Turn off and on again

- turn the machine off by holding the button for 3 seconds and press it again to turn it on, as the manual instructs.
- Result that matters:

- If it will not turn off:
- hold the button for at least 7 seconds to exit descaling mode.

Evidence: Vertuo Next user manual (US)
Wait approximately 20 minutes
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- leave the machine unused for about 20 minutes so it cools down after extensive use.
- Result that matters:
- whether the light returns to normal.
- If the light is normal:
- it was cooling after heavy use.
- If the pattern remains after waiting:
- note it.
- Evidence to keep:
- a photo or video of the light after waiting.
Evidence: Vertuo Next user manual (US)
Watch for repeats with light use
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- use the machine normally and note whether the pattern returns without many coffees in a row.
- Result that matters:
- knowing whether it only appears after heavy use.
- If it only appears after many coffees:
- it is the described behaviour.

- contact Nespresso.
- Evidence to keep:
- a list of dates and coffees brewed.

What it means
The Vertuo Next manual describes the orange light fading to off and then on again as cooling down after overheating. After extensive use the machine protects its heating system and waits for the temperature to drop before going on. It is not a fault: the manual asks you to turn it off, turn it on and wait approximately 20 minutes. Only if the alert appears without heavy use or does not go away does it make sense to ask for a check.
