Philips hd78106 Manuel D’Utilisation

Clean the coffee spout, the pod holders and the

drip tray in hot water, if necessary with some

washing-up liquid, or in the dishwasher (Fig. 21).

Hold the cup tray in your hand while you clean it

with hot water, if necessary with some washing-up

liquid (Fig. 22).

You can also clean the cup tray in the dishwasher.
To clean the cup tray, always remove it from the

machine, as it might prove sharp when it is handled

incorrectly. Always handle it carefully.

Clean the pod holders in hot water, if necessary

with some washing-up liquid, or in the

dishwasher. (Fig. 23)

Make sure the sieve in the centre of the pod holder is not

clogged. If the sieve is clogged, unclog it by rinsing the pod

holder under a running tap. If necessary, use a washing-up

brush or a pin to unclog the sieve.

Clean the water reservoir in hot water, if necessary

with some washing-up liquid. (Fig. 24)

Note: You can remove the cover of the water reservoir

to clean the inside thoroughly.
Note: If you use a washing-up brush, be careful not to

damage the valve in the bottom of the water reservoir.

Rinse the parts with fresh water after cleaning and

put them back into the machine.

Clean the water distribution disc with a moist

cloth (Fig. 25).

Be careful when you do this. Make sure that the rubber

sealing ring does not get stuck under the edge of the

water distribution disc. If it does, the coffee machine starts

to leak!

Flushing

If you have not used the coffee machine for three days,

flush it with fresh water before you use it again.

Flush the machine in the following way:

Fill the water reservoir with cold water up to

the MAX indication and put it back onto the

machine. (Fig. 3)

Put the 1-cup pod holder ° or the 2-cup pod

holder °° in the machine without pod(s). (Fig. 6)

Put a bowl (with a capacity of at least 1500ml)

under the coffee spout to collect the water. (Fig. 8)

Press the on/off button I and subsequently press

the 1-cup button ° and the 2-cup button °°

briefly at the same time. (Fig. 9)

The machine fills itself with water from the water

reservoir. This takes some time and you will probably not

notice that this happens. After a while, the machine starts

to flush and switches itself off after the flushing cycle.

Descaling

Regular descaling prolongs the life of the coffee machine

and guarantees optimal brewing results for a long time.

If you use the machine twice a day on average, you must

descale it once every 3 months.

Fill the water reservoir up to the MAX

indication

with descaler and water according to the

instructions on the package of the descaler. Then

put the water reservoir back onto the coffee

machine. (Fig. 3)

Use a descaler based on citric acid.

Press on/off button I. (Fig. 10)

The machine is ready for use when the indicator light

burns continuously.

Place the 1-cup pod holder ° in the coffee

machine, preferably with a used coffee pod in it.

Close the lid and make sure it is properly locked.

We advise you to put a used coffee pod in the pod

holder when you descale the machine. This pod serves

as a ‘filter’ to prevent the sieve in the pod holder from

getting clogged with scale residues.

Put a bowl with a capacity of at least 1500ml under

the coffee spout to collect the mixture of descaler

and water. (Fig. 8)

Press the 2-cup button °° and let the machine

operate. Repeat this until the water reservoir is

empty. (Fig. 26)

Never descale the SENSEO

coffee machine with the

lid open. Make sure the lid is properly locked.

Repeat steps 1 to 5 with a new mixture of descaler

and water.

Rinse the water reservoir with fresh water to

remove descaler residues.

Flush the machine with fresh water at least 3 times

by repeating steps 1 to 5.

Do not refill the water reservoir with used hot

water.

Clean the pod holder after descaling to prevent the

sieve in the centre from getting clogged.
Frost-free storage

If the coffee machine has already been used and

therefore has been flushed with water, it may only be

used and stored in a frost-free place to prevent it from

becoming damaged.

Replacement

You can order all removable parts from your Philips

dealer or a Philips service centre.

Environment
Do not throw away the machine with the normal

household waste at the end of its life, but hand it in

at an official collection point for recycling. By doing

this, you help to preserve the environment (Fig. 27).

The purchase of the Philips SENSEO

coffee machine

Egberts or Philips under any of their patents nor does it

confer upon the purchaser a licence under these patents.

Troubleshooting

If you have a problem, you may find the solution in the

table below. If the table does not provide the solution to

your problem or if you have a question, see the chapter

‘Guarantee & service’.

Problem

Solution

The indicator

light continues

to blink slowly.

You have not yet flushed the coffee

machine (see chapter ‘Preparing the

machine for use’.

You have used the SENSEO\ coffee

machine at an altitude higher than

2200 metres above sea level. This

has caused the water in the machine

to start boiling before it has

reached the required temperature.

This prevents the machine from

functioning properly. Switch off the

machine and no longer use it at

altitudes higher than 2200 metres

above sea level.

The SENSEO

coffee machine

does not

produce coffee

when it is

switched on for

the first time.

You have not yet flushed the coffee

machine. When you use the machine

for the first time, you have to flush it

before you can start brewing coffee

(see chapter ‘Preparing the machine

for use’).

The indicator

light continues

to blink rapidly.

Make sure that:

Problem

Solution

you have placed the water

reservoir properly;

there is enough water in the water

reservoir (i.e. above the ° MIN

level if you want to brew 1 cup);

the ambient temperature is not

lower than 10°C. If it is, the machine

does not function properly.

Water leaks

from the coffee

machine.

Make sure that:

you have closed the lid properly

(the lever must be properly locked);

you have not filled the water
reservoir beyond the

MAX

level;

the sieve in the centre of the pod

holder is not clogged. If the sieve

is clogged, unclog it by rinsing the

pod holder under a running tap. If

necessary, use a washing-up brush

or a pin to unclog the sieve;

you have put the coffee

pod properly in the centre of the

pod holder;

the sealing ring is not stuck under

the edge of the water distribution

disc;

the water drops on the worktop are

not the result of placing or removing

the water reservoir or removing used

coffee pods;

you do not remove the water

reservoir when the coffee 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

Customer Care Centre in your

country.

The lid cannot

be opened.

A vacuum may have temporarily

formed under the lid.

Switch off the machine. Pull the

lever up as far as it goes and wait 24

hours before you open the lid. You

may need to use quite some force.

Make sure that the sieve in

the centre of the pod holder

is not clogged. If the sieve is

clogged, unclog it by rinsing the

pod holder under a running tap. If

necessary, use a washing-up brush

or a pin to unclog the sieve.

If problems continue to occur,

contact the Philips Customer Care

Centre in your country.

The coffee

machine

produces less

coffee than

before.

Perhaps the sieve in the centre of

the pod holder is clogged. If the

sieve is clogged, unclog it by rinsing

the pod holder under a running tap.

If necessary, use a washing-up brush

or a pin to unclog the sieve.

Descale the machine (see chapter

‘Descaling’).
