Capsule plate
How quickly the capsule plate
becomes soiled will depend on the
content of natural oils in the coffee
used. It should be cleaned whenever
the machine is descaled or more often
if necessary using the cleaning tablets
supplied with the machine. (Make sure
you use the correct tablets - approx.
1 cm diameter, pack of 10). Cleaning
tablets are available from your Miele
Dealer, the Miele Spare Parts
Department, via the internet on
www.miele-shop.com, or from
Nespresso.
^ Press on the ribbed part a, and pull
the capsule plate b forwards to
remove it.
^ Fill a small container with hot water
and dissolve one cleaning tablet
(approx. 1 cm diameter, pack or 10)
in it.
^ Place the capsule plate in the
cleaning solution and leave for
approx. one hour.
^ Once the coffee remains have been
removed, rinse it thoroughly and dry
it.
^ Push the capsule plate back into the
machine. It must click into position.
Steam valve
The small rubber sleeve which
connects the steam valve with the milk
frother can be removed for cleaning.
The sleeve and also the tip of the steam
valve underneath the sleeve should be
cleaned regularly.
^ Push the steam valve down and pull
the rubber sleeve off downwards.
^ Use a mild solution of hot water and
washing-up liquid to clean the rubber
sleeve and the tip of the steam valve.
^ Dry them and then put the sleeve
back onto the tip of the steam valve.
Make sure that the sleeve sits
securely onto the tip.
^ Push the steam valve back upwards.
If you forget to push it back up, it
could break when you shut the
machine front.
