Before connecting the coffee system, check the voltage and frequency indicated on the data plate against the voltage and frequency of the household electrical supply.
This data must correspond in order to prevent damage to the coffee system. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Be certain your appliance is properly installed. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician.
Do not connect the machine to the electrical supply using an extension cord.
Unplug the machine from the power supply immediately if you notice any damage or smell.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
6
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.
8
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.
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.
Do not use the coffee system to clean objects.

First use
Water hardness
The water hardness level indicates how much calcium is dissolved in the water. The higher the calcium content, the harder the water, and the harder the water, the more often the coffee system will need to be descaled.
The coffee system measures the amount of water used and steam made. Depending on the level of water hardness set, more or fewer drinks can be dispensed before the appliance needs to be descaled.
Program the coffee system to the water hardness level of your area so that it functions correctly and does not get damaged. At the correct time a prompt will then appear in the display to descale the appliance.
You can program four hardness levels on the machine:

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.
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.
Press the lid on the right-hand side.
Pull the water container up by the lid to remove 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.
16
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.
