Cleaning And Care - Miele CVA6401 Operating And Installation Instructions

Cleaning and care


The coffee system must be disconnected from the electrical sup‐
ply before cleaning or maintenance.

Clean the coffee system and the milk flask thoroughly before us‐
ing for the first time (see "Cleaning and care").

Ensure that all components in which milk is transported, including
the milk pipework and milk flask, are cleaned on a regular basis (see
"Cleaning and care").
Milk naturally contains bacteria that rapidly multiply if the milk pipe‐
work is not cleaned properly. Soiling in the appliance may be dan‐
gerous to health.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this machine. Steam could
reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Descale the coffee system regularly depending on the water hard‐
ness level in your area. Descale the machine more frequently in
areas with very hard water. Miele cannot be held liable for damage
arising from insufficient descaling, the use of incorrect descaling
agent or the use of descaling agent that is not of the appropriate
concentration.

Degrease the brew unit regularly with Miele cleaning tablets. De‐
pending on the natural oil content of the coffee used, the brew unit
can become blocked quite quickly.

Used coffee grounds should be disposed of with the organic rub‐
bish or on the compost heap. Do not empty them down the sink, as
they could block it.
