Introduction
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 ush 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, ush 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.

future reference.
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 qualied persons in
order to avoid a hazard.
Caution
- Always return the machine to a service centre authorised by Philips for
examination or repair. Do not attempt to repair the machine yourself,
otherwise your guarantee becomes invalid.
- 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 at 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
rst time (see chapter ‘Preparing the machine for use’). This causes
the boiler to ll 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.

manual, the machine is safe to use based on scientic evidence available
today.
Preparing the machine for use
YOU CANNOT BREW COFFEE IF YOU HAVE NOT FLUSHED THE
SENSEO®COFFEE MACHINE FIRST!
The ushing cycle causes the boiler to be lled with water. After this the
coffee machine is ready for use.
Flush the machine in the following way:
1 Remove the water reservoir.
2 Fill the water reservoir with cold water up to the MAX indication
and put it back onto the machine.
3 Release the lid by moving the lever upwards.
ENGLISH8

4 Open the lid.
5 Put the 1-cup pod holder qor the 2-cup pod holder qq in the
machine without pod(s).
6 Close the lid and lock the lever.
Note: Make sure the lever is properly locked by pushing it down until it snaps
home with a click.
Note: Never ush 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.
9 Press the on/off button 3.
Type HD7824 only: after pressing the on/off button, the light rings around
the 1-cup button qand the 2-cup button qq burn continuously.
ENGLISH 9

10 Press the 1-cup button qand the 2-cup button qq briey at the
same time.
The boiler lls itself with water from the water reservoir. This may take
some time (approx. 90 to 150 seconds).The machine switches off
automatically when the ushing cycle ends. During the ushing cycle the
machine produces more noise than during a regular brewing cycle.
Never interrupt the ushing cycle halfway. If you do, the boiler will not
ll itself properly.
Note: Before you use the machine for the rst 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.
Never pour milk, coffee, hot water or carbonated water into the water
reservoir.
- qMIN: minimum amount of water required to brew 1 cup of
SENSEO\coffee.
- qq 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 ll the water reservoir each time you
want to make a cup of coffee.
2 Press the on/off button 3.
The indicator light ashes slowly while the water heats up. Heating up takes
approx. 75 seconds.
,The coffee machine is ready for use when the indicator light lights up
continuously. If the indicator light ashes rapidly, the water reservoir
does not contain enough water for brewing one cup of coffee.
,Type HD7824 only: the light rings around the 1-cup button qand
the 2-cup button qq also go on when the machine is ready for use.
If there is not enough water 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.
3 Release the lid by moving the lever upwards.
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.
