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.
~Do not connect the machine to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These are a fire hazard and
do not guarantee the required safety of the machine.
~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.
~This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
Warning and Safety instructions
9

~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. Do not close the
furniture door while the coffee machine is in use.
~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, or it is switched off at the isolator.
–the mains fuse is disconnected.
–the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is
applicable).
Warning and Safety instructions
10

~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.
Correct use
,The 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.
– 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.
~Clean the coffee machine thoroughly before using for the first
time (see "Cleaning and care").
Warning and Safety instructions
11

~To avoid the risk of damage to the machine, please note the
following regarding water:
–Fill the water container with fresh, cold tap water only. 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 a reverse osmosis unit in this machine.
~Only fill the bean container with roasted espresso or coffee
beans. Do not fill the bean container with coffee beans which have
been treated or with ground coffee.
~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. The cleaning tablets are used for degreasing the brew unit.
~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.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

~Please note the following with regard to cleaning the coffee
machine:
–Disconnect the coffee machine from the power supply before
cleaning.
–Clean the coffee machine and the milk flask daily (see "Cleaning
and care").
–Ensure that all components in which milk is transported are
cleaned on a regular basis.
Milk naturally contains bacteria that rapidly multiply if the milk
pipework is not cleaned properly. Soiling in the appliance may be
dangerous to health.
– Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this machine. Steam could
reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
~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 put with the organic rubbish or
on the compost heap, but not emptied down the sink, as they could
block it.
~The machine must not be used for cleaning objects.

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:
