NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® yellow light, what does it mean?

If your coffee machine is displaying a yellow light instead of the usual green one, it’s time for descaling. The machine will do this depending on the number of times it’s been used and regular descaling helps to keep it in good working order. Simply purchase the correct descaling equipment recommended for your machine, run through the descaling process, then the next time you use it, the light will return to green.

I’ve just opened my new machine and think that one of the parts is missing

Please re-check the box in case the missing part is still in there and, if it is not, please return the entire machine to its point of purchase for a replacement.
