9
Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety
 A damaged coffee machine is dangerous. Check it for any visible
damage before setting it up. Never attempt to use a damaged coffee
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).
 Unplug the machine from the power supply immediately if you
notice any damage or smell scorching, for example.
 Ensure that the mains connection cable cannot be pinched or
damaged by any sharp edges.
 The mains connection cable should not hang down. Someone
could trip over it with the risk of injury and damage the machine.
 Only use the coffee machine in rooms where the ambient
temperature is between +16 °C and +38 °C.

10
 Warning and Safety instructions

 Do not place the coffee machine near a window in direct sunshine

or right next to an appliance that gives off heat. These would subject
the machine to ambient temperatures outside its permitted operating
range.
 Danger of overheating. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation
around the coffee machine. Do not cover it with tea towels etc.
whilst it is in use.
 If the coffee machine is positioned 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
machine 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.
 Protect the coffee machine from water and water spray. Do not
immerse the machine in water.
 Repairs and other work by unqualified persons to the machine
and the connection cable could be dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for unauthorised work. Repairs may only be
carried out by a Miele authorised service technician.
 While the machine is under guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
guarantee is invalidated.
 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
Original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety
of the machine when Miele replacement parts are used.
 The coffee machine must be disconnected from the electricity
supply during repair work.
 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.

11
Warning and Safety instructions

 Disconnect the coffee machine from the power supply if it is not

going to be used for a while.
 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.

12
 Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use
 The spouts present a danger of burning or scalding.
The liquids and steam dispensed are very hot.

 Please note:
– 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.
– Water in the drip tray can also be very hot. Take care when
emptying it.
 Please note the following regarding water:
– Only use cold, fresh tap water to fill the water container. 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 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.
Do not fill the bean container with any type of liquid.
 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.

13
Warning and Safety instructions

 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 add ground coffee or the Miele cleaning tablets for
degreasing the brew unit 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.
 Only use milk without additives. Additives in milk usually contain
sugar and this will stick to the milk pipework.
 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 use naked flames, e.g. a candle on or near the coffee
machine. The coffee machine could catch fire with the risk of the fire
spreading.
 The machine must not be used for cleaning objects.

14
 Warning and Safety instructions

Cleaning and care

 Disconnect the coffee machine from the power supply before
cleaning.
 Clean the coffee machine and the milk flask (supplied as standard,
depending on model) daily, particularly before using for the first time
(see "Cleaning and care").
 All parts of the milk system need to be cleaned thoroughly and
regularly. Milk contains bacteria which proliferate rapidly with
inadequate cleaning.
 Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this machine. Steam could
reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
 If you use hard water (> 20 °dH / 3.6 mmol/l) or if the coffee
machine is used intensively, it may be necessary to descale the
machine manually in addition to automatic descaling.
 If you are descaling the coffee machine manually, carry out
descaling regularly depending on the hardness level of your water.
Descale the machine more frequently if you use 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.
 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.

15
Warning and Safety instructions

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.

Amount of coffee
The coffee machine can grind and brew
6-14 g of coffee beans per cup. The
greater the quantity, the stronger the
coffee.
There are various ways to tell whether
the amount of coffee is set correctly.
The amount of coffee is too low if:
– Espresso or coffee flows into the cup
too quickly.
– The crema is very pale and uneven.
– The espresso or coffee lacks body.
Increase the amount of coffee so that
more ground coffee is brewed.
The amount of coffee is too high if:
– Espresso or coffee only trickles into
the cup.
– The crema is dark brown.
– The espresso or coffee tastes bitter.
Decrease the amount of coffee so that
less ground coffee is brewed.
Tip: If the coffee is too strong for you or
it tastes bitter, try a different type of
bean.

Limescale builds up in the pipework in
the coffee machine through use. To
ensure the machine lasts a long time
and continues to produce good coffee
this limescale needs to be removed on
a regular basis.
With automatic descaling you do not
have to do anything:
– The coffee does not have to be set to
the local water hardness range.
– The descaling maintenance
programme does not need to be run.
– The descaling cartridge should last
approx. one year. You do not need to
buy any descaling agents during this
period.
Automatic descaling
How does automatic descaling
work?
A Miele descaling cartridge is fitted at
the back of the coffee machine. The
descaling cartridge contains a
descaling agent that is mixed with
water to make a descaling solution.
This descaling solution is used to fill the
pipework in the coffee machine every
day and then works for approx. 4 hours.
Ideally this should be at night. The
machine should remain switched off
whilst this process is running: the
pipework is not rinsed during this
period. The descaling solution is
thoroughly rinsed through the pipework
after the four hour activation period - or
the next morning. The machine can
then be used as normal for making
drinks.
The automatic descaling programme
does not run on days when no drinks
have been made. The automatic
descaling programme will not therefore
run if, for instance, you are on holiday.
75
Automatic descaling
The Miele descaling cartridge
Only use a Miele descaling cartridge
for the Automatic descaling
programme. These have been
developed specifically for use in this
coffee machine.
Replacement cartridges are available
from Miele.
Please note that the Miele descaling
cartridge has a lifespan of approx. 6
months after it has been placed in
the machine and filled with water.
Do not fill the descaling cartridge
with other fluids or substances.
The Miele descaling cartridge contains
malic acid. Malic acid is found naturally
in many types of fruit.
The malic acid used in the descaling
cartridge is in tab form. The cartridge is
filled with water when it is placed in the
machine. The tabs gradually dissolve
over time.
Residual descaling solution can
sometimes dry on to the descaling
cartridge lid as a white deposit. These
will not affect the Automatic descaling
programme. If wished this deposit can
be removed using a damp cloth.
A prompt will appear in the display
three weeks before the cartridge is
depleted reminding you that it will need
to be replaced. Confirm this message
with OK. This message will reappear at
regular intervals.
76
Please note that the Automatic
descaling programme will not work
with a depleted or empty cartridge or
without one. The coffee machine
cannot be used for making drinks
until a new one has been fitted.
Should this happen select Manual
descaling as your descaling method.
The descaling cartridge can be
removed if, for instance, you need to
move the coffee machine. Important:
the descaling cartridge has a max. shelf
life of three weeks outside of the
machine. It should be stored upright, in
a dark place and at room temperature
(16 – 38 °C).
Tip: When replacing the descaling
cartridge we recommend running the
manual descaling programme once as
this will thoroughly clean the filter in the
water container.
Fitting and removing a descaling

Make up the descaling solution
We recommend using Miele descaling
tablets for optimum results.
These have been specially developed
for use with Miele coffee machines and
prevent subsequent damage.
Other descaling agents, which
contain other acids besides citric
acid and/or other undesirable
substances, such as chlorides for
example, could damage the coffee
machine. Moreover, the descaling
effect required could not be
guaranteed if the descaling solution
was not of the appropriate
concentration.
Miele descaling tablets are available to
order from Miele or via the internet at
www.miele-shop.com.
You will need one descaling tablet to
descale the machine.
 Fill the water container to the 
