Preparing the descaling solution
For optimum descaling results, we
recommend using the Miele descaling
tablets provided.
The descaling tablets have been
specially developed for Miele coffee
machines.
Other descaling agents, which
contain other acids besides citric
acid and/or other undesirable
substances, such as chlorides, may
cause damage to the appliance.
Moreover, the descaling result
required cannot be guaranteed if the
descaling solution was not of the
appropriate concentration.
Miele descaling tablets are available to
order via the Miele webshop or directly
from Miele (see the end of this booklet
for contact details).
You will need 2 descaling tablets for the
descaling process.
