4Press the on/off button 3 (1) and subsequently press buttons the 1-

cup button q and the 2-cup button qq briefly at the same time (2).

The machine fills itself with water from the water reservoir. While

this happens, water comes out of the spout. When the flushing cycle is finished, the machine switches itself off. During the flushing cycle, the

machine produces more noise than during a regular brewing cycle.

Descaling

Regular descaling will prolong the life of the coffee machine and will guarantee optimal brewing results for a long time. If the machine is used twice a day on average, it must be descaled once every 3 months.

1Fill the water reservoir up to the MAX indication with descaler and water according to the instructions on the package of the descaler.

Then put the water reservoir back into the coffee machine.

Use a liquid descaler based on citric acid.

2Press the on/off button 3.

The machine is ready for use when the indicator light burns continuously.

3Place the 1-cup pod holder q in the coffee machine, preferably with

a used coffee pod in it. Close the lid and make sure it is properly locked.

We advise you to put a used coffee pod in the pod holder when you

descale the machine.This pod will serve as a ‘filter’ to prevent the sieve in

the pod holder from getting clogged with scale residues.

4Put a bowl with a capacity of at least 1500 ml under the spout openings to collect the mixture of descaler and water.

5Press the 2-cup button qq and let the machine operate. Repeat this until the water reservoir is empty.

Never descale the SENSEO® coffee machine with the lid open. Make sure the lid is properly locked.

6Repeat steps 1 to 5 with a new mixture of descaler and water.

7Empty the water reservoir to remove the mixture of descaler and water.

8Rinse the machine at least 3 times by repeating steps 1 to 5, now using fresh water.
