Check the removable water tank is filled and the appliance is plugged in. The thermostat inside the appliance may need to cool down completely before you can make another coffee. This will take around 5 minutes.

Question: Why is the coffee maker taking a long time to brew?Answer: The coffee maker may need cleaning or descaling. See ‘Care and Cleaning’.

CARE AND CLEANING

Switch off and unplug the appliance from the socket before cleaning.
Always allow the appliance to cool down completely before cleaning.
Clean thoroughly before using for the first time and after every use.
Check the parts for wear or damage after every few uses.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool.
Never immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid. To clean the outer surfaces, wipe with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly before storing.
CAUTION: The piercing blades are very sharp in the Nespresso® capsule holder. Care must be taken when handling the capsule holder, emptying and during cleaning.

Rinse the water tank once a day.
If the coffee maker is not going to be used for a period of time, empty the water tank completely.
Store the Coffee Pod Machine with the power cable loosely coiled. Never wrap it tightly around the product.

DESCALING

Bitter tasting coffee, a ‘sizzling’ noise during brewing, or a prolonged brewing time compared to normal indicate that the appliance may need descaling.
We recommend cleaning the water tank once a month or when the appliance has made 25 brews (or more frequently in hard water areas).
Ensure there is no coffee pod in the capsule holder.
Mix 2 cups of cold water and 2 cups of white wine vinegar, and pour into the water tank. You can use a liquid descaler suitable for coffee makers, and read carefully the instructions on its package before use.
Put a large container on the drip tray cover (it’s suggested to use a container with more than an 800ml capacity).
Put the empty Nespresso® capsule holder without a capsule into the brewing chamber and connect the machine to a power socket.
Press and hold the ‘START’ button , then turn the power button to position ‘ON’. The buttons will flash in sequence. Press the START button . The appliance will then enter the cleaning procedure. The machine begins to pump water and start descaling.
The descaling has finished when it has pumped all the water in the water tank, buttons illuminate and flash in sequence.
Fill the removable water tank with 600ml of clean fresh water into the water tank. Press the start button and the appliance will enter the cleaning procedure.

NOTE: Never refill the water reservoir with the used descaling solution because it is no longer active.WARNING: Never interrupt the descaling process. Malfunctions caused by scale deposited inside the appliance are not covered by the guarantee if the descaling process is not carried out properly.
