Cleaning and care
Descaling
Only use citric acid agents for descaling.
Do not use vinegar or descaling agents containing vinegar or acetic acid; they will damage the appliance.
^Use a household descaling agent containing citric acid diluted with water to make 1 quart (1 l) of solution, or contact Miele to order descaling tablets. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
^Place the solution in the water container and push it into the machine until it engages.
^Turn the program selector to DESCALE k.
A small j will appear in the display next to the symbol for descaling k and a program time of 33 minutes will also appear. At the same time the light bar between the Stop and Start buttons will illuminate.
^Press Start.
The descaling program can only be canceled during the 1st minute after pressing the Start button. A new program cannot be selected until the descaling program has been completed.
Do not turn the program selector during the descaling process. If it is turned before the end of the program the entire process will have to be restarted.
