Instructions
- First, fill the water tank at the back of your Vertuo Next with 1 packet of Nespresso descaling solution and 500 milliliters of water.
- Place an empty measuring jug at the front to catch wastewater from the descaling process.
- Turn on the Nespresso Vertuo Next machine by plugging it in.
- Turn the lever at the top to unlock the Nespresso machine.
- Hold the button for 7 seconds until it blinks orange.
- Lock it again and unlock it again.
- Hold the button for 7 more seconds until it blinks orange.
- Then finally lock one more time and press the button once.
- The descaling process will start.
- Once the descaling treatment in the tank has run empty, the Vertuo Next will continue to blink orange. Empty the measuring jug or container at the front and place the empty jug back in front of the machine for the next step.
- Now remove and clean the tank at the back of the machine, and refill it with fresh water. Replace the full tank and press the blinking button one last time to complete the rinse cycle.
- When the rinse cycle has been completed, it will blink white and then stay white. Now you have successfully completed the Vertuo Next descaling process. Enjoy your next coffee.
Notes
Tips & Tricks
You may find it helpful to hold the button down with the very tip of your finger so you can see when the color changes. When I pressed the button with my whole finger I couldn't see what was happening.
