Automatic cleaning and descaling
83
Automatic descaling
Automatic descaling takes
approx.2hours, including the activation
phase.
To ensure the longevity of
components and a machine
consistently free of limescale, the
coffee machine needs to be manually
descaled from time to time. The
intervals are determined by your
usage patterns and the water
hardness level of your area. If you
make a lot of coffees with milk, for
example, you will need to descale the
coffee machine more frequently with
the descaling tablets.
The Miele descaling cartridge
Only use the Miele descaling
cartridge for the automatic descaling
programme.
Please note that the Miele descaling
cartridge has a storage life of approx.
one year after it has been placed in
the machine and filled with water for
the first time. Critical for the one-year
storage life is the date on which the
descaling cartridge was fitted and
filled with water.
Do not use a descaling cartridge
which has already been used in
another Miele coffee machine. Your
coffee machine will have no
information about the fill level of this
cartridge. The descaling effect may
be insufficient and damage your
coffee machine.
Do not fill the descaling cartridge
with other fluids or substances.
The descaling agent comes in the form
of tablets in the descaling cartridge.
The cartridge is filled with water when it
is placed in the machine. The tablets
gradually dissolve over time.
The descaling cartridge will last for up
to 12months of automatic descaling,
depending on how often the coffee
machine is used.
You can display the fill level of the
cartridge as a segment bar under
Settings | Info| Fill levels. As the fill level
of the cartridge drops, various
messages are displayed at regular
intervals to remind you to purchase a
new cartridge.
The descaling cartridge is available to
order from the Miele online shop or
directly from Miele (see back cover for
contact details).
If a descaling cartridge is not fitted,
an empty cartridge is fitted or an
expired cartridge is fitted, the
machine needs to be descaled using
the Descale the appliance maintenance
programme. To do this, the
appropriate descaling agent is
required (see “Cleaning and care -
Descaling the appliance”).
The descaling cartridge can remain
fitted even if the machine is not used for
a long time. Remove the cartridge
before transporting the coffee machine.
Please note:
– Once filled with water, the descaling
cartridge has a maximum storage life
of three weeks outside of the
machine.
