This is an instruction manual for the Philips SENSEO® Latte Select coffee machine
This manual introduces the Philips HD7850 SENSEO® coffee machine, explaining its features, required accessories and safety precautions. It guides you through the initial flushing, water reservoir filling, and proper placement of the milk container unit before the first brew.
Subsequent sections cover daily operation, selecting coffee varieties, cleaning the milk container, descaling procedures, and troubleshooting common issues such as indicator lights, low water level warnings, and milk temperature problems.
No, you must use a citric‑acid based descaler; white vinegar is not allowed.
No, the machine will not operate at altitudes higher than 2200 m.
Use semi‑skimmed cow’s milk for the best froth; other milks like rice or soy do not produce high‑quality froth.
It lights up when descaling is required, after about 1000 cups of black coffee or 250 cups of milk‑based drinks.
