Before using this guide, make sure you have the Nespresso descaling kit. Any other type of cleaning solution used in the machine could potentially break the machine.

When I hit the button to begin the descaling process, the orange light flashes for a few seconds then I get a red ring and the machine stops

I usually require six envelopes to descale (six times). We have very hard water where we live. Keep repeating process. Once machine has descaled enough, it will go back to green. Persistence wins.

perchè pur funzionante si accende la spia circolare di colore per metà rossa e metà verde?

Devi fare la decalcificazione ti da ancora la possibilità di usarla ma per un breve periodo
