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’).

regarding electromagnetic elds (EMF). If handled
properly and in accordance with the instructions in this
instruction manual, the appliance is safe to use according
to scientic evidence available today.
Preparing the machine for use
YOU CANNOT BREW COFFEE IFYOU 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).
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).
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.
q MIN: 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Problem Solution
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.
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 Senseo
coffee 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.
Problem Solution
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.
