Packaging material / Disposal of old machine
2
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.
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 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.
Therefore, please do not dispose of
your old appliance with your household
waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre.
Ensure that your old appliance presents
no danger to children while being
stored for disposal.

lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person responsible
for their safety, and are able to recognise the dangers of misuse.

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 out of reach of children.
 Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
 Older children may only use the coffee machine unsupervised if
they have been shown how to use it safely and recognise and
understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
 Children should be supervised when they are near the coffee
machine. Do not allow them to play with it or to use the controls.
 Cleaning may only be carried out by older children under the
supervision of an adult.
 Remember that coffee and espresso are not suitable drinks for
children.
 Risk of suffocation!
Children may be able to wrap themselves in packing material or pull
it over their heads with the risk of suffocation. Keep children away
from any packing material.

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 plate warmer).

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. Otherwise condensate may form and the appliance or the
furniture unit may be damaged. The ventilation cut-out area in the
furniture unit and the space underneath the ceiling must amount to
at least 200
cm2.
 If the coffee machine is installed 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
appliance 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.
 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:
– the mains fuse is disconnected, or
– it is switched off at the circuit breaker, or
