Introduction
With this SENSEO® coffee machine, you can enjoy a perfect cup
of coffee topped with a rich frothy coffee layer whenever you feel
like it. Each cup is freshly brewed, so you're always sure of a pure
and round taste. This SENSEO® coffee machine combines a
unique brewing method 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
flavor and aroma from the coffee.
This new SENSEO machine offers you more choice as it has extra
strength select settings. Next to the long, smooth SENSEO coffee,
you can also choose to brew a short strong SENSEO coffee by
simply pressing the button twice. The convenient SENSEO pods
and the unique SENSEO® brewing system are perfectly matched
to ensure that the best taste and aroma are extracted from the
coffee. To optimize 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 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 our
website.

First use
Unpacking
1 Remove the machine from the box.
Note: Make sure you store the 2-cup pod holder in a safe
place. It is an essential part of the machine.
Flushing the machine to fill the system
Warning: You cannot brew coffee if you have not flushed the
SENSEO® coffee machine first!
The flushing cycle causes the system to fill 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 clean cold water up to the MAX
indication and put it back onto the machine (Fig. 3).
3 Move the lever upwards to release the lid (Fig. 4).
4 Open the lid (Fig. 5).
5 Put the 1-cup pod holder or the 2-cup pod holder in the
machine without pod(s) (Fig. 6).
6 Close the lid and lock the lever (Fig. 7).
Note: Make sure you lock the lever properly. Push it down until
it snaps home with a click.
Note: Never flush the machine with the lid open. The lid must
be properly locked.
7 Put the plug in a grounded electrical outlet.
8 Put a bowl with a capacity of at least at least 1.6 qt (1.5 liters)
under the coffee outflow unit to collect the water (Fig. 8).
9 Press the on/off button and subsequently press the 1-cup
button and the 2-cup button briefly at the same time (Fig. 9).
-
The system fills itself with water from the water reservoir.
This takes some time (approx. 90 to 150 seconds). The
machine switches off automatically when the flushing cycle
ends. During the flushing cycle, the machine produces more
noise than during a regular brewing cycle.
Note: Before you use the machine for the first time, clean the
coffee outflow unit 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 (see chapter 'Cleaning the machine').
Now your SENSEO® coffee machine is ready for use.

Filling the water reservoir
1 Fill the water reservoir with clean cold water up to the MAX
indication and put it back onto the machine (Fig. 3).
Warning: Never pour any other liquid than clean cold water
into the water reservoir.
- MIN: minimum amount of water required to brew 1 cup of
SENSEO® coffee.
- A full reservoir allows you to make SENSEO® coffee a number
of times. This makes it unnecessary to fill the water reservoir
each time you want to make a cup of coffee.
Turning on the machine
1 Press the on/off button (Fig. 10).
For one small cup of strong short coffee,
double tap the 1-cup button.
For two cups of strong short coffee, double
tap the 2-cup button.
