Frequently Asked Questions - Nescafé Dolce Gusto Genio S KRUPS

How do I descale my Dolce Gusto Genio S?

Use the official Nescafé Dolce Gusto descaling solution. Fill the water tank with 0.5 L of water and the descaling solution, then run the descaling program via the lever. Rinse by running 2 full tanks of fresh water.

What capsules can I use with the Genio S?

Only Nescafé Dolce Gusto capsules are compatible. Do not use other brands as they may damage the machine.

How do I clean the machine?

Clean the drip tray and capsule bin regularly with mild detergent. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Run a rinse cycle after each use to keep the nozzles clean.

Why is my coffee not hot enough?

Ensure the machine is preheated by running a water cycle. Use a pre-warmed cup. The water temperature is optimal after a short warm-up.

How do I adjust the cup height?

The drip tray can be removed or adjusted by placing it at different positions. Some models have a sliding mechanism; refer to your manual.

What does the red indicator light mean?

A red light may indicate the water tank is empty, the capsule bin is full, or descaling is needed. Check the manual for exact interpretation.

Can I make cold beverages with this machine?

Yes, the Genio S can make cold drinks. Use the cold water setting and suitable capsules like iced coffee or cold brew.

How do I reset the descaling indicator?

After descaling, the indicator normally resets automatically. If not, press and hold the lever for 5 seconds until the light turns off.

Where can I find spare parts?

Spare parts such as drip trays, water tanks, and capsule bins are available from Krups authorized service centers or online retailers.

Why is the machine leaking water?

Check that the water tank is properly seated, the capsule is correctly inserted, and the drip tray is not overfilled. If leakage persists, contact support.
