3.1 Compliance with standards

This machine complies with all standards regarding electromagnetic fields (EMF). If handled properly and according to the instructions in this user manual, the machine is safe to use based on scientific evidence available today.

The energy consumption of this machine in off mode is less than 1 watt. This means that this machine complies with European Directive 2009/125/EC, which sets the ecological design requirements for energy-using products.

You cannot brew coffee if you have not flushed the SENSEO® coffee machine first! The flushing cycle causes the boiler to fill with water. After this, the coffee machine is ready for use. Flush the machine in the following way: 1 Tilt the water reservoir outwards and lift it out of the machine (Fig. 2). 2 Fill the water reservoir with cold water up to the MAX indication. (Fig. 3) 3 To put the water reservoir back into the machine, tilt it slightly and insert the bottom of the water reservoir first (1). Then press home the top part of the water reservoir (2). 4 Move the lid release lever upwards and open the lid (Fig. 4). 5 Put the 1-cup pod holder q or the 2-cup pod holder qq in the machine without pod or pods. (Fig. 5) 6 Close the lid and lock the lever (Fig. 6).

Make sure the lid is closed properly and the lid lever is locked before you start flushing the machine. Put the plug in an earthed wall socket. Put a bowl (with a capacity of at least 1500ml) under the coffee spout to collect the water. (Fig. 7) D Note: Make sure the bowl is placed stably on the drip tray or the foot of the machine to prevent it from wobbling or toppling over during the flushing cycle. You can also use a square or rectangular container. Press the on/off button 3 (1) and then press the 1-cup button q and the 2-cup button qq briefly at the same time (2). (Fig. 8)

•• The boiler fills itself with water from the water reservoir. This takes some time

(approx. 90 to 150 seconds). During the flushing cycle, the machine produces more noise than during a regular brewing cycle.

4 Preparing the machine for use

Before you use the machine for the first time, clean the coffee spout, the cover of the coffee spout, the coffee collector, the pod holders and the water reservoir in the dishwasher or with hot water and some washing-up liquid. Now your Philips SENSEO® coffee machine is ready for use.

B Warning: If you only get a small quantity of coffee or no coffee at all out of the machine, you have not flushed the machine properly before first use. As a result, the boiler is not or only partly filled. Flush the machine properly (see chapter ‘Preparing the machine for use’) before you brew another cup of coffee. 1 Fill the water reservoir with cold water up to the MAX indication and put it back into the machine. (Fig. 3) B Warning: 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 SENSEO® coffee a number of times (up to 8 cups). This makes it unnecessary to fill the water reservoir each time you want to make a cup of coffee. 7

Press the on/off button 3. (Fig. 9)

•• The light in the on/off button flashes slowly while the water heats up. Heating up takes approx. 75 seconds. •• The coffee machine is ready for use when the light in the on/off button lights up continuously. D Note: If the water reservoir does not contain enough water to brew one cup of SENSEO® coffee, the light in the on/off button flashes rapidly and the 1-cup and 2-cup buttons cannot be operated. Move the lid release lever upwards and open the lid (Fig. 4). Place the appropriate pod holder in the machine. D Note: Make sure the pod holder is clean and the sieve in the centre is not clogged, e.g. with loose coffee grains. •• If you want to make one cup of SENSEO® coffee, use 1 coffee pod in combination with the 1-cup pod holder q and the 1-cup button q. (Fig. 10) •• 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 press the 2-cup button qq. (Fig. 5) Place the SENSEO® coffee pod or pods properly in the centre of the pod holder with the convex side pointing downwards.

Make sure the coffee in the pod or pods is evenly distributed and press the pod or pods lightly into the pod holder.

Use SENSEO® coffee pods especially designed for your SENSEO® coffee machine for a full and round taste. •• Place 1 SENSEO® coffee pod in the 1-cup pod holder q. (Fig. 11) •• Place 2 SENSEO® coffee pods in the 2-cup pod holder qq. (Fig. 12)

