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.

Disposing of your old
appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also
responsible (by law, depending on
country) for deleting any personal data
that may be stored on the appliance
being disposed of. Please ensure that
your old appliance poses no risk to
children while being stored prior to
disposal.

8

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

 Installation work or repairs should only be carried out by a Miele

authorised technician. Unauthorised or incorrect installation work or
repairs can pose considerable danger to users.

 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 (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 coffee machine can only be

guaranteed when 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.

 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 are a fire hazard
and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

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

(e.g. on a ship).

 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 (except when
it is combined with a suitable built-in plate/food warming drawer).

 Only use the coffee machine in rooms where the ambient

temperature is between +16°C and +38°C.

9

Warning and Safety instructions

 A minimum installation height of 850mm must be observed.
 This coffee machine must not be installed behind a closed cabinet

door because heat and moisture can build up behind it. This can
result in damage to the machine and/or furniture unit.

 The coffee machine must be disconnected from the electricity

supply during repair work.

 While the machine is under warranty, repairs should only be

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

 Miele can only guarantee the safety of the machine when original

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

 Never 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 or electric
shock.

 Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used,

warranty, performance and/or product liability claims will be
invalidated.

10

Warning and Safety instructions

11

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

 Danger of burning and scalding on the dispensing spouts.
The liquids and steam dispensed are very hot.

Keep well away from the area underneath the spouts when hot
liquids and steam are being dispensed.

Do not touch hot components.
Hot liquid or steam could spatter from the nozzles. Ensure that the

central spout is clean and fitted correctly.
Before opening the door, remove any containers from the drip tray

in the machine door.
Water in the drip tray can also be very hot. Take care when

emptying it.

 Danger of injury to the eyes.
Never look directly at the lighting or use optical instruments to look

at it.

 Please note the following regarding water:

– If the water container is filled manually: only use cold, fresh tap

water to fill the water container. Hot or warm water or other liquids
can damage the coffee machine.

– Change the water every day to prevent a build-up of bacteria.

If the machine is plumbed into the mains water supply: empty the
water container once a day.

– Do not use carbonated water.

 Only put roasted coffee beans in the bean containers. Do not

place coffee beans which have been treated with additives or ground
coffee inside the bean containers.

 Do not fill the bean containers with any type of liquid.

12

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 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 including sugary liquids. Sugar will
damage the coffee machine.

 Only use milk without additives. Additives in milk usually contain

sugar and this will stick to the milk pipework.

 If using dairy milk make sure that it has been pasteurised.
 When making tea, please follow the instructions on the packaging.
 Do not place flaming alcohol mixtures 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 hinges on the coffee machine.

 The machine must not be used for cleaning objects.

13

Warning and Safety instructions

Cleaning and care

 Clean the coffee machine and the milk flask daily, particularly

before using them for the first time.

 All parts of the milk system need to be cleaned thoroughly and

regularly. Milk contains bacteria which proliferate rapidly with
inadequate cleaning.

 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.

 Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this machine. Steam could

reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

 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.

14

Warning and Safety instructions

For machines with stainless steel surfaces:

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

or other types of adhesive on the stainless steel surfaces. These will
damage the stainless steel surfaces, causing them to lose their dirt­repellent protective coating.

 The finish on stainless steel surfaces is susceptible to scratching.

Even magnets can cause scratching.

Making drinks

 Danger of burning and scalding

on the dispensing spouts.
The liquids and steam dispensed are

very hot and can cause scalding.
Keep well away from the area

underneath the spouts when hot
liquids and steam are being
dispensed.

Do not touch hot components.

Making coffee with and without milk

The following drinks can be made:

– Ristretto is a strong, concentrated

espresso. It is prepared with the
same amount of coffee as for an
espresso but with a lot less water.

– Espresso is a strong aromatic coffee

with a thick hazelnut brown coloured
froth – known as the crema – on top.
We recommend using espresso­roasted coffee beans to make an
espresso.

– Coffee differs from espresso by the

increased amount of water and the
roast of the beans.
We recommend using coffee beans
of the correct roast to make the
coffee.

– Cappuccinoconsists of approx.

2thirds milk froth and 1third
espresso.

– Latte macchiato consists of 1third

each of hot milk, milk froth and
espresso.

– Caffè latte consists of espresso and

hot milk.

– Cappuccino italiano has the same

proportions of milk froth and
espresso as a cappuccino. The
difference is that the espresso is
added first and then the milk froth.

– Espresso macchiato is an espresso

with a small amount of milk froth on
top.

