Introduction
With SENSEO\, you can enjoy a perfect cup of coffee with a delicious crema layer whenever you feel like it. Each cup is freshly brewed, so you’re always sure of a pure and round taste. SENSEO\ combines a unique brewing method from Philips with convenient coffee pods from Douwe Egberts, available in different blends
of fine roast and ground coffee.Together they make sure you only get the very best in flavour and aroma from the
coffee.
The Douwe Egberts coffee in convenient SENSEO\
coffee pods and Philips’ unique new SENSEO\
brewing system are perfectly matched to ensure that the best taste and aroma are extracted from the coffee.
To optimise the taste of the coffee, keep the following
aspects in mind:
Fresh water
Use fresh water every day. If you have not used the coffee
machine for three days, you have to flush it with fresh
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 by Douwe Egberts for your SENSEO\ coffee machine for a full, round taste. Douwe Egberts SENSEO\ coffee pods stay fresh longer if you close the package with the
A clean machine
Clean and descale the Philips 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’).

Important
Read these instructions for use carefully before you use the machine and save them for future reference.
,Check if the voltage indicated on the bottom of the machine corresponds to the local mains voltage before you connect the machine.
,If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Philips, a service centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
,To prevent unexpected contact with hot water, always make sure the lid of the SENSEO\ machine is properly locked before you start using the machine.
,Never put normal ground coffee or use torn pods in the SENSEO\ machine, as this causes it to become blocked.
,Do not use the machine in combination with a transformer, as this could cause hazardous situations.
,Put the machine on a flat, stable surface. Never let the machine operate unattended.
,Do not use the machine at altitudes higher than 2200 metres above sea level.
,The machine does not work at temperatures below 10°C.
,Flush the coffee machine with fresh water before you use it for the first time (see chapter ‘Preparing the machine for use’).This causes the boiler to fill with water, which is essential for the machine to work properly.

Preparing the machine for use
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:
1Remove the water reservoir (Fig. 2).
2Fill the water reservoir with cold water up to
the MAX indication and put it back onto the machine. (Fig. 3)
3Move the lever upwards to release the lid (Fig. 4).
4Open the lid (Fig. 5).
5Put the
6Close the lid and lock the lever (Fig. 7).
Note: Make sure you lock the lever properly. Push it down until it snaps home with a click.
Note: Never flush the machine with the lid open.The lid must be properly locked.
7Put the plug in an earthed wall socket.
8Put a bowl (with a capacity of at least 1500ml) under the coffee spout to collect the water. (Fig. 8)
9Press the on/off button I and subsequently press the
,The boiler fills itself with water from the water reservoir.This takes some time (approx. 90 to 150 seconds).The machine switches off automatically when the flushing cycle ends. During the flushing cycle, the machine produces more noise than during a regular brewing cycle.
Note: Before you use the machine for the first time, clean the coffee spout and the pod holders with hot water and some
Now your Philips SENSEO\ coffee machine is ready for use.
Brewing coffee
1Fill the water reservoir with cold water up to
the MAX indication and put it back onto the machine. (Fig. 3)
Never pour milk, coffee, hot water or carbonated water into the water reservoir.
-° MIN: minimum amount of water required to brew 1 cup of SENSEO\ coffee.
-°° 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
5 cups (HD7810, HD7812) or up to 10 cups
(HD7811).This makes it unnecessary to fill the water reservoir each time you want to make a cup of coffee.
2Press the on/off button I. (Fig. 10)
The indicator light blinks while the water is heating up.
Heating up takes approx. 90 seconds.
,The coffee machine is ready for use when the indicator light burns continuously.
3Move the lever upwards to release the lid (Fig. 11).
4Open the lid.
5Place 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
,If you want to make two cups of SENSEO\ coffee, use 2 coffee pods in combination with the deeper
6Place 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.
,Place 1 SENSEO\ coffee pod in the
,Place 2 SENSEO\ coffee pods in the
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.
7Close the lid and lock the lever (Fig. 7).
Always make sure the lid is properly locked. Push the lever down until it snaps home with a click.
Never start brewing with the lid open.The lid must be properly closed.
8Place one cup or two cups under the spout openings (Fig. 16).
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.
9Press the button that indicates the number of cups of SENSEO\ coffee you want to brew. (Fig. 17)
-° for one cup
-°° 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 I. If you switch the machine back on after you have 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 will only be partly filled.
Note: 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 not completely filled. Flush the machine properly (see chapter ‘Preparing the machine for use’) before you brew another cup of coffee.
10After 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).
Tips
,Rinse the pod holders and the coffee spout regularly to make sure that the coffee always tastes optimally.
,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 1 hour. (Fig. 18)
Cleaning
Never immerse the SENSEO\ coffee machine in water.
Never clean the machine by flushing it with the lid open.
1Always unplug the machine before you clean it.
2Clean the outside of the machine with a moist cloth.
3Remove the coffee spout (Fig. 19).
,You can disassemble the coffee spout for more thorough cleaning. (Fig. 20)
