Senseo® coffee system
Make your coffee moments truly special with Senseo®. This unique system combines the easy-to-use Philips Senseo® coffee machine with the specially developed Senseo® coffee pods, giving you a full, smooth coffee with a delicious foam layer. The 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. Discover all Senseo® coffee blends at www.senseo.com. To ensure a smooth and full coffee taste, you should keep the following things in mind: Senseo® has a vast variety of different coffee blends and flavors. Each blend has its own distinctive taste to fit your personal preference. Philips tests its coffee machines during the development process for more than 10.000 cups of coffee. This ensures high quality and durability.
Clean cold water
Use clean cold water every day. If you have not used the machine for one day, you have to flush it with clean cold water before you use it again. To flush the machine, fill the water reservoir with clean cold water, place a bowl or 2 cups under the spout and press the 2-cup button a few times to brew hot water until the water reservoir is empty.
Fresh coffee pods
Use the Senseo® coffee pods that have been specially developed for your SENSEO® coffee machine for a full, round taste.
A clean machine
Clean and descale the Philips Senseo® coffee machine regularly. 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. For more information on why it is important to descale, how to descale or which descaler to use, visit our website at www.philips.com/descale-senseo.

– 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 machine on a hotplate or directly next to a hot oven, heater or similar source of heat.

Troubleshooting
This chapter summarizes the most common problems you could encounter with the machine. If you are unable to solve the problem with the information below, visit www.philips.com/support for a list of frequently asked questions or contact the Consumer Care Center in your country.
Troubleshooting
Problem : Solution
The CALC light flashes. : You have pressed the 1-cup button and the 2-cup button at the same time. This started the descaling cycle. If you did not intend to start the descaling cycle, simply press the on/off button to switch off the machine. If you did intend to start the descaling cycle, do not interrupt this cycle but let the machine operate until the water reservoir is empty.
The CALC light lights up continuously after descaling. : The descaling procedure has not been completed. Perform the descaling procedure. Do not switch off the machine during descaling.
Water continued to flow from the spout when I used the machine for the first time. : The machine was performing the flushing cycle. You have to place a bowl of 1.5 liters under the spout.
The light ring around the on/off button continues to flash rapidly. : Make sure that there is enough water in the water reservoir and that the water reservoir is placed properly.
Problem : Solution
: There is not enough water in the water reservoir (i.e. above the MIN level if you want to brew 1 cup).
: Check if the float in the water reservoir is stuck. Empty the water reservoir and shake it a few times to release the float. Clean the water reservoir with hot water and some washing-up liquid or in the dishwasher.
I cannot open the lid. : A temporary vacuum has developed under the lid. Switch off the coffee 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 vacuum.
The coffee machine produces less coffee than before. : For Intensity Select models only: You may have pressed the 1-cup or 2-cup button twice. If you do so, the machine brews a short strong coffee.
: Check the pod holder. If the sieve is clogged, use a washing-up 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
: Descale the machine
Water leaks from the machine. : Make sure that you do not overfill the water reservoir. Check that you place the water reservoir on the machine correctly.
: Check the pod holder. If the sieve is clogged, use a washing-up 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
: Make sure that the coffee pod has been put properly in the center of the pod holder.
: In all other cases, contact the Philips Consumer Care Center in your country.
I cannot close the lid properly. : Check if a used coffee pod is sticking to the water distribution disk. If this is the case, remove the used pod.
: Check if you used the correct pod holder. Use 2 pods in combination with the deeper 2-cup pod holder.
The machine makes a different sound (HD6567, HD6566, HD6564 only). : This machine has Duo Select and the different sound is caused by a new way of brewing. You can use the Duo Select switch to switch between your familiar smooth Senseo® coffee and a fuller Senseo® coffee. This Duo Select switch uses different water pressures to brew coffee, hence the difference in sound.
Problem : Solution
The Senseo® coffee is not strong enough. : For Intensity Select models only: If you want stronger coffee, press the 1-cup or 2-cup button twice to brew a short strong coffee.
: Make sure that you place the coffee pod(s) properly in the center of the pod holder and ensure the coffee in the pod is evenly distributed.
: If you prefer a more robust flavor, SENSEO® coffee pods with a stronger blend are available.
The Senseo® coffee is too strong. : For Intensity Select models only: You may have pressed the 1-cup or 2-cup button twice. If you do so, the machine brews a short strong coffee.
: If you prefer a milder flavor, SENSEO® coffee pods with a milder blend are available.
The coffee is not hot enough. : Preheat your cup by brewing one cup without a coffee pod.
: Descale the machine.
The coffee appears to have a different taste. : If your machine has a Duo Select switch, turn the Duo Select switch left for the familiar smooth taste or turn the switch right for a fuller taste.
: You have not placed the pod correctly. Place the pod in the center of the pod holder with the convex side pointing downwards. Make sure that the coffee in the pod is distributed evenly and press the pod lightly into the pod holder.
Problem : Solution
The machine has been stored in a room that was not frost-free. : Contact the Philips Consumer Care Center in your country.
Tips and instructions
Flush the machine before first use and if the machine has not been used for one day. After the flushing cycle (which only takes approx. 2 minutes), the machine is ready for brewing Senseo® coffee.
– While the machine is heating up, you can select the number of cups you want to brew. The machine brews the cup or cups immediately after it has heated up.
– You can stop the brewing cycle at any time by pressing the same button (1-cup button or 2-cup button) that you pressed to start brewing coffee.
2x descaling, 2x rinsing
Descale the machine when the CALC light goes on. Use Senseo descaler only. The descaling procedure consists of two descaling cycles and two flushing cycles. Use a used pod in the 1-cup pod holder during the first descaling cycle and use another used pod in the 2-cup pod holder in the second descaling cycle. Do not interrupt the descaling cycle and do not switch off the machine before you have performed the two flushing cycles. The CALC light continues flash until the descaling procedure is completed correctly. For more information on why it is important to descale, when to descale and how to descale or which descaler to use, visit our website at www.philips.com/descale-senseo.
