Packaging material / Disposal of old machine
Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally 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. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often 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 appliance. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre.
Ensure that your old appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Repairs and installation work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work. Installation work and repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service technician.
A damaged appliance is dangerous. Check it for any visible
damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged appliance.
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).
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used when it has
been built in.
If the coffee machine is to be built in above another appliance,

12
Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

The dispensing spouts present a danger of burning or scalding. The liquids and steam dispensed are very hot.
Please note:
– 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 nozzles. 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.
Never look directly at the lighting or use optical instruments to look at it.
Please note the following regarding water:
– When using the water container: 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.
When using a mains water connection: Empty the water container once a day.
– 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/coffee beans.
Do not fill the bean container with coffee beans which have been treated with additives or with ground coffee. Do not fill the bean container with any type of liquid.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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.
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 appliance door when it
is open as this could damage the hinges on the coffee machine.
The seal on the central spout connector is lubricated with silicone
grease. Try to avoid getting this grease on your clothing when removing and inserting containers or other components.
The machine must not be used for cleaning objects.
14
Warning and Safety instructions

Cleaning and care

It is important to switch off the coffee machine before any
cleaning or maintenance.
Clean the coffee machine and the milk flask 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.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.
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 stainless steel surfaces. The coating on the stainless steel surfaces will become damaged and lose its protective properties against soiling.
Stainless steel scratches very easily and even magnets can cause
damage to the surface.

If the water container is a little high or not pushed in all the way, check whether the surface that the water container sits on is dirty. If the water container is not sitting correctly, the drainage valve will not be sealed. Clean the surface if necessary.
28

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 "Making coffee or espresso using 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").
Pull out the coffee bean container.Push back the lid and fill the
container with coffee beans.
Slide the lid back into place.Push the coffee bean container back

Coffee the way you like it

In order to customise the coffee machine to the type of coffee being used, you can
– change the grinder setting,
– change the amount of coffee,
– set the brewing temperature, or
– pre-brew the coffee powder.

Grinder setting

When the beans are ground correctly, the coffee or espresso will flow evenly into the cup with a good crema. The crema should have an even nutbrown colour.
The grinder setting you select will be used for all coffee drinks.
There are various ways to tell whether the coffee grinder is set correctly.
The coffee has been too coarsely ground if:
– Espresso or coffee flows into the cup
too quickly.
To avoid damaging the grinder, please note the following:
Only adjust the grinder one setting at a time.
Grind the coffee beans again if you want to adjust the grinder to the next setting.
Open the appliance door.
Push the slide control one setting to
the left (for finer grinding) or one setting to the right (for coarser grinding).
Close the appliance door.
– The crema is very pale and uneven.
Set a finer grinder setting.
The coffee has been too finely ground if:
– Espresso or coffee only trickles into
the cup.
– The crema is dark brown.
Set a coarser grinder setting.
Dispense a coffee.
Then you can adjust the grinder setting with the slide control again.
The altered grinder setting will not be used until after the second coffee has been dispensed.

Coffee the way you like it

Changing the parameters of a drink

You can change the amount of coffee, pre-brewing and the brewing temperature for each drink.
The Drinks menu is visible in the display.
Touch Edit or select Make drinks.Touch Change drink.Select a drink.Touch Drink parameters.
For this drink you can now
– change the amount of coffee,
– set the brewing temperature, and
– switch on the "Pre-brewing" option.

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.
40
Decrease the amount of coffee so that less ground coffee is brewed.
Touch Amount of coffee.Select the amount of coffee you want
using the bar chart and then touchOK.
The setting is now saved.
Useful tip: If the coffee is too strong for you or it tastes bitter, try a different type of bean.

Brewing temperature

The ideal brewing temperature will depend on
– the type of coffee being used,
Coffee the way you like it
– whether an espresso or a coffee is
being prepared, and
– the altitude of the region.
If the coffee machine is located at more than 2000 metres above sea level, the brewing temperature needs to be set lower due to the change in pressure. This is because the boiling point for water at a high altitude above sea level is lower than the boiling point for water at sea level.
Useful tip: Not all types of coffee can withstand a high temperature. Certain types are too delicate - the crema on top would not be as good and the taste would be impaired.
The coffee machine has five brewing temperatures.
Swipe the screen in the Brew
temperature field until the setting you
want appears.
Touch OK.

