The large ones are your descaling tablets. they go in your water container when the machine tells you to put them in there. Your small tablets are brew unit cleaning tablets. they go in to the flap door under the ground coffee storage container in the top left of the machine. One cleaning tablet at a time when it tells to to start cleaning. Two descaling tablets at a time during descaling.

Not enough water comes out when making coffee on Miele Cva 615

Your nozzles could be clogged or the percolator itself is clogged. Try to stick a toothpick into the nozzles to clear up any blockages, then perform a descale on the system using 2 large tablets. Make sure the tablets dissolve completely, if not you risk the chance of clogging the whole system.

It says drop the cleaning tablet in the funel What

When you purchased your machine it came with a small cardboard box full of maintenance items and the instruction manuals. the cleaning tablets are the small white tablets,(about the size of an advil). The descaling tablets are much bigger,( the diameter of a soda can). You drop one of the cleaning tablets into the funnel where you put pre ground coffee. If you dont have any cleaning tablets you can get them from mieleusa.com, or by calling 800 843 7231

The machine says to descale _ How do I do that???!!

THIS INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR THE MIELE CVA 615,

The coffee system must be descaled regularly. The time period depends on
the water hardness set. The appliance will display a reminder message and
will eventually lock if not descaled. The message window will first display:
"DESCALE AFTER COFFEES: 100".
This message will appear until the appliance is descaled or locks. When
the count is down to zero, the appliance will lock and the message
window displays: The appliance can only be used again
once descaling has been performed. Let the machine cool before
descaling. Remove the sleeve of the steam nozzle to avoid damage from
the descaling agent. Only use the enclosed descaling tablets for descaling.
The descaling tablets are specially designed for descaling this coffee
system. Other agents may damage the machine and affect the taste of
the coffee and hot water. The descaling tablets can be purchased
from Miele.
To prevent damage to the exterior of the machine wipe up any descaling
solution spills immediately! Add 2 liters of water to the water tank. Dissolve two of the enclosed
descaling tablets in the water.
^ Close the water tank and insert into position.
^ Close the door. The descaling will take place in the
automatic descaling program.
Automatic descaling
^ Turn the program selector
counterclockwise to the "Program
mode" position.Press e, to select "Descaling" with the asterisk. Press ENTER.

Machine locke in cleaning phase, how to release?

When the machine is in the cleaning phase you must let it stop on its own. Don't add water. If it is descaling it must complete 2 cycles. The descaling cycle and the rinsing cycle. If its doing a brew cleaning it has to finish the the 1 cycle. It will tell you what to do in the menu. Walk away and let it finish.

Meile Coffe System Descaling

The big tablets are for descaling, and go in the water jug, the small ones for cleaning the brew unit, and pop in the top. The boxes that they come in should tell you what they are - in many languages!
Do you have the instruction book?

Descaling a Miele Coffee maker

Put them in the water chamber then they dissolve and you run they cycle. I would cycle through a second time also with water only to flush the system out.

hope that helps.
