Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.

Disposal of your old machine

Electrical and electronic machines often contain valuable materials. They also contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your machine. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection/recycling centre, or contact your Dealer for advice. Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

be kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing, children could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their head and suffocate.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Installation and repairs may only be carried out by a Miele

authorised service technician. Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons can cause considerable danger to users. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

A damaged coffee machine could be dangerous. Before building

in the machine, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not use a damaged machine.

To avoid the risk of damage to the machine, make sure the

connection data (fuse rating,voltage and frequency) on the data plate corresponds to the household supply, before connecting the machine to the mains supply. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.

The electrical safety of this machine can only be guaranteed if

correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician.

Do not connect the coffee machine to the mains electricity supply

by a multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the machine.

For safety reasons, this machine may only be used when it has

been built in.

If the coffee machine is to be built in above another appliance,

there must be a full-width, closed shelf between them.

The coffee machine must not be used in a non-stationary location

(e.g. on a ship).

Warning and Safety instructions

Only use the coffee machine in rooms where the ambient

temperature is between +10 °C and +38 °C.

Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation around the coffee

machine. The ventilation gaps in the furniture housing unit and the gap between the top of the housing unit and the ceiling must be at least 200 cm the machine or the housing unit.

If the coffee machine is installed behind a kitchen furniture door,

it may only be used with the furniture door open. Do not close the furniture door while the coffee machine is in use.

While the machine is under guarantee, repairs should only be

undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.

Miele can only guarantee the safety of the machine when original

Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts.

. Otherwise condensation can build up and damage

during installation and repair work.

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not 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.

Only use genuine original Miele accessories with this machine.

Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Correct use

The spouts present a danger of burning or scalding.

The liquids and steam dispensed are very hot. Water in the drip tray can also be very hot. Take great care when emptying it.

Please note:

– Keep well away from the area underneath the spouts when hot

liquids and steam are being dispensed.

– Do not touch hot components.

– The spouts can spray hot liquid or steam. Make sure that the

central spout is clean and that it is fitted correctly.

Never look directly at the lighting or use optical instruments to

look at it.

The machine must not be used for cleaning objects.

Clean the coffee machine and the milk flask before using for the

first time (see "Cleaning and care").

Warning and Safety instructions

Please note the following regarding water:

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

–

and other liquids could damage the 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 a reverse osmosis unit in this machine. This

–

would damage it.

Only fill the bean container with roasted espresso/coffee beans.

Do not fill the bean container with coffee beans which have been treated with additives or with ground coffee.

Sugar will damage the machine. Only use pure coffee beans. Do

not use coffee beans which have been treated with anything containing caramel, any kind of sugar or other substances. Do not put liquids containing sugar in the coffee machine.

Only add ground coffee or the Miele cleaning tablets for

degreasing the brew unit to the ground coffee chute.

Do not use milk with additives. Sugar additives will stick to the

milk pipework and damage the machine.

If using animal milk, use only pasteurised milk.

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 swing from or hang anything on the machine front when it

is open as this could damage the machine.

Warning and Safety instructions

Please note the following with regard to cleaning the coffee

machine:

Always disconnect the coffee machine from the electrical supply

–

before cleaning.

Clean the coffee machine and the milk flask daily (see "Cleaning

–

and care").

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean the coffee

–

machine. Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Descale the coffee machine regularly using the appropriate

–

number of Miele descaling tablets for 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.

– 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.

For machines with stainless steel surfaces:

Do not use sticky notes, transparent adhesive tape, masking tape

or other types of adhesive on stainless steel surfaces. These damage the surface, causing it to lose its dirt repellent protective coating.

The finish on stainless steel surfaces is susceptible to scratching.

Even magnets can cause scratching.

Please read the operating instructions and take the time to familiarise yourself with the coffee machine before using it for the first time.

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 quantity of water and steam used. The number of drinks which can be dispensed before the machine needs to be descaled will depend on the water hardness level set.

Set the water hardness level on the coffee machine to the water hardness level for the local area to ensure that the machine functions correctly and is not damaged. This will ensure that the reminder to descale the machine will appear in the display at the correct time.

The machine has four programmable levels:

Water hardness Local water

0 - 8.4 °dH (0 -1.5 mmol/l)

8.4 - 14 °dH (1.5 - 2.5 mmol/l)

14-21°dH (2.5 - 3.7 mmol/l)

back into the coffee machine. Close the front.

Switching the coffee machine on and off

Switching on

When the machine is switched on it heats up and rinses out the pipework. This cleans and heats the pipework in preparation for making coffee.

If the coffee machine still has an operating temperature higher than 60 °C, then rinsing will not take place.

Touch the On/Off sensor K.

Tip: If you do not want the water from the rinsing process to flow into the drip tray, place a suitable container, e.g. the small container supplied, underneath the central spout before making the first coffee of the day.

At first "Heating-up phase" will appear in the display and once the coffee machine has heated up, "Appliance rinsing" will appear. Hot water will be dispensed from the central spout.

Switching off

Touch the On/Off sensor K.

If coffee has been dispensed, the coffee machine will rinse the coffee pipework automatically before switching off.

Switching off for longer periods of time

If the machine is not going to be used for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst on holiday:

^ Empty the drip tray, the waste

container and the water container.

You can now make drinks.

Clean all components thoroughly, including the brew unit, the central spout connector and the drip catcher in the machine front.

Switch off the machine.

If you are leaving the front open while the coffee machine is not in being used for a long time, disconnect it from the mains to save energy.

Adjusting the central spout to the correct cup height

You can adjust the central spout to suit the height of the cup you are using so that the coffee or espresso will not cool down too quickly and the crema will have a better consistency.

^ Pull the central spout down to the

same level as the rim of the cup.

or ^ Push the spout up until there is

enough room to fit a larger cup or mug underneath.
