A clean machine with the new flushing and. descaling procedures
Note: Philips has improved the flushing and descending 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, flush the machine before you use it again (see section 'Flushing' in chapter 'Cleaning').
- If you have not used the coffee machine for one day, you have to flush 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 'Dscaling' when the CALC light goes on (after you have brewed approx. 400 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.

| First use | |
| Unpacking | |
| 1 Remove the machine from the box. Note: Make sure you store the 2-cup pod holder in a safe place. It is an essential part of the machine. Flushing the machine to fill the boiler | |

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:
1 Remove the water reservoir.
2 Fill the water reservoir with water up to the MAX indication.
3 Put the water reservoir back.

4 Place a bowl with a capacity of at least 1.5 litres on the cup tray.

Make sure a pod holder, without pod or pods, is in place.
6 Put the plug in an earthed wall socket.

7 Press the on/off button
The light ring around the on/off button lights up to indicate that you have to flush the machine.

8 To start flushing, press the 1-cup button and the 2-cup button briefly at the same time.
Never interrupt the flushing cycle halfway. If you do, the boiler does not fill itself properly.
The light ring around the on/off button starts flashing to indicate that the flushing cycle has started. The flushing cycle takes approx. 1.5 to 2.5 minutes.
During the flushing cycle, the boiler fills itself with water from the water reservoir and cold water comes out of the coffee spout. During the flushing 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 flushing cycle is finished and the machine switches off.
Now your Philips SENSEO® coffee machine is ready for use.
Note: If the machine does not work, repeat steps 1-8. Do not interrupt the flushing cycle.
Brewing SENSEO® coffee
Tips for the best SENSEO® quality
- Use fresh water every time.
- 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 stay fresh longer if you store them in an airtight storage container.
- To make sure that the coffee always tastes optimally, rinse the pod holders, the coffee collector and the coffee spout regularly.
- The SENSEO® coffee tastes best if you stir it before you drink it.
- If you have not used the coffee machine for some time, flush the machine before you use it again (see section 'Flushing the coffee machine' in chapter 'Cleaning the machine') with fresh water before you use it again.
- If you intend to make another cup of SENSEO® coffee later, just leave the coffee machine switched on. The machine automatically switches off after 30 minutes.
Filling the water reservoir

1 Fill the water reservoir with cold water up to the MAX indication and put it back onto the machine.
Never pour milk, coffee, hot water or carbonated water into the water reservoir.
The MIN indication on the water reservoir indicated the minimum amount of water required for brewing coffee. Always fill the water reservoir beyond the MIN level.
Switching on the machine

1 Put the plug in an earthed wall socket.
Press the on/off button
The light ring flashes slowly while the water heats up. Heating up takes approx. 75 seconds.
The coffee machine is ready for use when the light ring lights up continuously.
Note: If the light ring flashes rapidly, the water reservoir does not contain enough water for brewing one cup of coffee.
Placing a pod holder

1 Release the lid by moving the lever upwards. The lid opens automatically.
2 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 and the 1- cup button .

- 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 2-cup button 📦 🦹.
Placing one or two pods
1 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 causes it to become blocked.
- Place 1 SENSEO® coffee pod in the 1-cup pod holder.
- Place 2 SENSEO® coffee pods in the 2-cup pod holder.





2 Close the lid and lock the lever.
Make sure the lid is closed properly and the lid lever is locked before you start brewing coffee.
3 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.
4 Press the button indicating the number of cups of SENSEO® coffee you want to brew.
- Press the 1-cup button for one cup.
- Press the 2-cup button 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 . 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 filled.
Note: If no coffee comes out of the machine, you have not flushed the machine before first use. As a result, the boiler is not filled. Flush the machine as described in chapter 'Before first use' before you start brewing coffee. If only a small amount of coffee comes out of the machine, flush the machine as described in section 'Flushing' in chapter 'Cleaning' before you brew another cup of coffee.
5 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).
Interrupting the brewing process

Press the on/off button to interrupt the brewing process.
Note: If you switch the machine back on after you have interrupted the brewing process, the machine does not complete the interrupted brewing cycle.
Switching off

1 After 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, for energy saving.
Cleaning the machine
Never immerse the SENSEO® coffee machine in water.

