Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Therefore, please do not dispose of
your old appliance with your household
waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre.
Ensure that your old appliance presents
no danger to children while being
stored for disposal.

Technical safety
 A damaged coffee machine is dangerous. Check it for any visible
damage before setting it up. Never attempt to use a damaged coffee
machine.
 Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, make sure
that the rating on the data plate corresponds to the voltage and
frequency of the household supply. This data must correspond in
order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a
qualified electrician if in any doubt.
 The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
present and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the
household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified
electrician.
 Reliable and safe operation of the coffee machine can only be
guaranteed if it is connected to the mains electrical supply.
 Do not connect the machine to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee
the safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
 This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
 Unplug the machine from the power supply immediately if you
notice any damage or smell scorching, for example.
 Ensure that the mains connection cable cannot be pinched or
damaged by any sharp edges.
 The mains connection cable should not hang down. Someone
could trip over it with the risk of injury and the machine could be
damaged.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
 Only use the coffee machine in rooms where the ambient
temperature is between +10°C and +38°C.
 Danger of overheating! Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation
around the coffee machine. Do not cover it with tea towels etc.
whilst it is in use.
 If the coffee machine is installed behind a kitchen furniture door, it
may only be used with the furniture door open. This will prevent the
formation of heat and humidity and subsequent damage to the
appliance and/or furniture unit. Do not close the furniture door while
the coffee machine is in use. Ensure the coffee machine has cooled
down completely before closing the furniture door.
 Protect the coffee machine from water and water spray. Do not
immerse the machine in water.
 Repairs and other work by unqualified persons to the machine
and the connection cable could be dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for unauthorised work. Repairs may only be
carried out by a Miele authorised service technician.
 The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
Original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety
of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
 Before any repair work is carried out, the appliance must be
completely disconnected from the electricity supply. The appliance is
only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from
the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains
plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity
supply.
– the mains circuit breaker is switched off.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
 Never open the outer casing of the machine. Tampering with
electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly
dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults or electric
shock.
 Disconnect the coffee machine from the power supply if it is not
going to be used for a while, e.g. while on holiday.
 Use only Miele Original spare parts. If spare parts or accessories
from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be invalidated,
and Miele cannot accept liability.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
Correct use
The dispensing spouts present a danger of burning or
scalding.
The liquids and steam dispensed are very hot.
 Please note:
– Keep well away from the area underneath the spouts when hot
liquids and steam are being dispensed.
– Heating surfaces have residual heat after use. Do not touch hot
components.
– Hot liquid or steam could spatter from the nozzles. Ensure that
the central spout is clean and fitted correctly.
– Water in the drip tray can also be very hot. Take care when
emptying it.
CM6310: Never look directly at the lighting or use optical
instruments to look at it.
 Please note the following regarding water:
– Fill the water container only with fresh, cold tap water. Hot or
warm water or other liquids could damage the coffee machine.
– Change the water every day to prevent a build-up of bacteria.
– Do not use mineral water. Mineral water will cause serious
limescale deposits to build up in your machine and damage it.
– Do not use water from reverse osmosis units. The machine could
be damaged.
 Only fill the bean container with roasted espresso/coffee beans.
Do not fill the bean container with coffee beans which have been
treated with additives or with ground coffee.
Do not fill the bean container with any type of liquid.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
 Do not use green (unroasted) coffee beans or mixtures of coffee
beans which contain green coffee beans. Green coffee beans are
very hard and still contain a certain amount of residual moisture.
These can damage the coffee machine grinder as soon as grinding
begins.
 Do not use coffee beans which have been treated with caramel,
sugar or other substances. Sugar will damage the coffee machine.
 Only add ground coffee or cleaning tablets to the ground coffee
chute.
 Do not use any caramelised ready ground coffee. The sugar in the
coffee will stick to and block the brew unit of the coffee machine.
The cleaning tablets for degreasing the brew unit will not remove this
type of deposit.
 Only use milk without additives. Additives in milk usually contain
sugar and this will stick to the milk pipework.
 If using cow's milk, only use pasteurised milk to prevent a build-
up of bacteria in the appliance.
 Do not place any alcohol mixtures which are alight underneath the
central spout. The flames could ignite plastic components and cause
them to melt.
 Do not use naked flames, e.g. a candle, on or near the coffee
machine. The coffee machine could catch fire with the risk of the fire
spreading.
 The machine must not be used for cleaning objects.

Warning and Safety instructions
14
Cleaning and care
 Disconnect the coffee machine from the power supply before
cleaning.
 Clean the coffee machine and the milk flask (supplied as standard,
depending on model) daily, particularly before using for the first time
(see "Cleaning and care").
 All parts of the milk system need to be cleaned thoroughly and
regularly. Milk contains bacteria which proliferate rapidly with
inadequate cleaning.
 Do not clean the machine with a steam cleaner or immerse it in
water as this will damage the machine. Steam or water could reach
the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
 Avoid spillage on appliance connectors.
 Descale the coffee machine regularly depending on the water
hardness 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 which is not of the appropriate
concentration.
 Degrease the brew unit regularly with Miele cleaning tablets.
Depending 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
rubbish or on the compost heap. Do not empty them down the sink,
as they could block it.

Warning and Safety instructions
15
The following applies to appliances with stainless steel
surfaces:
 Do not adhere stickers, adhesive tape or any other adhesive
materials to stainless steel surfaces. The coating on the stainless
steel surfaces will become damaged and lose its protective
properties against soiling.
 Stainless steel scratches very easily and even magnets can cause
damage to the surface.

Water hardness
The water hardness level indicates how
much calcium is dissolved in the water.
The higher the calcium content, the
harder the water, and the harder the
water, the more often the coffee
machine will need to be descaled.
The coffee machine measures the
amount of water and steam used.
Depending on the level of water
hardness set, more or fewer drinks can
be dispensed before the appliance
needs to be descaled.
Programme the coffee machine to the
water hardness level of your area so
that it functions correctly and does not
get damaged. At the correct time a
prompt will then appear in the display
to descale the appliance.
The machine has four programmable
levels:
Water hardness Water
