The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for damage caused by
improper use of the appliance.
Electrical safety
~Before connecting the appliance to
the electrical supply make sure that the
voltage and frequency listed on the
data plate correspond with the
household electrical supply. If in doubt,
consult a qualified technician.
~The appliance must be properly
installed before operation to ensure that
no electrical components are
accessible. Ensure that power is not
supplied to the appliance while
installation work, repairs or
maintenance is performed.
~Be certain your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician. To guarantee the
electrical safety of this appliance,
continuity must exist between the
appliance and an effective grounding
system. It is imperative that this basic
safety requirement be met. If there is
any doubt, have the electrical system of
the house checked by a qualified
electrician. The manufacturer cannot be
held responsible for damages caused
by the lack, or inadequacy, of an
effective grounding system.
~Do not use an extension cord to
connect the appliance to electricity.
Extension cords do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance
(danger of overheating).
~Before service or maintenance
disconnect the power supply by either
removing the fuse, "tripping" the circuit
breaker or unplugging the unit.
~Install or locate this appliance only
in accordance with the provided
installation instructions.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~Installation work and repairs must
only be performed by a trained
technician in accordance with national
and local safety regulations. Repairs
and other work by unauthorized
persons could be dangerous and may
void the warranty.
~Only use Miele original spare parts.
Only then can the manufacturer
guarantee the safety of this machine.
~Never open the outer casing of the
appliance. Tampering with electrical
connections or components and
mechanical parts is dangerous and
may cause machine damage.
~If the machine is installed in
combination with other appliances, a
protective base should be installed
between the appliance and the unit.
~Do not install or use outdoors even if
installed in the display cabinet.
~To protect against fire, electric
shock and injury to persons do not
submerge the cord or plugs in water or
other liquids.
~Do not let the cord hang over the
edge of a table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces.
~Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been
damaged in any manner. Contact
Miele.
~Always attach the cord to the
appliance first, then plug it into the wall
outlet. To disconnect, turn the machine
off, then remove the plug from the wall
outlet.
Use
The coffee system must be
maintained daily to prevent the
growth of harmful bacteria and
mold. Please read the "Cleaning and
care" section of this booklet. All
parts are dishwasher safe except
the brew unit and bean container.

~Only fill the water tank with cold,
fresh tap water. Warm or hot water, or
any other liquids may damage the
machine. The water should be changed
daily to prevent bacteria or mold
growth.
~Do not use mineral water. Mineral
water leads to heavy calcium buildup in
the machine that can damage the unit.
~Do not put anything but coffee
beans into the beans container. Do not
put ground coffee in the beans
container, it will damage the grinding
unit.
~Do not fill anything but ground
coffee or a cleaning tablet (for the brew
unit) in the funnel for ground coffee,
otherwise it will get damaged.
~Sugar can damage the appliance!
Caramelized or otherwise pre-treated
coffee beans or other sugar containing
beverages must not be put in the
machine.
~Never place a cup with an
alcohol-coffee mixture underneath the
coffee dispenser. Plastic parts of the
unit could catch fire!
~The hot water and steam dispensed
could cause scalding. These functions
must be used carefully. Never hold any
parts of the body under the steam
nozzle or the hot water dispenser. The
machine must never be used to clean
objects.
~Do not use the machine when the
froth dispenser is removed. Danger of
scalding with hot steam!
~Never use a steam cleaner to clean
the appliance. Pressurized steam could
damage electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
~The appliance must be descaled
regularly with the supplied descaling
tablets. In areas with very hard water
the machine may need to be descaled
more often. The manufacturer cannot
be held responsible for damages
resulting from insufficient descaling.
~Only use the descaling tablets
provided by Miele. Take care to use the
correct mixture of water and descaler,
otherwise it may cause damage.
~Depending on the fat content of the
coffee, the brew unit may clog. Clean
the brew unit every 200 cups with a
cleaning tablet. The display shows a
respective request.
~Dispose of the coffee waste in a
trash can, not in the sink. The sink
could get clogged.
~Do not hang, lean, sit or place heavy
items on the door. The machine could
be damaged.

the display shows:
iDid you fill ground coffee and

Cappuccino
To prepare a cappuccino you need a
large ceramic or porcelain cup and a
small mug (supplied) of milk.
The best milk froth is achieved with
cold milk.
Only one cup of cappuccino can be
prepared at a time because of the
milk frothing process.
^Set the mug of milk under the intake
hose and the cup under the froth
dispenser.
^Select "Cappuccino".
The milk is frothed into the cup. At the
same time the beans are ground.
Select "Stop" to cancel the milk frothing.
^Once the milk is frothed, set the
cappuccino cup under both
dispensers and select "OK".
The cappuccino will be prepared.
^Select "Stop" when enough espresso
has been prepared.
Milk froth
If you need additional milk froth,
prepare cold skim milk in a stainless
steel mug which narrows towards the
top.
^Set the supplied glass mug with milk
under the intake hose and the
stainless steel mug under the froth
dispenser.
^Select "Milk froth".
The milk is frothed into the stainless
steel mug.
^Select "Stop" to cancel the milk
frothing.
After preparing milk froth and
cappuccino
Clean the froth dispenser and intake
hose immediately after use. If the milk is
allowed to dry, the parts may get
clogged and difficult to clean. See
"Cleaning and Care".
Making coffee
17

The finer the coffee beans are ground
determines the strength of the coffee
and the quality of the crema.
To prevent machine damage adjust
the coffee grinder one notch at a
time and let the beans grind before
adjusting another notch. Otherwise
the machine will be damaged.
The grinder should be adjusted:
–If the espresso flows too quickly into
the cup, the pressure cannot be built
up because the beans have been
ground too coarsely. The grinder
should be adjusted to a finer setting.
– If the espresso only trickles into the
cup, the beans have been ground
too fine and the coffee will be bitter.
The grinder should be adjusted to a
coarser setting.
– If the crema is evenly colored but
pale, the ground coffee is too
coarse.
–If the crema is very dark brown on
one side, graduating almost to white
on the other, the ground coffee is too
fine.
To adjust the grinder setting
^Push the slide control to the left for a
finer grind or to the right for a coarser
grind.
You should be able to feel the notches
when moving the slide control.
If the slide control will not move:
^Close the machine and dispense a
cup of coffee.
Then try to move the slide control
again.
