Descaling the appliance
The coffee system must be descaled regularly. The time period depends on the water hardness set. The appliance will display a reminder message and will eventually lock if not descaled.
Once the system is at the point where only 50 drinks can be prepared before descaling must be performed, the display will show "50 no. of uses until descaling has to be done". This message will appear and countdown after each drink. When the count is to zero, the coffee system will lock and the left display will show "Descale" k . The right display will show "confirm to start".
The appliance can only be used again once descaling is performed.
Only use the enclosed descaling tablets for descaling. The descaling tablets are specially designed for this coffee system. The descaling tablets can be purchased from your local Miele dealer or Miele.
Other agents may damage the machine and affect the taste of coffee and hot water.
Be sure that the correct mixture of descaling agent and water are used to prevent damage to the machine.
To prevent damage to the exterior wipe up any descaling solution spills immediately!
Thoroughly clean the water tank and the drip tray of descaling residue.
