   First read the safety precautions to avoid risks of fatal electrical shock and fire. Please ensure ground continuity when plugging the machine into the power outlet.

DISABLING MACHINE BLUETOOTH AND WI-FI

The machine comes with a connectivity module, enabled by default. It gives access to additional features, enhancing your coffee experience. To disable the connectivity module, follow these steps:

1. With the machine closed and the lever in unlocked position, unplug the machine for at least 10 seconds.
   
2. Press and hold the button whilst plugging in the machine. The button will blink orange to confirm that the connectivity module has now been disabled.
   
   Follow the same steps to set the connectivity module back on again. The button will blink white to confirm that the module has been reactivated.

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. Open and close the machine. Ensure the lever is in lock position.
   
   The light will blink while the machine is heating up. It will take approximately 30 seconds. When the light becomes steady the machine is ready. Make sure that no capsule is inserted.
5. Press the button 3 times within 2 seconds to start rinsing. Let the rinsing procedure complete automatically. When the light becomes steady white, 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 7 minutes.

COFFEE PREPARATION

1. Open and close the machine.
   
   The coffee button light will blink while the machine is heating up. When the light becomes steady, the machine is ready to use.
2. Fill the water tank with fresh drinking water and put it back in position.
   
3. Unlock and open the machine head completely and insert a Vertuo capsule with the dome shape facing down.
   
4. Close the machine head and lock by turning the lever left into the lock position and place a cup on the cup support. The cup support can be adjusted to accomodate your cup size.
   
5. Start brewing by pressing the button once.
   
   
   For correct machine use, please do not open the machine head while the coffee is brewing, wait until the machine has stopped and the coffee button is steady and white. If you want to stop the brewing earlier, please press the Coffee Button once and wait until the coffee button goes back to steady white.
   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 head by turning the lever right towards the unlock position to automatically eject the capsule and enjoy your coffee.
   
7. Don't forget to recycle your Nespresso capsules.*

DISCOVER OUR COFFEE CREATIONS MODE

With this machine, Nespresso offers you a specific function to concentrate your coffee extractions to create your own recipes.
With your machine turned on and a capsule inserted and the head closed and locked, double click the coffee button. It will blink turquoise and your coffee brew will be concentrated, optimizing the coffee taste in recipes with add-ons (milk, cream, over ice...). For Incomparable Coffee Experience.

To fully enjoy the benefits, we recommend brewing our Coffee+ range using only the official cup sizes. For the best in-cup results, we do not recommend brewing our XL (Alto Ambrato, Alto Onice), Cold Brew Style & Carafe Pour Over Style with this mode.

NOTE: An update of your machine via the Nespresso App may be necessary to enable this mode.
