Important Information Before You Begin
Nespresso recommends descaling every 3 months or 300 capsules (whichever comes first).
Nespresso machines should be descaled with a Nespresso Descaling Kit, which contains a natural solution that thoroughly dissolves scale build-up. Other solutions (such as vinegar or store-bought descalers) may cause damage to your Nespresso machine.
Descaling solution can damage or discolor surfaces. We suggest placing something underneath your machine in case a spill should occur. If a spill does occur, please make sure to clean up the solution immediately to avoid any damage.
- Keep descaling solution out of reach of children.
- In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water for 15 minutes and seek medical advice.
- Do not swallow or ingest the descaling solution.
- The descaling solution may be irritating to the eyes and skin.
- Avoid filling up the water tank during the descaling process.
- After descaling, wipe down the machine with a damp cloth.
