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
You cannot brew coffee if you have not flushed the SENSEO
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:

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

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 spout 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.
