Descaling the machine
The machine should be descaled regularly to ensure that it functions correctly. It will remind you when this needs to be carried out.
When only 50 portions can be made before the next descaling programme has to be run, the following message will appear in the display: No. of portions until descaling: 50.
This message will now appear (counting down) after each drink (coffee, espresso, steam, hot water) has been dispensed.
^Confirm the message by touching the OK sensor.
If you let it run to 0, the machine will stop working and "Descale - Start" will appear in the display.
You cannot make any more drinks until the descaling programme has been carried out.

To descale the machine, you require descaling tablets and the coloured descaling funnel.
Only use the descaling tablets supplied with the machine. (Make sure you use the correct tablets - approx. 5 cm diameter, pack of 6). These have been specially formulated for use in this coffee machine and are available from your Miele dealer, the Miele Spare Parts Department or via the internet on
Other types of descaling agents will damage the machine and affect the taste.
Follow the instructions on the package carefully to avoid damaging the machine.
Make sure that you wipe up any spillages or splashes of descaling agent immediately to avoid damaging the machine front.
After running the descaling programme, remember to clean the water container and the drip tray thoroughly to remove any descaling residues.
