IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
8
Technical safety
ʊInstallation and repairs may only be carried out by a Miele-author‐
ized service technician. Installation, repairs and other work by un‐
qualified persons can cause considerable danger to users.
ʊA damaged coffee system could be dangerous. Before building in
the machine, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not use a
damaged machine.
ʊBefore connecting the coffee system, check the voltage and fre‐
quency indicated on the data plate against the voltage and frequen‐
cy of the household electrical supply.
This data must correspond in order to prevent damage to the coffee
system. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
ʊBe certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appli‐
ance, 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.
ʊReliable and safe operation of the coffee system can only be
guaranteed if it is connected to the electrical supply.
ʊDo not connect the machine to the electrical supply using an ex‐
tension cord or power bar.
ʊThe coffee system may not be used in mobile installations such
as ships.
ʊFor safety reasons, this machine may only be used when it has
been built in.
ʊIf the coffee system is to be built in above another appliance,
there must be a full-width, closed shelf between them.
ʊOnly use the coffee system in rooms where the ambient tempera‐
ture is between +50°F (10°C) and +100°F (38°C).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
ʊDo not cover or block the aeration and ventilation cross-sections.
Condensation water can damage the coffee system or surrounding
cabinets.
ʊEnsure that there is sufficient ventilation around the coffee sys‐
tem.
The ventilation gaps in the housing unit and the gap between the top
of the housing unit and the ceiling must be at least 78 3/4"
(200 cm2). Otherwise condensation can build up and damage the
machine or the housing unit.
ʊIf the coffee system is installed behind a cabinet door, it may only
be used with the door open. This will prevent the formation of heat
and humidity and subsequent damage to the appliance and/or hous‐
ing unit. Do not close the cabinet door while the coffee system is in
use. Ensure the coffee system has cooled down completely before
closing the door.
ʊRepair work should only be performed by a Miele-authorized
service technician. Repairs by unqualified persons can cause con‐
siderable danger to users.
ʊFor repairs, the coffee system must be disconnected from the
electrical power supply.
The coffee system is only disconnected from the power supply if
– the circuit breaker has been tripped, or
– the fuse is removed, or
– the power cord is disconnected from the power supply.
Pull the plug, not the cord, to disconnect the appliance from the
power supply.
ʊRepairs must only be performed by a trained technician in ac‐
cordance with national and local safety regulations. Repairs and oth‐
er work by unauthorized persons could be dangerous and may void
the warranty.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
ʊDefective components should be replaced by Miele original parts
only. Only with original Miele parts can the manufacturer guarantee
the safety of the appliance.
ʊNever open the outer casing of the machine. Tampering with elec‐
trical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly
dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults or electric
shock.
ʊUse only genuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from
other manufacturers are used, the warranty may become void.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
Proper use
ɘDanger of burning and scalding from the dispensers.
The liquids and steam dispensed are very hot.
ʊPlease note:
– Keep away from the area underneath the dispensers when hot
liquids and steam are being dispensed.
– Do not touch hot components.
– Hot liquid or steam could spatter from the dispensers. Ensure
that the main dispenser is clean and fitted correctly.
– Water in the drip tray can also be very hot. Take care when emp‐
tying it.
ɘNever look directly at the lighting or use optical instruments to
look at it.
ʊPlease note the following regarding water:
– Fill the water tank only with fresh, cold tap water. Hot or warm
water or other liquids could damage the coffee system.
– Change the water every day to prevent a build-up of bacteria.
– Do not use mineral water. Mineral water will cause lime scale de‐
posits to build up in your machine and damage it.
– Do not use water from a reverse osmosis unit in this machine.
This would damage it.
ʊOnly fill the bean container with roasted espresso or coffee beans.
Do not fill the bean container with coffee beans that have been treat‐
ed or with ground coffee.
Do not fill liquids in the bean container.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
12
ʊ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 system grinder as soon as grinding
begins.
ʊDo not use coffee beans that have been treated with caramel,
sugar or other substances. Sugar will damage the coffee system.
ʊOnly add ground coffee or cleaning tablets to the ground coffee
chute.
ʊDo not use any caramelized ground coffee. The sugar in the cof‐
fee will stick to and block the brew unit of the coffee system. The
cleaning tablets for degreasing the brew unit will not remove this
type of deposit.
ʊOnly use plain milk. Most sugary additives can clog the milk lines.
and damage the machine.
ʊIf using dairy milk make sure that it has been pasteurized.
ʊDo not place any alcohol mixtures which are alight underneath the
main dispenser. The flames could ignite plastic components and
cause them to melt.
ʊDo not swing from or hang anything on the machine front when it
is open as this could damage the hinges of the machine.
ʊThe main dispenser connector cap is lubricated with silicone
grease. Take care not to get this on your clothes when removing or
replacing the containers or other components.
ʊDo not use the coffee system to clean objects.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
13
Cleaning and care
ʊThe coffee system must be disconnected from the electrical sup‐
ply before cleaning or maintenance.
ʊClean the coffee system and the milk flask thoroughly before us‐
ing for the first time (see "Cleaning and care").
ʊEnsure that all components in which milk is transported, including
the milk pipework and milk flask, are cleaned on a regular basis (see
"Cleaning and care").
Milk naturally contains bacteria that rapidly multiply if the milk pipe‐
work is not cleaned properly. Soiling in the appliance may be dan‐
gerous to health.
ʊDo not use a steam cleaner to clean this machine. Steam could
reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
ʊDescale the coffee system regularly depending on the water hard‐
ness 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 that is not of the appropriate
concentration.
ʊDegrease the brew unit regularly with Miele cleaning tablets. De‐
pending on the natural oil content of the coffee used, the brew unit
can become blocked quite quickly.
ʊUsed coffee grounds should be disposed of with the organic rub‐
bish or on the compost heap. Do not empty them down the sink, as
they could block it.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
14
For machines with stainless steel surfaces:
ʊDo not use sticky notes, transparent adhesive tape, masking tape
or other types of adhesive on stainless steel surfaces. These dam‐
age the surface, causing it to lose its dirt repellent protective coat‐
ing.
ʊThe finish on stainless steel surfaces is susceptible to scratching.
Even magnets can cause scratching.
Preparing your appliance for an extended vacation
ʊIf you elect to turn off the water to your home for an extended pe‐
riod of time, please note that this may not be enough to reduce the
risk of a leak. To be completely safe, you must turn off the water
supply to each individual appliance. This means under the sink for a
dishwasher, at the laundry bib for your washer, etc.

Touch display
The touch display can be scratched by pointed or sharp objects, e.g. pens and
pencils.
Only touch the touch display with your fingers.
Touching the display with your finger emits a small electrical charge which in turn
triggers an electrical pulse that is detected by the surface of the touch display. The
touch display does not react when you touch it with objects.
If your fingers are cold, the touch display may not react.
The touch display is divided into three areas.
