Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure that they
are recycled.
Disposal of your old appliance
or machine
Electrical and electronic appliances /
machines 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 or machine. Please do
not therefore dispose of it with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

This machine complies with all
relevant legal safety requirements.
Improper use can, however, present
a risk of both personal injury and
material damage.
To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the machine, please read
these instructions carefully before
installation and before using it for the
first time. They contain important
notes on the installation, safety,
operation and care of the machine.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any
future owner.
Correct use
The machine is intended for
domestic use only for the
preparation of espresso, cappuccino
and coffee. Any other usage is not
supported by the manufacturer and
could be dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for damage
resulting from incorrect or improper use
or operation.
Technical safety
Before connecting the machine to
the mains supply, make sure the
rating on the data plate corresponds to
the voltage and frequency of the
household supply. Consult a qualified
electrician if in any doubt.
The electrical safety of this
machine can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it
and an effective earthing system which
complies with current local and national
safety regulations. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is
present and regularly tested, and where
there is any doubt, the household
wiring system should be inspected by a
qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for damage or injury caused by the lack
of or inadequacy of an effective
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
The machine must be built in
before operation to ensure that no
electrical components are accessible.
Do not connect the machine to the
mains electricity supply by an
extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the machine (e.g.
danger of overheating).
The second electrical connection
socket on the back of the machine
may only be used for connecting a
Miele EGW 4000-14 or 29 plate warmer.
Connection of any other appliance
would damage the machine.
When installed in the mobile unit
(optional extra) the machine is not
suitable for use in the open air.
Warning and Safety instructions
8

This equipment may only be used
in mobile installations such as
ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk
assessment of the installation has been
carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
The machine is not suitable for
connection to a hot water supply.
This would cause damage.
The stopcock must be accessible
for servicing work after the coffee
machine has been built-in.
The protective sleeve of the water
inlet hose must not be damaged or
kinked. This will cause it to leak.
The integrated Waterproof system
offers protection from water
damage, provided the following
conditions are met:
– The machine is correctly installed
and plumbed in.
– The machine is properly maintained
and parts are replaced where it can
be seen that this is necessary.
–The stopcock is turned off when the
machine is not used for a longer
period of time (e.g. during holidays).
Installation work and repairs may
only be carried out by suitably
qualified and competent persons in
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations. Repairs and
other work by unqualified persons
could be dangerous and the
manufacturer will not be held liable.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
machine until after installation,
maintenance or repair work has been
carried out.
The machine is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– the mains fuse is withdrawn,
– or the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable),
– it has been switched off at the wall
socket and the plug has been
withdrawn.
Never open the housing 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.
If the coffee machine is to be built
in above another appliance, there
must be a full-width, closed shelf
between them (except when it is
combined with a Miele built-in plate
warming drawer).
Warning and Safety instructions
9

Use
Caution. Danger of scalding. The
spouts and the liquids dispensed
are very hot.
Never look directly at the lighting or
use optical instruments to look at it.
The use of the machine by the
elderly or infirm or those who have
not used the appliance before should
be supervised by a competent and
responsible person to avoid the risk of
injury.
This machine is not a toy! To avoid
the risk of injury, keep children well
away and do not let them play with it or
use the controls. Their skin is very
sensitive and reacts to hot
temperatures. Danger of scalding.
Remember that coffee and espresso
are not suitable drinks for children.
The water piping and the
Cappuccinatore must be rinsed
through and the machine cleaned
thoroughly before the first drink is
prepared.
If using the water container and not
the plumbed in water supply, fill the
water container with cold, fresh tap
water only. Warm or hot water or other
liquids could damage the machine.
Change the water every day to
prevent a build up of bacteria.
If using the water container, do not
on any account use mineral water.
Mineral water will cause serious
limescale deposits to build up in your
machine and damage it.
Never put anything other than
roasted espresso/coffee beans in
the coffee bean container. It must never
be filled with ground coffee as this
could damage the grinder.
The ground coffee chute must
never be filled with anything other
than ground coffee or brew unit
cleaning tablets. Otherwise the
machine will be damaged.
Sugar can damage the coffee
machine. Only use pure coffee
beans. Do not use coffee beans which
have been treated with anything
containing caramel, any kind of sugar
or any other substances. Do not put
drinks containing sugar, or instant
coffee in the machine.
Never place a drink with ignited
alcohol under the spouts. The
flames could ignite plastic components
and cause fire damage.
The hot water and steam could
cause scalding. Be very careful
when using these functions. Make sure
you do not come into contact with
steam or hot water. The machine must
never be used for cleaning objects.
Do not use the coffee machine if
the Cappucinatore has been
dismantled. Danger of scalding by hot
steam!
Warning and Safety instructions
10

