1. Descale your machine at least once a year for soft water.
Note: for hard water descale twice per year. (If you don’t know what water type you have hard water tends to leave white marks in the water tank)
Order a descaling kit now.
2. Eject your capsules after each use.
3. Frequently change the water tank with fresh drinking water.
4. Regularly empty and clean the capsule container and drip tray.
5. For integrated milk devices, activate the cleaning procedure after each use.
6. Before your first coffee, brew water without capsule by pressing any coffee button.
By doing so, you pre-heat your coffee cup and you rinse the extraction system for better coffee experience.
We recycle all old Nespresso machines. As part of our commitment to the environment we have established a partnership with Ecommunity – a local Social Corporation for the Recycling of Electronic Waste that employs individuals with special needs, aiding them to integrate into society and particularly into the workforce. During this process the machines are dissembled, with the guidance of Nespresso Technical Team, after which every part is recycled according to its consistency (Plastic, Aluminum, etc.). You may find additional information about the project on: www.ecommunity.org.il.
All the Nespresso machines are equipped with a 19-bar pressure pump, which provides the power needed to pierce the film of the capsule and reveal the coffee’s 900 or so different aromas. The shape of the Nespresso capsule has been specially designed to ensure that the pressurised water flows evenly through the ground coffee during extraction. The temperature and flow time are also set to ensure that each precious aroma is expressed.
1. If no coffee flow, please check that:
- the mains supply cord is not trapped between the water tank and the machine.
- the water tank is sufficiently filled and properly positioned.
- your machine is turned on (lights ON).
2. If poor flow, it means you need to descale your machine.
1. If irregular blinking, please verify that the machine is not in descaling mode (flashing fast and regular). Machine ON, try to exit descaling mode, by pressing both buttons for 3 seconds. The machine should stop blinking.
2. If no light, it means that this machine switches itself OFF automatically after 9 min (factory settings). This time can be changed to 30 min.
Procedure:
- Switch the machine OFF.
- Press the Espresso button for 3 seconds.
- Espresso button will blink to indicate the current setting (1x for 9min, 2x for 30min).
- Press the Espresso button 1x for 9min or 2x for 30min.
- To exit, press Lungo button for 3 seconds.
