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.
The message window will first display: "DESCALE AFTER COFFEES: 100“.
^Add 2 liters of water to the water tank. Dissolve two of the enclosed descaling tablets in the water.
^Close the water tank and insert into position.
^Close the door.
The descaling will take place in the automatic descaling program.
Automatic descaling
This message will appear until the appliance is descaled or locks. When the count is down to zero, the appliance will lock and the message window displays:
The appliance can only be used again once descaling has been performed.
Let the machine cool before descaling. Remove the sleeve of the steam nozzle to avoid damage from the descaling agent.
Only use the enclosed descaling tablets for descaling.
The descaling tablets are specially designed for descaling this coffee system. Other agents may damage the machine and affect the taste of the coffee and hot water. The descaling tablets can be purchased from Miele.
To prevent damage to the exterior of the machine wipe up any descaling solution spills immediately!
^Turn the program selector counterclockwise to the "Program mode" position.
^Press e, to select "Descaling" with the asterisk.
^Press ENTER.
