Introduction
With Douwe Egberts SENSEO\ coffee pods, you can enjoy a perfect cup of coffee at
any time of the day. Every cup is freshly brewed to give you that smooth and full taste.
Using more than 250 years of coffee expertise Douwe Egberts has roasted and
ground specially selected coffee beans that, when prepared using a special brewing
method co-developed with Philips, ensure a full, smooth taste and delicious foam
layer. This joint creation, known as the SENSEO\ coffee pod system, consists of the
Philips SENSEO\ coffee machine and specially developed Douwe Egberts SENSEO\
coffee pods. Only when used together will you be rewarded with a sensational cup of
SENSEO\ coffee with the delicious SENSEO\ foam layer.
To ensure a smooth and full coffee taste, you should keep the following things in
mind:
Fresh water
Use fresh water every day. If you have not used the coffee machine for three days,
you have to ush 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. The Douwe Egberts
SENSEO\ coffee pods will stay fresh longer if you store them in an airtight storage
container.
A clean machine
Clean and descale your 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,
ush the machine before you use it again (see section ‘Flushing’ in chapter ‘Cleaning’).

Important
Read these instructions for use carefully before using 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 qualied 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 will cause 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 at, stable surface outside the reach of children and
,
make sure children do not play with the machine.
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 using it for the rst time
,
(see chapter ‘Preparing the machine for use’). This will cause the boiler to ll
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 ushing cycle causes the boiler to be lled with water. After this the coffee
machine is ready for use.
Flush the machine in the following way:
1 Remove the water reservoir. (Fig. 2)
2 Fill the water reservoir with cold water up to the MAX indication and put it
back onto the machine. (Fig. 3)
3 Release the lid by moving the lever upwards. (Fig. 4)
4 Open the lid. (Fig. 5)
5 Put the 1-cup pod holder q or the 2-cup pod holder qq in the machine
without pod(s). (Fig. 6)
6 Close the lid and lock the lever. (Fig. 7)
Note: Make sure the lever is properly locked by pushing it down until it snaps home with
a click.
Note: Never ush the machine with the lid open. The lid must be properly locked.
7 Put the plug in an earthed wall socket.
8 Put a bowl (with a capacity of at least 1500 ml) under the spout openings to
collect the water. (Fig. 8)
9 Press the on/off button 3. (Fig. 9)
Type HD7824 only: after pressing the on/off button, the light rings around the 1-cup
button q and the 2-cup button qq burn continuously.
10 Press the 1-cup button q and the 2-cup button qq briey at the same time.
(Fig. 10)
The boiler lls itself with water from the water reservoir. This may take some
time (approx. 90 to 150 seconds). The machine switches off automatically when
the ushing cycle ends. During the ushing cycle the machine produces more noise
than during a regular brewing cycle.
Never interrupt the ushing cycle halfway. If you do, the boiler will not ll itself
properly.
Note: Before you use the machine for the rst time, clean the coffee spout, the coffee
collector and the pod holders with hot water and some washing-up liquid or in the
dishwasher. Clean the water reservoir thoroughly in hot water, if necessary with some
washing-up liquid.
Now your Philips SENSEO\ coffee machine is ready for use.
Brewing coffee
1 Fill 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.
q MIN: minimum amount of water required to brew 1 cup of SENSEO\ coffee.
-
qq MIN: minimum amount of water required to brew 2 cups of SENSEO\
coffee.
A full reservoir allows you to make up to 8 cups of SENSEO\ coffee. This makes
-
it unnecessary to ll the water reser voir each time you want to make a cup of
coffee.
2 Press the on/off button 3. (Fig. 11)
The indicator light blinks slowly while the water is heating up. Heating up takes
approx. 75 seconds.
The coffee machine is ready for use when the indicator light burns
,
continuously. If the indicator light blinks rapidly, the water reservoir does not
contain enough water for brewing one cup of coffee.
Type HD7824 only: the light rings around the 1-cup button q and the 2-cup
,
button qq also go on when the machine is ready for use. If there is not
enough water for brewing two cups of coffee, the light ring around the 2-cup
button qq button will not go on and this button cannot be operated.
3 Release the lid by moving the lever upwards. (Fig. 4)
4 Open the lid.
5 Place 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 1-cup pod holder q and the 1- cup button q. (Fig. 12)
If you want to make two cups of SENSEO\ coffee, use 2 coffee pods in
,
combination with the deeper 2-cup pod holder qq and the 2-cup button
qq. (Fig. 13)
6 Place 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.
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
will cause it to become blocked.
Place 1 SENSEO\ coffee pod in the 1-cup pod holder q. (Fig. 14)
,
Place 2 SENSEO\ coffee pods in the 2-cup pod holder qq. (Fig. 15)
,
7 Close the lid and lock the lever. (Fig. 7)
Always check if the lid is properly locked. The lever must be pushed down until it
snaps home with a click.
Never start brewing with the lid open. The lid must be properly closed.
8 Place one cup or two cups under the spout openings. You can adjust the height
of the coffee spout by sliding it upwards or downwards. (Fig. 16)
The cups you use should have a capacity of at least 150 ml. Do not use cups that are
too large, as they will cause the coffee to get cold more quickly.
9 Press the button indicating the number of cups of SENSEO\ coffee you want
to brew. (Fig. 17)
Press the 1-cup button q for one cup.
Press the 2-cup button qq for two cups.
