This video provides a step-by-step guide on how to descale a Nespresso Vertuo machine using a descaling solution.
Preparation and Entering Descaling Mode
• Prepare the solution: Pour the descaling agent into an empty water bin and fill the rest halfway with water [00:00].
• Initialize the machine: With the lever unlocked, press the button once and wait for a steady light [00:20].
• Access the menu: Press and hold the button until the light turns off and then starts blinking rapidly [00:28].
• Confirm mode: Turn the lever to the lock position, then back to the unlock position, and hold the button again until it blinks quickly [00:39].
The Descaling Process
• Start the flow: Place a large container under the spout, lock the lever, and press the button once [01:00].
• Dispensing: The machine will blink and dispense the solution until the tank is empty. You may need to swap containers to prevent overflowing [01:23].
Rinsing and Completion
• Rinse the tank: Discard the used solution and fill the tank about two-thirds full with fresh water [01:47].
• Start rinsing: Reinstall the tank and press the button once to begin the rinsing cycle [02:11].
• Exit mode: Once the tank is empty and the noise stops, press and hold the button for about 7 seconds until the light becomes steady to exit descaling mode [02:31].
• Final steps: Wait 10 minutes for the machine to cool down before refilling the tank to brew coffee [02:51].
