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’).

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 qualied 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 at, 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 2200 metres above sea level.
The machine does not work at temperatures below 10 °C.
Flush the coffee machine with fresh water before using it for the rst time
(see chapter ‘Preparing the machine for use’). This will cause the boiler to ll
with water, which is essential for the machine to work properly.
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. (Fig. 2)
2 Fill the water reservoir with cold water up to the MAX indication and put it
back onto the machine. (Fig. 3)
3 Release the lid by moving the lever upwards. (Fig. 4)
4 Open the lid. (Fig. 5)
5 Put the 1-cup pod holder qor the 2-cup pod holder qq in the machine
without pod(s). (Fig. 6)

ENGLISH 6 Close the lid and lock the lever. (Fig. 7)
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. (Fig. 8)
9 Press the on/off button 3. (Fig. 9)
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.
10 Press the 1-cup button qand the 2-cup button qq briey at the same time.
(Fig. 10)
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. (Fig. 3)
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. (Fig. 11)
The indicator light blinks slowly while the water is heating up. Heating up takes
approx. 75 seconds.
The coffee machine is ready for use when the indicator light burns
continuously. If the indicator light blinks 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 button will not go on and this button cannot be operated.
3 Release the lid by moving the lever upwards. (Fig. 4)
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.
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. (Fig. 12)
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. (Fig. 13)
6 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.
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
will cause it to become blocked.
Place 1 SENSEO\coffee pod in the 1-cup pod holder q. (Fig. 14)
Place 2 SENSEO\coffee pods in the 2-cup pod holder qq. (Fig. 15)
7 Close the lid and lock the lever. (Fig. 7)
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.
8 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. (Fig. 16)
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.
9 Press the button indicating the number of cups of SENSEO\coffee you want
to brew. (Fig. 17)
Press the 1-cup button qfor one cup.
Press the 2-cup button qq for two cups.

Type HD7824 only: the light rings around the 1-cup button qand 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 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
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.
Types HD7822/HD7820 only: 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, ll the water reservoir and press the 1-cup button q.The
two cups will then be lled completely.
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.
10 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. 18)
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. 19)
4 Take the coffee spout out of the machine by sliding it upwards. (Fig. 20)
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. 21)
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. 22)
6 Hold the cup tray in your hand while cleaning it with hot water, if necessary
with some washing-up liquid. (Fig. 23)
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. 24)
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. 25)
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. 26)
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. 27)
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 qor the 2-cup pod holder qq in the machine
without pod(s). (Fig. 12)
3 Put a bowl (with a capacity of at least 1500 ml) under the coffee spout to
collect the water. (Fig. 8)
4 Press the on/off button 3(1) and subsequently press buttons the 1-cup
button qand the 2-cup button qq briey at the same time (2). (Fig. 28)

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. If the machine is used twice a day on average,
it must be descaled once every 3 months.
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. 11)
The machine is ready for use when the indicator light burns continuously.
3 Place the 1-cup pod holder qin 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 and let the machine operate. Repeat this until the
water reservoir is empty. (Fig. 29)
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 rell 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 orderd 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 ofcial collection point for recycling. By doing this
you will help to preserve the environment. (Fig. 30)

Troubleshooting
If you have a problem, you may nd the solution in the table below. If the table does
not provide the solution to your problem or if you have a question, see chapter
‘Guarantee & service’.
Problem Solution
The indicator light
continues to blink
slowly.
You have not yet ushed the coffee machine (see chapter
‘Preparing the machine for use’).
You have used the SENSEO\coffee machine at an altitude
higher than 2200 metres above sea level.This has caused the
water in the machine to start boiling before it has reached
the required temperature, which prevents the machine from
functioning properly. Switch the machine off and no longer
use it at altitudes higher than 2200 metres above sea level.
The SENSEO\
coffee machine
does not produce
coffee when used
for the rst time.
You have not yet ushed the coffee machine. When you
use the machine for the rst time, you have to ush it
before you start brewing coffee (see chapter ‘Preparing the
machine for use’).
The indicator light
continues to blink
rapidly.
Make sure that:
the water reservoir has been properly placed;
there is enough water in the water reservoir (i.e. above the
q MIN level if you want to brew 1 cup);
the ambient temperature is not lower than 10 °C. If it is, the
machine will not function properly.
Type HD7824 only:
the 2-cup button
qq cannot be
operated.
Make sure that there is enough water in the water reservoir
for brewing 2 cups of coffee. If the light ring around the
2-cup button qq is out, there is not enough water in the
water reservoir for brewing 2 cups.
Water leaks from
the coffee machine.
Make sure that:
the lid is properly closed (the lever must be properly
locked);
the water reservoir has not been lled beyond the MAX
level;
the sieve in the centre of the pod holder is not clogged.
If it is, unclog the sieve by holding the pod holder under a
running tap. If necessary, you can use a washing-up brush or
a pin to unclog the sieve;
the coffee pod has been put properly in the centre of the
pod holder;
the sealing ring has not got stuck under the edge of the
water distribution disc (see gure 1 at the beginning of these
instructions for use).
the water drops on the worktop are not the result of
placing or removing the water reservoir or removing used
coffee pods.
you do not remove the water reservoir when the coffee
machine is heating up.This may cause water that normally
ends up in the water reservoir to leak out of the machine.
In all other cases, contact the Philips Customer Care Centre
in your country.
The coffee spout
cannot be taken
out of the machine.
The coffee spout can only be taken out after the coffee
collector has been removed.
The lid cannot be
opened.
A vacuum may have temporarily formed under the lid.
Switch the machine off. Pull the lever up as far as it will go
and wait 24 hours before opening the lid. You may need to
use quite some force.
Make sure that the sieve in the centre of the pod holder
is not clogged. If it is, unclog the sieve by holding the pod
holder under a running tap. If necessary, you can use a
washing-up brush or a pin to unclog the sieve.
Problem Solution
If problems continue to occur, contact the Philips Customer
Care Centre in your country.
The coffee machine
produces less
coffee than before.
Perhaps 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.
Descale the machine (see chapter ‘Descaling’).
The SENSEOcoffee
machine brews only
a small quantity of
coffee or no coffee
at all when it is
used for the rst
time.
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.
The lid cannot be
closed properly.
Check if a used coffee pod is sticking to the water
distribution disc. If this is the case, remove the used pod.
Check if you used the correct pod holder. Use 2 pods in
combination with the deeper 2-cup pod holder qq. Use 1
pod in combination with the 1-cup pod holder q.
The machine has
been stored in a
room that was not
frost-free.
Contact the Philips Customer Care Centre in your country.
The SENSEO\
coffee is not strong
enough.
Make sure that:
you have used the correct number of pods and have
pressed the right button. Use 1 pod in combination with the
1-cup pod holder qand the 1-cup button q. Use 2 pods in
combination with the 2-cup pod holder qq and the 2-cup
button qq;
the coffee pod(s) have been placed properly in the centre
of the pod holder, to prevent water from escaping along the
edge of the pod(s). When you are using two coffee pods on
top of each other, make sure that the convex sides of both
pods are pointing downwards and press the pods lightly into
the pod holder;
you have not used the same pod twice by accident;
the coffee in the pod is evenly distributed;
If you prefer a more robust avour, SENSEO\coffee pods
with a stronger blend are available.
The SENSEO\
coffee is too strong.
If you prefer a milder avour, SENSEO\coffee pods with a
milder blend are available.
The coffee is not
hot enough.
Do not use cups that are too large, as they will cause the
coffee to get cold more quickly. Make sure the cups have a
capacity of at least 150 ml.
