Descaling solution
Only use the enclosed descaling
tablets for descaling. They are
specially developed for the coffee
system to optimize the descaling.
The descaling tablets can be
purchased from Miele.
Other agents may damage the
machine and affect the taste of
coffee and hot water.
The machine could also be
damaged.
Follow the instructions on the
descaling agent packaging closely.
Be sure to fill the water container
with enough water, using too little
water can cause the descaling
program to be stopped prematurely.
One descaling tablet will be needed to
descale this machine.
