Introduction
With SENSEO\you can enjoy a perfect cup of coffee with a delicious
crema layer whenever you feel like it. Each cup is freshly brewed, so
you're always sure of a pure and round taste. SENSEO\combines a
unique brewing method from Philips with convenient coffee pods from
Moccona, available in different blends of fine roast and ground coffee.
Together they make sure you only get the very best in flavour and
aroma from the coffee.
The Moccona coffee in convenient SENSEO\coffee pads and Philips'
unique new SENSEO\brewing system are perfectly matched to
ensure that the best taste and aroma are extracted from the coffee.
To optimise the taste of the coffee, you should keep the following
aspects in mind:
Fresh water
Use fresh water every day. IIf you have not used the coffee machine for
three days, you have to flush it with fresh water before you use it again
(see section Flushing at chapter 'Cleaning').
Fresh coffee pads
Use the SENSEO \coffee pads that have been specially developed by
Moccona for your SENSEO\coffee machine for a full, round taste.The
Moccona SENSEO\coffee pads will stay fresh longer if you close the
package by means of the keep-fresh seal after use or if you store them
in a storage container.
A clean machine
Clean and descale your Philips SENSEO\coffee machine regularly
(see 'Cleaning' and 'Descaling'). Remove used coffee pads after
brewing. If a used pad 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 'Preparing the machine for use').

Important
Read these instructions for use carefully before using the machine and
save them for future reference.
◗Check if the voltage indicated on the bottom of the machine
corresponds to the local mains voltage before you connect the
machine.
◗If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Philips, a
service centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualified persons
in order to avoid a hazard.
◗To prevent unexpected contact with hot water, always make sure
the lid of the SENSEO\machine is properly locked before you
start using the machine.
◗Never put normal ground coffee or use torn pods in the SENSEO
machine, as this will cause it to become blocked.
◗Do not use the machine in combination with a transformer, as this
could cause hazardous situations.
◗Put the machine on a flat, stable surface outside the reach of
children and make sure children do not play with the machine.
Never let the machine operate unattended.
◗Do not use the machine at altitudes higher than 1500 metres
above sea level.
◗The machine does not work at temperatures below 10cC.
◗Flush the coffee machine with fresh water before using it for the
first time (See 'Preparing the machine for use').This will cause the
boiler to fill with water, which is essential for the machine to
work properly.
Preparing the machine for use
NB:You cannot brew coffee if you 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:
C1Remove the water reservoir.
ENGLISH 5

C2Fill the water reservoir with cold water up to the MAX
indication and put it back into the machine.
C3Release the lid by moving the lever upwards.
C4Open the lid.
C5Put the 1-cup or 2-cup pad holder in the machine without
pad(s).
C6Close the lid and lock the lever.
BMake sure the lever is properly locked by pushing it down until it snaps
home with a click.
BNever flush the machine with the lid open.The lid must be properly
locked.

C8Put a bowl (with a capacity of at least 1500 ml) under the
coffee outflow openings to collect the water.
C9Press on/off button Iand subsequently press buttons °and
°° briefly at the same time.
◗The machine will fill itself with water from the water reservoir.
This will take some time and you will probably not notice that this
is happening.After a while, the machine will start flushing and it
will switch itself off after the flushing cycle. During the flushing
cycle the machine produces more noise than during a regular
brewing cycle.
BBefore using the machine for the first time, clean the coffee outflow unit
and the pad holders with hot water and some washing-up liquid or in a
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
C1Fill the water reservoir with cold water up to the MAX
indication and put it back into the machine.
Never pour milk, coffee, hot water or carbonated water into the water
reservoir.
-°MIN: minimum amount of water required to brew 1 cup of
SENSEO\coffee.
-°° MIN: minimum amount of water required to brew 2 cups of
SENSEO\coffee.
- A full reservoir allows you to make SENSEO\coffee a number of
times (up to 5 cups (HD7812, HD7810), 10 cups (HD7811).This
makes it unnecessary to fill the water reservoir each time you want
to make a cup of coffee.
C2Press on/off button I.
The pilot light blinks while the water is heating up. Heating up takes
approx. 90 seconds.
◗The coffee machine is ready for use when the pilot light burns

5First place the appropriate pad holder in the machine.
BMake sure the pad holder is clean and the sieve in the centre is not
clogged, e.g. loose coffee grounds.
C◗If you want to make one cup of SENSEO\coffee, use 1 coffee
pad in combination with the 1-cup pad holder and the °button.
C◗If you want to make two cups of SENSEO\coffee, use 2 coffee
pads in combination with the deeper 2-cup pad holder and the
°° button.

C7Close the lid and lock the lever.
Always check if the lid is properly locked.The lever must be pushed
down until it snaps home with a click.
Never start brewing with the lid open.The lid must be properly closed.
C8Place one cup or two cups under the outflow openings.
The cups you use should have a capacity of at least 150 ml. Do not use
cups that are too large, as they will cause the coffee to get cold more
quickly.
C9Press the button indicating the number of cups of SENSEO\
coffee you want to brew.
-°for one cup
-°° for two cups
◗The SENSEO\coffee machine starts brewing.
- The machine automatically supplies the optimal amount of water.
- You can interrupt the brewing process at any time by pressing the
on/off button I. 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 filled.
If the cups are only half full when the machine stops brewing, there was
not enough water left in the water reservoir to brew two cups.To
obtain two full cups, fill the water reservoir and press button °for
one cup.The two cups will then be filled completely.
10 Remove the coffee pad(s) after use by lifting the pad holder out
of the machine and emptying it.
Be careful when doing this, for there may still be some water/coffee on
the coffee pad(s).
Tips
◗By rinsing the pad holders and the coffee outflow unit regularly,
you will make sure that the coffee always tastes optimally.
◗The SENSEO\coffee will taste best if you stir it before drinking
it.
