Your Nespresso machine calculates when a descale is necessary based on the amount of water used and your water hardness level. This is set at the first use with the help of the water hardness test stick. Make sure to test the water hardness again if you use your machine in another state/region.
Make sure you descale your machine as soon as the machine requests it; a late descaling procedure may not be completely efficient.