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.
Swipe the screen in thePre-brewing
field until the setting you want appears.
Touch OK.
The setting is now saved.
The setting is now saved.
41

Portion size

The flavour of the coffee produced depends not just on the type of coffee used, but also on the amount of water used. You can programme the amount of water to suit the size of your cups and the type of coffee you are using.
For coffee drinks that use milk you can also set the amount of milk or milk froth to be dispensed with these drinks. Additionally, you can set the portion sizes for hot milk and milk froth alone.
Each type of drink has a maximum portion size that can be programmed into the machine. The coffee machine halts preparation of the coffee once this portion size has been reached. The maximum possible portion size for this type of drink is then saved in the machine.
The changed portion size is always saved in the current User profile. The name of the current User profile appears in the top-left of the display.
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.
The Drinks menu is visible in the display. Place the desired cup under the
central spout.
Touch Edit and then Change drink.Select a drink.Touch Change the portion size.
The desired drink will be made and Save will appear in the display.
When the cup is filled up to the level
you want, touch Save.
If you want to change the portion size for coffee specialities made with milk (e.g. Cappuccino), the ingredients (components) which make up the drink will be saved one after the other while the drink is being made.
When the quantity for each ingredient
reaches the level you want, touch
Save.
The combination programmed in and the total portion size will now be dispensed every time that particular drink is selected.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning by hand or in the dishwasher

The following components must only be cleaned by hand:
– Central spout cover
– Brew unit
– Bean container and lid
– Service flap
Some components of the coffee machine are dishwasher safe. However, cleaning these in the dishwasher frequently can cause them to become discoloured due to regular contact with food residues (e.g. tomatoes) in the dishwasher. The surface of these components can also become damaged.
The following components are dishwasher safe:
– Drip tray and grid
Danger of burning and scalding
on hot components or by hot liquids. Always allow the coffee machine to
cool down before cleaning it. Caution: Water in the drip tray can be very hot.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this machine. Steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
It is important to clean the machine regularly as the used coffee grounds will soon go mouldy. Milk residue can spoil and the milk pipework can become blocked.
The central spout connector cap is lubricated with silicone grease.
Take care not to get this on your clothes when removing or replacing the containers or other components.
– Drip tray cover
– Water container
– Waste container
– Central spout (without stainless steel
cover)
– Sensor cover
– Milk flask with lid
– Drip tray inside machine door

Cleaning and care
All external surfaces are susceptible to scratching. Scratches on glass surfaces could even cause a breakage. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can discolour the external surfaces. Wipe up any spillages or splashes of descaling agent immediately.
To avoid damaging the surfaces of your appliance, do not use:
– cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids or chlorides,
– solvent-based cleaning agents,
– cleaning agents containing descaling
agents,
– stainless steel cleaning agents,
– dishwasher cleaner,
– glass cleaning agents,
– oven cleaner,
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners,
– hard, abrasive sponges, e.g. pot
scourers, brushes or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents,
– dirt erasers,
– sharp metal tools.

Drip tray

Danger of burning!
If the rinsing process has just finished, wait a while before removing the drip tray as the water used for rinsing will run out of the coffee spouts.
Clean the drip tray every day to avoid unpleasant smells and mildew.
A prompt will appear in the display when the drip tray is full and needs to be emptied. Empty the drip tray at the latest when this prompt appears.
Cleaning and care
Clean the metal contact discs and the
space between them carefully. Dry everything thoroughly.
The discs will not be able to detect that the drip tray is full if they are damp or dirty. Check this area once a week, if necessary.
Clean the area underneath the drip
tray.
Open the machine door and carefully
remove the drip tray from the machine.
The grid in the drip tray prevents the water from spilling out of the tray when it is being carried.
Clean the drip tray and the grid with
hot water and a little washing-up liquid applied a soft cloth, or in the dishwasher, and dry with a cloth.

Mains water connection

Notes on connecting to the mains water supply

Connection to the mains water supply should only be carried out by a qualified and competent person in accordance with national and local regulations.
Before plumbing the appliance in, ensure that it is disconnected from the mains electricity supply.
Turn off the water supply at the tap before connecting the water intake hose to the coffee machine.
IMPORTANT Australia and New Zealand. This appliance must be installed according to AS/NZS 3500.1 and AS/NZS 3500.2. Backflow prevention is already integrated in the appliance.
The water quality must conform to the requirements for drinking water in the country in which the appliance is being installed.
This appliance meets the requirements of IEC 61770 and ATS 5200.105.
All devices used for connecting the appliance to the mains water supply must comply with the current national and local safety regulations in the country in which the appliance is being installed.

The machine is only suitable for connection to a cold water line that

– is directly connected to the fresh
water mains in order to ensure sufficient circulation and therefore good water quality.
Avoid connection to a water supply in which the water might stagnate. This will affect the taste of drinks prepared with the coffee machine.
– The machine is constructed to
comply with the relevant DIN standard and may be connected to the mains drinking water supply without a non-return valve if national regulations permit.
– The water inlet must be able to
withstand the required operating pressure.
– The water flow pressure needs to be
between 1 and 10 bar (105 and 10 Pa).
– The stainless steel hose supplied is
1.5m long. The hose may not be lengthened as too much water would then remain in the hose, adversely affecting the quality of the coffee.
– National and local hygiene
regulations must be complied with.
– A tap must be provided between the
stainless steel hose and the household water supply to ensure that the water supply can be cut off if necessary.

The tap should be easily accessible after the machine has been built in.
Mains water connection
If the stainless steel hose supplied is damaged, it must only be replaced with an original Miele replacement hose, available from Miele or at www.miele-shop.com (depending on country). Make sure the hose is suitable for carrying drinking water.

