Miele CVA 3650 installation instructions The descaling programme cannot, Descaling the machine

Descaling the machine

The display will guide you through the whole procedure. Please follow the instructions to, for example, empty the drip tray, fill the water container etc.

The descaling programme cannot

be cancelled once you have touched the OK sensor. The programme has to be completed through to the end. This is a safety measure to ensure that the machine is fully descaled, and is important for the long-term protection of the machine and to ensure it functions correctly.

To dissolve the descaling tablets

^take the water container out and fill it to the k mark with lukewarm water. (Do not use less water than this because this would cause the descaling programme to finish before it has been completed properly).

^Drop 2 descaling tablets in the water. Allow the tablets to dissolve fully before shutting the lid and putting the water container back in the machine.

^When prompted, remove the capsule plate and replace with the coloured descaling funnel.

The descaling procedure will not start for another 5 minutes or so. This time is needed to allow the descaling tablets to dissolve fully in the water. It will take longer than this to start if the appliance is too warm.

During descaling a little water and descaling agent will run out of the coffee and steam spouts. This is followed by an activation period, before more descaling agent is drained out, and so on. A message will appear in the display letting you know approximately how long this procedure will take.
