The Miele Descaling Cartridge
Only use the Miele Descaling
Cartridge for the automatic descaling
program.
Please note that the Miele Descaling
Cartridge has a service life of
approx.1year after it has been
placed in the coffee machine and
filled with water for the first time. The
date on which the descaling
cartridge was installed and filled with
water determines the one-year
service life.
Do not install 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 coffee machine. The
tablets gradually dissolve over time.
The Miele Descaling Cartridge will last
for 7to12months of automatic
descaling, depending on how often the
coffee machine is used.
A prompt will appear in the display
shortly before the cartridge is depleted,
reminding you that it needs to be
replaced. Confirm the message
withOK. After this first message,
6more descaling programs are
possible.
The Miele Descaling Cartridge is
available to order from the Miele online
shop, from Miele Customer Service, or
from your Miele dealer.
If a descaling cartridge is not installed,
an empty cartridge is installed, or an
expired cartridge is installed, the
coffee machine needs to be descaled
using the Descale the appliance
maintenance program. To do this, the
appropriate descaling agent is
required (see “Descaling the machine”
in “Cleaning and care”).
The descaling cartridge can remain
installed even if the machine is not used
for a long time. Remove the cartridge
before transporting the coffee machine.
However, please note the following:
- Once filled with water, the descaling
cartridge has a maximum shelf life of
max.3weeks outside of the coffee
machine.
- The descaling cartridge should be
transported with care and upright.
Avoid shaking it. Shaking or turning
upside down reduces the service life
or damages the cartridge.
- The cartridge should be stored
upright, in a dark place, and at room
temperature (61–100°F (16–38°C)).
