Descaling the machine
Risk of damage from spilt descaling
solution.
Sensitive surfaces and/or natural
floors can suffer damage.
Wipe up any spillages of descaling
agent immediately.
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. Limescale must be removed
regularly.
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.
Descaling must be carried out. The
process takes approx. 15 minutes.
The coffee machine will give you plenty
of warning when it needs to be
descaled. As of this point, the display
will indicate how many more drinks can
be made before descaling becomes
absolutely essential. This number is
indicated whenever a drink is made.
Confirm the message with OK.
When the number of remaining portions
reaches 0, the coffee machine will lock
out.
You can switch the coffee machine off if
you do not want to run the descaling
programme at this point in time. You can
not make any drinks until the machine
has been descaled.

For optimum descaling results, we
recommend using the Miele descaling
tablets.
The descaling tablets have been
specially developed for Miele coffee
machines.
Other descalers, which contain other
acids besides citric acid and/or other
undesirable substances, such as
chlorides for example, can cause
damage to the product. 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 online shop, from
the Miele Customer Service
Department or from your Miele dealer.
You will need 1 descaling tablet to
descale the machine.
