FIRST STEPS

FIRST RINSING

1. Rinse and clean the water tank and lid before filling it with fresh drinking water.
   
2. Put the lid on the water tank and put the water tank in place. Make sure it is properly attached.
   
3. Plug the power cord in, remove the cup support and place an empty container (of at least 1 L/34 fl oz) under the coffee outlet.
   
4. Turn on the machine by pressing the button once.
   
   It will take approximately 40 seconds for the machine to be ready to use.
5. Press the button 3 times within 2 seconds to start rinsing. Let the rinsing procedure complete automatically. When the light becomes steady green, the cycle is complete.
   
   It should take less than 2 minutes before the rinsing process begins and water starts to flow. This procedure may take up to 5 minutes.

COFFEE PREPARATION

1. Fill the water tank with fresh drinking water and put it back in position.
   
2. Turn on the machine by pressing the button once.
   
   Green light will blink while the machine is heating up. It will take approximately 40 seconds. When the green light becomes steady, the machine is ready to use.
3. Open the machine and insert a Vertuo capsule with the dome shape facing down.
   
4. Close the machine head and place a cup. The cup support can be adjusted to accommodate your cup size.
   
5. Start brewing by pressing the button once.
   
   Due to the barcode reading, coffee pre-wetting and infusion time, it will take a moment before the coffee begins to flow. The machine will automatically recognize the inserted capsule and select the coffee preparation parameters and cup length defined by Nespresso coffee experts to extract the coffee blends at it's best.
6. When the coffee stops brewing, open the machine, eject the capsule and enjoy your coffee.
   
7. Don't forget to recycle your Nespresso capsules.*
