 Older children may only use the coffee machine unsupervised if

they have been shown how to use it safely and recognise and
understand the consequences of incorrect operation.

 Children should be supervised when they are near the coffee

machine. Do not allow them to play with it or to use the controls.

 Young children must not be allowed to clean the coffee machine.

Older children may only clean it under the supervision of an adult.

 Remember that coffee and espresso are not suitable drinks for

from any packing material.

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.

 Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, make sure

that the rating on the data plate corresponds to the voltage and
frequency of the household supply. This data must correspond in
order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a
qualified electrician if in any doubt.

 The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed

when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
present and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the
household wiring system should be inspected 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 do not guarantee
the safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

 This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile

installations (e.g. on a ship).

 Unplug the coffee 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 the machine could be
damaged.

10

Warning and Safety instructions

 Only use the coffee machine in rooms where the ambient

temperature is between +16°C and +38°C.

 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 installed 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
appliance 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.

 The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is

not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.

 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele

original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety
of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

11

Warning and Safety instructions

 Before any repair work is carried out, the appliance must be

completely disconnected from the electricity supply. The appliance is
only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:

– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from

the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains
plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity
supply.

– the mains circuit breaker is switched off.

 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.

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

going to be used for a while, e.g. while on holiday.

 Use only Miele original spare parts. If spare parts or accessories

from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be invalidated,
and Miele cannot accept liability.

12

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

 Danger of burning and scalding on the dispensing spouts!
The liquids and steam dispensed are very hot.

Keep well away from the area underneath the spouts when hot
liquids and steam are being dispensed.

Heating surfaces have residual heat after use. 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:

– Fill the water container only with fresh, cold tap water. 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 reverse osmosis units. The machine could

be damaged.

 Only fill the bean container with roasted espresso or coffee beans.

Do not fill the bean container with coffee beans which have been
treated, e.g flavoured or caramelised, 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.

 Do not use coffee beans which have been treated with caramel,

sugar or other substances. Sugar will damage the coffee machine.

13

Warning and Safety instructions

 Only add ground coffee or cleaning tablets 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.

 If using cow's milk, only use pasteurised milk to prevent a build-

up of bacteria in the appliance.

 When making tea, please follow the instructions on the packaging.
 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 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 clean the machine with a steam cleaner or immerse it in

water as this will damage the machine. Steam or water could reach
the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

 Avoid spillage on appliance connectors.
 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 agents or the use of
descaling agents which are 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

The following applies to appliances with stainless steel surfaces:

 Do not adhere stickers, adhesive tape or any other adhesive

materials to the stainless steel surfaces.

 Stainless steel scratches very easily and even magnets can cause

damage to the surface.

Before using for the first time

25

Filling the water container

 Change the water every day to

prevent a build-up of bacteria.

Only use cold, fresh tap water to fill
the water container.

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

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

 Open the lid on the left-hand side of

the coffee machine.

 Pull the water container up by the

handle to remove it.

 Fill the water container with fresh,

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

 Replace the water container and

close the lid.

If the water container sits a little too
high or at an angle, check that it is
fitted correctly or whether the
surface that it sits on is soiled. If the
water container is not sitting
correctly, the drain valve will not be
sealed.
If necessary clean the surface that
the water container sits on.

26

Filling the coffee bean container

Fill the coffee bean container with
roasted coffee or espresso 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
"Drinks made with ready ground
coffee").

Important! Risk of damage to the
grinder.

Only put roasted coffee or espresso
beans in the container. Anything
else, including ground coffee, will
damage the grinder.

Do not fill the bean container with
any type of liquid.

Important! Sugar damages the coffee
machine.

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.

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.

Useful 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
portion by portion to the ground coffee
chute and make the desired coffee
drink (see "Making drinks with ready
ground coffee").

 Take the lid off the coffee bean

container.

 Fill the container with roasted coffee

beans.

 Refit the lid.

Useful tip: Only add enough beans to
last for a few days.
Contact with air causes coffee beans to
lose their aroma.

27

espresso. It is made with the same
quantity of ground coffee as for an
espresso, but with very little water.

– Espresso is a strong, aromatic

coffee with a thick hazelnut brown
coloured layer of froth - known as the
crema - on top.
When making espresso, use
espresso roasted coffee beans.

