Steps:

  1. Keep the power cord, plug, and controls dry while working around the water tank.
  2. Check the orange descaling light before making coffee.
  3. A slow orange blink means descaling is advisable.
  4. A fast orange blink means descale as soon as possible.
  5. A solid orange light means descale now because the machine won't function.
  6. Plan about 20 minutes for the full descaling and rinse process.
  7. Descale regularly in hard water areas to remove limescale and keep coffee tasting fresh.
  8. Turn the machine so you can reach the water tank at the back.
  9. Lift the water tank away from the machine and remove its lid.
  10. Use scissors to cut the corner off the Nespresso descaler pouch.
  11. Pour the descaling liquid into the water tank.
  12. Descaling solution can irritate skin and eyes, so avoid splashes and rinse spills with water.
  13. Fill the tank with fresh water up to the descaling mark, which is about halfway up the side.
  14. Use filtered fresh water if available because it has less limescale and dirt.
  15. Reinstall the water tank lid.
  16. Pull the descaling pipe out of its rear clip.
  17. Remove the bottom tray and the milk container from the front of the machine.
  18. Push the descaling pipe into the milk function opening with the pipe pointing down.
  19. Gently push the filled water tank into the back of the machine.
  20. Place a jug that holds about 1 litre under the coffee outlet and the descaling pipe.
  21. Make sure the jug can catch liquid from both outlets without overflowing.
  22. Press the bottom Espresso button.
  23. Watch for the two lower lights to flash and stay lit.
  24. After a few seconds, only the bottom Espresso button should remain lit.
  25. If the lights don't behave this way, remove the milk hose from the front, plug it back in, and press the bottom Espresso button again.
  26. Keep the jug in place as descaling liquid flows from the coffee outlet and the milk function outlet.
  27. The machine can dispense hot liquid, so keep your hands clear of both outlets.
  28. Leave the machine running while the bottom Espresso button flashes.
  29. Let the descaling liquid flow through the coffee outlet and milk function outlet until the tank is nearly empty and the jug is nearly full.
  30. You may see limescale and coffee grinds collecting in the jug.
  31. The cycle is complete when the flow stops and only the middle light remains on.
  32. Don't drink or reuse the liquid collected during descaling.
  33. Empty the jug into the sink.
  34. Remove the cassette unit that collected water during descaling.
  35. Empty the water from the cassette unit into the sink.
  36. Reinstall the cassette unit before the rinse cycle.
  37. Remove the water tank and lid again.
  38. Pour any remaining descaling solution from the bottom of the tank into the sink.
  39. Fill the tank to the max mark with fresh water.
  40. Use filtered fresh water if available, but fresh tap water is fine if filtered water isn't available.
  41. Reinstall the lid and push the water tank back into the machine.
  42. Keep the 1 litre jug under the coffee outlet and the descaling pipe.
  43. Press the middle Lungo button to start the fresh water flush.
  44. Let fresh water flush through the machine for about 5 minutes.
  45. The middle Lungo button flashes while water flows.
  46. You may still see coffee grinds coming through into the jug.
  47. Don't stop the rinse early because it clears remaining descaler from the machine.
  48. Let the rinse run until all the lights go off.
  49. Confirm the jug is full and the water tank is empty.
  50. Empty the jug into the sink.
  51. Remove the descaling pipe from the front of the machine.
  52. Remove the cassette unit, empty its water into the sink, and dry it.
  53. Use a clean cloth to dry any area where water has collected.
  54. Reinstall the cassette unit.
  55. Dry the descaling pipe.
  56. Clip the descaling pipe into its rear storage position so it doesn't get misplaced.
  57. Fill the water tank with fresh water up to the max mark.
  58. Use filtered fresh water if available.
  59. Reinstall the tank lid and water tank.
  60. Turn the machine back to its normal position.
