Frequently Asked Questions - NESPRESSO M150 MAGIMIX

How to prepare a Nespresso coffee with the M150 machine?

Fill the water tank with fresh water, place a capsule in the capsule holder, tighten the ring, place a cup under the outlet, then turn the function selector to the coffee position (right position). Stop by returning the selector to 0.

How to get hot water?

Make sure the function selector is at 0, turn on the machine, set the steam/hot water selector to steam position, then turn the function selector to the left (hot water position). Once the desired volume is reached, return the selector to 0.

How to froth milk for a cappuccino?

Pour about 1 dl of cold whole milk into a tall container. First prepare a coffee in a large cup. Use the steam nozzle: set the steam/hot water selector to steam position, immerse the nozzle in the milk and turn the function selector to the left. Keep the nozzle under the surface until foam is obtained.

Why is the coffee not flowing?

Check that the capsule holder is properly in place and tightened. Make sure the water tank is filled and correctly inserted. If the problem persists, clean the capsule cage (see manual) or perform descaling.

How to clean the capsule cage?

Unplug the machine, remove the tank, drip tray and capsule holder. Turn the machine over, use the hex key to unscrew the capsule cage. Rinse it under running water, clean the openings with the provided cleaning tool, then blow into the cage. Reassemble and tighten with the key.

How to descale the machine?

Use a specific Nespresso descaling product. Never use vinegar. Follow the product instructions. Descaling is recommended regularly depending on water hardness.

Why is the pump making a loud noise?

Check that the water tank contains enough water and is properly engaged. An abnormal noise may indicate a lack of water or incorrect positioning of the tank.

How to preheat cups?

Place the cups on the cup warming plate located on top of the machine. You can also use the hot water function to rinse them with very hot water before use.

What to do if the milk is not frothy enough?

Warning! The steam / hot water nozzle can become burning hot.

Using the steam nozzle

The steam nozzle is useful in making frothed milk for a cappuccino, or for heating a liquid. The water pump then works in an intermittent cycle.

Important! Before making steam, verify that the capsule holder inserted in the spout ring is empty in order to avoid that coffee becomes encrusted and blocks the coffee spout opening.

Making milk froth for a cappuccino (16-17)

Your machine is equipped with an integrated frothing attachment specially designed to froth milk with optimal results when making a cappuccino. To do this:

• Pour approximately 1 dl of cold whole milk into a sufficiently high pot (of not more than 0.5 l maximum capacity) that can be inserted under the steam / hot water nozzle.
• First prepare a Nespresso in a cappuccino cup filling it only one-third full.
• Remove the capsule holder from the spout ring, discard the used capsule and reinsert the empty capsule holder in the spout ring.
• Press the steam / hot water switch to the position (16). Once the yellow temperature control light goes off, the machine is ready for use.
• Plunge the steam nozzle into the receptacle and turn the function knob to the position on the left (17). The yellow temperature control light will go on.
• Maintain the end of the nozzle under the surface of the milk during the entire procedure ensuring that it does not touch the base of the receptacle.
• Stop the steam by turning the function knob to the «O» position. The yellow temperature control light will go off.

• Remove the receptacle and pivot the steam nozzle over the drip tray.

• Turn the function knob again to the position on the left for just a second in order to eliminate any residual milk that otherwise can block the steam nozzle.

• Wipe the integrated frothing attachment with a clean damp cloth.

Important: To extract a Nespresso after having used the steam, let the machine cool down. To do this, insert the empty capsule holder into the spout ring, place a receptacle under the coffee spout and run the equivalent of one or two large cups of water by turning the function knob to the position on the right. Return the function knob to the «0» position. Once the yellow temperature control light goes off, the machine is ready for use.

Heating liquids (18)

You can also heat liquids thanks to the steam / hot water nozzle on this machine.

