Step-by-step guides

What the manual does not say

8 jobs with nothing stated
  • Backflush (detergent)
  • Backflush (water)
  • Boiler water change
  • Professional service
  • Shower screen clean
  • Shower screen replacement
  • Water filter / softener replacement
  • Water tank clean
Notes from the research
  • No backflush guidance in either MiiCoffee manual, despite the 3-way solenoid valve.
  • Two manual revisions disagree on descaling: v2 prompts 'CLn' after 500 uses; v1 says every 2-3 months. Both recorded, v2 preferred.
  • No shower screen, gasket or professional-service interval; drip tray, portafilter and group cleaning have no frequency.