– Latte macchiato consists of 1/3

each of hot milk, milk froth and
espresso.

– Caffè latte consists of coffee and

hot milk.

– Cappuccino italiano has the same

proportion of milk froth and espresso
as a cappuccino, but the espresso is
added first and then the milk froth.

– Espresso macchiato is an espresso

with a small amount of milk froth on
top.
Select a cup which can hold at least
100ml for this drink.

– Flat white is an espresso with milk

froth.

– Café au lait is an espresso with

slightly hotter milk.

 Caution! Danger of burning and

scalding from the central spout.
Liquids and steam dispensed from
the spouts will be very hot.

Do not use milk with additives. Most
additives contain sugar which will
adhere to the milk pipework and
damage the machine.

As soon as you select a drink
containing milk the machine will start to
heat up. The milk will be drawn up into
the central spout where it is heated by
steam and also frothed for drinks
requiring milk froth.

If you have not made any milk drinks
for a while, rinse the milk system
thoroughly before making the first
drink to ensure any bacteria is
flushed out.

Hot milk or milk froth can also be
made separately.

Useful tip: Using cold cow's milk
(<10°C) with a protein content of at
least 3% will produce the perfect milk
froth.
You can select milk with a fat content
according to preference. With whole
milk (at least 3.5% fat), the milk froth
will be slightly creamier.

35

Making coffee with milk

Milk flask

The stainless steel flask keeps milk cool
for longer. Good milk froth can only be

Making tea

 Danger of burning and scalding

on the hot water spout.
Keep well away from the area

underneath the hot water spout
when hot liquids and steam are
being dispensed.

Heating surfaces have residual heat
after use. Do not touch hot
components.

This machine is not intended for
commercial or scientific purposes.
Temperatures given are approximate
and can vary according to ambient
conditions.

To make tea, you can select from the
following options:

– Green tea approx.80°C

– Herbal tea approx.90°C

– Fruit tea approx.90°C

– Black tea approx.90°C

The amount of tea and the brewing time
will vary depending on the type of tea.
Always follow the recommendations of
the manufacturer on the packaging or
of the retailer. The amount of hot water
used can be adjusted depending on the
type of tea and the size of the cup (see
"Portion size").

Useful tip: Store the tea in a cool, dark
place in tightly sealed containers. It is
best to buy smaller amounts to prevent
loss of aroma.

The type of tea determines the preset
temperature.
The respective dispensing temperatures
are recommended by Miele for making
black tea, green tea, herbal or fruit tea.

Follow the instructions for making
tea on the tea packaging.

The taste of the tea will be affected by
the type of water used. Water should be
as soft as possible to allow the aroma
to develop.

Whether you use loose tea leaves,
blended tea or tea bags depends on
your own personal preferences.

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.

Useful tip: If the coffee is too strong for
you or it tastes bitter, try a different type
of bean.

42

Drink parameters

Brewing temperature

The ideal brewing temperature will
depend on

– the type of coffee being used

– whether an espresso or a coffee is

being made, and

– the altitude of the region.

Useful tip: Not all types of coffee
tolerate high temperatures. Several
types are sensitive to high
temperatures, resulting in an impaired
crema and taste.

The coffee machine has five brewing
temperatures.

Pre-brewing ground coffee

When the pre-brewing function is
switched on, the freshly ground coffee
is first moistened with a little hot water.
Then the remaining water is forced
through the moistened coffee at high
pressure. This helps release the flavour
of the coffee.

You can set pre-brewing for a normal
length of time or an extra long length of
time. Alternatively, you can switch off
the "Pre-brewing" function.
The machine is supplied with the "Pre­brewing" function switched off.

43

Portion size

The flavour of the coffee produced
depends not only on the type of coffee,
but also on the amount of water used.
You can programme the amount of
water for all coffee drinks and hot water
to suit the size of your cups and the
type of coffee you are using. This does
not alter the amount of coffee used.

For coffee drinks with milk you can also
set the amount of milk or milk froth to
suit your personal taste. Additionally,
you can set the portion sizes for hot
milk and milk froth alone.

A maximum portion size can be
programmed for each type of drink. The
coffee machine halts preparation of the
coffee once this portion size has been
reached. The maximum possible
portion size is then saved by the
appliance for this type of drink.

