Automatic cleaning and descaling
88
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 Miele descaling cartridge will last
for up to 12months of automatic
descaling, depending on how often the
coffee machine is used.
You can display the cartridge fill level as
a segment bar under Settings | Info| Fill
levels. As the cartridge fill level
decreases, various messages will
appear at regular intervals to remind
you to have a new cartridge at the
ready.
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 machine”).
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 max. shelf life of
3weeks outside of the machine.
- It should be transported with care
and upright. Avoid shaking it.
Shaking or turning upside down
reduces the shelf life or damages the
cartridge.
- The cartridge should be stored
upright, in a dark place and at room
temperature (16-38°C).