Never put normal ground coffee or use torn pods in the machine, as this causes it to become blocked. Close the lid and lock the lever (Fig. 6). Push down the lid lever until it snaps home with a click. B Warning: Make sure the lid is closed properly and the lid lever is locked before you start brewing coffee. To adjust the drip tray to the size of the cups you want to use, first detach the drip tray by sliding it slightly upwards (1) and then pulling it towards you (2) (Fig. 13). To reattach the drip tray, push it against the front of the machine at the required height (1). Make sure the top of the back plate of the drip tray is on one line with one set of guide lines. Then slide the drip tray slightly downwards (2) to make its hooks slip into the slots. Place one or two cups on the cup tray. E Tip: The cups you use should have a capacity of at least 150ml. Do not use cups that are too large, as they cause the coffee to get cold more quickly. HD7864 only: Select the desired coffee strength by moving the strength selection slide up or down. (Fig. 14) •• Select e for a small cup (60ml) of strong coffee. •• Select d for a normal cup (100ml) of coffee. Press the 1-cup button q if you want to brew 1 cup. Press the 2-cup button qq if you want to brew 2 cups. (Fig. 15)

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.

Never immerse the SENSEO® coffee machine in water.

Do not remove the water reservoir during a brewing cycle, as this causes the machine to draw in air. When this happens, the machine only partly fills the next cup. Lift the pod holder out of the machine and remove the coffee pod or pods. D Note: Be careful when you do this, for there may still be some hot water or coffee on the coffee pod or pods.

•• To make sure 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 intend to make another cup of SENSEO® coffee later, just leave the coffee machine switched on. The machine automatically switches itself off after 30 minutes.

•• The SENSEO® coffee machine starts brewing. The machine automatically supplies the optimal amount of water.

Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as petrol or acetone to clean the machine. B Warning: Never clean the machine by flushing it with the lid open. D Note: All detachable parts are dishwasher-proof. 1 Unplug the machine. 2 Clean 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. 3 Remove the coffee spout from the machine. (Fig. 16) 4 Remove the coffee spout cover from the coffee spout (Fig. 17). 5 Remove the decorative spout cover (Fig. 18). 6 Remove the coffee collector (Fig. 19). 7 Clean the coffee spout, the coffee spout cover, the decorative spout cover, the coffee collector, the pod holders, the cup tray and the drip tray in the dishwasher or in hot water with some washing-up liquid (Fig. 20). D Note: (Fig. 21) If you clean the cup tray by hand, always remove it from the machine and hold it in your hand, as it might prove sharp when it is handled incorrectly. Always handle it carefully.

After you have cleaned the pod holders, check if the sieve in the centre is clogged. If this is the case, unclog the sieve by rinsing the pod holders under a running tap. Use a washing-up brush to clean the sieve, if necessary. Clean the water reservoir in hot water, if necessary with some washing-up liquid. You can also clean the water reservoir in the dishwasher.  (Fig. 23) D Note: If you use a washing-up brush, be careful not to damage the valve in the bottom of the water tank.

You can remove the anti-splash rim of the water reservoir to clean the inside thoroughly. Do not use an object with sharp edges to clean the water inlet on the machine (Fig. 24). Rinse the parts with fresh water after cleaning and put them back into the machine. Clean the water distribution disc with a moist cloth (Fig. 25). 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 starts leaking.

If you have not used the coffee machine for three days, flush 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 q or the 2-cup pod holder qq in the machine without pod or pods. 3 Put a bowl (with a capacity of at least 1500ml) under the coffee spout to collect the water. (Fig. 7)

Make sure the bowl is placed stably on the drip tray or the foot of the machine to prevent it from wobbling or toppling over during the flushing cycle. You can also use a square or rectangular container. Press the on/off button 3 (1) and then press the 1-cup button q and the 2-cup button qq briefly at the same time (2). (Fig. 8) The machine fills itself quickly with water from the water reservoir. It starts to flush immediately and switches itself off after the flushing cycle.

7.0.1 When to descale

Descale the SENSEO® coffee machine frequently!

Preferably descale 4 to 6 times a year, but at least once every 3 months. Descaling takes about 1 hour. 7.0.2 Why to descale

Scale builds up inside the appliance 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.

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. Only citric acid-based descalers are suitable for descaling the SENSEO® machine. This type of descaler descales the appliance 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 (HD7012/HD7011/HD7006). Read the instructions on the package of the descaler. D Note: The special SENSEO® descaler can be bought in the shops that sell SENSEO® machines or on the internet at www.shop.philips.com/service.

7.0.4 Descaling procedure

Mix 50 grams of citric acid with 1 litre of water in a measuring jug. Stir until the powder is completely dissolved.

Fill the water reservoir with the descaler mixture. Then put the water reservoir back into the coffee machine. (Fig. 26) Press the on/off button 3. (Fig. 9) The machine is ready for use when the light in the on/off button lights up continuously. Place the 1-cup pod holder q with a used coffee pod in it in the coffee machine. Close the lid and lock the lever.

