All our machines are fully tested after having been manufactured. Traces of coffee may be visible in rinsing water.
Be sure to wait for the end of the preparation and the "Clean" indicator light to light up before handling the milk frother. It is important to take the milk frother by its grip area intended for this purpose because the milk frother may be hot after preparation.
This step consists of defining the water hardness (i.e. the limestone level) so that the machine personalises how frequently descaling is performed. The water hardness level can be tested with the water hardness stick available on the first page of the user manual. The water hardness is set at 4 by factory default
The Water Hardness Setting Menu mode deactivates after 15 seconds of inactivity.
Never lift the lever during operation and refer to the important safeguards to avoid possible harm when operating the appliance.

Descaling is mandatoryThe machine locks itself until the descaling is performed.
To ensure the proper operation of your machine throughout its service life and to maintain a coffee experience as perfect as on its first day, we recommend the following instructions. Descaling is mandatory when the machine indicates that this is required (blinking "Descaling" alert indicator light). To protect your machine's internal components, if descaling is not performed, after 30 cycles, the "Descaling" alert indicator light lights up steadily and the machine locks itself until the descaling is performed.
Your Nespresso machine determines the moment when descaling is required, based on the quantity of water used and your water’s hardness level. This level is defined during the first use by means of the water hardness test stick. (Refer to “Water Hardness Setting”).
The descaling process lasts approximately 25 minutes, including a 20-minute descaling cycle and a 5-minute rinse cycle. During the descaling cycle, your presence is required, as you will be asked to perform several operations.
2.Lift and close the lever to eject the capsule.
The "Descaling" alert indicator light stays lit orange during the entire descaling process. Once in descaling mode, the procedure below must be fully performed so that the machine may return to the normal mode. Any interruption (stoppage of the machine, power outage, etc.) will return the machine to the start of the descaling phase.
If the operation according to the above-mentioned method is invalid, you can contact Nespresso to further try to manually release pressure. Note: A pressure realise tool is required.
The milk frother must be inserted before starting the procedure.
Some steam may come out of the coffee outlet and milk frother during emptying.
