Caring for the environment
2
Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance 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
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also
responsible (by law, depending on
country) for deleting any personal data
that may be stored on the appliance
being disposed of. Please ensure that
your old appliance poses no risk to
children while being stored prior to
disposal.

Safety with children
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 coffee
machine unless they are constantly supervised.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety
 Installation work or repairs should only be carried out by a Miele
authorised technician. Unauthorised or incorrect installation work or
repairs can pose 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).
 Only use the coffee machine in rooms where the ambient
temperature is between +16°C and +38°C.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
 A minimum installation height of 850mm must be observed.
 This coffee machine must not be installed behind a closed cabinet
door because heat and moisture can build up behind it. This can
result in damage to the machine and/or furniture unit.
 The coffee machine must be disconnected from the electricity
supply during repair work.
 While the machine is under warranty, repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
warranty is invalidated.
 Miele can only guarantee the safety of the machine when original
Miele spare parts are used. Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts.
 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 original Miele accessories. If other parts are used,
warranty, performance and/or product liability claims will be
invalidated.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
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 nozzles. Ensure that the
central spout is clean and fitted correctly.
Before opening the door, remove any containers from the drip tray
in the machine door.
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:
– The water quality must conform to the requirements for drinking
water in the country in which the coffee machine is being used.
– Only use cold, fresh tap water to fill the water container. Hot or
warm water or other liquids can damage the coffee machine.
– Change the water every day to prevent a build-up of bacteria.
– Do not use carbonated water.
 Only put roasted coffee beans in the bean containers. Do not
place coffee beans which have been treated with additives or ground
coffee inside the bean containers.
 Do not fill the bean containers with any type of liquid.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
 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 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 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.
 When making tea, please follow the instructions on the packaging.
 Do not place flaming alcohol mixtures 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 machine must not be used for cleaning objects.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
Cleaning and care
 Clean the coffee machine and the milk flask daily, particularly
before using them for the first time.
 All parts of the milk system need to be cleaned thoroughly and
regularly. Milk contains bacteria which proliferate rapidly with
inadequate cleaning.
 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.
 Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this machine. Steam could
reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
 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
14
For machines with stainless steel surfaces:
 Do not use sticky notes, transparent adhesive tape, masking tape
or other types of adhesive on the stainless steel surfaces. These will
damage the stainless steel surfaces, causing them to lose their dirt-
repellent protective coating.
 The finish on stainless steel surfaces is susceptible to scratching.
Even magnets can cause scratching.
