Solution
Always flush the machine

Consumer Care Center in

Fill the water reservoir and
make sure you place the water
reservoir properly into the
machine.
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.
Descale the machine according
to the instructions.
Use thin-walled cups.
Thin-walled cups absorb
less heat from the coffee than
thick-walled cups.
You can preheat the coffee
machine and cup by brewing
a cup of hot water first without
placing a coffee pod in the pod
holder.
Pressing the coffee button
twice to get a stronger coffee
is possible within a time frame
of 3 seconds. The LED light
on the machine will shine less
bright if the programming was
successful.
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
a vacuum.

Flush before first use
Flush the machine before first use. After the flushing cycle (which only takes
approx. 2 minutes), the machine is ready for brewing coffee.
Intensity Select (HD6556, HD6555, HD6554)
It is possible to brew even shorter stronger cups of coffee by double pressing the
1-cup or 2-cup button.
Special coffees
To brew a special coffee, place a cappuccino pod, a hot chocolate pod or
another special coffee pod in the 2-cup pod holder and press the 1-cup button.
If the sieve is clogged, use a
washing-up brush to unclog
the sieve. If you cannot unclog
it properly with the washing-up
brush, put the pod holder in the
machine and descale the machine
according to the instructions.
This machine has Intensity
Select. If you press the button
twice, you get a smaller cup of
stronger coffee.
If this is the case, remove the
used pod.
Use 1 pod in combination with
the 1-cup pod holder and the
1-cup button. Use 2 pods in
combination with the 2-cup pod
holder and the 2-cup button.
Place the coffee pod(s) properly
in the center of the pod holder,
to prevent water from escaping
along the edge of the pod(s).
When you use two coffee pods
on top of each other, make sure
that the convex sides of both
pods point downwards and press
the pods lightly into the pod
holder. Make sure that the coffee
in the pod is distributed evenly.
Place a new pod in the pod holder
to brew a fresh cup of coffee.
If you prefer a more robust
flavor, SENSEO® coffee pods
with a stronger blend are
available.
Press the button twice to
brew one or two small cups of
stronger coffee.
If you prefer a milder flavor,
SENSEO® coffee pods with a
milder blend are available.
This machine has Intensity
Select. If you press the button
twice, you get a smaller cup of
stronger coffee.
Close the lid properly and lock
the lever.
Do not fill the water reservoir
beyond the MAX level.
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
according to the instructions.
Check if the sealing ring is
stuck under the edge of the
distribution disk. If it is, pull it
out from under the distribution
disk carefully.
Check if the water drops on
the worktop are not the result
of placing or removing the
water reservoir or removing
used coffee pods. Make sure
that 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 Consumer Care Center
in your country.
