IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

Read all instructions before installation or use of the coffee system.

Please read these instructions carefully to prevent accidents and machine damage.

This appliance complies with current safety requirements. Improper use of the appliance can cause personal injury and material damage.

This appliance is for household use only, to prepare espresso, cappuccino and coffee.

Do not use this appliance other than for its intended use. Any other use could be dangerous.

The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use of the appliance.

Electrical safety

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 manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damages caused by the lack, or inadequacy, of an effective grounding system.

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).

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

Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

Only use Miele original spare parts. Only then can the manufacturer guarantee the safety of this machine.

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 the machine is installed in combination with other appliances, a protective base should be installed between the appliance and the unit.

Do not install or use outdoors even if installed in the display cabinet.

To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons do not submerge the cord or plugs in water or other liquids.

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.

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

Use

The coffee system must be maintained daily to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and mold. Please read the "Cleaning and care" section of this booklet. All parts are dishwasher safe except the brew unit and bean container.

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.

Persons which lack physical, sensory or mental abilities or experience with the machine should not use it without supervision or instruction by a responsible person.

Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

Rinse the lines and the froth dispenser, and clean the unit before the first use.

To avoid injuries allow the coffee system to cool before cleaning or putting on and taking off parts. Turn the machine off at the main switch when not in use and before cleaning.

5

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 mineral water. Mineral water leads to heavy calcium buildup 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 use the machine when the froth dispenser is removed. Danger of scalding with hot steam!

Never use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance. Pressurized steam could damage electrical components and cause a short circuit.

The appliance must be descaled regularly with the supplied descaling tablets. In areas with very hard water the machine may need to be descaled more often. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damages resulting from insufficient descaling.

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.

Sugar can damage the appliance! 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 coffee 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.

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 fat content of the coffee, the brew unit may clog. Clean the brew unit every 200 cups with a cleaning tablet. The display shows a respective request.

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.

The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock or injury to persons.

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 notch 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.

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

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.
