Frequently Asked Questions - Nespresso Atelier XN8908 KRUPS

How to descale my Nespresso Atelier XN8908 machine?
When the Descaling indicator flashes or becomes steady, descaling is mandatory. Empty the drip tray and capsule container. Fill the water tank with 500 ml of drinking water and add 1 sachet of Nespresso liquid descaling agent. Insert the whisk frother, place a 1 L container under the head, then press the Lungo + Ristretto buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. Press again to start the cycle. The product flows alternately through the coffee outlet and the frother. Once the tank is empty, rinse it and fill with fresh water, then press Lungo + Ristretto again for rinsing. The indicator turns off at the end of the cycle.
Why is the milk foam insufficient?
Use refrigerated UHT milk (about 4 °C) skimmed or semi-skimmed. Soy, almond or oat milk can be used but produce less foam. After each preparation, clean the whisk frother. If the problem persists, check that the frother connection is clean and the machine is descaled. Also adjust the cup position so that the frother is well immersed (the milk should not exceed half of the cup).
What to do if coffee flows very slowly?
The flow rate depends on the capsule type. If the flow is unusually slow, it may indicate a need for descaling. Follow the descaling procedure described in the manual. Also check that the capsule is correctly inserted and the lever is properly closed.
How to clean the whisk frother?
After each milk preparation, the Clean indicator lights up orange. Raise the head, remove the whisk frother by its grip (it may be hot). Wash it in the dishwasher or by hand with a mild detergent. Replace it in its housing at the back of the machine. Never wash other components in the dishwasher, except the capsule container.
The machine does not turn on, what to check?
Make sure the machine is plugged into a suitable outlet and the power cord is not damaged. Check the outlet fuse. Press one of the 9 buttons for 1 second to turn on. If nothing lights up, contact Nespresso service.
Why do the milk recipe buttons not light up?
The whisk frother must be inserted to activate the milk recipes. Raise the head, insert the whisk frother into the connection until it stops. The Hot Foam, Cold Foam, Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato, Mocha and Iced Frappé buttons then light up.
How to adjust water hardness?
Use the test strip provided in the user guide. Dip it in the water you use, then compare the number of bars to the table. Turn on the machine, then press Cold Foam + Mocha simultaneously for 3 seconds. The Descaling and Clean indicators light up, and the Lungo, Hot Foam, Cold Foam, Espresso and Latte Macchiato buttons flash. Press the button corresponding to the measured hardness level (0 to 4). The button flashes 3 times to confirm.
The 'Descaling' indicator is steady and the machine is locked, what to do?
This is normal: the machine locks to protect its internal components. Descaling is mandatory. Follow the complete descaling procedure (step by step). Once the descaling is finished, the indicator turns off and the machine becomes functional again. Do not attempt to ignore the alert.
Can I use my own cup with the frother?
Yes, under certain conditions: the cup must not be flared, its inner diameter must be at least 7 cm, the amount of milk must never exceed half of the cup (minimum 80 ml for hot recipes), and the frother must be immersed in the milk. Place the drip tray in high or low position depending on the cup size.
How to program the coffee volume?
Turn on the machine, insert a capsule and close the lever. Place a cup under the coffee outlet. Press and hold the Ristretto, Espresso or Lungo button according to the recipe. Release as soon as the desired volume is reached. The button flashes 3 times to confirm. The programmable ranges are: Ristretto 15-35 ml, Espresso 35-70 ml, Lungo 70-150 ml.

Descaling

- When used correctly, the Nespresso descaling product will ensure the proper operation of your machine throughout its service life and an optimal tasting experience, cup after cup.

- The Nespresso descaling product is specially designed for Nespresso machines; the use of any other unsuitable product would risk damaging the machine's components or provide insufficient descaling.

- Your Nespresso machine determines the moment when descaling is required, based on the quantity of water used and your water's hardness level. This level is defined during the first use by means of the water hardness test stick. Consider performing a new water hardness test if you are using your machine in another region or country.

  • Descale your machine as soon as it indicates that this is required. If you perform the operation too late, descaling may not be completely effective.
  • Descaling is mandatory when the machine indicates that this is required (blinking "Descaling" alert indicator light). To protect your machine's internal components, if descaling is not performed, after a few cycles, the "Descaling" alert indicator light lights up steadily and the machine locks itself until the descaling is performed. • Perform descaling according to the instructions. Send them to any new user of the machine. This user manual is available in PDF format on nespresso.com
