IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical safety

Installation and repairs may only be carried out by a Miele-autho-
rized service technician. Installation, repairs and other work by un­qualified persons can cause considerable danger to users.
A damaged coffee system could be dangerous. Before building in
the machine, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not use a damaged machine.
Before connecting the coffee system, check the voltage and fre-
quency indicated on the data plate against the voltage and fre­quency of the household electrical supply. This data must correspond in order to prevent damage to the coffee system. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
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.
Reliable and safe operation of the coffee system can only be guar-
anteed if it is connected to the electrical supply.
Do not connect the machine to the electrical supply using an ex-
tension cord or power bar.
The coffee system may not be used in mobile installations such as
ships.
For safety reasons, this machine may only be used when it has
been built in.
If the coffee system is to be built in above another appliance,
there must be a full-width, closed shelf between them.
Only use the coffee system in rooms where the ambient tempera-
ture is between +50°F (10°C) and +100°F (38°C).
8
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not cover or block the aeration and ventilation cross-sections.
Condensation water can damage the coffee system or surrounding cabinets.
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation around the coffee sys-
tem. The ventilation gaps in the housing unit and the gap between the top of the housing unit and the ceiling must be at least 78 3/4" (200cm2). Otherwise condensation can build up and damage the machine or the housing unit.
If the coffee system is installed behind a cabinet door, it may only
be used with the door open. This will prevent the formation of heat and humidity and subsequent damage to the appliance and/or hous­ing unit. Do not close the cabinet door while the coffee system is in use. Ensure the coffee system has cooled down completely before closing the door.
Repair work should only be performed by a Miele-authorized ser-
vice technician. Repairs by unqualified persons can cause consider­able danger to users.
For repairs, the coffee system must be disconnected from the
electrical power supply. The coffee system is only disconnected from the power supply if
– the circuit breaker has been tripped, or
– the fuse is removed, or
– the power cord is disconnected from the power supply.

11
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Proper use

Danger of burning and scalding from the dispensers. The liquids and steam dispensed are very hot.
Please note:
– Keep away from the area underneath the dispensers when hot liq-
uids and steam are being dispensed.
– Do not touch hot components.
– Hot liquid or steam could spatter from the dispensers. Ensure that
the main dispenser is clean and fitted correctly.
– Water in the drip tray can also be very hot. Take care when emp-
tying it.

Please note the following regarding water:
– In case a water tank is used: Fill the water tank only with fresh,
cold tap water. Hot or warm water or other liquids could damage the coffee system.
– Change the water every day to prevent a build-up of bacteria.
If the machine is connected to the water supply: Empty the water tank once a day.
– Do not use mineral water. Mineral water will cause lime scale de-
posits 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 or coffee beans.
Do not fill the bean container with coffee beans that have been treated or with ground coffee. Do not fill liquids in the bean container.
12
IMPORTANT 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 system grinder as soon as grinding begins.
Do not use coffee beans that have been treated with caramel,
sugar or other substances. Sugar will damage the coffee system.
Only add ground coffee or cleaning tablets to the ground coffee
chute.
Do not use any caramelized ground coffee. The sugar in the cof-
fee will stick to and block the brew unit of the coffee system. The cleaning tablets for degreasing the brew unit will not remove this type of deposit.
Only use plain milk. Most sugary additives can clog the milk lines.
and damage the machine.
If using dairy milk make sure that it has been pasteurized.Do not place any alcohol mixtures which are alight underneath the
main dispenser. The flames could ignite plastic components and cause them to melt.

