With Douwe Egberts SENSEO
\
coffee pods, you can
enjoy a perfect cup of coffee at any time of the day. Every
cup is freshly brewed to give you that smooth and full
taste.
Using more than 250 years of coffee expertise Douwe
Egberts has roasted and ground specially selected coffee
beans that, when prepared using a special brewing
method co-developed with Philips, ensure a full, smooth
taste and delicious foam layer. This joint creation, known
as the SENSEO
\
coffee pod system, consists of the
Philips SENSEO
\
coffee machine and specially developed
Douwe Egberts SENSEO
\
coffee pods. Only when used
together will you be rewarded with a sensational cup of
SENSEO
\
coffee with the delicious SENSEO
\
foam layer.
To ensure a smooth and full coffee taste, you should keep
the following things 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. The Douwe Egberts
SENSEO
\
coffee pods will stay fresh longer if you store
them in an airtight storage container.
A clean machine
Clean and descale your 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’).

Read these instructions for use carefully before using 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 will cause 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
using it for the first time (see chapter ‘Preparing
the machine for use’). This will cause 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

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 be filled 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
Release the lid by moving the lever upwards (Fig. 4).
4
Open the lid (Fig. 5).
5
Put the 1-cup pod holder
q
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 the lever is properly locked by pushing 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 1500 ml)
under the spout openings to collect the water
(Fig. 8).
9
Press the on/off button
3
(Fig. 9).
10
Press the 1-cup button
q
and the 2-cup button
briefly at the same time (Fig. 10).
The boiler fills itself with water from the water reservoir.
This may take 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.
Never interrupt the flushing cycle halfway. If you do, the
boiler will not fill itself properly.
Note: Before you use the machine for the first time, clean
the coffee spout, the coffee collector 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.
q
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 up to 8 cups of
SENSEO
\
coffee. 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
3
(Fig. 11).
The indicator light blinks slowly while the water is heating
up. Heating up takes approx. 75 seconds.
The coffee machine is ready for use when the
indicator light burns continuously. If the indicator
light blinks rapidly, the water reservoir does not
contain enough water for brewing one cup of
coffee.
3
Release the lid by moving the lever upwards (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. 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.
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 will cause it to become
blocked.
Place 1 SENSEO
\
coffee pod in the 1-cup pod
holder
q
(Fig. 14).
Place 2 SENSEO
\
coffee pods in the 2-cup pod
holder
(Fig. 15).
7
Close the lid and lock the lever (Fig. 7).
Always check if the lid is properly locked. The lever must
be pushed 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. You can adjust the height of the coffee
spout by sliding it upwards or downwards (Fig. 16).
The cups you use should have a capacity of at least 150
ml. Do not use cups that are too large, as they will cause
the coffee to get cold more quickly.
9
Press the button indicating the number of cups of
SENSEO
\
coffee you want to brew. (Fig. 17)
Press the 1-cup button
q
for one cup.
Press the 2-cup button
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
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.
If the cups are only half full when the machine stops
brewing, there was not enough water left in the water
reservoir to brew two cups. To obtain two full cups, fill
the water reservoir and press the 1-cup button
q
. The
two cups will then be filled completely.
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
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).
