Nespresso Vertuo Descaling
This has caused me pain over the years, so here's some working instructions so I can find them next time!
- device off, no used capsule in the carrier, 700-900ml of fluid in tank. About 50/50 water & white (cleaning) vinegar
- hold lever + button for 3 seconds
- button is now solid orange
- press front lever once to put into descale mode; then click the top button once to start
- wait for the whole process, do not interrupt
- once the machine stops running, it will be in maintenance mode with the orange blinking light again
- before the machine goes to sleep (which breaks this reset process and requires you to start again...) you need to hold the lever + button again until the light flashes green
- if you did it right, your machine is clean and reset back to solid green
Thanks to xKaelic for these instructions!
