Note: Philips has improved the ushing and descaling
procedures. See chapters ‘Cleaning’ and ‘Descaling’ for
the new procedures.
Clean and descale your 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, ush
the machine before you use it again (see section
‘Flushing’ in chapter ‘Cleaning’).
- If you have not used the coffee machine for three
days, you have to ush 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. 250 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.

,The light ring around the on/off button starts
ashing to indicate that the ushing cycle has
started. The ushing cycle takes approx. 1.5 to
2.5 minutes.
,During the ushing cycle, the boiler lls itself
with water from the water reservoir and cold
water comes out of the coffee spout. During the
ushing 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 ushing cycle is nished and
the machine switches off.

ashes intermittently.
7 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.
8 Press the button indicating the number of cups
of SENSEO® coffee you want to brew.
- Press the 1-cup button q for one cup.
- Press the 2-cup button qq for two cups.
,The SENSEO® coffee machine starts brewing.

- 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 lled.
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

9 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).

- To make sure that the coffee always tastes
optimally, rinse the pod holders, the coffee

Only citric acid-based descalers are suitable for
descaling the SENSEO® machine. This type of
descaler descales the machine without damaging
it. For the correct amount, see under ‘Descaling
procedure’ below. Each descaling mixture can be
used only once. After use, the descaling mixture is no
longer active.
We advise you to use the special SENSEO®
Descaler (HD7006).
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.

,Hot water comes out of the coffee spout in
intervals. During the descaling cycle, the machine
stops descaling 3 to 4 times to let the descaler
mixture soak in and to heat up.
Let the machine complete the entire descaling
cycle, which takes 4 to 5 minutes. Do not switch
off the machine during the descaling cycle!
