The MEG experiment at PSI is searching for the lepton-flavour violating decay of the muon into an electron-gamma pair. It is expected to take physics data during the years 2008-2011. From the first three months of data at the end of 2008, we got an upper limit BR(μ+ → e+ + γ) ≤ 3.0 × 10-11 (90% C.L.). The core of the MEG experiment is an innovative gamma-ray detector, this is a large acceptance and large mass (roughly 2.2 Tons) liquid xenon volume read by photo-multiplier tubes, which is used to measure the photon energy and the position and time of its first conversion. The operation of the detector during the 2008 run will be presented together with several calibration techniques developed to monitor its stability and behaviour during experimental data taking.
