and the 2-cup button
°°
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.
°
MIN: minimum amount of water required to
brew 1 cup of SENSEO
®
coffee.
°°
MIN: minimum amount of water required to
brew 2 cups of SENSEO
®
coffee.
A full reservoir allows you to make SENSEO
®
coffee
a number of times (up to 5 cups). This makes it
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 flashes while the water heats up.
Heating up takes approx. 90 seconds.
The coffee machine is ready for use when the
indicator light lights up continuously.
3
Move the lever upwards to release the lid (Fig. 11).
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
°
and the 1-cup button
°
. (Fig. 12)
If you want to make two cups of SENSEO
®
coffee,
use 2 coffee pods in combination with the deeper
2-cup pod holder
°°
and the 2-cup button
°°
. (Fig. 13)
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
°
. (Fig. 14)
Place 2 SENSEO
®
coffee pods in the 2-cup pod
holder
°°
. (Fig. 15)
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 or two cups under the spout
openings (Fig. 16).
The cups you use should have a capacity of at least
150ml. Do not use cups that are too large, as they cause
the coffee to get cold more quickly.
9
Press the button that indicates the number of cups
of SENSEO
®
coffee you want to brew. (Fig. 17)
°
for one cup
°°
for two cups
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.
