Sensitive surfaces and/or natural
floors can suffer damage.

When handling a cartridge which has
already been filled with water, ensure
that the descaling solution does not
come into contact with sensitive
surfaces.
The coffee machine has an automatic
maintenance programme for descaling
the appliance. For automatic descaling,
a Miele descaling cartridge is fitted at
the back of the coffee machine. The
coffee machine will automatically
determine when to carry out automatic
descaling based on the usage pattern.
Automatic descaling takes
approx. 30 minutes, including the
activation time.
You can set the time for automatic

Water is mixed with the descaling agent
to create a solution for automatic
descaling. This descaling solution is
then pumped through the pipework of
the coffee machine. After the activation
time, the solution is then rinsed out of
the pipework and the machine can then
be used as normal for making drinks.
During automatic descaling you will
hear pumping and rinsing noises at
frequent intervals even though the
appliance is switched off and the
display is dark.
If you do not make any drinks,
automatic descaling will not be started.

To ensure the longevity of
components and a consistent
environment free of limescale, the
coffee machine needs to be manually
descaled from time to time. The
intervals are determined by your
usage behaviour and the water
hardness level of your area. If you
make a lot of coffees with milk, for
example, you will need to descale the
coffee machine more frequently with
the descaling tablets.