Do not use steam cleaning
apparatus to clean the machine.
Pressurised steam could reach the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
Clean the machine every day to
prevent a build-up of bacteria. All
parts, except the brew unit and the
coffee been container, are dishwasher
safe.
The machine should be descaled
regularly, depending on the
hardness of the water, with the
descaling tablets supplied. The harder
the water, the more often the machine
must be descaled. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for damage
arising from insufficient descaling.
Only use the descaling tablets
supplied by Miele and follow the
instructions on the packet carefully. Use
the exact proportions recommended
Otherwise the machine will be
damaged.
Depending on the natural oil
content of the coffee used, the
brew unit could become blocked. It is
important therefore to clean the brew
unit with a cleaning tablet after approx.
200 coffees. (A reminder will appear in
the display).
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.
Never swing from or hang anything
on the front when it is open as this
could damage the machine.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
machine and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage which may be caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the guarantee.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.
Warning and Safety instructions

This machine can be used to prepare
espresso, coffee, cappuccino, milk
froth and hot water .
This machine has a container for coffee
beans so that they can be freshly
ground on demand for every cup to
benefit fully from the flavour.
The ground coffee can also be
moistened with hot water
(Pre-brewing), to develop the aroma.
Then hot water is forced at high
pressure through the ground coffee.
If the machine is used by various
people with different tastes and
preferences, you can programme
specific settings for up to ten
individual users (User profiles).
You can also add a portion of ready
ground coffee should someone prefer
a cup of decaffinated coffee, for
example.
To prevent water from remaining in the
pipes, any water left is expelled,
resulting in a little trickle after the coffee
has been dispensed. The coffee is then
ready.
The used coffee grounds are
automatically emptied into the waste
container. There is no need to remove
the grounds manually after each cup.
The size of cup can be programmed so
that the correct amount is dispensed. If
you decide to use a smaller cup than
the programmed cup size, preparation
can be halted at any time by pressing
"+C".
If two cups of coffee or espresso are
required at the same time, the sensor
next to "2 portions" must be pressed
twice briefly. The machine will fill the
cups in two stages with a slight pause
in between.
The machine can be programmed to
grind from 6 to 14 g of coffee,
depending on the type. The
programmed amount of coffee will be
the same for all sizes of cup (espresso,
coffee, cappucino).
The fineness to which the coffee is
ground can be adjusted.
The lighting can be switched on
independently of operation. The upper
and lower lighting can also be dimmed
independently of one another.
For safety reasons, the electricity
supply to the brewing system and the
coffee grinder cuts out when the
machine door is opened. The machine
also features a system lock to prevent
children from operating it.
The easy to use programming facility
allows, amongst other things, the
language in the display to be changed
and the water hardness to be
programmed in.
Brief description
12

To ensure that the flavour can develop
fully and be maintained for longer the
machine has an additional function to
automatically rinse and pre-warm the
system when the machine is cold. The
same function is used to flush coffee
remains out of the system and the
spouts after use.
The hot water from the hot water spout
is ideal for pre-warming the cups.
So that the machine remains ready for
use but does not use electricity
unnecessarily, it will switch into Energy
saving mode after a certain length of
time.
You can also programme the machine
to switch on and off at a particular
time every day.

When you use the machine for the very first time you will be
prompted to select a language.
^Touch the sensor beside the language you want and then
touch the sensor on the right beside "Continue".
To get the best out of your coffee machine, and to
set it up for your specific requirements please
continue to work through these operating
instructions. It really is worthwhile doing this as you will then
be able to use your coffee machine to the best advantage.
To ensure that any coffee residues from the factory testing
process are removed from the brewing system, please
throw away the first two cups of coffee.
Switching off
To switch the machine off:
^Touch the "s" sensor.
The time of day will appear in the display and after a while the
display will go out (depending on the setting, see "Settings:
Customising your machine").
If automatic rinsing is switched on, providing that coffee
has actually been dispensed from the machine, the rinsing
process will begin.

