Important instructions for use
Appropriate use
 This coffee machine is intended for home use.
 The machine is intended only for domestic use and for the
preparation of drinks such as espresso, cappuccino, latte macchiato,
tea, etc. All other types of use are not permitted.
Safety with children
 Keep in mind that espresso and coffee are not suitable drinks for
children.
 Danger of suffocation. While playing, children may become
entangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull
the packaging material over their head, presenting the risk of
suffocation. Keep packaging material away from children.
Technical safety
 Damage to the coffee machine can compromise your safety.
Before installing the appliance, check it for visible signs of damage.
Do not use a damaged coffee machine.
 Before connecting the coffee machine, make sure that the
connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) matches
that of the domestic electrical supply.
This data must match to prevent the coffee machine from being
damaged. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
 The electrical safety of this coffee machine can only be
guaranteed when correctly grounded. It is essential that this basic
safety requirement is fulfilled. If in doubt, the electrical installation
should be checked by a qualified electrician.
10

Important instructions for use
 Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power
supply system or a power supply system that is not synchronized
with the grid power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems)
is possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply
system complies with the specifications of EN50160 or an
equivalent local standard.
The function and operation of the protective measures provided in
the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must
also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not
synchronized with the grid power supply, or these measures must be
replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described, for
example, in the current version of VDE-AR-E 2510-2 or an equivalent
local standard.
 Do not connect the coffee machine to the domestic electrical
supply using a multi-socket adapter or an extension cord. These do
not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (risk of fire).
 The coffee machine may not be used in mobile installations such
as ships.
 Unplug the coffee machine from the domestic electrical supply
immediately if you notice any damage or smell scorching, for
example.
 Only use the coffee machine in rooms where the ambient
temperature is between +50°F (10°C) and +100°F (38°C).
 Position the coffee machine at a height of at least 33
7/16" (850mm) from the floor.
 Danger of overheating. Please ensure that there is adequate
ventilation around the coffee machine. Do not cover the coffee
machine with dish towels, etc. while it is in use.
11

Important instructions for use
 If the coffee machine is installed behind a closed cabinet door
front, it may only be used with the cabinet door open (see
“Installation” for the minimum niche size). Heat and moisture can
build up behind the cabinet door front when closed. This can result
in damage to the machine and/or cabinetry. Do not close the
cabinet door while the coffee machine is in use. Leave the cabinet
door open until the coffee machine has cooled down completely.
 Repairs, including on the power supply cable, are only to be
carried out by Miele authorized technicians. Repairs by unqualified
persons can cause considerable danger to users.
 No user serviceable parts are contained in this appliance. Repairs
should be carried out by a qualified technician using genuine Miele
Parts. Failure to do so may create a hazardous condition and can
result in voiding the warranty.
 While the coffee machine is under warranty, repairs should only
be undertaken by a service technician authorized by Miele Service.
Otherwise the warranty will be invalidated.
 For repairs, the coffee system must be disconnected from the
domestic electrical supply.
The coffee machine is only disconnected from the domestic
electrical supply if
- The coffee machine plug has been removed from the socket.
To do this, pull only the plug, not the power supply cable.
- The circuit breakers to the domestic electrical supply are turned
off.
- Any circuit breakers in the domestic electrical supply are fully
unscrewed.
 Do not open the coffee machine housing under any
circumstances. Any contact with live connections or tampering with
the electrical or mechanical components of the coffee machine will
endanger your safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions.
12

Important instructions for use
 This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS
standard(s) and part15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
The construction of the device assures that the FCC exposure limits
are verifiably met using the integrated Wi-Fi module EK037.
Contains:
FCC ID: 2ACUWEK037
IC ID: 5669C-EK037
Correct use
Danger of burning and scalding on the dispensing spouts.
The liquids and steam dispensed are very hot.
Keep away from the area underneath the spouts when hot liquids
and steam are being dispensed.
Do not touch hot components.
Hot liquid or steam could spatter from the nozzles. Ensure that the
central spout is clean and installed correctly.
Water in the drip tray can also be very hot. Take care when
emptying it.
Risk of injury to the eyes!
Never look directly at the lighting or use optical instruments (e.g.,
magnifying glass) to look at it.
 Please note the following regarding water:
- The water quality must conform to the requirements for drinking
water in the country in which the coffee machine is being used.
- Only use cold, fresh tap water to fill the water container. Hot or
warm water or other liquids can damage the coffee machine.
- Change the water every day to prevent a build-up of bacteria.
13

Important instructions for use
- Do not use sparkling water.
 Only put roasted coffee beans in the bean container. Do not place
coffee beans which have been treated with additives or ground
coffee inside the bean containers.
 Do not fill the bean container with any type of liquid.
 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 residual moisture. These can damage the
coffee machine grinder as soon as grinding begins.
 Do not use coffee beans that have been treated with sugar,
caramel, or other substances and do not put liquids containing sugar
in the coffee machine. Sugar will damage the appliance.
 Only fill the coffee chute with ground coffee beans.
 Do not use caramelized ground coffee. This contains sugar which
can clog the coffee machine’s brew unit. The cleaning tablet for
degreasing the brew unit does not remove these residues.
 The milk used must not contain any additives. Most additives
contain sugar which would stick to the milk pipework.
 If using dairy milk make sure that it has been pasteurized.
 When making tea, please follow the instructions on the tea
packaging.
 Do not place flaming alcohol mixtures underneath the central
spout. The flames could ignite plastic components and cause them
to melt.
 Do not use open flames, such as a candle, on or near the coffee
machine. The coffee machine could catch fire with the risk of the fire
spreading.
 Do not use the coffee machine to clean any other objects.
14

Important instructions for use
Cleaning and care
 Refer to the relevant instructions in “Cleaning and care”.
 Clean the coffee machine and the milk flask (supplied as standard,
depending on model) daily, particularly before using for the first time.
 Ensure that all components in which milk is transported are
cleaned carefully on a regular basis. Milk naturally contains bacteria
that rapidly multiply if the milk pipework is not cleaned properly.
 Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance. The steam
could reach live electrical components and cause a short circuit.
 Descale the coffee machine regularly depending on the water
hardness. Descale the appliance more frequently if you use hard
water. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from not
descaling the machine, using the wrong descaling agent, or an
unsuitable descaling solution concentration.
 Degrease the brew unit regularly with the cleaning tablets.
Depending on the natural oil content of the coffee used, the brew
unit can become blocked quite quickly.
 The espresso/coffee grounds must be disposed of in the organic
waste or compost, not in the sink. The drain can clog up as a result.
15

Important instructions for use
Accessories and spare parts
 Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used,
warranty, performance, and/or product liability claims will be
invalidated.
 Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when original
Miele parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced with
genuine Miele replacement parts.
 Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a
minimum of 10years and up to 15years following the
discontinuation of your coffee machine.
For coffee machines with stainless steel surfaces:
 Do not use sticky notes, adhesive tape, or other types of adhesive
on the stainless steel surfaces.
 Stainless steel surfaces are susceptible to scratching. Even
magnets can cause scratches.