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 in the pod holder from getting clogged with scale residue.

Make sure the lid is closed properly and the lid lever is locked before you start descaling the machine. Put a bowl with a capacity of at least 1500ml under the spout to collect the descaling mixture. (Fig. 7) D Note: Make sure the bowl is placed stably on the drip tray or the foot of the machine to prevent it from wobbling or toppling over during descaling. You can also use a square or rectangular container. Press the 2-cup button qq and let the machine operate. Repeat this until the water reservoir is empty. (Fig. 27) B Warning: Never interrupt the descaling process! Repeat steps 1 to 6. Replace the used pod with another used pod to filter out the scale residue. D Note: To descale properly, you have to use 2 litres of descaling mixture.

Make sure the lid is closed properly and the lid lever is locked before you start descaling the machine. 8 Rinse the water reservoir with tap water. Fill the water reservoir up to the MAX indication with tap water and repeat steps 3 to 6.

Do not refill the water reservoir with used hot water or the used descaling mixture. Fill the water reservoir with fresh tap water up to the MAX indication again and repeat steps 3 to 6 once more. D Note: Always rinse the machine by letting it empty two full water reservoirs.

7.0.3 Use the correct descaling agent

You can also rinse the machine by letting it complete two flushing cycles as described in ‘Flushing’ in chapter ‘Cleaning’. Remove the used pad and clean the pod holder after descaling to prevent the sieve in the centre from getting clogged.

8 Frost-free storage

If the machine has already been used and therefore has been flushed with water, you may only use and store it in a frost-free place to prevent it from becoming damaged.

The light in the on/off button continues to flash slowly.

You have not yet flushed the machine. See chapter ‘Preparing the machine for use’.

The light in the on/off button continues to flash rapidly.

When I push one of the buttons, nothing happens.

Water leaks from the machine.

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.

Make sure that: the water reservoir is placed properly; 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 does not function properly. Make sure you have inserted the plug properly into the wall socket. Also make sure you have closed the lid and locked the lid lever. If the lid is not closed or the lid lever is not pushed until it locks with a click, the machine does not work. You may have filled the water reservoir beyond the MAX level. Never fill the water reservoir beyond this level. Perhaps the sieve in the centre of the pod holder is clogged. If it is, unclog the sieve by holding the pod holder under a running tap. If necessary, use a washing-up brush or a pin to unclog the sieve.A Check if the coffee pod is placed properly in the centre of the pod holder. Check if the sealing ring is not stuck under the edge of the water distribution disc (see drawing at the beginning of this user manual). It is perfectly normal for some drops of water to spill onto the worktop. This may happen, for instance, when you place or remove the water reservoir. Be careful when you remove used coffee pods, for there may still be some water on the pods. Perhaps you removed the water reservoir when the coffee machine was heating up. This may cause some water to leak out of the machine (this water normally ends up in the water reservoir). If none of the above solutions solve the problem, contact the Philips Consumer Care Centre in your country. 13

I cannot open the lid.

A vacuum may have temporarily formed under the lid.

Switch off the machine and wait 24 hours before pulling up the lever to open the lid. Do not use force when pulling up the lever to open the lid. When the lid opens, take out the pod holder and unclog the hole by holding the pod holder under a running tap. If necessary, use a washing-up brush or a pin to unclog the hole. 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. You can prevent the lid from getting locked by cleaning the pod holder regularly. Never put ground coffee (filterfine grind) in the pod holder. Prevent pods from tearing by placing them in the pod holder with the convex side pointing downwards. Check if the coffee in the pod is evenly distributed when you place the pod in the pod holder. Press the pods lightly into the pod holder. If problems continue to occur, contact the Philips Consumer Care Centre in your country. Perhaps the sieve in the centre of the pod holder is clogged. If it is, unclog the sieve by holding the pod holder under a running tap. If necessary, use a washing-up brush or a pin to unclog the sieve. Descale the machine (see chapter ‘Descaling’). You have not flushed the machine properly before first use. As a result, the boiler is not or only partly filled. Flush the machine properly (see chapter ‘Preparing the machine for use’) before you brew another cup of coffee.

The machine produces less coffee than before.

The SENSEO® coffee machine brews only a small quantity of coffee or no coffee at all when I use it for the first time.
