Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally 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. 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.
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. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
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 out of reach of children.
 Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.

Technical safety
 Repairs and installation work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised
work. Installation work and repairs to electrical appliances must only
be carried out by a Miele approved service technician.
 A damaged appliance is dangerous. Check it for any visible
damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged appliance.
 Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, make sure
that the rating on the data plate corresponds to the voltage and
frequency of the household supply. This data must correspond in
order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a
qualified electrician if in any doubt.
 The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
present and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the
household wiring system should be inspected 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 do not guarantee
the safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
 This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
 For safety reasons, this appliance 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 in
combination with a built-in warming drawer).

Warning and Safety instructions
10
 Only use the coffee machine in rooms where the ambient
temperature is between +16°C and +38°C.
 A minimum installation height of 850mm must be maintained.
 This coffee machine must not be installed behind a closed
furniture door. Heat and moisture can build up behind the closed
furniture door. This can result in damage to the appliance and/or
furniture unit.
 Before any repair work is carried out, the appliance must be
completely disconnected from the electricity supply.
The appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– it is switched off at the circuit breaker, or
– the mains connection cable is disconnected from the power
supply.
Pull the plug, not the cord, to disconnect the appliance from the
power supply.
 The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
 Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when original
Miele spare parts are used. Faulty components must only be
replaced by original Miele 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 spouts. Ensure that the
central spout is clean and fitted correctly.
If there is a cup or container underneath the central spout, make
sure that you remove this before opening the appliance door.
Water in the drip tray can also be very hot. Take care when
emptying it.
Risk of injury to the eyes!
Never look directly at the lighting or use optical instruments
(magnifying glass or similar) 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 container. Do not put
coffee beans containing additives or ground coffee in the bean
containers.
 Do not fill the bean container 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. 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 cow's milk, only use pasteurised milk to prevent a build-
up of bacteria in the appliance.
 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 appliance door 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 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
agents or the use of a 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 clean the machine with a steam cleaner or immerse it in
water as this will damage the machine. Steam or water could reach
the 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
The following applies to appliances with stainless steel
surfaces:
 Do not adhere stickers, adhesive tape or any other adhesive
materials to stainless steel surfaces. The coating on the stainless
steel surfaces will become damaged and lose its protective
properties against soiling.
 Stainless steel scratches very easily and even magnets can cause
damage to the surface.
