Nespresso Evoluo Descaling Guide

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.

Safety Precautions:

• 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.

Descaling Your Nespresso Evoluo Machine

Estimated duration: 20 minutes

1. Step 1: Prepare the Solution

   Fill the water tank with 1 packet of Nespresso descaling solution and 1/2 tank of fresh water.

2. Step 2: Prepare the Machine

   With the machine plugged in, empty the capsule container and drip tray. Place them back onto the machine.

3. Step 3: Initiate Descaling Mode - Part 1

   Leave the lever in the unlocked position. Press and release the button once and wait for a steady light.

4. Step 4: Initiate Descaling Mode - Part 2

   Press and hold the button until the steady light turns off, and then starts blinking quickly. This may take approximately 7 seconds.

5. Step 5: Lock and Unlock Lever

   Turn the lever to the left to lock it, then turn the lever back to the front to unlock it.

6. Step 6: Confirm Descaling Mode Entry

   Press and hold the button until the light turns off and then starts blinking quickly again. Steps 5 and 6 must be completed within 45 seconds.

7. Step 7: Enter Descaling Mode

   Lock the lever. The light should still be blinking fast. This indicates you have entered descaling mode. If not, start over from Step 3.

8. Step 8: Start Descaling Cycle

   Place a 20 oz. receptacle underneath the coffee spout. Press and release the button once to begin descaling. The light will continuously blink throughout the process. The machine will dispense solution intermittently.

9. Step 9: Complete Descaling Cycle

   Once the solution has finished running through, the machine should be silent. Discard the solution and return the empty receptacle underneath the coffee spout.

10. Step 10: Begin Rinsing Cycle

    Rinse the water tank. Refill it with 2/3 fresh water and place it back on the machine. Press and release the button to start the rinsing process.

11. Step 11: Empty Receptacle

    The machine will stop making noise once the water tank is completely empty. Discard the water from the receptacle.

12. Step 12: Exit Descaling Mode

    Once the water tank is empty, press and hold the button until the blinking light becomes steady. This may take approximately 7 seconds.

13. Step 13: Refill Water Tank

    Refill the water tank and place it back onto the machine.

14. Step 14: Clean Components

    Empty and rinse the capsule container and drip tray, and reinsert them.

15. Step 15: Finalize

    Wipe down the machine with a damp cloth. Let the machine rest for 10 minutes. The machine is now ready for use.
