Introduction
With this SENSEO® coffee machine, you can enjoy a perfect cup of
coffee topped with a rich frothy coffee layer whenever you feel like it.
Each cup is freshly brewed, so you’re always sure of a pure and round
taste. This SENSEO® coffee machine combines a unique brewing
method with convenient coffee pods from SENSEO, available in
different blends of fine roast and ground coffee. Together they make
sure you only get the very best in flavor and aroma from the coffee.
This new SENSEO machine offers you more choice as it has extra
strength select settings. Next to the long, smooth SENSEO coffee, you
can also choose to brew a short strong SENSEO coffee by simply
pressing the button twice. The convenient SENSEO pods and the
unique SENSEO® brewing system are perfectly matched to ensure
that the best taste and aroma are extracted from the coffee. To
optimize the taste of the coffee, keep the following aspects in mind:
Clean cold water
Use clean cold water every day. If you have not used the coffee
machine for three days, you have to flush it with clean cold 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
for your SENSEO® coffee machine for a full, round taste. SENSEO®
8English

coffee pods stay fresh longer when you store them in a storage
container.
A clean machine
Clean and descale the 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, flush the machine before
you use it again (see section ‘Flushing’ in chapter ‘Cleaning’). For more
information on why it is important to descale, how to descale or which
descaler to use, visit our website.

properly closed.
Brewing coffee
1Place one cup or two cups under the coffee outflow unit. The cups
you use should have a capacity of at least 5.0fl.oz. (150ml). Do not
use cups that are too large, as they cause the coffee to get cold
more quickly.
2Press the button that indicates the number of cups of SENSEO®
coffee you want to brew.
12 English

-Press the 1-cup button once for one large mild cup of coffee.
Tip: Press the same button twice for one strong small cup of coffee.
The indicator light shines less bright to indicate you have pressed
the same button twice.
-Press the 2-cup button once for two large mild cups of coffee.
Tip: Press the same button twice for two strong small cups of
coffee. The indicator light shines less bright to indicate you have
pressed the same button twice.
-The SENSEO® coffee machine starts brewing. The machine
automatically supplies the optimal amount of water.
Warning: Do not remove the water reservoir during a brewing
cycle, as this will cause the machine to draw in air.
3After use, lift the pod holder out of the machine and remove the
coffee pod(s). Be careful when you do this, for there may still be
some water/coffee on the coffee pod(s).
4After use, press the on/off button to switch off the machine.
Note: If you do not use the machine, it switches off automatically
after 30 minutes to save energy.
Note: Never put normal ground coffee or use torn pods in the
SENSEO® machine, as this causes it to become blocked.
Cleaning the machine
Never immerse the machine in water or any other liquid.
Never clean the machine by flushing it with the lid open.
Cleaning the coffee machine
1Always unplug the machine before you clean it.
2Clean the outside of the machine with a moist cloth.
3Remove the coffee outflow unit.
13
English

-You can disassemble the coffee outflow unit for more thorough
cleaning.
4Clean the coffee outflow unit, the pod holders, the drip tray, the
cup tray and the water reservoir in hot water, if necessary with
some dishwashing liquid, or in the dishwasher.
5To prevent clogging, clean the pod holders regularly with hot water,
some dishwashing liquid and a dishwashing brush. If you have used
the 2-cup pod holder to brew cappuccino or hot chocolate, make
sure to clean it thoroughly immediately after use to remove any
milk residues.
Note: Use the pod holder in the machine during descaling to clean
it even more effectively.
6Clean the water distribution disk with a moist cloth. Be careful
when you do this. Make sure that the rubber sealing ring does not
get stuck under the edge of the water distribution disk. If it does,
the coffee machine starts to leak.
Flushing the coffee machine
If you have not used the coffee machine for three days, flush it with
clean cold water before you use it again. Flush the machine in the
following way:
1Fill the water reservoir with clean cold water up to the MAX
indication and put it back onto the machine.
14 English

2Put the 1-cup pod holder or the 2-cup pod holder in the machine
without pod(s).
3Put a bowl with a capacity at least 1.6 qt (1.5 liters) under the coffee
outflow unit to collect the water.
4Press the on/off button. Wait until the machine has heated up.
Then press the 2-cup button several times until the water reservoir
is empty.
Descaling
When to descale
Descale the SENSEO® coffee machine frequently. Preferably descale
4 to 6 times a year, but at least once every 3 months. There is no
difference between soft-water and hard-water areas in this respect.
Descaling takes about 30 minutes. Do not interrupt the descaling
process.
Why to descale
Scale builds up inside the machine during use. It is essential to
descale the SENSEO® coffee machine at least every 3 months. Your
reasons to descale:
-It prolongs the life of your SENSEO® coffee machine
-It ensures maximum cup volume
-It ensures maximum coffee temperature
-The machine produces less sound during brewing
-It prevents malfunctioning
If the descaling procedure is not performed correctly, scale residue
remains behind in the machine. This causes scale to build up more
quickly and may cause permanent and irreparable damage to the
machine.
15
English

Use the correct descaler
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. Use
a new descaling mixture each time.
Descaling procedure
The descaling procedure consists of 2 descaling cycles, each with 1
liter of descaling mixture, and 2 flushing cycles. Do not interrupt the
descaling cycles and do not switch off the machine before or between
the flushing cycles.
1Press the on/off button to turn on the machine.
2Place the 1-cup pod holder with a used coffee pod in it in the
coffee machine. Close the lid and make sure it is properly locked.
3Mix the descaler powder with 1 quart (1 liter) of water in a
measuring jug. Stir until the powder is completely dissolved.
Note: You have to use 2 quarts (2 liters) of descaling mixture: one
liter for each descaling cycle.
4Fill the water reservoir up to the MAX indication with the descaler
mixture.
5Put the water reservoir back into the coffee machine. The machine
is ready for use when the indicator light lights up continuously.
6Put a bowl with a capacity of at least 1.6 qt (1.5 liters) under the
coffee outflow unit to collect the descaling mixture.
7Press the 2-cup button once and let the machine operate. Repeat
this until the water reservoir is empty.
Note: Make sure that you use up the descaling mixture completely
during the descaling cycle.
Warning: Never interrupt the descaling cycle.
8Exchange the 1-cup pod holder for the 2-cup pod holder.Place a
used pod in the 2-cup pod holder and close the lid.
9Repeat steps 3 to 7.
Warning: Never descale the SENSEO® coffee machine with the
lid open. Make sure the lid is properly locked.
10 Remove the used pod and clean both pod holders after descaling
with hot water and a dishwashing brush to prevent the sieve in the
center from getting clogged.
16 English

11 Rinse the water reservoir with clean cold water. Fill the water
reservoir up to the MAX indication with clean cold water and repeat
steps 5 to 7.
Note: Do not refill the water reservoir with used hot water or the
used descaling mixture.
12 Rinse the water reservoir once again with clean cold water. Fill the
water reservoir with clean cold water up to the MAX indication and
repeat steps 5 to 7 once more.
Note: Always rinse the machine by letting it empty two full water
reservoirs.
Frost-free storage
If the coffee machine has already been used and therefore has been
flushed with water, it may only be used and stored in a frost-free
place to prevent it from becoming damaged.
