Green coffee machine
Enjoy your favourite coffee in an eco-friendly way
with the uniquely designed SENSEO®Viva Café Eco.
Because half of its plastics are recycled and it saves
energy with its 5-minute auto shut-off function, this
is the most sustainable SENSEO®coffee machine
yet. Now you can enjoy the coffee you love, from
a stylish machine, while helping to protect the
environment.
Philips uses the latest technologies to create
products that are good for the environment,
in terms of material usage as well as energy
consumption.The Philips SENSEO®Viva Café Eco
coffee machine is made of 50% recycled plastics.
Recycled plastics are environment friendly because
they are derived from other products that are no
longer used.This production method results in
considerably less waste than the traditional method
of creating new parts.
At the end of the machine’s life, up to 90% of its
materials can be recycled thanks to its design and
the materials that were used to produce it.
This is a green product according to Philips’ own
requirements. Philips has committed itself to
continuously improving its performance in the green
focus areas: energy efficiency, packaging, hazardous
substances, weight, recycling, disposal and lifetime
reliability. For more information on this and other
environmental efforts by Philips, please visit
www.asimpleswitch.com
Because of the recycled materials used, there may
be some slight blemishes in the colour of the plastics.
Philips tries to ensure that these blemishes are not in
view on the nished product.

SENSEO®coffee system
Make your coffee moments truly special with
SENSEO®.This unique system combines the
easy-to-use Philips SENSEO®coffee machine with
the specially developed Douwe Egberts SENSEO®
coffee pods, giving you a full, smooth coffee with a
delicious foam layer.
The Douwe Egberts coffee in convenient SENSEO®
coffee pods and Philips’ unique new SENSEO®
brewing system are perfectly matched to ensure that
the best taste and aroma are extracted from the
coffee.
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 one day, 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 stay
fresh longer if you store them in an airtight storage
container.
Discover all SENSEO®coffee blends that are
available at www.senseo.com.
A clean machine with the new flushing and
descaling procedures
Note: Philips has improved the ushing and descaling
procedures. See chapters ‘Cleaning’ and ‘Descaling’ for
the new procedures.
ENGLISH8

machine regularly.
- 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’).
- If you have not used the coffee machine for one
day, you have to flush the machine with fresh
water before you use the machine again (see
section ‘Flushing’ in chapter ‘Cleaning’).
- Descale the SENSEO®coffee machine as
described in chapter ‘Descaling’ when the
CALC light goes on (after you have brewed
approx. 400 cups of SENSEO®coffee).You can
also descale the SENSEO®coffee machine more
often (every 3 months) in the same way. Descaling
takes 20 to 30 minutes. Do not interrupt the
descaling process.

First use
Unpacking
1 Remove the machine from the box.
Note: Make sure you store the 2-cup pod holder in a
safe place. It is an essential part of the machine.
Flushing the machine to fill the boiler
YOU CANNOT BREW COFFEE IFYOU
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.
ENGLISH12

2 Fill the water reservoir with water up to the
MAX indication.
3 Put the water reservoir back.
4 Place a bowl with a capacity of at least 1.5
litres on the cup tray.
5 Make sure a pod holder, without pod or pods,
is in place.
6 Put the plug in an earthed wall socket.
7 Press the on/off button 3.
The light ring around the on/off button lights up to
indicate that you have to flush the machine.
ENGLISH 13

8 To start flushing, press the 1-cup button qand
the 2-cup button qq briefly at the same time.
Never interrupt the flushing cycle halfway. If you
do, the boiler does not fill itself properly.
,The light ring around the on/off button starts
flashing to indicate that the flushing cycle has
started.The flushing cycle takes approx. 1.5 to
2.5 minutes.
,During the flushing cycle, the boiler fills itself
with water from the water reservoir and cold
water comes out of the coffee spout. During the
flushing cycle, the machine produces more noise
than during a regular brewing cycle.
,When all the water in the water reservoir has
been used up, the flushing cycle is finished and
the machine switches off.
Now your Philips SENSEO®coffee machine
is ready for use.
Note: If the machine does not work, repeat steps 1-8.
Do not interrupt the ushing cycle.
Brewing SENSEO®coffee
Tips for the best SENSEO®quality
- Use fresh water every time.
- 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
stay fresh longer if you store them in an airtight
storage container.
- To make sure that the coffee always tastes
optimally, rinse the pod holders, the coffee
collector and the coffee spout regularly.
ENGLISH14

- The SENSEO®coffee tastes best if you stir it
before you drink it.
- If you have not used the coffee machine for
some time, flush the machine before you use it
again (see section ‘Flushing the coffee machine’ in
chapter ‘Cleaning the machine’) with fresh water
before you use it again.
- If you intend to make another cup of SENSEO®
coffee later, just leave the coffee machine switched
on.The machine automatically switches off after
5 minutes.
Filling the water reservoir
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.
The MIN indication on the water reservoir
indicated the minimum amount of water required
for brewing coffee.Always fill the water reservoir
beyond the MIN level.
Switching on the machine

,The light ring flashes slowly while the water
heats up. Heating up takes approx. 75 seconds.
,The coffee machine is ready for use when
the light ring lights up continuously.
Note: If the light ring ashes rapidly, the water reservoir
does not contain enough water for brewing one cup
of coffee.
ENGLISH 15

Placing a pod holder
1 Release the lid by moving the lever upwards.
,The lid opens automatically.
2 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 qand the 1- cup button q.
- If you want to make two cups of SENSEO ®
coffee, use 2 coffee pods in combination with
the deeper 2-cup pod holder qq and the 2-cup
button qq.
Placing one or two pods
1 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.
ENGLISH16

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 causes it to
become blocked.
- Place 1 SENSEO®coffee pod in the 1-cup pod
holder q.
- Place 2 SENSEO®coffee pods in the 2-cup pod
holder qq.
2 Close the lid and lock the lever.
It is not possible to brew coffee when the lid is not
properly closed and the lid lever is not locked. In
this case, the light ring around the on/off button
flashes intermittently
3 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.
The cups you use should have a capacity of at least
150 ml. Do not use cups that are too large, as
they cause the coffee to get cold more quickly.
ENGLISH 17

4 Press the button indicating the number of cups
of SENSEO®coffee you want to brew.
- Press the 1-cup button qfor one cup.
- Press the 2-cup button qq for two cups.
The SENSEO®coffee machine starts
brewing.

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 does not complete
the interrupted brewing cycle.
Do not remove the water reservoir during a
brewing cycle, as this causes the machine to
draw in air.When this happens, the next cup is
only partly filled.
Note: If no coffee comes out of the machine, you have
not ushed the machine before rst use. As a result,
the boiler is not lled. Flush the machine as described
in chapter ‘Before rst use’ before you start brewing
coffee. If only a small amount of coffee comes out of
the machine, ush the machine as described in section
‘Flushing’ in chapter ‘Cleaning’ before you brew another
cup of coffee.
5 Remove the coffee pod(s) after use by lifting
the pod holder out of the machine and
emptying it.
Be careful when you do this, for there may still be
some water/coffee on the coffee pod(s).
ENGLISH18

Interrupting the brewing process
1 Press the on/off button 3to interrupt the
brewing process.
Note: If you switch the machine back on after you have
interrupted the brewing process, the machine does not
complete the interrupted brewing cycle.
