Introduction
Congratulations on
from the support that Philips offers, register your product at
www.philips.com/welcome. 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 SENSEO, 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.
This new SENSEO appliance (HD6554, HD6555, HD6556) offers you more
choice as it has extra coffee recipe settings. Next to the long, smooth
SENSEO coffee you can choose as well to make a strong, smaller SENSEO
coffee by simply pressing the button twice. The convenient SENSEO pods
and Philips' unique 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:
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
(see section ‘Flushing’ in chapter ‘Cleaning’).
Fresh coffee pods
Use the SENSEO® coffee pods that have been specially developed for your
SENSEO® coffee machine for a full, round taste. SENSEO® coffee pods stay
fresh longer when you store them in a storage container.
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’). For more information on
why it is important to descale, how to descale or which descaler to use, visit

Caution
-
Always return the machine to a service center

yourself, otherwise your warranty 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.

water into the water reservoir.
- Never flush the machine or let it brew coffee
