Step 1: Preparation

Before we begin the descaling process, there are a few things you need to do to prepare your CitiZ coffee machine. First, eject any remaining capsule and empty the capsule container. This will ensure that the descaling solution can flow freely throughout the machine without any obstructions.

The descaling solution is specifically designed to remove mineral buildup and impurities from your machine, ensuring optimal performance and flavor.

Step 3: Descaling Process – First Cycle

Now that your machine is in descaling mode, it’s time to start the first cycle of the descaling process. Simply press the Lungo button to start the cycle. The descaling solution will now flow through the internal components of your machine, effectively removing any scale buildup or impurities.

During this cycle, it is important to let the descaling solution run its course and not interrupt the process. This will ensure a thorough and effective descaling. Once the first cycle is complete, we can move on to the next step.

Step 4: Refilling the Water Tank and Descaling Again

After completing the first cycle, it’s time to refill the water tank with the liquid collected in the 1L container. Make sure to pour the entire contents of the container back into the water tank. This will allow the descaling solution to continue its work in the second cycle.

Once the water tank is refilled, press the Lungo button again to start the second cycle of the descaling process. This additional cycle will provide a deeper and more thorough descaling, ensuring that all traces of scale and impurities are removed from your machine.

Step 5: Rinsing the Machine

With the descaling process complete, it’s now time to rinse your CitiZ coffee machine. Start by rinsing the water tank and filling it with fresh potable water. This will remove any remaining descaling solution from the tank and prepare your machine for the rinsing process.

Place a 1L container under the coffee outlet and press the Lungo button to start the rinsing process. The fresh water will now flow through the machine, flushing out any residual descaling solution and ensuring a clean and fresh coffee brewing environment.

Step 6: Repeat Rinsing Process

To ensure a thorough rinsing, it is recommended to repeat the rinsing process one more time. Therefore, after the first round of rinsing is complete, refill the water tank with fresh water and repeat Step 5. This will further remove any remaining traces of descaling solution and leave your machine ready for use.

Step 7: Exiting Descaling Mode

Now that your CitiZ coffee machine has been descaled and rinsed, it’s time to exit the descaling mode. To do this, press the Espresso and Lungo buttons simultaneously for at least 5 seconds. Once again, keep holding the buttons until both LEDs stop blinking. This indicates that your machine has successfully exited the descaling mode.

Step 8: Completion and Machine Ready for Use

Congratulations! You have successfully descaled your CitiZ coffee machine. By following these steps, you have ensured optimal performance and a great coffee experience. Your machine is now ready to brew your favorite Nespresso coffees, free from any scale or impurities that may affect the taste.
