Important Safety Information
Please read and adhere to the following safety guidelines before using the descaler tablets:
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
- Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water.
- Do not ingest. If swallowed, seek immediate medical attention.
- Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Always follow the specific descaling instructions provided in your Miele appliance's user manual.
Usage Instructions
The descaling process for Miele appliances, such as coffee machines and steam ovens, is typically guided by the appliance's internal programming. Refer to your specific Miele appliance's operating manual for detailed, model-specific descaling instructions. The general procedure involves the following steps:
- Preparation: Ensure your Miele appliance is turned off and cooled down. Empty any water reservoirs or drip trays as instructed by your appliance.
- Initiate Descaling Program: Access the descaling program or function on your Miele appliance's display or control panel. The appliance will guide you through the necessary steps.
- Prepare Descaling Solution: Dissolve the recommended number of Miele descaling tablets (usually one or two, as specified by your appliance's manual) in the water reservoir with the amount of lukewarm water indicated by the appliance. Stir gently until the tablets are fully dissolved.
- Start Descaling Cycle: Place a suitable container under the appliance's spout(s) to collect the descaling solution. Start the descaling cycle as prompted by the appliance. The process may take some time, involving several rinsing phases.
- Rinsing: After the descaling cycle is complete, thoroughly rinse the water reservoir and fill it with fresh, clean water. Run several rinsing cycles through the appliance as instructed to ensure all descaling solution residue is removed.
- Completion: Once the rinsing cycles are finished, your appliance is ready for use. Dispose of the collected descaling solution and rinse water responsibly.
Maintenance and Frequency
Regular descaling is a critical part of maintaining your Miele appliance. For Miele coffee machines, it is generally recommended to descale every 500-1000 cups of coffee, or as indicated by your appliance's descaling reminder. For steam ovens, follow the descaling prompts on the appliance's display. The frequency may vary depending on the hardness of your local water supply and the intensity of appliance use. Consistent descaling prevents limescale buildup, which can impair heating efficiency, reduce water flow, and potentially damage internal components.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during or after the descaling process, consider the following:
- Descaling Reminder Persists: Ensure all rinsing cycles have been completed as per your appliance's instructions. Sometimes, a second rinse cycle is necessary.
- Appliance Not Functioning Correctly After Descaling: Verify that the water reservoir is properly seated and filled with fresh water. Check for any error messages on the appliance display and consult your appliance's specific manual for error code interpretations.
- Incomplete Descaling: If significant limescale buildup was present, a single descaling cycle might not be sufficient. You may need to repeat the descaling process.
- Tablet Not Dissolving: Ensure the water used is lukewarm and stir gently to aid dissolution. Do not force dissolution or use hot water unless specified by your appliance manual.
For persistent issues, refer to your Miele appliance's comprehensive troubleshooting guide or contact Miele customer support.
