Important! When descaling the appli-
ance, 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.
Lime scale builds up in the coffee sys-
tem through use. How often the appli-
ance 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 appliance will guide you through
the descaling process. Various mes-
sages will appear in the display, e.g.
you will be prompted to empty the drip
tray or fill the water reservoir.

takes approx.20minutes.

Preparing 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. More-
over, the descaling effect required
may not be guaranteed if the descal-
ing solution is not of the appropriate
concentration.
Miele descaling tablets are available to
order via the Miele Webstore, from
Miele Service or from your Miele dealer.
