~
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.
Please note the following with regard to cleaning the coffee
~
machine:
– Disconnect the coffee machine from the power supply before
cleaning.
– Clean the coffee machine and the milk flask daily (see "Cleaning
and care").
– Ensure that all components in which milk is transported are
cleaned on a regular basis.
Milk naturally contains bacteria that rapidly multiply if the milk
pipework is not cleaned properly. Soiling in the appliance may be
dangerous to health.
–
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this machine. Steam could
reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
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.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
The machine must not be used for cleaning objects.

Before using for the first time
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
machine will need to be descaled.
The coffee machine 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.
Programme the coffee machine 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.
The machine has four programmable
levels:
Water hardness Descriptive
0 - 8.4 °dH
(0 -1.5 mmol/l)
8.4 - 14 °dH

is dirty. If the water container is not
sitting correctly, the drain valve will not
be sealed. Clean the surface if
necessary.
21
Filling the coffee bean container
Fill the coffee bean container with
roasted 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.
Only put roasted coffee beans in the
container.
Anything else, including ground
coffee, will damage the grinder.
Warning. Sugar will damage the

Do not use coffee beans that have
been treated with sugar, caramel or
other substances and do not put
liquids containing sugar into the
coffee bean container.
Do not use green (unroasted) coffee
beans or mixtures of coffee beans
containing 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.
Tip: You can use a nut or seed grinder
to grind green coffee beans. These
types of grinder generally have a
rotating stainless steel blade.
You can then add the ground green
coffee one portion at a time to the
ground coffee chute and make the
desired coffee drink (see "Making
espresso and coffee using ready
ground coffee").
^ Take the lid off the coffee bean
container.
