SENSEO® coffee system
Make your coffee moments truly special with SENSEO®. This unique system
combines the easy-to-use Philips SENSEO® coffee machine with the
specially developed SENSEO® coffee pods, giving you a full, smooth coffee
with a delicious foam layer
This Philips SENSEO® coffee machine features the new SENSEO® coffee
boost technology that gets the most out of your coffee pod. A new finer
distribution of water (from 5 to 45 aroma nozzles) which ensures the hot
water is optimally spread across you entire SENSEO® coffee pad, touching
all 50 coffee beans at once. Therefore each grain of ground coffee will
release all the aromas and flavors, delivering a richer, fuller taste.
To ensure a smooth and full coffee taste, you should keep the following
things 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. To flush the machine, fill the water reservoir with clean cold water,
place a bowl (with a capacity of at least 1500 ml) or 2 cups under the coffee
spout and press the 2-cup button a few times to brew hot water until the
water reservoir is empty.
Fresh coffee pods
Use the SENSEO® coffee pods that have been specially developed for your
SENSEO® coffee machine for a full, round taste.
Clean machine
Clean and descale the Philips SENSEO® coffee machine regularly. For more
information on why it is important to descale, when to descale and how
to descale or which descaler to use, visit our website at www.philips.com/

Important
Read this user manual carefully before you use the machine and save it for
future reference.
-
Never immerse the machine in water or any other liquid.
Warning
- Connect the machine to an earthed wall
socket.
- Check if the voltage indicated on the bottom
of the machine corresponds to the local
mains voltage before you connect the
machine.
- This machine can be used by children
aged from 8 years and above and persons
with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of
the machine in a safe way and understand
the hazards involved. Children shall not
play with the machine. Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be made by children
unless they are 8 years and above and
supervised.
- Keep the machine and its cord out of the
reach of children aged less than 8 years.
- Do not use the machine if the plug, the mains
cord or the machine itself is damaged.
- If the mains cord is damaged, you must
have it replaced by Philips, a service center
authorized by Philips or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Caution
- Always return the machine to a service centre
authorised by Philips for examination or
repair. Do not attempt to repair the machine
yourself, otherwise your guarantee becomes
invalid.
- After unpacking the machine, never put your
SENSEO® machine on its side. Always keep it
in upright position, also during transport.
- Never put normal ground coffee or use torn
pods in the machine, as this causes it to
become blocked.
- Do not use the machine in combination with
a transformer, as this could cause hazardous
situations.
- Always put the machine on a flat and stable
surface.
- Do not place the appliance on a hotplate,
directly next to a hot oven, heater or similar
source of heat.
- Descale the machine at least every 3 months.
Not doing so may cause the machine to stop
working properly. In this case, repair is not
covered under your warranty.
- Never let the machine operate unattended.
- Do not use the machine at altitudes higher
than 2200 metres above sea level.
- Do not use the machine at a temperature
below 0°C. Water left in the machine may
freeze and cause damage.
- Never pour any other liquid than clean cold
water into the water reservoir.
- Never flush the machine or let it brew coffee
when the spout is not in place.
- Flush the coffee machine with fresh water
before you use it for the first time
(see chapter 'First use'). This causes the
system to fill with water, which is essential
for the machine to work properly.
- Do not use the SENSEO® machine in
combination with water softeners based on
sodium exchange.
- Philips strongly advises you to descale
this SENSEO® regularly. If the machine is
not descaled in time and according to the
procedure described in chapter 'Descaling',
this may lead to technical failures.
- Never interrupt the descaling process.
- 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 coffee machine.
- After unpacking the machine, never put the
machine on its side. Always keep it in upright
position, also during transport.