13
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Cleaning and care

The coffee system must be disconnected from the electrical sup-
ply before cleaning or maintenance.
Clean the coffee system and the milk flask thoroughly before us-
ing for the first time (see "Cleaning and care").
All parts of the milk system need to be cleaned thoroughly and
regularly.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this machine. Steam could
reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Descale the coffee system regularly depending on the water hard-
ness 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 that is not of the appropriate concentra­tion.
Degrease the brew unit regularly with Miele cleaning tablets. De-
pending on the natural oil content of the coffee used, the brew unit can become blocked quite quickly.
Rinsing coffee grounds down the drain can cause the sink to clog.
Instead, dispose of your coffee grounds appropriately as biodegrad­able waste (where facilities exist) or by composting.
14
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Coffee the way you like it

In order to customize the coffee system to the type of coffee being used, you can
– Change the grinder setting
– Change the amount of coffee
– Set the brewing temperature
– 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 is ground too coarse, 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 machine door.
– the crema is very pale and uneven.
Set a finer grinder setting.
The coffee is ground too fine, if
– espresso or coffee flows into the cup
very slowly.
– the crema is dark brown.
Set a coarser grinder setting.
38
Prepare a coffee drink.
After that, you can adjust the grinder setting again.
The altered grinder setting not consid­erably noticeable 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 displayed.
Tap Edit or select Make drinks.Tap Change drink.Select a drink.Tap Drinks parameters.
For this coffee drink, you can do the fol­lowing:
– Change the amount to be ground
– Set the brewing temperature
– Turn on the "Pre-brewing" option

Amount of coffee

The coffee system 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 flows into the cup
very slowly.
– the crema is dark brown.
– the espresso or coffee tastes bitter.
Decrease the amount of coffee so that less ground coffee is brewed.
Tap Amount of coffee.Using the bar chart, select the de-
sired amount to be ground and then tapOK.
The setting is now saved.
Tip: If the coffee is too strong for you or it tastes bitter, try a different type of bean.
39
Coffee the way you like it

Brewing temperature

The ideal brewing temperature will de­pend on:
– the type of coffee,
– whether an espresso or a coffee is
being prepared, and
– the altitude of the region.
If the coffee system is located at more than 6562 ft. (2000 meters) 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.
Tip: Not all types of coffee can with­stand high temperatures. Certain types are too delicate - the crema on top would not be as good and the taste would be impaired.
The coffee system has five brewing temperatures.

Pre-brewing ground coffee

When the pre-brewing function is turned 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 flavor of the coffee.
You can set pre-brewing for a normal length of time or an extra long length of time. Alternatively, you can turn off the "Pre-brewing" function. The machine is supplied with the "Pre­brewing" function turned off.
Swipe across the display in the Pre-
Brewing field until the required setting
appears.
Tap OK.
The setting is now saved.
Swipe across the display in the Brew
temperature field until the required set-
ting appears.
Tap OK.
The setting is now saved.

Portion size

The flavor of the coffee produced de­pends not just on the type of coffee used, but also on the amount of water used. You can program 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 system 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 profile appears in the top left-hand side of the display.
TheDrinks menu is displayed. Place the desired cup under the main
dispenser.
Tap Edit and then Change drink.Select a drink.Tap Change the portion size.
The desired drink is prepared and Save appears in the display.
When the cup is filled up to the de-
sired level, tap Save.
If you want to change the the drink por­tions for coffee specialties with milk, the ingredients are the drink are saved one after the other during preparation.
When the quantity for each ingredient
reaches the desired level, tap Save.
The programmed mix of ingredients and portion sizes will now be dispensed ev­ery time that particular drink is selected.
If the water tank becomes empty while making a drink, the machine will stop programming the portion size. The portion size will not be saved.

– Coffee bean container and the coffee
bean container lid
– Service cover
Some components of the coffee sys­tem are dishwasher-safe. However, cleaning these in the dishwasher fre­quently can cause them to become discolored due to regular contact with food residues (e.g. tomatoes) in the dishwasher. The surface of these components can also become dam­aged.
The following parts are dishwasher- safe:
Danger of burning and scalding
on hot components or by hot liquids. Always allow the coffee system 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 to prevent a build-up of bacteria and clogging of the milk pipework.
The cap of the main dispenser con­nector is lubricated with silicone grease.
Take care not to get it on your clothes when removing or replacing the containers or other components.

