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 and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
It should be unplugged or
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply by a competent person. The
plug must be rendered useless and the
cable cut off directly behind the
appliance or the machine to prevent
misuse.

supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person
responsible for their safety, and are able to recognise the dangers of
misuse.
Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children
,There is a danger of burning and scalding from the coffee
and hot water 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 appliance when its operation has
been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of misuse.
~Cleaning may only be carried out by older children under the
supervision of an adult.
~Children should be supervised when they are near the appliance.
This appliance is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury, keep children
well away and do not allow them to play with it or to use the controls.
They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They
should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen.
Remember that coffee and espresso are not suitable drinks for
children.
~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.
Warning and Safety instructions

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.
~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).
~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).
~This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
Warning and Safety instructions
11

~Only the Miele warming drawers EGW 4000-14/29, EGW 5000-14,
ESW 6x14, 6x29 can be connected to the second connection socket
at the rear of the coffee machine.
~Only use the coffee machine in rooms where the ambient
temperature is between +10 °C and +38 °C.
~Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation around the coffee
machine. The ventilation cut-out area in the furniture unit and the
space underneath the ceiling must amount to at least 200 cm2.
Otherwise condensate may form and the appliance or the furniture
unit may be damaged.
~If the coffee machine is installed behind a kitchen furniture door,
it may only be used with the furniture door open. Do not close the
furniture door while the coffee machine is in use.
~The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
~Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
Original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the
safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
~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
–the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is
applicable), or
–it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from
the socket, or it is switched off at the isolator.
~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.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

~Use only Miele Original spare parts. If spare parts or accessories
from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be invalidated,
and Miele cannot accept liability.
Correct use
,The central spout and hot water spout present a danger of
burning or scalding.
The liquids and steam dispensed are very hot.
Water in the drip tray can also be very hot. Take great care when
emptying it.
Do not place any part of your body under the spouts when hot
liquid or steam are being dispensed.
Residual heat remains after use. Do not touch hot components.
The nozzles can spray hot liquid or steam. Make sure that the
central spout is clean and fitted correctly.
,Never look directly at the lighting or use optical instruments to
look at it.
~Please note the following regarding water:
– Fill the water container only with fresh, cold tap water. Hot or warm
water or other liquids could damage the coffee machine.
– Change the water every day to prevent a build-up of bacteria.
– 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 reverse osmosis units. The machine could
be damaged.
Warning and Safety instructions
13

~Only fill the bean container with roasted espresso or coffee
beans. Do not fill the bean container with coffee beans which have
been treated or with ground coffee.
~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. Sugar will damage the coffee machine.
~Only add ground coffee or cleaning tablets 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.
~Do not use milk with additives. Sugar additives will adhere to the
milk pipework and damage the machine.
~If using cow's milk, only use pasteurised milk to prevent a
build-up of bacteria in the appliance.
~Do not place any alcohol mixtures which are alight underneath
the central spout. The flames could ignite plastic components and
cause them to melt.
~Never swing from or hang anything on the appliance front when it
is open as this could damage the machine.
~The machine must not be used for cleaning objects.
~The seal on the central spout connector is lubricated with silicone
grease. Try to avoid getting this grease on your clothing when
removing and inserting containers or other components.
Warning and Safety instructions
14

Cleaning and care
~It is important to switch off the coffee machine before any
cleaning or maintenance.
~Clean the coffee machine and the milk flask before using for the
first time (see "Cleaning and care").
~Clean the coffee machine and the milk flask daily (see "Cleaning
and care").
~Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this machine. Steam could
reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
~Do not immerse the appliance in water for cleaning.
~Avoid spillage on appliance connectors.
~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.
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.

You can operate the coffee machine by touching the display with your fingertips.
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.
If your fingers are cold, the Touch display may not react.
Do not use any pointed or sharp objects, e.g. pens, to operate the Touch
display as they can damage the surface of the display.
The Touch display will also not react to being touched by such objects.