The changed portion size is always
saved in the current user profile. The
name of the current user profile is
shown in the top left of the display.

If you have selected a drink with milk
or tea, portion programming will start
immediately. Portion size does not need
to be opened separately.

The drink will be made and Save will
appear in the display as soon as the
minimum dispensing amount is
reached.

 When the cup is filled up to the level

you want, touch Save.

If you want to change the portion size
for coffee drinks made with milk or hot
water, the ingredients (components)
which make up the drink will be saved
one after the other while the drink is
being made.

The combination programmed in and
the total portion size will now be
dispensed every time that particular
drink is selected.

If the water container becomes empty
during the preparation of a drink, the
programming of the portion size will
be cancelled. The portion size will not
be saved.

– switches on at a particular time, e.g.

in the morning for breakfast (Switch on

at).

– switches off at a particular time

(Switch off at).

– switches off after a particular length

of time if none of the sensors has
been touched or a drink has not been
made (Switch off after; Timer 1 only).

You can allocate the timer functions to
individual days of the week.

For Switch on at and Switch off at, the
timer must be activated and at least
one day of the week allocated.

Selecting a timer

You can select:
– Timer 1: Switch on at, Switch off at,

Switch off after

Switch on at

The coffee machine will not switch on
at the required time if you have
activated the system lock.
The timer settings are deactivated.

If the coffee machine has switched itself
on three times via the Switch on at timer
function and no drinks have been
dispensed, the machine will not switch
itself on again automatically. This
prevents the coffee machine from
switching itself on unnecessarily, for
example, whilst you are away on
holiday.
The programmed times will, however,
remain in memory and will be
reactivated after manually switching the
machine on again.

Switch off at

In the event of a longer absence the
programmed times will remain in
memory and will be reactivated after
manually switching the machine on
again (see "Switch on at").

Water hardness

If the descaling method has been set
to Manual descaling, the coffee machine
will need to be set for the local water
hardness level. A prompt to run the
descaling programme will then appear
in the display at the right time.

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 and steam used.
Depending on the level of water
hardness set, more or fewer drinks can
be dispensed before the appliance
needs to be descaled.

The machine has four programmable
levels:

Water hardness Water

0 - 8.4 °dH
(0 -1.5 mmol/l)

8.4 - 14 °dH
(1.5 - 2.5 mmol/l)

 Select Settings .
 Select Water hardness with the

arrow sensor.

 Select the hardness level you want

and then touchOK.

The setting is now saved.

76

Automatic descaling

With automatic descaling you do not
have to do anything:

– The coffee machine does not have to

be set to the local water hardness
range.

– The descaling maintenance

programme does not need to be run.

The Miele descaling cartridge will last
for 7 to 12 months of automatic
descaling, depending on how often
the coffee machine is used.

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 therefore not
run if, for instance, you are on holiday.

77

Automatic descaling

The Miele descaling cartridge

Only use the Miele descaling
cartridge for the automatic descaling
programme. These have been
developed specifically for use in this
coffee machine.
Replacement cartridges are available
to order via the Miele webshop or
directly from Miele (see back cover
for contact details).

Please note that the Miele descaling
cartridge has a lifespan of approx.
one year after it has been placed in
the machine and filled with water for
the first time.

Do not fill the descaling cartridge
with other fluids or substances.

The Miele descaling cartridge contents
malic acid. Malic acid naturally occurs
in many types of fruit.

The descaling cartridge contains malic
acid in the form of tablets. 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 white deposits. These
will not affect the automatic descaling
programme. If necessary, you can wipe
the deposits off with a moist cloth.

A prompt will appear in the display six
days before the cartridge is depleted,
reminding you that it needs to be
replaced.
Confirm this message withOK. The
message will appear at regular intervals.

Please note that the automatic
descaling programme will not work
with a depleted or empty cartridge or
without a cartridge. 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. Please note:

– Once filled with water, the descaling

cartridge has a max. shelf life of three
weeks outside of the machine.

– It should be transported with care

and upright. Shaking the cartridge or
turning it upside down will reduce its
descaling ability, or cause the float to
become jammed.

– The cartridge should be stored

upright, in a dark place and at room
temperature (16-38°C).

Useful 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.

Manual descaling

Creating 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 cannot be guaranteed
if the descaling solution is not of the
appropriate concentration.

