How often to descale
Descale every 3 months or 300 capsules, whichever comes first, or when the machine shows its descaling alert.
After descaling: The descaling alert clears once the descale and rinse cycles finish. On Vertuo Next, Pop and Pop+ the cycle cannot be stopped; if the machine is unplugged it restarts in descale mode and both cycles must run again. Creatista and Lattissima models lock after a set number of drinks if the alert is ignored.
How to descale your Nespresso Vertuo
Watch the guide or follow the steps.
- 1Turn the machine on, open the head to eject the capsule, then close it and leave the lever unlocked. Empty the cup support and used capsule container.
- 2Pour one bottle of descaler and 500 ml of water into the water tank. Hold the button for at least 7 seconds until it blinks quickly.
- 3Within 45 seconds, turn the lever left to lock and right to unlock, then hold the button for at least 7 seconds again. Put a container that holds at least 800 ml under the coffee outlet.
- 4Lock the lever and press the button to start; the machine stops by itself when done. If it stops and blinks because it is badly scaled, wait several minutes and press the button again.
- 5Empty, rinse and clean the tank and cup support, fill the tank with fresh water and press the button to rinse. The machine stops by itself when the rinse is done.
- 6Hold the button for at least 7 seconds to leave descaling mode; the light stops blinking and stays steady. Let the machine dry for 10 minutes before you use it; the whole job takes about 20 minutes.
