Do not put any machine components into the dishwasher, except the Rapid Cappuccino System components (6 components in total), drip tray, cup support, drop collector and used capsule container. Always check if the component is dishwasher safe before putting it into the dishwasher.

When a dishwasher is not available, the Rapid Cappuccino System components can be washed by hand. After disassembling the Rapid Cappuccino System, rinse away carefully any milk residue with hot potable water. Remove all the visible dirt with a sponge. Soak all components in with hot potable water (40°C /104°F) together with mild or soft detergent for at least 30 minutes and rinse thoroughly with hot potable water. Clean the Rapid Cappuccino System components with mild or soft detergent and rinse with hot drinking water. Do not use abrasive material that might damage the surface of the equipment.

According to your consumption profile as well as the water hardness you have set in the machine, the machine will trigger a descaling alert visible on the top of the machine. To optimize descaling intervals and keep a machine well serviced for optimal in cup quality, we highly recommend setting the machine with the water hardness you have at your place. If your consumption profile is made mostly of coffee&milk beverages, the descaling alert will come earlier than if you do only coffee.

At the end of each recipe preparation, The Clean alert illuminates to invite you to clean the Rapid Cappuccino System, through its easy rinsing system. Place a container under the coffee outlet, and turn the milk froth regulator know to Clean position. Milk system rinsing process starts and hot water combined with steam flows through the milk spout. The rinsing process stops automatically. When the rinsing process is finished, the clean alert is resumed. Put back the knob to Froth position.

Your machine is overheating. Wait until the machine cools down.

Ensure the air aspiration part is clean.Ensure all the components of the Rapid Cappuccino System are well assembled.

All the Nespresso machines are equipped with a 19-bar pressure pump, which provides the power needed to pierce the film of the capsule and release the coffee’s 900 or so different aromas.The shape of the Nespresso capsules has been specifically designed to ensure that the pressurized water flows evenly through the ground coffee during extraction. The temperature and flow time are also set to ensure that each precious aroma is expressed.
