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.15minutes.
After 200 portions have been
dispensed, Degrease the brew unit and
clean inside the machine will appear in the
display.
 TouchOK to confirm the message.
This notification appears at regular
intervals. Once the maximum possible

You can switch the coffee machine off if
you do not want to carry out the
cleaning programme at this time.
However, you will be not be able to
make any more drinks until the brew
unit has been degreased.

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