Usage Features
- Coffee Buttons: Dedicated buttons for Espresso and Lungo allow for easy selection of coffee size. These buttons are also used for various programming and maintenance functions.
- Preparation:
- Rinsing: Before first use or after a period of inactivity, the machine should be rinsed by filling the water tank, inserting a capsule (or not, depending on the specific instruction for rinsing), and pressing the Espresso or Lungo button to run water through the system.
- Brewing: To brew coffee, fill the water tank with fresh drinking water, insert a Nespresso capsule, close the lever, place a cup under the coffee outlet, and press either the Espresso or Lungo button.
- Water Volume Programming: Users can customize the water volume for both Espresso and Lungo. To do this, turn on the machine and wait for it to be in ready mode (steady lights). Fill the water tank and insert a capsule. Press and hold the desired Espresso or Lungo button until the desired volume is reached, then release the button. The new volume will be stored.
- Energy Saving Mode: The machine is equipped with an energy-saving feature that automatically powers off after 9 minutes of inactivity. This setting can be changed to 30 minutes.
- To change the setting: With the machine turned off, press and hold the Espresso button for 3 seconds. The Espresso button will blink to indicate the current setting. Press the Espresso button again to cycle through the settings (9 minutes or 30 minutes). To exit, press the Lungo button for 3 seconds.
- Troubleshooting: The manual provides a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for common issues such as no indicator light, no coffee flow, slow coffee flow, cold coffee, capsule leakage, and irregular blinking. Solutions often involve checking the power supply, water tank, descaling, or contacting Nespresso Club.
Maintenance Features
- Emptying the System: Before a period of non-use, for frost protection, or before a repair, the system should be emptied. This involves turning off the machine by pressing both Espresso and Lungo buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds, removing the water tank, opening the lever, and then closing the lever. The machine will switch off automatically, and the used capsule container and drip tray should be emptied and cleaned.
- Descaling: While not explicitly detailed in the provided pages, descaling is a crucial maintenance feature for Nespresso machines to ensure optimal performance and longevity. The troubleshooting section frequently refers to descaling as a solution for various issues, indicating its importance. The manual suggests referring to a dedicated descaling section for instructions.
- Cleaning: The used capsule container and drip tray should be regularly emptied and cleaned to maintain hygiene and prevent blockages. The water tank should also be cleaned periodically.
- Factory Reset: The machine can be reset to factory settings. This typically involves pressing and holding a specific button combination (e.g., Lungo button for 5 seconds) while the machine is off, then pressing both Espresso and Lungo buttons 3 times to confirm. Factory settings restore Espresso volume to 40 ml and Lungo volume to 110 ml, and the energy-saving mode to 9 minutes.
- Water Hardness Setting (Descaling Alert): The manual also mentions a water hardness setting, which is usually linked to the descaling alert. Users can typically set the water hardness level (e.g., 0, 10, 18, 36 dH) to ensure the machine prompts for descaling at appropriate intervals based on local water conditions. This involves a specific sequence of button presses and observations of blinking lights.
