The light rings around the 1-cup button q and the 2-cup
button qq indicate if there is still enough water left for
brewing one or two cups of coffee. If there is not enough
water left in the water reservoir for brewing two cups
of coffee, the light ring around the 2-cup button qq will
not go on and this button cannot be operated.
The SENSE
\
coffee machine starts brewing.
The machine automatically supplies the selected
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 lled.
Note: If you only get a small quantity of coffee or no coffee
at all out of the machine, you have not ushed the machine
properly before rst use. As a result, the boiler is not or not
completely lled. Flush the machine properly (see chapter
‘Preparing the machine for use’) before you brew another
cup of coffee.
11 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).
Tips
By rinsing the pod holders, the coffee collector and
the coffee spout regularly, you will make sure that
the coffee always tastes optimally.
The SENSEO
\
coffee will taste best if you stir it
before drinking it.
If you intend to make another cup of SENSEO
\
coffee later, just leave the coffee machine switched
on. The machine will automatically switch itself off
after 1 hour. (Fig. 22)
Cleaning
Never immerse the SENSEO
\
coffee machine in water.
Never clean the machine by ushing it with the lid open.
1 Always unplug the machine before cleaning it.
2 Clean the outside of the machine with a moist
cloth.
3 Remove the coffee collector (Fig. 23).
4 Take the coffee spout out of the machine by sliding
it upwards (Fig. 24).
The coffee spout can only be taken out after the coffee
collector has been removed.
You can disassemble the coffee spout for more
thorough cleaning! (Fig. 25)
5 Clean the coffee spout, the coffee collector and
the drip tray in hot water, if necessary with some
washing-up liquid, or in the dishwasher (Fig. 26).
6 Hold the cup tray in your hand while cleaning it
with hot water, if necessary with some washing-up
liquid (Fig. 27).
The cup tray can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
To clean the cup tray, always remove it from the
machine, as it might prove sharp when handled
incorrectly. Always handle it carefully.
7 Clean the pod holders in hot water, if necessary
with some washing-up liquid, or in the
dishwasher. (Fig. 28)
Check if the sieve in the centre of the pod holder is
clogged. If this is the case, unclog the sieve by rinsing the
pod holder under a running tap. Use a washing-up brush
to clean the sieve, if necessary.
8 Clean the water reservoir in hot water, if necessary
with some washing-up liquid. (Fig. 29)
Note: If you are using a washing-up brush, be careful not to
damage the valve in the bottom of the water reservoir.
9 Do not use an object with sharp edges to clean the
water inlet on the machine (Fig. 30).
10 Rinse the parts with fresh water after cleaning and
put them back into the machine.
11 Clean the water distribution disc with a moist
cloth (Fig. 31).

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 will
start leaking!
Flushing
If you have not used the coffee machine for three days,
you have to 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 into the
machine. (Fig. 3)
2 Put the 1-cup pod holder q or the 2-cup pod
holder qq in the machine without pod(s). (Fig. 13)
3 Put a bowl (with a capacity of at least 1500 ml)
under the coffee spout to collect the water (Fig. 8).
4 Press on/off button 3 (1) and subsequently press
the 1-cup button q and the 2-cup button qq
briey at the same time (2). (Fig. 32)
The machine lls itself with water from the water
reservoir. While this happens, water comes out of
the spout. When the ushing cycle is nished, the
machine switches itself off. During the ushing cycle,
the machine produces more noise than during a regular
brewing cycle.
Descaling
Regular descaling will prolong the life of the coffee
machine and will guarantee optimal brewing results for a
long time.
When you need to descale the machine, the
descaling indication b appears on
the display. This happens after 500 cups have
been brewed. After another 8 cups, the descaling
indication b disappears from the display
(whether or not you have performed the descaling
procedure). (Fig. 33)
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 into the coffee
machine. (Fig. 3)
Use a liquid descaler based on citric acid.
2 Press the on/off button 3. (Fig. 9)
The machine is ready for use when the indicator light
burns continuously.
3 Place the 1-cup pod holder q 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 will serve
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 1500 ml
under the spout openings to collect the mixture of
descaler and water. (Fig. 8)
5 Press the 2-cup button qq for 2 cups and let
the machine operate. Repeat this until the water
reservoir is empty. (Fig. 34)
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 Empty the water reservoir to remove the mixture
of descaler and water.
8 Rinse the machine at least 3 times by repeating
steps 1 to 5, now using fresh water.
Do not rell the water reservoir with used hot
water.
9 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
All removable parts can be ordered from your Philips
dealer or a Philips service centre.
Environment
Do not throw the machine away 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 will help to preserve the
environment (Fig. 35).
