Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the machine is straightforward: plug it into a standard 220-240V outlet, fill the rear tank with fresh water, and press any button to initiate the heating process. Ensure you run a flush cycle with water (without a capsule) before the first use.
For daily care, keep the external housing clean with a damp cloth and ensure the drip tray is emptied and rinsed daily to prevent residue buildup. To maintain optimal coffee flavor, we recommend descaling the machine every few months, depending on the hardness of your local water. Always use original Nespresso-compatible capsules to ensure the internal piercing mechanism remains in good working order.
