Descaling - Miele CVA 6800 Operating And Installation Instructions

Descaling

Limescale builds up in the coffee
machine during use. How often, will
depend on the hardness of the local
water supply. Limescale must be
removed regularly.
The machine will guide you through the
descaling procedure. Various
instructions will appear in the display,
e.g. you will be prompted to empty the
drip tray, fill the water container, etc.
Descaling must be carried out. The
process takes approx. 20 minutes.
During the descaling process, water
containing descaling agent will run out
of the central spout and the hot water
spout. This is followed by an activation
period before a little more water
containing descaling agent is
dispensed.
The coffee machine will remind you
when descaling needs to be carried
out. The following message will appear
in the display: "No. of uses until
descaling: 50". The remaining number
of drinks that can be made before
descaling will now show in the display
after each drink is made.
^ To confirm this message, touch "OK".
When 0 is reached, the coffee machine
will lock out. "Descale the appliance"
will appear in the display.
You can switch the coffee machine off if
you do not want to descale it at this
time. However, you will not be able to
make any more drinks until descaling
has been carried out.
