Descaling The Machine - Miele Built-in coffee machine Operating And Installation Instructions

Descaling the machine

Limescale builds up in the coffee
machine through use. How often the
appliance needs to be descaled will
depend on the water hardness level in
your area. The machine should be
descaled regularly to ensure that it
functions correctly.
The appliance will guide you through
the descaling process. Various
messages will appear in the display,
e.g. you will be prompted to empty the
drip tray or fill the water container.
The descaling process is essential and
takes approx. 20 minutes.
During the descaling process, water
containing descaling agent comes out
of the central spout and the hot water
spout. This is followed by an activation
period before a little more descaling
agent is dispensed.
The coffee machine prompts you when
it needs to be descaled. "No. of
portions until appliance needs
descaling: 50" appears in the display.
Each time a drink is prepared, the
coffee machine displays the number of
portions remaining until descaling must
be carried out.
^ Touch the OK sensor to confirm this
message.
When the number of remaining portions
reaches 0, the appliance will lock out.
Then "Descale appliance" will appear in
the display.
You can switch off the coffee machine if
you do not want to descale it at this
point in time. However, you will be able
to prepare drinks only after descaling
has been carried out.
