4 Clean the coffee spout, the pod holders and the
drip tray in hot water, if necessary with some
washing-up liquid, or in the dishwasher (Fig. 21).
5 Hold the cup tray in your hand while you clean it
with hot water, if necessary with some washing-up
liquid (Fig. 22).
You can also clean the cup tray in the dishwasher.
To clean the cup tray, always remove it from the
machine, as it might prove sharp when it is handled
incorrectly. Always handle it carefully.
6 Clean the pod holders in hot water, if necessary
with some washing-up liquid, or in the
dishwasher. (Fig. 23)
Make sure the sieve in the centre of the pod holder is not
clogged. If the sieve is clogged, unclog it by rinsing the pod
holder under a running tap. If necessary, use a washing-up
brush or a pin to unclog the sieve.
7 Clean the water reservoir in hot water, if necessary
with some washing-up liquid. (Fig. 24)
Note: You can remove the cover of the water reservoir
to clean the inside thoroughly.
Note: If you use a washing-up brush, be careful not to
damage the valve in the bottom of the water reservoir.
8 Rinse the parts with fresh water after cleaning and
put them back into the machine.
9 Clean the water distribution disc with a moist
cloth (Fig. 25).
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 starts
to leak!
Flushing
If you have not used the coffee machine for three days,
ush 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 onto the
machine. (Fig. 3)
2 Put the 1-cup pod holder ° or the 2-cup pod
holder °° in the machine without pod(s). (Fig. 6)
3 Put a bowl (with a capacity of at least 1500ml)
under the coffee spout to collect the water. (Fig. 8)
4 Press the on/off button I and subsequently press
the 1-cup button ° and the 2-cup button °°
briey at the same time. (Fig. 9)
The machine lls itself with water from the water
reservoir. This takes some time and you will probably not
notice that this happens. After a while, the machine starts
to ush and switches itself off after the ushing cycle.
Descaling
Regular descaling prolongs the life of the coffee machine
and guarantees optimal brewing results for a long time.
If you use the machine twice a day on average, you must
descale it once every 3 months.
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 onto the coffee
machine. (Fig. 3)
Use a descaler based on citric acid.
2 Press on/off button I. (Fig. 10)
The machine is ready for use when the indicator light
burns continuously.
3 Place the 1-cup pod holder ° 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 serves
as a ‘lter’ to prevent the sieve in the pod holder from
getting clogged with scale residues.
4 Put a bowl with a capacity of at least 1500ml under
the coffee spout to collect the mixture of descaler
and water. (Fig. 8)
5 Press the 2-cup button °° and let the machine
operate. Repeat this until the water reservoir is
empty. (Fig. 26)
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 Rinse the water reservoir with fresh water to
remove descaler residues.
Flush the machine with fresh water at least 3 times
by repeating steps 1 to 5.
Do not rell the water reservoir with used hot
water.
8 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 ushed with water, it may only be
used and stored in a frost-free place to prevent it from
becoming damaged.
Replacement
You can order all removable parts from your Philips
dealer or a Philips service centre.
Environment
Do not throw away the machine with the normal
household waste at the end of its life, but hand it in
at an ofcial collection point for recycling. By doing
this, you help to preserve the environment (Fig. 27).

The purchase of the Philips SENSEO
\
coffee machine
does not exhaust any of the rights of Sara Lee/Douwe
Egberts or Philips under any of their patents nor does it
confer upon the purchaser a licence under these patents.
Troubleshooting
If you have a problem, you may nd the solution in the
table below. If the table does not provide the solution to
your problem or if you have a question, see the chapter
‘Guarantee & service’.
Problem Solution
The indicator
light continues
to blink slowly.
You have not yet ushed the coffee
machine (see chapter ‘Preparing the
machine for use’.
You have used the SENSEO\ coffee
machine at an altitude higher than
2200 metres above sea level. This
has caused the water in the machine
to start boiling before it has
reached the required temperature.
This prevents the machine from
functioning properly. Switch off the
machine and no longer use it at
altitudes higher than 2200 metres
above sea level.
The SENSEO
\
coffee machine
does not
produce coffee
when it is
switched on for
the rst time.
You have not yet ushed the coffee
machine. When you use the machine
for the rst time, you have to ush it
before you can start brewing coffee
(see chapter ‘Preparing the machine
for use’).
The indicator
light continues
to blink rapidly.
Make sure that:
,
,
Problem Solution
you have placed the water
reservoir properly;
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 10°C. If it is, the machine
does not function properly.
Water leaks
from the coffee
machine.
Make sure that:
you have closed the lid properly
(the lever must be properly locked);
you have not lled the water
reservoir beyond the
MAX level;
the sieve in the centre of the pod
holder is not clogged. If the sieve
is clogged, unclog it by rinsing the
pod holder under a running tap. If
necessary, use a washing-up brush
or a pin to unclog the sieve;
you have put the coffee
pod properly in the centre of the
pod holder;
the sealing ring is not stuck under
the edge of the water distribution
disc;
the water drops on the worktop are
not the result of placing or removing
the water reservoir or removing used
coffee pods;
you do not remove the water
reservoir when the coffee machine
is heating up. This may cause water
that normally ends up in the water
reservoir to leak out of the machine.
In all other cases, contact the Philips
Customer Care Centre in your
country.
The lid cannot
be opened.
A vacuum may have temporarily
formed under the lid.
Switch off the machine. Pull the
lever up as far as it goes and wait 24
hours before you open the lid. You
may need to use quite some force.
Make sure that the sieve in
the centre of the pod holder
is not clogged. If the sieve is
clogged, unclog it by rinsing the
pod holder under a running tap. If
necessary, use a washing-up brush
or a pin to unclog the sieve.
If problems continue to occur,
contact the Philips Customer Care
Centre in your country.
The coffee
machine
produces less
coffee than
before.
Perhaps the sieve in the centre of
the pod holder is clogged. If the
sieve is clogged, unclog it by rinsing
the pod holder under a running tap.
If necessary, use a washing-up brush
or a pin to unclog the sieve.
Descale the machine (see chapter
‘Descaling’).
