depend on the water hardness level in

descaled regularly to ensure that it
functions correctly.

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. 12 minutes.

Creating the descaling solution
We recommend using Miele descaling
tablets for optimum results.
These have been specially developed
for use with Miele coffee machines and
prevent subsequent damage.
Other descaling agents, which
contain other acids besides citric
acid and/or other undesirable
substances, such as chlorides for
example, could damage the coffee
machine. Moreover, the descaling
effect required could not be
guaranteed if the descaling solution
was not of the appropriate
concentration.
Miele descaling tablets are available to
order from Miele or via the internet at
www.miele-shop.com.
You will need one descaling tablet to