Please clean the machine thoroughly before filling it (see
"Cleaning and care").
Filling and emptying the water container
The quality of the water plays an important part in
the overall quality of the coffee. If the machine is
plumbed into the mains drinking water supply, the
water container will fill automatically. Empty out the water
container every day. To remind you to do this the following
message will appear in the display when you switch the
machine on: Please empty the water container.
If filling the water container manually (instead of using the
plumbed in water supply), do not use hot water or other
liquids as these could damage the machine. Only use
cold, clean tap water and fill the machine every day. Do
not on any account use mineral water. Mineral water will
cause serious limescale deposits to build up in your
machine and damage it.
^Open the machine door.
^Pull the water container forwards to remove it.
Adding water, coffee beans or ground coffee
16

^If filling the water container manually, take off the lid and fill
the water container with cold, clean tap water up to the
"Max." mark.
A valve at the front of the water container will ensure that
water cannot escape.
^Put the lid back on and replace the container in the
machine, pushing it right to the back until it clicks into
position.
The water container must click into position and sit in the
machine correctly to ensure the valve is sealed. If you do
not hear it click into position or the water container
protrudes slightly or does not sit flat on the floor, check
whether the surface that the water container sits on is dirty
and clean it if necessary.
Filling the coffee bean container
Only put roasted espresso or coffee beans in the
container. Anything else, including ground coffee, will
damage the grinder.
Do not use coffee beans which have been treated with
caramel, sugar or other substances. Do not put drinks
containing sugar, or instant coffee in the machine. Sugar
will damage the machine.
^Pull out the coffee bean container.
^Push back the lid and fill the container with roasted coffee
beans.
Adding water, coffee beans or ground coffee
17

^Pull the lid forwards again, push the coffee bean container
back into place and close the machine door.
Adding ground coffee
If you want to use ready ground coffee, you can add ground
coffee to the specially designed coffee chute. To do this:
^Pull the cover for the coffee chute right out of the machine
and open up the lid (1.).
^Use the scoop supplied and place one level scoop of
ground coffee into the coffee chute (2). Close the lid.
^Push the cover into the machine and close the machine
door.
The display will ask you if you want to make coffee with
ground coffee.
^Touch the sensor beside "Yes".
^The display will change to the main menu and you can
select the type of drink (see "Making coffee").
If you have not added any ground coffee, you
must select "No". Otherwise the machine will
assume that there is ground coffee in the chute
and so only water will be dispensed the next time coffee is
made!

Important: the water piping must be rinsed through every
day and the machine cleaned thoroughly before the first
drink of coffee is prepared. Rinsing will take place
automatically if the Automatic rinsing programme option
has been set to "On" and the machine is cold. Hot water
will run out of both spouts into the drip tray once the
machine has heated up.
If the Automatic rinsing programme option has been set to
"Off", select "Maintenance" to rinse the system (see
"Cleaning and care").
Switching on
To switch the machine on:
^Touch the "s" sensor.
The following message will appear briefly in the display:
Information
iPlease fill with fresh water.
This message is a reminder to empty out the water container
to ensure that only fresh water from the plumbed in water
supply is used for making coffee.
The following message will appear in the top line of the
display:

If the Automatic rinsing programme option has been set to
"On" (factory default setting), the machine will be rinsed
through after heating up and the main menu will appear.

Pre-warming cups
The cups should always be pre-warmed to allow the flavour
to develop and be retained. The aroma of espresso does not
react well to cold,
The smaller the volume of coffee/espresso, the more
important it is to pre-warm the cup. Use a plate warming
drawer if you have one. If not you can warm them as follows:
^Place the cup under the hot water spout.
^Touch the lower sensor on the right until "Hot water" is
visible on the left of the display.
^Touch the sensor beside "Hot water".
^Allow a little hot water to run into the cup to warm it and
touch "+C" to switch off the water.
^Leave the cup to warm for a while and then pour the water
away.
Adjusting the height of the coffee spouts
You can adjust the height of the coffee spouts to suit the
height of the cup so that the espresso or coffee will not cool
down as quickly as it would if the spouts were further away
from the cup. The crema will also be a better quality if the
coffee does not have so far to go!
^Gently pull the coffee spouts downwards.
