IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Proper use

Danger of burning and scalding

from the spouts. The liquids and steam dispensed are very hot.

Please note:

Keep away from the area underneath

–

the spouts when hot liquids and steam are being dispensed.

Do not touch hot surfaces. Use

–

handles or knobs.

– Hot liquid or steam could spatter

from the dispensers. Ensure that the main dispenser is clean and fitted correctly.

– Water in the drip tray can also be

very hot. Take care when emptying it.

Clean the coffee system thoroughly

before using for the first time (see "Cleaning and care").

To avoid the risk of damage to the

machine, please note the following regarding water:

–

Fill the water container with fresh, cold tap water only. Hot or warm water or other liquids could damage the coffee system.

–

Change the water every day to prevent a build-up of bacteria.

–

Do not use mineral water. Mineral water will cause lime scale deposits to build up in your machine and damage it.

–

Do not use water from reverse osmosis units.

Only fill the bean container with

roasted espresso or coffee beans. Do not fill the bean container with coffee beans that have been treated or with ground coffee.

Do not use raw coffee beans (green,

unroasted coffee beans) or coffee blends that include raw coffee. Raw coffee beans are very hard and contain mositure that will damage the grinder.

Do not use coffee beans that have

been treated with caramel, sugar or other substances. Sugar will damage the coffee system.

Only add ground coffee or cleaning

tablets to the ground coffee chute. The cleaning tablets are used for degreasing the brew unit.

Do not use flavored ground coffee in

the machine. The sugar content on these grounds clogs the brew unit of the machine. The cleaning tablet is not enough to remove the residue.

Only use milk without additives.

Additives in milk usually contain sugar and this will stick to the milk pipework.

If using dairy milk make sure that it

has been pasteurized.

Do not place flamed alcohol

mixtures underneath the main dispenser. The flames could ignite plastic components and cause them to melt.

Do not place any open flame, e.g. a

candle, on or near the coffee system. The coffee system could catch fire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Please note the following with

regard to cleaning the coffee system:

Turn the coffee system off at the

–

main switch before cleaning.

Clean the coffee system and milk

–

container daily (see "Cleaning and care").

Make sure that the milk pipework is

–

cleaned regularly and thoroughly Milk contains natural bacteria that will multiply if the pipework is not sufficiently clean. Contamination in the coffee system can be a health hazard.

– Do not use a steam cleaner to clean

this machine. Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Descale the coffee system 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 that is not of the appropriate concentration.

Do not use the coffee system to

clean objects.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND REVIEW THEM PERIODICALLY

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.

Rinsing espresso/coffee grounds

down the drain can cause the sink to clog. Instead, dispose of your espresso/coffee grounds appropriately as biodegradable waste (where facilities exist) or by composting.

Filling the water container

The quality of the water and the quality of the coffee beans play an important part in the quality of the coffee or espresso.

Important! Bacteria can cause infection. It is important to empty and fill the container with fresh tap water every day to avoid the risk of bacteria building up.

Hot or warm water or other liquids can damage the coffee system.

Press the lid on the right-hand side.

Pull the water container up by the lid

to remove it.

Do not use mineral water in the water container. It will cause serious lime scale deposits to build up in your machine and damage it.

^ Fill the water container with fresh,

cold tap water up to the "max." marker.

^ Replace the water container.

Tip: If the water container is a little high or at a slant, check whether the surface that the water container sits on is dirty. If the water container is not sitting correctly, the drain valve will not be sealed. Clean the surface if necessary.

Filling the coffee bean container

Fill the coffee bean container with roasted espresso or coffee beans if you want to use freshly ground coffee beans for each cup of espresso or coffee.

Alternatively, you can make coffee or espresso with ready ground coffee (see "Making coffee or espresso using ready ground coffee").

Warning! Damage to the grinder! Only put roasted coffee beans for espresso or coffee in the container. Anything else, including ground coffee, will damage the grinder.

Warning! Sugar will damage the coffee system. Do not use coffee beans that have been treated with sugar, caramel, or other substances and do not put liquids containing sugar in the coffee bean container.

Take the lid off the coffee bean

container.

Fill the container with roasted coffee

beans.
