Before installing the appliance,

check for externally visible damage. Do not operate a damaged appliance.

Before connecting the appliance to

the electrical supply make sure that the voltage and frequency listed on the data plate correspond with the household electrical supply. If in doubt, consult a qualified technician.

Be certain your appliance is

properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. 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.

The appliance must be properly

installed before operation to ensure that no electrical components are accessible. Ensure that power is not supplied to the appliance while installation work, repairs or maintenance is performed.

Do not use an extension cord to

connect the appliance to electricity. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (danger of overheating and open ground circuit).

If the appliance is installed behind a

door front, use the appliance only when the door front is open. Do not close the door front when the appliance is in operation.

Before service or maintenance

disconnect the power supply by either removing the fuse, "tripping" the circuit breaker or unplugging the unit.

This appliance is not designed for

maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as recreational vehicles or aircraft. However, under certain conditions it may be possible for installation in these applications. Please contact the Miele Technical Service Department with specific requirements.

Installation work and repairs must

only be performed by a trained technician in accordance with national and local safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unauthorized persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.

While the appliance is under

warranty repairs should only be performed by an authorized service technician. Otherwise the warranty is void.

replaced by Miele original spare parts only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safety of the appliance.

To protect against fire, electric

shock and injury to persons do not submerge the cord or plugs in water or other liquids.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not let the cord hang over the

edge of a table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

Do not operate any appliance with a

damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Miele.

appliance first, then plug it into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn the machine off, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.

Never open the outer casing of the

appliance. Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is dangerous and may cause machine damage.

If installed in combination with

another appliance, a protective base must be installed between the coffee system and the appliance.

Install or locate this appliance only

in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

Use

Caution! Do not look directly or with an optical instrument into the lighting - laser radiation.

Caution! Risk of burns when dispensing hot beverages, they are extremely hot.

Before the first use, flush the supply

lines for water and milk and thoroughly clean the coffee system and stainless-steel milk container.

Only fill the water tank with cold,

fresh tap water. Warm or hot water, or any other liquids may damage the machine. The water should be changed daily to prevent bacteria or mold growth.

Do not use deionized or mineral

water. They may lead to heavy calcium built-up in the machine that can damage the unit.

Do not put anything but coffee

beans into the beans container. Do not put ground coffee in the beans container, it will damage the grinding unit.

Do not fill anything but ground

coffee or a cleaning tablet (for the brew unit) in the funnel for ground coffee, otherwise it will get damaged.

Only use plain milk. Flavored milk

products contain substances that can clog the coffee system.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Caramelized or otherwise pre-treated coffee beans or other sugar containing beverages must not be put in the machine.

Never place a cup with an

alcohol-coffee mixture underneath the main dispenser. Plastic parts of the unit could catch fire!

The hot water and steam dispensed

could cause scalding. These functions must be used carefully. Never hold any parts of the body under the steam nozzle or the hot water dispenser. The machine must never be used to clean objects.

Never use a steam cleaner to clean

the appliance. Pressurized steam could damage electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Clean the coffee system daily to

prevent bacterial growth. All parts of the coffee system are dishwasher-safe except for the brew unit, bean container, stainless-steel milk container and lid, and main dispenser cover. Failure to properly maintain machine may cause health issues.

Be aware of how long milk in stored

in the milk container. If milk is not continually cooled it can readily spoil causing illness. Be sure the milk container and pipework are properly cleaned and maintained. See "Cleaning and Care" for more information.

regularly with the supplied descaling tablets. In areas with very hard water the machine may need to be descaled more often.

Only use the descaling tablets

provided by Miele. Take care to use the correct mixture of water and descaler, otherwise it may cause damage.

Depending on the oil content of the

coffee, the brew unit may clog. Clean the brew unit every 200 cups with a cleaning tablet. The display shows a reminder message.

Dispose of the coffee waste in a

trash can, not in the sink. The sink could get clogged.

Do not hang, lean, sit or place heavy

items on the door. The machine could be damaged.

If you use ground coffee, only one serving is prepared at a time. The appliance always uses the entire portion of ground coffee loaded into the funnel, for one beverage.

Beverages with milk

Stainless steel milk container

The stainless steel milk container is vacuum insulated, to keep milk cold for a period of time. With an ambient temperature of about 68°F (20°C), milk at 43°F (6°C) can be stored for 11-12 hours and remain under 55°F (13°C). (Milk that is warmer than 55°F (13°C) should not be used because it will not make good milk froth.) Milk cannot be stored as long if there is a warming drawer underneath the coffee machine.

Do not fill the container to the rim, leave a gap of approx. 1"-1½" (2 - 3 cm) from the top.

Make sure to keep the top and seals of the container clean. Soiling can cause affect the functioning of the milk container.

Cold milk is best for creating froth.

Always pre-warm the cup with hot water, before you prepare a beverage.

Preparing drinks

To prepare beverages with milk,

place the lid on the stainless steel

milk container and turn the lid to the left, so that it clicks into place.

^ Open the appliance door and hang

the milk container in the appliance (as shown).

Close the appliance door.

Cappuccino, latte macchiato, hot milk, froth

After use

Before turning the machine off, or at the end of the day, flush the water lines, the brew unit, the spouts and the milk pipework in order to prevent the machine from clogging (see "Cleaning and care").

You can now operate the appliance as you would for a "standard" profile.

Adjusting the coffee grinder

The finer the coffee beans are ground determines the strength of the coffee and the quality of the crema.

To prevent machine damage adjust the coffee grinder one level at a time and let the beans grind before adjusting another notch. Otherwise the machine will be damaged.

The grinder should be adjusted:

If the espresso flows too quickly into

–

the cup, the pressure cannot be built up because the beans have been ground too coarsely. The grinder should be adjusted to a finer setting.

– If the espresso only trickles into the

cup, the beans have been ground too fine and the coffee will be bitter. The grinder should be adjusted to a coarser setting.

– If the crema is evenly colored but

pale, the ground coffee is too coarse.

To adjust the grinder setting

Push the slide control to the left for a

finer grind or to the right for a coarser grind.

You should be able to feel the notches when moving the slide control.

If the slide control will not move:

^ Close the machine and dispense a

cup of coffee.

Then try to move the slide control again.

–

If the crema is very dark brown on one side, graduating almost to white on the other, the ground coffee is too fine.
