This document describes the NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto KRUPS coffee machine, a household appliance designed for preparing a variety of hot and cold beverages using specialized capsules. The machine features an auto shut-off function to conserve energy and protect its lifespan, automatically turning off after 20 minutes of inactivity. This function can be disabled if preferred, allowing the machine to remain on until manually turned off. Unplugging the machine will restore the auto shut-off function.
The NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto machine operates by piercing a capsule and forcing hot or cold water through it to create a beverage. It features a selection lever for choosing between hot and cold water, a locking handle to secure the capsule holder, and a power button that indicates the machine's status through flashing lights. The machine is designed for ease of use, with clear visual cues for operation.
Before first use, or after any maintenance, the machine requires a rinsing process to ensure proper function and cleanliness. This involves inserting the drip tray, then the capsule bin, and powering on the machine. Once the power button light stops flashing (indicating it's ready), the machine should be run through a rinsing cycle. After rinsing, the water tank should be refilled, and the machine is ready for beverage preparation.
To prepare a hot beverage, the user first presses the power button and waits for the light to stop flashing. The drip tray should be adjusted to the appropriate height for the chosen cup. The capsule holder is then slid in with the locking handle up, and a capsule is inserted. The locking handle is closed, and the selection lever is moved to either the hot or cold position, depending on the desired beverage. The lever is returned to neutral once the beverage reaches the user's liking. It's crucial not to open the locking handle during brewing to prevent scalding. The locking handle must be closed before moving the selection lever. Also, the water tank should not be filled with hot water. After brewing, the capsule should be removed, and the capsule holder cleaned.
The machine supports a wide variety of NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto capsules, including Espresso, Caffè Lungo (regular and decaffeinated), Caffè Americano, Cappuccino (regular and skinny), Mocha, Chococino®, Latte Macchiato, Cappuccino Ice, and Nestea Peach. Many of these beverages require two capsules (e.g., milk and coffee) to create the final drink. Each capsule is designed for a single use and should be removed after extraction.
Regular cleaning and descaling are essential for the longevity and optimal performance of the NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto machine.
After each use, the drip tray and capsule bin should be emptied and cleaned. The capsule holder should also be cleaned, and any used capsule removed.
For a more thorough cleaning, especially if the machine head appears dirty, the capsule holder should be inserted without a capsule. The power button is pressed, and the machine is run through a cleaning cycle, waiting for the light to stop flashing. This helps to flush out any residue. The water tank should also be cleaned regularly.
Descaling is a critical maintenance task, especially in areas with hard water. Minerals like calcium and magnesium naturally present in water can form scale, which coats the internal brewing components. If dispensing becomes slower or beverages are cooler than usual, it's an indication that descaling is needed. The manufacturer recommends descaling about once a month in hard water areas, or every 3-4 months otherwise.
To descale, a specific KRUPS descaling packet (#F054) should be used, which can be ordered via phone or internet. It's important to follow the instructions provided with the descaling packet. Crucially, do not use vinegar or put descaling powder directly into the machine. The descaling cycle should not be interrupted once started. The process typically involves filling the water tank with the descaling solution, running it through the machine, waiting for a specified period, and then rinsing the machine with clean water multiple times. The machine enters descaling mode by pressing the power button for 5 seconds.
The manual provides guidance for common issues:
The machine is designed for household use only and not for commercial purposes. Only NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto capsules should be used. The manufacturer's liability will be voided due to wrong use or for unintended purposes. It's important to keep the appliance, power cord, and capsule holder out of reach of children. The capsule holder contains two permanent magnets, so it should be kept away from objects sensitive to magnetism (e.g., credit cards, diskettes, pacemakers).
