Descaling the machine

Make up 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
contain other acids besides citric
acid and/or other undesirable
substances, such as chlorides for
example, could damage the coffee
machine. Moreover, the descaling
effect required could not be
guaranteed if the descaling solution
was not of the appropriate
concentration.
Miele descaling tablets are available to
order from Miele or via the internet at
www.miele-shop.com.
You will need one descaling tablet to
descale the machine.

symbol with lukewarm water.

Follow the instructions for the mixing
ratio carefully. It is important that you
do not fill the water container with
too much or too little water.
Otherwise the descaling process will
be cancelled prematurely.

make sure you wipe up any spillages
or splashes of descaling agent
immediately.
