Solution
You have not yet flushed the coffee machine.See 'Preparing the
machine for use'.
You have used the SENSEO\ coffee machine at an altitude higher than
1500 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 1500 metres above sea
level.
You have not flushed the coffee machine before using it for the first
time.As a result,the boiler is not filled completely.Flush the coffee
machine (see 'Preparing the machine for use') before you start brewing
coffee.
Make sure that:
the water reservoir has been properly placed;
there is enough water in the water reservoir (i.e.above the ° MIN
level if you want to brew 1 cup);
the ambient temperature is not lower than 10cC.If it is,the appliance
will not function properly.
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 pad holder is not clogged.If it is,unclog
the sieve by holding the pad holder under a running tap.If necessary,
you can use a washing-up brush or a pin to unclog the sieve;
the coffee pad has been put properly in the centre of the pad holder;
the sealing ring has not got stuck under the edge of the water
distribution plate (see drawing at the beginning of these instructions for
use).
NB:It is perfectly normal for some drops of water to spill onto the
worktop.This may happen, for instance,when you place or remove the
water reservoir.Be careful when removing used coffee pads,for there
may still be some water on the pads.
Do not remove the water reservoir when the coffee machine is
heating up,as this may cause some water to leak out of the machine
(this water would normally end up in the water reservoir).
In all other cases,contact the Philips Customer Care Centre in your
country.
A vacuum may have temporarily formed under the lid.
Switch the machine off.Pull the lever up as far as it will go and wait 24
hours before opening the lid.You may need to use quite some force.
