Cleaning and care
Cleaning the brew unit
Depending on the oil content of the coffee, the brew unit can clog. Clean the brew unit approx. every 200 cups with the enclosed detergent tablets. They are specially developed for the coffee maker to optimize the degreasing. The cleaning tablets can be purchased from Miele.
As a reminder the display shows "Please run cleaning program" after 200 cups and then until the machine is cleaned.
The cleaning process takes about 6 minutes.
Maintenance
Tap < or > until "Maintenance " is highlighted, confirm with OK.
Select "Clean brew unit", confirm with OK.
Select "Start", confirm with OK.
Follow the instructions in the display.
To avoid having to empty the drip tray too frequently, place the small cleaning container beneath the main dispenser.
The inside of the machine is also rinsed, therefore you will still have to empty the drip tray when prompted during the cleaning process.
When the display prompts you to
Please drop the cleaning tablet in the ground coffee funnel.
Remove the storage drawer and open the funnel lid.
Drop a cleaning tablet into the funnel.
Close the lid, replace the drawer, and close the machine door.
Follow the instructions in the display.
When the display shows Prog. finished, tap OK.
The brew unit is now degreased, and the machine is ready for use.
