Most Essenza Plus models have an indicator light or a visual cue when the container is full or needs attention. Refer to your main Nespresso Essenza Plus EN200 machine manual for specific full-indicator details.
6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning of the used capsule container is vital for hygiene and to prevent residue buildup.
- Empty Capsules: Remove the container from the machine and discard all used capsules.
- Rinse: Rinse the container thoroughly under warm running water.
- Clean: Use a mild dish soap and a soft sponge or cloth to clean the interior and exterior of the container. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the plastic.
- Rinse Again: Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
- Dry: Allow the container to air dry completely or wipe it with a clean, dry cloth before reinserting it into the machine. Ensure no water droplets remain, especially in areas that might contact electrical components (though this is less likely for a capsule container).
It is recommended to clean the container at least once a week, or more frequently depending on usage.
