Introduction
With the Senseo\coffee machine by Philips you can enjoy a perfect cup
of coffee - topped with a rich crema layer - whenever you feel like it. Each
cup is freshly brewed, so you're always sure of that pure, smooth taste.
The unique Senseo\brewing system from Philips in combination with
the special Senseo\coffee pods from Douwe Egberts make sure you
get only the very best in flavour and aroma from freshly roasted coffee.
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 optimise the taste of the coffee, you should keep the following
aspects in mind:
Fresh water
Use fresh water every day. If you have not used the machine for some
time, rinse the water reservoir, fill it with fresh water and flush the
machine before you use it again (see 'Preparing the machine for use').
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 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 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 '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.
◗Do not use the machine if the plug, the cord or the machine itself
is damaged.
◗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.
◗Always return the machine to a service centre authorised by
Philips for examination or repair. Do not attempt to repair the
machine yourself, otherwise your garantee will become invalid.
◗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.
◗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 2200 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.
◗Do not use the Senseo\machine in combination with water
softeners based on sodium exchange.
◗Be careful not to scratch or otherwise damage the metal housing
and the water reservoir with any hard object or to bang them
against a sharp edge.
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 pod holder in the machine without
pod(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.
7Put the plug in an earthed wall socket.
ENGLISH6

C8Put a bowl (with a capacity of at least 1500 ml) under the
coffee outflow openings to collect the water.
C9Press on/off button 3and 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 it properly
(see 'Cleaning').
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).This makes it unnecessary to fill the water
reservoir each time you want to make a cup of coffee.
C2Press on/off button 3.
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
continuously.
ENGLISH 7

C3Release the lid by moving the lever upwards.
4Open the lid.
5First place the appropriate pod holder in the machine.
BMake sure the pod holder is clean and the small hole in the centre is not
clogged, e.g. with loose coffee grains.
C◗If you want to make one cup of Senseo\coffee, use 1 coffee pod
in combination with the 1-cup pod holder and the ¿button.
C◗If you want to make two cups of Senseo\coffee, use 2 coffee
pods in combination with the deeper 2-cup pod holder and the
¿¿ button.
6Next, place the Senseo\coffee pod(s) properly in the centre
of the pod holder with the convex side pointing downwards.
Make sure the coffee in the pod(s) is evenly distributed and press the
pod(s) lightly into the pod holder.
BUse Senseo\coffee pods from Douwe Egberts especially designed for
your Senseo\coffee machine for a full and round taste.
C◗Place 1 Senseo\coffee pod in the 1-cup pod holder.
C◗Place 2 Senseo\coffee pods in the 2-cup pod holder.
BNever use torn pods or normal ground coffee, as this could cause the
machine to become blocked.
ENGLISH8

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 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 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 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).
ENGLISH 9

Tips
◗By rinsing the pod 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.
C◗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.
Cleaning
Never immerse the Senseo\coffee machine in water.
Never clean the machine by flushing it with the lid open.
1Always unplug the machine before cleaning it.
2Clean the outside of the machine with a soft moist cloth.
Remove stubborn coffee stains with vinegar diluted with hot water and
then wipe away the vinegar residues with a soft cloth moistened with
clean water.
Never use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents and materials.
C3Remove the coffee outflow unit.
C◗You can disassemble the coffee outflow unit for more thorough
cleaning!