Miele Descaling Tablets are available to
order via the Miele webshop or directly
from Miele (see the end of this booklet
for contact details).

You will need one descaling tablet to
descale the machine.

Follow the instructions for the mixing
ratio carefully. It is important that you
do not fill the water container with
too much or too little water.
Otherwise the descaling process will
be cancelled prematurely.

Carrying out descaling

 Push the water container back into

the machine.

 Follow the further instructions given

in the display.

When Rinse the water container and fill it to

the  symbol with fresh tap water appears

Unsatisfactory results

Problem Possible cause and remedy

The coffee is not hot
enough.

Drinks are being

considerably more
slowly. The heating-up
time is getting longer
and the coffee machine
is not performing
properly.

The consistency of the
milk froth is
unsatisfactory.

The coffee grinder
makes a louder noise
than usual.

The cup has not been pre-heated.
The smaller the cup and the thicker its walls, the more
important it is to pre-heat it.

 Pre-heat the cups, e.g. using the cup heating

(depending on model).

The brewing temperature is set too low.
 Set a higher brewing temperature.

The filters in the brew unit are blocked.

 Remove the brew unit and clean it by hand.
 Degrease the brew unit.

The coffee machine needs descaling.
 Carry out the Descale the machine maintenance

programme. You will need one descaling tablet.

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.

Manual descaling: it may be necessary to descale the

The brewing temperature is too high for this type of
coffee.

 Set a lower brewing temperature.

The coffee beans are no longer fresh.
 Add fresh coffee beans to the coffee bean

container.

Insufficient coffee beans are getting into the grinder
and less ground coffee is being brewed. If you have
used a dark roast, this type of coffee bean is often
more oily. These oils can cling to the inside of the
coffee bean container and hinder the flow of beans.

 Make a coffee and observe whether the coffee

beans drop into the coffee bean container.

 Clean the coffee bean container more often if you

are using a darker, more oily bean.

Try other types of coffee bean which are less oily.

Transporting the machine

If you are not going to use the coffee
machine for an extended period of time
and you intend to transport it, e.g. when
moving house, a number of procedures
will need to be carried out:

– Empty and clean the coffee bean

container

– Empty and clean the water container

– Evaporate the coffee machine

– Remove the descaling cartridge and

insert the adapter

– Clean the interior of the machine

– Pack the machine securely

Evaporating the coffee machine

The coffee machine should be
evaporated before it is stored for a long
period of time or transported any
distance - particularly at temperatures
below freezing.

Evaporating the machine involves
removing all traces of water from the
system to prevent the risk of water and
frost damage.

The Drinks menu is visible in the display.

 Caution! Danger of burning and

scalding from hot steam coming out
of the hot water spout.

 Touch .
 Select Settings  and then Service.

 If you have switched on Automatic

occasionally, you can switch the cup
heating surface off.

You can then use hot water from the
cappuccinatore to pre-heat the cups.

Switching the machine off with the master switch and at the wall socket

If the coffee machine is not going to be
used for a longer period of time, e.g.
whilst on holiday, set the master switch
to "0" and switch it off at the wall
socket.

99

Electrical connection

Before connecting the appliance, make
sure that the connection data on the
data plate (voltage and frequency)
match the mains electricity supply.
This data must correspond in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the
appliance. Consult a qualified
electrician if in any doubt.

The connection data is given on the
data plate. The data plate can be seen
on the left-hand side when the drip tray
is pulled out.

The machine is supplied with a mains
cable with moulded plug for connection
to a 50 Hz 220-240V supply.

The coffee machine must be connected
to the mains supply via a suitable
switched socket with earthing contact.
Connection must comply with national
and local safety regulations.

The fuse rating must be at least 10A.

The socket should be next to the
appliance and easily accessible.

The machine must not be used with so­called energy saving plugs. These
reduce the amount of energy supplied
to the machine, causing it to overheat.

If the connection cable is faulty, it may
only be replaced by a qualified
electrician in order to avoid a hazard.

Do not connect the machine to the
mains electricity supply by a multi­socket adapter or an extension lead.
These do not guarantee the safety of
the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).

Do not connect the machine to an
inverter such as those used with an
autonomous energy source, e.g. solar
power. When switched on, peak loads
in the system can cause the safety
switch-off mechanism to be triggered.
This can damage the electronic unit.
