Thanks for watching our video on How to descale your Delonghi Nespresso Lattissima coffee machine. The model used was EN520W.

This video is broken down into sections to guide you through the process of descaling your machine.

Nespresso recommends descaling your machine when the cappuccino button (bottom right hand side) shows a steady orange light.

The Nespresso descaling kit shown in this video contains 2 sachets of descaling solution along with machine descaling instructions.

Once you have completed the descaling process, you can start making great tasting coffee again. I have listed some of my favourite coffee pods, used in my machine, at the end of this description.

VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS:

1. PREPARING YOUR MACHINE FOR DESCALING (0:29)
Turn machine on (0:37). Ensure any pods that are in the machine chamber are released (0:54). Empty waste collection tray to dispose of any pods/liquids (1:00). Empty old water from water tank, replacing empty tank (1:10). Then refill water tank with approx. 500ml fresh water (1:21). Put a sachet of descaling solution into water tank (1:53) & put back onto machine with lid closed (2:14).

2.DESCALING YOUR MACHINE - APPROX. 10 MINS (2:24)
Open panel under where milk container sits & take out hot water nozzle (2:46). Open flap where milk container normally attaches & securely attach hot water nozzle (3:06). Cappuccino button will now flash orange indicating machine is now in descaling mode (3:15). Next put a suitable sized container to hold up to approximately 1l of fluid under the coffee outlet & hot water nozzle (3:50). Press the cappuccino button (flashing orange) to start the descaling process (4:07). The light will then change to blue & will flash alternatively between the cappuccino button & latte macchiato button (top right) (4:12). Wait until cappuccino button is flashing orange again to indicate end of descaling (5:47). Empty away the descaling solution from the container taking care (5:50).

3. RINSING YOUR MACHINE - APPROX. 5 MINS (6:08)
Get drip tray & empty away any excess fluid caught whilst descaling (6:23). Then take water tank off & rinse thoroughly, several times, to ensure no descaling solution is left in tank (6:40). Next fill water tank with fresh cold water to maximum level (7:10) & put back carefully on machine (7:25). Then put the container back under the coffee outlet & hot water nozzle to catch fluids from rinsing (7:36). Press the flashing orange cappuccino button to start the rinsing process (7:45). Again the light will then change to blue & will flash alternatively between the cappuccino button & latte macchiato button (7:56). When the machine has finished rinsing it will stop and will turn off (8:33). Take away and carefully empty the fluid caught in the container during the rinsing process (8:36).

4. EXIT DESCALING MODE ON YOUR MACHINE (8:52)
Firstly open panel that holds hot water nozzle (9:05). Detach the hot water nozzle and put in panel - taking care no hot fluids are left in pipe, closing panel (9:07). Close flap - where milk container normally goes into machine (9:18).Empty drip tray again to ensure no excess fluids remain, making sure rinsed thoroughly (9:25).Put drip tray back into machine (9:41). Finally, wipe over with damp cloth to remove any excess liquids which may have escaped (9:49).

Then turn machine back on and if descaling has been successful, the cappuccino light will no longer show a steady orange light (10:20).

You can start making great tasting coffee again once the descaling process has been completed successfully!

PLEASE NOTE: Sometimes, you may need to repeat the above descaling process if cappuccino light continues to show a steady orange light after turning machine back on.

We hope you find our video useful. The Nespresso machine is used in many countries worldwide including the Australia, USA, UK, Italy, Spain & more.