All external surfaces are susceptible to scratching. Scratches on glass surfaces could even cause a break­age. Contact with unsuitable clean­ing agents can discolor the external surfaces. Wipe up any spillages or splashes of descaling agent immedi­ately.
To better maintain your appliance avoid the following:
– Cleaning products containing soda,
ammonia, acid, or chloride
– Cleaners containing solvents
– Lime removers
– Stainless steel cleaners
– dishwasher detergent,
– Oven cleaners
– Abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. pow-
der cleaners and cream cleaners
Cleaning and care
– Scouring pads, such as pot scrub-
bers and brushes, or used sponges that still contain abrasive cleanser residue
– Eraser sponges
– Metal scrapers
Glass cleaners may be used to clean the exterior. However do not allow them to sit or "puddle", this can cause damage to the surface.
Remove the cleaner promptly.

Connecting the appliance to the water supply line

Make sure that the supply line is not kinked or damaged.
Remove the water connection cover
from the bottom of the back panel of the machine.
Take the angled side of the brass fit-
ting and check whether a gasket is present. If not, insert one.
Screw the supply line coupling nut
onto the threaded union.
Ensure that the supply line is cor-
rectly fitted and that it is water-tight.

Connecting to the water supply

Before establishing the fixed net-
work connection, ensure the appli­ance is disconnected from the elec­trical supply.
Connection to the water supply should be carried out by a qualified plumber and should incorporate a 1/4" water line connected to a shut off valve.
Plumbing
Screw the supplied brass compres-
sion fitting, with the 3/4" BPT end, tightly onto the water connector of the coffee machine. (Tighten the compression fitting by hand, do not use a tool.) The fitting includes an opening for standard 1/4" piping.
Old or used hoses must not be con­nected to this coffee system.
Connect the compression fitting to
the water supply.
Slowly open the shut-off valve to the
water supply and check for leaks. If necessary, check whether the sealing ring and fittings are tight.
You can now continue with the installa­tion of the coffee system in its housing unit (see "Installation").
Check that the gasket is present. Re-
place, if not, insert before connecting to the water supply.

Electrical connection

Make sure that the power to the ma­chine is OFF before installing or per­forming maintenance or repairs. All electrical work should be performed by a qualified electrician in strict accor­dance with national and local safety regulations. Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.
Verify that the voltage, load and circuit rating information found on the data plate match the household electrical supply. This data must match to pre­vent damage to the coffee system. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician.
The necessary connection information is given on the data plate inside your appliance.
The coffee system comes equipped with a 6ft (1.8m) power cord with a NEMA 5-15P molded plug for connec­tion to a 120V, 15A, 60Hz power sup­ply.
If there is any question concerning the electrical connection of this appliance to your power supply, please consult a licensed electrician or contact Miele’s Technical Service Department. See back page for contact information.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED
Do not connect the appliance to a power inverter or directly to power pro­duced outside of the normal electrical grid (i.e. direct solar or wind power source).
Direct connection to such power sources can cause power surges and tripped breakers when the appliance is turned on, and could damage the appli­ance.
Do not connect the appliance to energy saving plugs or outlets. The reduction of power to the appliance caused by these devices will cause the appliance to run hot and may damage it and/or shorten its usable life.

Ventilation

Condensation water can damage the coffee system or surrounding cabi­nets.
The specified ventilation cross-sec­tions absolutely must be observed.
Do not cover or block the ventilation cross-sections.
Clean the ventilation cross-sections on a regular basis.
Due to the heating of water, water steam can condense inside the coffee system and inside the door.
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 surrounding cabinets should be de­signed as follows:
– A ventilation gap of at least 1
5/8" (40mm) depth must be provided behind the appliance for air to circu­late.
– The ventilation cross-sections in the
plinth, surrounding cabinets and above the appliance must amount to at least 783/4 square inches
(200cm2) to ensure that air can circu­late without obstruction.

Top ventilation cross-section

The ventilation cross section at the top of the appliance can be constructed in different ways:
– Air intake occurs via the plinth at
the bottom of the appliance and the air escapes at the top at the rear of the surrounding cabinets.
