Descaling the machine

Warning. When descaling the ma-
chine, cover delicate surfaces and
natural flooring to prevent damage
from splashes of descaling solution.
Ensure that any splashes of descal-
ing solution are wiped up immedi-
ately.
Limescale builds up in the coffee ma-
chine through use. How often the ma-
chine needs to be descaled will depend
on the water hardness level in your
area. It should be descaled regularly to
ensure that it functions correctly.
The machine 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.
Descaling must be carried out. The
process takes approx. 12 minutes.

Make up 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 con-
tain other acids besides citric acid
and/or other undesirable substances,
such as chlorides for example, could
damage the coffee machine.
Moreover, the descaling effect re-
quired could not be guaranteed if the
descaling solution was not of the ap-
propriate concentration.
Miele descaling tablets are available to
order via the Miele webshop, from Miele
(see back cover for contact details) or
from your Miele dealer.
You will need one descaling tablet to
descale the machine.
