Degreasing the brew unit and
cleaning inside
Depending on the natural oil content of
the coffee used, the brew unit can
become blocked quite quickly. It must
be degreased regularly in order to
ensure aromatic coffee and trouble-free
operation of the coffee machine.
We recommend using Miele cleaning
tablets to clean the brew unit. These
have been specially developed for use
with Miele coffee machines and prevent
subsequent damage.
Miele cleaning tablets can be ordered
via the Miele webshop, from Miele (see
back cover for contact details) or from
your Miele dealer.
The maintenance programme for
degreasing the brew unit lasts for
approx.12minutes.
After 200 portions have been
dispensed, Degrease the brew unit will
appear in the display.
 Confirm the message with OK.
The message will appear at regular
intervals. Once the maximum possible
number of portions has been reached,
the coffee machine will lock out.
You can switch the coffee machine off if
you do not want to carry out the
maintenance programme at this point in
time. You will only be able to make
coffee drinks again once the the brew
unit has been degreased.

Cleaning the brew unit and interior
To ensure good tasting coffee and to

machine, remove and clean the brew
unit under running water once a week.

under warm running water. Do not
use washing-up liquid or any other
cleaning agent.

 Press and hold the button under the
brew unit handle and, whilst doing
