the coee button
twice, I do not get a
stronger coee.
I cannot open the
lid.
You did not ush the
machine before rst
use.
The machine is heating
up.
There is not enough
water in the water
reservoir
The oat in the water
reservoir may be stuck.
You need to descale
the machine.
Do not use cups that
are too large.
You have pressed the
coee button twice too
fast or you have waited

placing a coee pod in the pod
holder.
Pressing the coee button
twice to get a stronger coee
is possible within a time frame
of 3 seconds. The LED light
on the machine will shine less
bright if the programming was
successful.
Switch o the coee machine.
Pull up the lever and wait
24 hours before you open the
lid. You may need to use some
force. Always make sure the
pod holders are clean and the
sieve is not clogged to prevent
a vacuum.

HD6556: Use intensity
select.
Perhaps you need a
dierent avor.
Perhaps you pressed
the 1-cup or 2-cup
button twice.
You have not closed
the lid properly.
You overlled the water
reservoir.
The sieve in the center
of the pod holder may
be clogged.
The sealing ring may be
stuck under the edge of
the distribution disk.
Water drops on the
worktop may be the
result of placing the
water reservoir or
removing used coee
pods.
The machine has been
stored in a room that
was not frost-free.
If the sieve is clogged, use a
washing-up brush to unclog
the sieve. If you cannot unclog
it properly with the washing-up
brush, put the pod holder in the
machine and descale the machine
according to the instructions.
This machine has Intensity
Select. If you press the button
twice, you get a smaller cup of
stronger coee.
If this is the case, remove the
used pod.

on top of each other, make sure
that the convex sides of both
pods point downwards and press
the pods lightly into the pod
holder. Make sure that the coee
in the pod is distributed evenly.
Place a new pod in the pod holder
to brew a fresh cup of coee.
If you prefer a more robust
avor, SENSEO® coee pods
with a stronger blend are
available.

brew one or two small cups of
stronger coee.
If you prefer a milder avor,
SENSEO® coee pods with a
milder blend are available.
This machine has Intensity
Select. If you press the button
twice, you get a smaller cup of
stronger coee.
Close the lid properly and lock
the lever.
Do not ll the water reservoir
beyond the MAX level.
Check the pod holder. If the
sieve is clogged, use a washingup brush to unclog the sieve.
If you cannot clean it properly
with the washing-up brush, put
the pod holder in the machine
and descale the machine
according to the instructions.
Check if the sealing ring is
stuck under the edge of the
distribution disk. If it is, pull it
out from under the distribution
disk carefully.
Check if the water drops on
the worktop are not the result
of placing or removing the
water reservoir or removing
used coee pods. Make sure
that you do not remove the
water reservoir when the coee
machine is heating up. This may
cause water that normally ends
up in the water reservoir to leak
out of the machine.
In all other cases, contact the
Philips Consumer Care Center
in your country.
Contact the Philips Consumer
Care. Center in your country.
Flush before rst use
Flush the machine before rst use. After the ushing cycle (which only takes

another special coee pod in the 2-cup pod holder and press the 1-cup button.

2x descaling, 2x rinsing
Descale the machine at least every 3 months. Use liquid Senseo descaler only.
The descaling procedure consists of two descaling cycles and two ushing cycles.
Each cycle lasts 5 minutes. Fill a jug with 1 liter of water, pour one half of the
bottle in the jug and then pour the descaling mixture in the water reservoir. Press
the 2-cup button several times until all descaling mixture is used up. You have to
use 1 jug of descaling mixture for each descaling cycle. Use the 1-cup pod holder
with a used pod or the thin descaling lter during the rst descaling cycle and use
the 2-cup pod holder with a used pod or the thick descaling lter during the
second descaling cycle. Fill the water reservoir with fresh water and press the
2-cup button several times until the water reservoir is empty. Repeat this for the
second ushing cycle. Do not interrupt the descaling cycles and do not switch o
the machine before you have performed the two ushing cycles. Throw used
pods or descaling lters away after use. For more information on why it is
important to descale, when to descale and how to descale or which descaler to
