Degreasing the brew unit and
cleaning the interior
The brew unit must be degreased
regularly in order to ensure aromatic
coffee and trouble-free operation of the
coffee machine. Depending on the
natural oil content of the coffee used,
the brew unit can become blocked
quite quickly.
You can run the maintenance program
with the Miele Cleaning Cartridge or
with cleaning tablets for degreasing the
brew unit. The maintenance program
lasts for approx. 10minutes.
If you have switched on automatic
cleaning and inserted a ready-to-use
cleaning cartridge, the Degrease the
brew unit maintenance program will run
using the cleaning cartridge.
If you have not inserted a Miele
Cleaning Cartridge, the following
message will appear in the display after
200portions: Degrease the brew unit.
Confirm the message withOK.
This message will keep being displayed
until the brew unit has been degreased.
