Descaling The Machine - Miele CVA 5060 Installation And Maintenance Manual

The machine should be descaled regularly to ensure that it
functions correctly. It will remind you when this needs to be
carried out.
When only 50 portions can be made before the next
descaling programme has to be run, the following message
will appear in the display the first time: No. of portions until
descaling: 50.
This message will now appear (counting down) after each
drink (coffee, espresso, cappuccino, hot water, milk froth) is
dispensed. If you let it run to 0, the machine will stop working
and the following will appear in the display: Descaling
programme must be carried out.
Touch the OK sensor to start the descaling
programme. If you do not have time to wait until
the descaling programme has finished (it takes
approx. 20 minutes) you can switch the machine off.
However, you will not be able to make any more drinks until
the descaling programme has been carried out.
Plumbed in machines automatically switch to water
container operation for the descaling programme.
Only use the descaling tablets supplied with the
machine. (Make sure you use the correct tablets - approx.
5 cm diameter, pack of 6). These have been specially
formulated for use in this coffee machine and are available
from the Miele Spare Parts Department or via the internet
at www.miele-shop.com.
Other types of descaling agents will damage the machine
and affect the taste.
Follow the instructions on the package carefully to avoid
damaging the machine.
Make sure that you wipe up any spillages or splashes of
descaling agent immediately to avoid damaging the
machine front.
After running the descaling programme, remember to
clean the water container and the drip tray thoroughly to
remove any descaling residues.