Fitting the stainless steel hose to the appliance

Make sure that the stainless steel hose is not kinked or damaged. The stainless steel hose must not be shortened.
Remove the cover cap from the
bottom of the back panel of the machine.
Take the angled end of the stainless
steel hose and check whether there is a washer. Fit one, if not.
Screw the stainless steel hose
coupling nut onto the threaded union.
Ensure that all connections are water
tight.

Connection to the water inlet

Before making plumbing connections, ensure the appliance is disconnected from the mains electricity supply.
Connection to the water supply should be carried out by a qualified plumber and should incorporate a tap with a 3/4" thread.
Check that the filter/sealing ring is
present. The filter/sealing ring must be present before connecting the hose to the tap.
Connect the stainless steel hose to
the tap.
Use the stainless steel hose supplied with the machine. Old or used hoses must not be connected to the coffee machine.
Ensure that it is screwed into position
correctly.
The connection point is subject to
mains water pressure. Turn on the tap slowly and check for leaks. Correct the position of the seal and union if necessary.
You can now continue with the installation of the coffee machine in its furniture unit (see "Installation").

Electrical connection

Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, make sure that the connection data 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 necessary connection information is given on the data plate inside your appliance.
Danger of injury! All electrical work should be undertaken by a suitably qualified and competent person. Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for unauthorised work. Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after installation or repair work has been carried out. The appliance is supplied with a mains connection cable and plug for connection to AC50Hz, 230V.
in the system can cause the safety switch off mechanism to be triggered. This can damage the electronic unit.
The machine must not be used with so­called energy saving plugs either. These reduce the amount of energy supplied to the machine causing it to overheat.
The fuse rating must be at least 16A.
Connection should be made via a fused plug and suitable switched socket which is easily accessible after installation. If the mains socket is not accessible after the appliance has been built in, a separator for each terminal must be present. There must be an all­pole contact gap of at least 3mm in the switch (including switch, fuses and relays according to EN60335).
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

Building-in and combination options

The appliance is designed to be built into a tall unit.

Installation

It can also be combined with other Miele built-in appliances. If the coffee machine is to be built in above another appliance, there must be a full-width, closed shelf between them. Exception: When built in above a warming drawer.
You can connect the warming drawer directly to the coffee machine with a special connection cable (optional accessory). This enables the warming drawer to be switched on at the same time as the coffee machine.
Only connect a Miele warming drawer to the coffee machine. You can find out the suitable warming drawers for this coffee machine by contacting Miele.

Installation

Ventilation

Condensate can damage the coffee machine or the housing unit.
The ventilation gaps given must be observed.
Do not cover or block the ventilation gaps.
Dust the ventilation gaps regularly.
Steam which is created when water is heated up can condense on the interior and the inside of the front of the coffee machine.
During installation, ensure there is sufficient ventilation at the rear of the appliance so that steam and warm air are able to escape without hindrance.
The housing unit should be configured as follows:
– A ventilation gap of at least 40mm
depth must be allowed for behind the appliance for air to circulate.
– The ventilation cross-sections in the
plinth, housing unit and above the appliance must amount to at least
200cm2 to ensure that air can circulate without hindrance.

Top ventilation cross-section

The top ventilation cross-section can be achieved in various ways:
– Air intake occurs via the plinth at
the bottom of the machine and the air escapes at the top at the rear of the housing unit.

Installation

Building in the coffee machine

Before installation make sure that there is no power supply to the machine. This also applies should it ever need to be taken out of its housing unit.
The machine may only be operated when built-in and in an ambient temperature range between +10°C to +38°C.
You will need two Allen keys (size 3 and 5) for installing the machine.
To align the machine front with the furniture front, ensure that there is a sealing strip provided all the way around the building-in niche or around the coffee machine.
Useful tip: Tip: We recommend providing a place to sit the coffee machine which is the same height as the building-in niche. This will make it easier to connect the machine to the electricity supply and the water inlet.
Using the large allen key, unscrew all
four feet out by about 2mm.
The feet can be unscrewed by up to approx. 10mm.
Connect the appliance to the water
inlet hose (see "Mains water connection").
If the housing unit niche is not fitted
with a sealing strip, you should fit a Miele sealing strip to the machine before installing it. This is fitted from the back of the machine.
The sealing strip is available to order from Miele.
Connect the appliance to the
electricity supply.
Take care not to damage the electrical connection or the plumbing connection when pushing the coffee machine into the niche.
Push the coffee machine all the way
into the building-in niche.
Check the height of the coffee
machine to make sure that it is sitting centrally in the niche and that it is level. If this is not the case, realign the machine using the four feet.
99
Installation
The appliance comes with four M5 socket screws to help you align and secure it in the building-in niche.
Open the appliance door, and
partially tighten the side socket screws.
Carefully turn the lower socket
screws to centre the machine in the niche.
Tighten both upper socket screws by
hand to secure the machine in the unit. Do not overtighten them.

Adjusting the door hinges

If the appliance door becomes difficult to open or close after installation, you can adjust the hinges to realign it (TX20):
Tighten the screw to align it flush
with the furniture front.
Tighten the screw to align the door
horizontally and vertically.