5 Disassemble the coffee spout if you want to clean it more thoroughly.

6 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.

Hold the cup tray in your hand while you clean it with hot water. If necessary, use some washing-up liquid.

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.




8 Clean the pod holders in hot water, if necessary with some washing-up liquid, or in the dishwasher.
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. If necessary, use a washing-up brush to clean the sieve.
9 Clean the water reservoir in hot water, if necessary with some washing-up liquid, or in the dishwasher.
Note: If you use a washing-up brush, be careful not to damage the valve in the bottom of the water reservoir. Remove the water reservoir cover for easier cleaning.
10 Clean the water inlet on the machine with a moist cloth.
Do not use an object with sharp edges to clean the water inlet.
11 Rinse the parts with fresh water and put them back into the machine.
12 Clean the water distribution disc 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 disc. If it does, the coffee machine will start leaking!
Note: Be careful not to damage the metal tab on the water distribution disc.
Flushing the coffee machine
If you have not used the coffee machine for one day, you have to flush the machine with fresh water before you use the machine again.
To flush the boiler, brew two cups of hot water in the following way:

1 Fill the water reservoir with cold water at least up to the MIN level and put it back into the machine.
2 Put the 1-cup pod holder or the 2-cup pod holder in the machine without pod(s).
3 Close the lid and lock the lever.
4 Put two cups or a bowl under the coffee spout to collect the water.

The light ring flashes slowly while the water heats up. Heating up takes approx. 75 seconds.
The coffee machine is ready for use when the light ring lights up continuously.
6 Press the 2-cup button to brew two cups of hot water.
7 Throw away this water. Now the machine is ready for use again.


Dscaling (new procedure)

When to descale
- Descale the SENSEO® coffee machine as described below when the CALC light goes on (after you have brewed approx. 400 cups of SENSEO® coffee).
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 descending 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.
Use the correct descending agent
Only citric acid-based descalers are suitable for.
descaling the SENSEO machine.This type of
descaler descapes the machine without damaging
it.For the correct amount, see under'Descaling
procedure' below.Each descending mixture can be
used only once.After use, the descending mixture is
no longer active.
We advise you to use the special SENSEO®
Descaler (HD7012, HD7011, HD7006). For more information about this descaler, visit our website
www.philips.com.
Never use a descending agent based on mineral acids such as sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulphamic acid and acetic acid (e.g. vinegar). These descending agents may damage your SENSEO® coffee machine.
Dscaling procedure
Note:The descending procedure for this machine differs from that of previous models.
Note:The descending procedure consists of 2 descending cycles and 2 flushing cycles. Do not interrupt the descending cycles and do not switch off the machine before or between the flushing cycles.



1 Press the on/off button
The machine is ready for use when the light ring lights up continuously.
2 Mix 50 grams of citric acid with 1 litre of water. Fill the water reservoir with the descaler mixture.
3 Put the water reservoir back onto the coffee machine.

4 Place 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.
Make sure the lid is closed properly and the lid lever is locked before you start descending the machine.
Note: Always put a used coffee pod in the pod holder when you descale the machine. This pod serves as a 'filter' to prevent the sieve or hole in the pod holder from getting clogged with scale residue.
5 Put a bowl with a capacity of at least 1500ml under the spout to collect the descending mixture.

6 Press the 1-cup button and the 2-cup button briefly at the same time to start the descending cycle.
The CALC light and the light ring around the on/off button starts flashing to indicate that the descending cycle has started.
Hot water comes out of the coffee spout in intervals. During the descending cycle, the machine stops descending 3 to 4 times to let the descaler mixture act and to heat up.

Let the machine complete the entire descending cycle, which takes 4 to 5 minutes. Do not switch off the machine during the descending cycle!
- When all the water in the water reservoir has been used up, the first descending cycle is finished. The light ring around the on/off button starts to flash rapidly.


