Cleaning and care

Refer to the relevant instructions in "Cleaning and care".

Clean the coffee machine and the milk flask (supplied as standard,
depending on model) daily, particularly before using for the first time.

Ensure that all components in which milk is transported are
cleaned carefully on a regular basis. Milk naturally contains bacteria
that rapidly multiply if the milk pipework is not cleaned properly.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance. The steam
could reach live electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Descale the coffee machine regularly depending on the water
hardness. Descale the appliance more frequently if you use hard
water. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from not
descaling the machine, using the wrong descaling agent, or an
unsuitable descaling solution concentration.

Degrease the brew unit regularly with the cleaning tablets.
Depending on the natural oil content of the coffee used, the brew
unit can become blocked quite quickly.

The espresso / coffee grounds must be disposed of in the organic
waste or compost, not in the sink. The drain can clog up as a result.
