Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips! To fully benefit

www.philips.com/welcome.
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 SENSEO® coffee pods, giving you a full, smooth coffee
with a delicious foam layer. The 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.
Discover all SENSEO® coffee blends at www.senseo.com. To ensure a
smooth and full coffee taste, you should keep the following things in mind:
Flush before first use
Flush the machine before first use. After the flushing cycle (which only takes
approx. 2 minutes), the machine is ready for brewing coffee.
When to descale
Descale the SENSEO® coffee machine when the CALC light lights up, but at
least once every 3 months. There is no difference between soft-water and
hard-water areas in this respect. Descaling takes about 1 hour. Do not
interrupt the descaling process.
Fresh coffee pods
Use the specially developed SENSEO® coffee pods with your SENSEO®
coffee machine for a full, round taste. SENSEO® coffee pods stay fresh
longer when you store them in a storage container.
Clean cold water
Use clean cold water every day. If you have not used the coffee machine for
one day, you have to flush it with clean cold water before you use it again.
A clean machine
Clean and descale the Philips SENSEO® coffee 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. For more information on why it is
important to descale, how to descale or which descaler to use, visit our
website at www.philips.com/descale-senseo.

Fresh milk
To get the best results, we advise you to use cold semi-skimmed milk
directly from the fridge. If there is still milk in the milk container after
brewing, you can store the milk container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Cleaning the milk spout and the milk container
For a reliable performance of the milk spout and consistently good frothing
results, it is important to clean the milk spout, the milk tube and the milk
container regularly and thoroughly. The milk spout can be disassembled
completely, which allows you to remove all milk residues from it.

spout and milk tube within 30 minutes after use. After the last use of the
day, clean the milk spout and milk tube thoroughly.
Rinsing after every use
