often contain valuable materials. They
also 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. Please
do not therefore dispose of it with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for

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 coffee machine 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 machine. Consult a qualified
electrician if in any doubt.
~The electrical safety of this coffee machine can only be
guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard
safety requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical
installation tested 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 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 damage the machine.
Warning and Safety instructions
9

~The coffee machine must not be used in mobile installations such
as ships.
~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 machine when Miele replacement parts are used.
Warning and Safety instructions
10

~The machine must be disconnected from the electricity supply
during repair work.
~Disconnect the coffee machine from the power supply if it is not
going to be used for a while.
~Only use genuine original Miele accessories with this machine.
Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers will
invalidate the guarantee, 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 spouts. 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
11

~Clean the coffee machine thoroughly before using for the first
time (see "Cleaning and care").
~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/coffee beans.
Do not fill the bean container with coffee beans which have been
treated with additives or with ground coffee.
~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 including sugary liquids. 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.
~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.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

~Only use milk without additives. Additives in milk usually contain
sugar and this will stick to the milk pipework.
~If using dairy milk make sure that it has been pasteurised.
~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.
~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 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
13

~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.
~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 used and steam made.
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 Descriptive
