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.
Disposal 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.

shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the
consequences of incorrect operation.
Warning and Safety instructions
9

Safety with children
,The spouts present a danger of burning or scalding.
Children's skin is very sensitive and reacts to hot temperatures.
Do not allow them to touch hot components of the coffee machine
or to place any part of their body under the 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
machine unless they are constantly supervised.
~Children 8 years and older may only use the machine
unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it in a safe way
and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect

unsupervised.
~Please supervise children in the vicinity of the coffee machine
and do not allow them to play with it.
Remember that coffee and espresso are not suitable drinks for

children could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their
head and suffocate.
Warning and Safety instructions
10

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. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.
~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 machine can only be guaranteed if
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.
~Do not connect the machine to the mains electrical supply by a
multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These are a fire hazard
and do not guarantee the required safety of the machine.
~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 Miele built-in plate or food warming drawer).
Warning and Safety instructions
11

~The coffee machine must not be used in a non-stationary location
(e.g. on a ship).
~The second electrical connection socket on the back of the
machine may only be used for connecting a Miele EGW 4000-29,
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.
~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 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.
~While the machine is under guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
guarantee is invalidated.
~Miele can only guarantee the safety of the machine when original
Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

~The machine must be disconnected from the electrical supply
during installation and repair work.
~Do not 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.
~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.
~In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and
its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.
Warning and Safety instructions
13

Correct use
,The spouts 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.
Please note:
–Keep well away from the area underneath the spouts when hot
liquids and steam are being dispensed.
– Do not touch hot components.
– The spouts can spray hot liquid or steam. Make sure that the
central spout is clean and that it is fitted correctly.
,Never look directly at the lighting or use optical instruments to
look at it.
~The machine must not be used for cleaning objects.
~Clean the coffee machine and the milk flask thoroughly before
using for the first time. Rinse through the coffee and milk pipework
(see "Cleaning and care").
Warning and Safety instructions
14

~Please note the following regarding water:
–Only use cold, fresh tap water to fill the water container. Hot water
and other liquids could damage the 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 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.
~Sugar will damage the machine. Only use pure coffee beans. Do
not use coffee beans which have been treated with anything
containing caramel, any kind of sugar or other substances. Do not
put liquids containing sugar in 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 milk with additives. Sugar additives will stick to the
milk pipework and damage the coffee machine.
~If using animal milk, use only pasteurised milk.
~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 machine.
Warning and Safety instructions
15

~Please note the following with regard to cleaning the coffee
machine:
–Always disconnect the coffee machine from the electrical supply
before cleaning.
–Clean the coffee machine and the milk flask every day (see
"Cleaning and care" for more information).
–Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the machine. Steam could
reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
–Descale the coffee machine regularly using the appropriate
number of Miele descaling tablets for 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.
– 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 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.
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.
