Packaging material / Disposal of old machine
2
Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the machine from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites.
Disposing of your old machine
Electrical and electronic machines 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 machine. Please do
not therefore dispose of it with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your dealer for advice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for disposal.

Safety with children
Caution! Danger of burning and scalding on the dispensing
spouts.
Children's skin is far more sensitive to high temperatures than that
of adults.
Ensure children do not touch hot surfaces of the coffee machine or
place parts of their body under the dispensing spouts.
 Install the coffee machine where it is out of the reach of children.
 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the

Technical safety
 Installation and repairs may only be carried out by a Miele
authorised service technician. Installation, repairs and other work by
unqualified persons can cause considerable danger to users.
 A damaged coffee machine could be dangerous. Before building
in the machine, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not
use a damaged machine.
 To avoid the risk of damage to the machine, make sure the
connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate
corresponds to the household supply, before connecting the
machine to the mains supply. 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 adapter or an extension lead. These are a fire hazard
and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
 The coffee machine must not be used in a non-stationary location
(e.g. on a ship).
 For safety reasons, this machine may only be used when it has
been built in.
 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 suitable built-in plate/food warming drawer).

Warning and Safety instructions
10
 The second electrical connection socket on the back of the
machine may only be used for connecting a Miele
EGW4000-14,-29, EGW5000-14 plate warming drawer or an
ESW6x14, ESW6x29 food warming drawer.
 Only use the coffee machine in rooms where the ambient
temperature is between +10°C and +38°C.
 Do not cover or block the ventilation gaps.
This would prevent adequate ventilation. Condensation can damage
the coffee machine or the furniture housing unit.
 Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation around the coffee
machine. The ventilation gaps in the furniture housing unit and the
gap between the top of the housing unit and the ceiling must be at
least 200cm2. Otherwise condensation can build up and damage
the machine or the housing unit.
 If the coffee machine is built-in behind a kitchen furniture door, it
may only be used with the furniture door open. This will prevent the
formation of heat and humidity and subsequent damage to the
machine and/or furniture unit. Do not close the furniture door while
the coffee machine is in use. Ensure the coffee machine has cooled
down completely before closing the furniture door.
 Repairs may only be carried out by a Miele authorised service
technician. Repairs by unqualified persons can cause considerable
danger to the user.
 The coffee machine must be disconnected from the electricity
supply during repair work.
 While the machine is under guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
guarantee is invalidated.
 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
11
 Never open the outer casing 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.
 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
Plumbed in water connection
 Do not connect the coffee machine to a hot water supply.
 The stopcock must be easily accessible after the coffee machine
has been built in.
 The protective sleeve of the water inlet hose must not be
damaged or become kinked.
 The integrated water protection system offers protection from
water damage, provided the following conditions are met:
– the coffee machine is correctly installed, connected to the
electricity supply and plumbed in.
– if a fault is identified, the machine must be repaired immediately.
– the stopcock is turned off when the machine is not used for a
longer period of time (e.g during holidays).

Warning and Safety instructions
13
Correct use
Danger of burning and scalding on the dispensing spouts.
The liquids and steam dispensed are very hot.
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.
Danger of injury to the eyes.
Never look directly at the lighting or use optical instruments to look
at it.
 Please note the following regarding water:
– When using the water container: Only use cold, fresh tap water to
fill the water container. Warm or hot water or other liquids can
damage the coffee machine.
– Change the water every day to prevent a build-up of bacteria.
If the machine is connected to the mains water supply: Empty the
water container once a day.
– 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.
This would damage it.
 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 fill the bean container with any type of liquid.

Warning and Safety instructions
14
 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 the Miele cleaning tablets for
degreasing the brew unit to the ground coffee chute.
 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.
 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 swing from or hang anything on the machine front when it
is open as this could damage the hinges on the coffee machine.
 The central spout 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.
 The machine must not be used for cleaning objects.

Warning and Safety instructions
15
Cleaning and care
 The coffee machine must be disconnected from the electricity
supply before cleaning or maintenance.
 Clean the coffee machine and the milk flask daily, particularly
before using for the first time (see "Cleaning and care").
 All parts of the milk system need to be cleaned thoroughly and
regularly. Milk contains bacteria which proliferate rapidly with
inadequate cleaning.
 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.
 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
16
For machines with stainless steel surfaces:
 Do not use sticky notes, transparent adhesive tape, masking tape
or other types of adhesive on stainless steel surfaces. These
damage the surface, causing it to lose its dirt repellent protective
coating.
 The finish on stainless steel surfaces is susceptible to scratching.
Even magnets can cause scratching.

Touch display
The display can be scratched by pointed or sharp objects, e.g. pens.
Only touch the touch display with your finger tips.
Touching the display with your finger creates a tiny charge which releases an
electrical impulse. This impulse is recognised by the touch display. The touch
display does not react if you touch it with an object.
It is possible for the Touch display to not react to finger contact if your fingers are
cold.
The display is split into three sections.
