Welcome to our step-by-step guide on how to use the Caffenu® Eco Power Descaler for Nespresso® Vertuo® machines. Descaling your Nespresso® machine is an important step in maintaining its optimal performance and ensuring the longevity of your machine. The Vertuo® Descaler® is specifically designed to remove built-up mineral deposits, which can negatively impact the taste of your coffee and even damage your machine over time.

In this guide, we will walk you through the entire descaling process, from preparing your machine to flushing out the descaling solution. With our easy-to-follow instructions, you’ll have your Nespresso® machine descaled and ready to brew delicious coffee in no time. So, let’s get started!

Important points to note before you start the descaling process:

• Descaler can damage surfaces. Avoid splashing or spilling the descaler on acid-intolerant surfaces such as marble, limestones, chrome-plated steel, enamel, silver, and wood.
• The descaling process should not be interrupted once it has started. If the machine is turned off during the process, kindly allow the descaling process to be completed.
• These are general Vertuo® machine descaling guidelines. Consult your specific machine’s manual for descaling instructions.
• RECOMMENDED USAGE: Descale every 2-4 months. Do not wait for the descaling light to come on. *Estimated Duration: 20mins