7 Repeat the descending procedure (steps 2 to 6) once. Replace the used pod with another used pod to filter out the scale residue.
Note: Do not refill the water reservoir with the used descending mixture.
8 Rinse the water reservoir with tap water. Fill the water reservoir up to the MAX indication with tap water and repeat steps 3 and 6.
Note: Do not refill the water reservoir with used hot water.
9 Fill the water reservoir with fresh tap water up to the MAX indication again and repeat steps 5 and 6 once more.
Note: Always rinse the machine by letting it empty two full water reservoirs.
10 Remove the used pod and clean the pod holder after descending to prevent the sieve in the centre from getting clogged.
Frost-free storage
After you have flushed the machine for the first time (see chapter 'Before first use'), it may only be used and stored in a frost-free place to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting
This chapter summarises the most common problems you could encounter with the machine. If you are unable to solve the problem with the information below, visit www.philips.com/support for a list of frequently asked questions or contact the Consumer Care Centre in your country.
| Problem | Solution |
| The light ring around the on/off button flashes slowly. | 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 off the machine and no longer use it at altitudes higher than 2200 metres above sea level. |
| The CALC light flashes. | You have pressed the 1-cup button and the 2-cup button at the same time. This started the descending cycle. If you did not intend to start the descending cycle, simply press the on/off button to switch off the machine. If you did intend to start the descending cycle, do not interrupt this cycle but let the appliance operate until the water reservoir is empty. |
| The CALC light does not go out after descending. | The CALC light does not go out if the descending procedure has not been performed correctly. To perform the descending procedure correctly: |
| Make sure you start the descending cycle by pressing the 1-cup button and the 2-cup button at the same time. See chapter ‘Descending’ for a complete description of the descending procedure. | |
| Make sure you do not interrupt the descending cycle. During the descending cycle, hot water comes out of the coffee spout at intervals and the machine stops descending 3 to 4 times to let the descending mixture act and to heat up again. If you press the on/off button to interrupt this cycle, the CALC light stays description of the descending procedure. | |
| Make sure you use four full water reservoirs to complete the descending procedure: two reservoirs filled with descending mixture and two reservoirs filled with fresh water. You start the two descending cycles and the two flushing cycles by pressing the 1-cup button and the 2-cup button at the same time. If you do not complete the descending procedure, scale residues remain behind in the machine. This causes scale to build up more quickly and may cause permanent and irreparable damage to the machine. | |
| Do not switch the machine off during the descale process. If you switch off the machine, you have to restart the whole descending procedure. | |
| The light ring around the on/off button continues to flash rapidly. | Make sure that: |
| the water reservoir is placed properly; | |
| there is enough water in the water reservoir (i.e. above the MIN level if you want to brew 1 cup); | |
| the ambient temperature is not lower than 10°C. If it is, the machine does not function properly. | |
| Water leaks from the coffee machine. | Make sure that: |
| the water reservoir has not been filled 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; | |
| 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 figure 1 at the beginning of this user manual). | |
| 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 Consumer Care Centre in your country. | |
| I cannot take the coffee spout out of the machine. | You can only remove the coffee spout after you have removed the coffee collector. |
| I cannot open the lid. | A vacuum may have temporarily formed under the lid. |
| Switch off the machine. Pull up the lever as far as it goes and wait 24 hours before you open 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 to unclog the sieve. | |
| Make sure you do not move the SENSEO® machine. Moving the machine, placing it outdoors or in a cool or cold environment does not accelerate the unlocking of the lid. | |
| Do NOT put the SENSEO® machine in the fridge or freezer, as this does not accelerate the unlocking of the lid. | |
| If problems continue to occur, contact the Philips Consumer 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 'Dscaling'). | |
| I cannot close the lid 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 D0. Use 1 pod in combination with the 1-cup pod holder D1. | |
| The machine has been stored in a room that was not frost-free. | Contact the Philips Consumer 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 Ⓞ and the 1-cup button Ⓞ. Use 2 pods in combination with the 2-cup pod holder Ⓞ and the 2-cup button Ⓞ; | |
| you have placed the coffee pod(s) properly in the centre of the pod holder; to prevent water from escaping along the edge of the pod(s). When you use two coffee pods on top of each other, make sure that the convex sides of both pods point downwards and press the pods lightly into the pod holder; | |
| you have not used the same coffee pod twice by accident; | |
| the coffee in the pod is evenly distributed; | |
| If you prefer a more robust flavour, SENSEO®coffee pods with a stronger blend are available. | |
| The SENSEO®coffee is too strong. | If you prefer a milder flavour, 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 cause the coffee to get cold more quickly. Make sure the cups have a capacity of at least 150ml. |
