• Blow in the direction indicated by the arrow
(from bottom to top) in order to clear the
perforations of any impurities (29). Clean
the water inlet of the capsule cage using the
special mesh found on the end of the
unblocking tool (delivered with the ma-
chine). Clean the two perforations again
using the unblocking tool.
• Place the capsule cage in the special
hexagonal key and screw it down again (do
not tighten too hard, and do not use the
capsule holder for this purpose) (30).
Descaling
To ensure that your appliance is working at its
best and for the best quality coffee, it is
strongly recommended that you regularly
descale your Krups Nespresso System (more or
less frequently, depending on the hardness of
your water, but at least once every six
months).
If you require further details, please contact
your Nespresso Club, which can provide you
with a complete descaling kit. The appliance is
delivered with a special hexagonal key and a
cleaning needle; these tools can also be useful
when you are descaling your appliance.
Please note!
You should never, in any circumstances,
use vinegar!