• Verify that the function knob is on the «O» position.
• Turn on your machine by pressing the On/Off Switch to I.
• Press the steam / hot water switch to the position. Once the yellow temperature control light goes off, the machine is ready for use.
• Slide the tube of the frothing attachment up 3 - 5mm
• Plunge the steam nozzle into the receptacle containing the liquid to be heated and turn the function knob to the position on the left (18). The yellow temperature control light will go on.

• Maintain the end of the nozzle under the surface of the liquid during the entire procedure ensuring that it does not touch the base of the receptacle.

• Stop the steam by turning the function knob to the «O» position. The yellow temperature control light will go off.

• Remove the receptacle and pivot the steam nozzle over the drip tray.
• Wipe the steam / hot water nozzle with a clean damp cloth immediately after its use.

Important: To extract a Nespresso after having used the steam, let the machine cool down. To do this, insert the empty capsule holder in the spout ring, place a receptacle under the coffee spout and run the equivalent of one or two large cups of water by turning the function knob to the position on the right.. Return the function knob to the «0» position. Once the yellow temperature control light goes off, the machine is ready for use.

Preheating Cups

It is highly recommended that you preheat the cups with very hot water before making the first Nespresso of the day. Subsequent cups can be preheated by stocking them on the cup heating plate.

• To preheat cups with the steam / hot water nozzle, follow the instructions given under the section on: "Preparing Hot Water".

Cleaning (19-21)

• After the extraction of each Nespresso or the use of the steam / hot water nozzle, residual water in the thermoblock is discharged into the drip tray provoking a light hissing noise. It is therefore necessary to remove the grill and empty the drip tray (19) after about 20 coffees and, at same time, to clean them with a non-abrasive, dish washing liquid.

• Before reinserting the drip tray and grill, ensure that the back cover of the drip tray is properly in place (20).

• The capsule holder must be rinsed frequently. Either run hot tap water through it or simply insert the empty capsule holder in the spout ring and let water run through it while slightly loosening and re-tightening the capsuleholder to vary the pressure flow. Cleaning the capsule holder in the dishwasher is not recommended.
• For optimal cleaning of your capsule holder, a specially conceived cleaning product is also available from your Nespresso Club.
• Clean the steam / hot water nozzle with a clean, damp cloth after each use. If the nozzle is blocked, unscrew it with the aid of a coin and remove the residue causing the blockage with a needle. Take this occasion to remove the integrated frothing attachment from the bottom part of the steam nozzle by unscrewing it with the help of a coin if necessary. Rinse all of the parts in hot water.
• When reconnecting the nozzle, ensure that the O-ring joints are put back properly into place (21)!

Cleaning the Capsule Cage (22-30)

The capsule cage is screwed into the bottom part of the thermoblock inside the spout ring. In order to clean it, follow the instructions below.

• Turn off the machine and remove the water tank, the drip tray and the capsule holder (22).
• Let the machine cool down.

• Turn the machine upside down (23).

• Put the hexagonal key on the capsule holder (24) and unscrew the capsule cage by turning the handle counterclockwise (25).

• Finish unscrewing the capsule cage by hand (26).
• Rinse the capsule cage under running water. With the cleaning tool delivered with the machine, clean the two holes on either side of the water spout (27) as well as the water entry point of the capsule cage using the spiral end of the cleaning tool (27).

Warning! Use the cleaning tool with care since improper handling can cause injury.

• Blow through the capsule cage in the direction of the arrow (28) in order to remove any deposits.
• Clean the two holes of the water spout with the cleaning tool a second time and blow through the capsule cage once again.
• Coat the threads of the capsule cage with lubricant and ensure that the O-ring joint is put back properly into place (29).
• Manually screw the capsule cage back into the spout ring with the help of the hexagonal key (30). No not use the capsule holder to handle this procedure!

Dscaling

• For the perfect functioning of your machine and to maintain the optimum quality of your Nespresso, we recommend that you descale your machine regularly depending on the water hardness of your region.

• For further information, contact your Nespresso Club who has products specially conceived for this purpose available to you.

• The machine is delivered with a hexagonal key and cleaning tool that will be useful to you in descending your machine.
