Note: Make sure the pod holder is clean and the sieve in the centre is not
clogged, e.g. with
loose coffee grounds.
Note: Make sure the coffee in the pod(s) is evenly distributed and press
the pod(s) lightly
into the pod holder.
3 Close the lid and lock the lever (Fig. 7).
-
Always make sure the lid is properly locked. Push down the lever
until it snaps home with a click.

Warning: Never start brewing with the lid open. The lid must be

properly closed.

4 Place one cup or two cups under the spout openings. 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.
5 Press the button that indicates the number of cups of SENSEO® coffee
you want to brew.
- Press the 1-cup button once for one large mild cup of coffee (Fig. 13).
Tip: For the Intensity select machines. 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 (Fig. 14).
Tip: For the Intensity select machines. 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.

6 After 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).
7 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 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

Warning: Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.

Warning: Never clean the appliance by flushing it with the lid open.

Cleaning the coffee machine

1
Always unplug the machine before you clean it.
2 Clean the outside of the machine with a moist cloth.
3 Remove the coffee spout (Fig. 15).
-
You can disassemble the coffee spout for more thorough cleaning
(Fig. 16).
4 Clean the coffee spout, the pod holders, the drip tray, the cup tray and
the water reservoir in hot water, if necessary with some washing-up
liquid, or in the dishwasher (Fig. 17).
5 To prevent clogging, clean the pod holders regularly with hot water,
some washing-up liquid and a washing-up 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
(Fig. 18).
Note: Use the pod holder in the machine during descaling to clean it
even more
effectively.
6 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
starts to leak (Fig. 19).

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:
1 Fill the water reservoir with clean cold water up to the MAX indication
and put it back onto the machine (Fig. 3).
2 Put the 1-cup pod holder or the 2-cup pod holder in the machine
without pod(s) (Fig. 6).
3 Put a bowl (with a capacity of at least 1500ml) under the coffee spout to
collect the water (Fig. 8).
4 Press 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
(Fig. 20).

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.

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. We advise you to use the special SENSEO® Descaler
(HD7012/HD7011). Read the instruction leaflet in the package. For more
information on why it is important to descale, how to descale or which
descaler to use, visit our website at www.philips.com/descale-senseo.

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.
Note: The procedure described below only applies to the special SENSEO®
Descaler.
1
Press the on/off button to switch on the machine.
2 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.
3 Mix 50 grams of descaler powder with 1 liter of water in a measuring jug.
Stir until the powder is completely dissolved.
Note: You have to use 2 liters of descaling mixture: one liter for each
descaling cycle.
4
Fill the water reservoir up to the MAX indication with the descaler
mixture.
Note: Not all SENSEO® machine types have a water reservoir with a
capacity of 1
liter. If you have a SENSEO® machine with a smaller water
reservoir, repeat steps 4 to 7 with the remainder of the mixture without
filling the water reservoir up to the MAX indication.
5 Put the water reservoir back into the coffee machine. The machine is
ready for use when the indicator light lights up continuously.
6 Put a bowl with a capacity of at least 1500ml under the spout to collect
the descaling mixture.
7 Press 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 1 liter descaling mixture completely
during
the descaling cycle.

Warning: Never interrupt the descaling cycle.

8 Exchange 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.
9 Repeat 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 washing-up brush to prevent the sieve in the center
from getting clogged.
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.