– Flat white is a special variety of

cappuccino that contains
significantly more espresso than milk
froth for an intensive coffee aroma.

– Café au lait. This is an espresso with

slightly hotter milk.

Hot milk or milk froth can also be
made.

– Long coffee is a coffee with

considerably more water.

– Long black. This is made with hot

water and two shots of espresso.

– Caffè Americano consists of

espresso and hot water. The
espresso is made first, then the hot
water is dispensed into the cup.

Making drinks

Preparing milk

Milk or milk alternatives (e.g. soya
milk) containing added sugar can
clog up the milk pipe and the rest of
the milk pipework. Residues from
unsuitable liquids can interfere with
milk preparation.

The milk used must not contain any
additives.

Only use pasteurised cow's milk.

Tip: Using cold cow's milk (<10°C)
with a protein content of at least 3%
will produce the perfect milk froth.
You can select milk with a fat content
according to preference. With whole
milk (at least3.5% fat), the milk froth
will be slightly creamier than with low­fat milk.

The milk flask

Milk is not cooled in the milk flask.
For high-quality milk froth, always
use cold milk (<10°C).

Ground quantity

The coffee machine can grind and brew

7.5–12.5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

Brewing temperature

The ideal brewing temperature will
depend on

– the type of coffee being used,

– whether an espresso or a coffee is

being made, and

– the air pressure in the region.

Tip: Not all types of coffee tolerate high
temperatures. Several types are
sensitive to high temperatures, resulting
in an impaired crema and taste.

You can also adjust the brewing
temperature for making tea and
dispensing warm and hot water.

Pre-brewing the 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 short or
long length of time, or deselect “ Pre­brewing ” altogether.
The machine is supplied with the “Pre­brewing” function switched off.

– 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.

Unsatisfactory results

Problem Cause and remedy

The coffee is not hot
enough.

The coffee grinder
makes a louder noise
than usual.

The coffee flows too
quickly into the cup.

The coffee trickles too
slowly into the cup.

The crema on the
coffee or espresso is
not as it should be.

The cup has not been pre-heated.
The smaller the cup and the thicker its sides, the
more important it is to pre-heat it.

 Pre-heat the cup, for example, with hot water.
The brewing temperature has been set too low.

 Set a higher brewing temperature.
The filters in the brew unit are blocked.

 Remove the brew unit and clean by hand

The brew temperature is too high for the type of
coffee being used.

 Set a lower brewing temperature.
The coffee beans are no longer fresh.

 Add fresh beans to the coffee bean container.

74

Problem Cause and remedy

The coffee tastes weak.
The coffee grounds in
the waste container are
sludgy and grainy.

Coffee is not being
dispensed from both
spouts evenly. Milk may
be sputtering when
being heated up.

The consistency of the
milk froth is
unsatisfactory.

Less coffee is being brewed because insufficient
coffee beans are getting into the grinder.
Have you used a dark roast?
This type of coffee bean is often more oily. These oils
can cling to the inside of the bean containers and
hinder the flow of beans.
Are you using a type of coffee with very large beans
or different sized beans?
The beans are possibly getting wedged or jammed
and forming “bean bridges”.

 Clean the bean containers more often if you are

using darker, more oily coffee beans.

 If you are using a type of coffee with very large

beans or different sized beans, pull the bean
containers out slightly and give them a shake.

 If necessary, try using a different type of coffee.

Coffee deposits in the central spout are obstructing
dispensing.

 Take the central spout apart and wash all the

components – with the exception of the stainless
steel cover – in the dishwasher.
This cleaning operation should be performed once
a week.

The milk temperature is too high. Good milk froth can
only be achieved with cold milk (below 10°C).

 Check the temperature of the milk in the milk flask.
The milk pipework is blocked and/or the milk valve is

soiled.

Electrical connection

Before connecting the coffee machine,
make sure that the connection data on
the data plate (voltage and frequency)
matches that of the electricity supply.
This data must correspond in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the coffee
machine. If in any doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.

The voltage and frequency are given on
the data plate located inside the

the household mains supply. This data
must correspond in order to avoid
damage to the machine. The correct
fuse rating must also be observed.

This machine is supplied with a cable
and moulded plug (13A in the UK) for
connection to the mains electrical
supply.

If possible, the socket should remain
easily accessible. If the socket is no
longer accessible after installation, an
additional means of disconnection must
be provided for all poles. Suitable
means of disconnection include
switches with an all-pole contact gap of
at least 3mm. These include circuit
breakers, fuses and contactors
(EN60335).

The coffee machine must not be used
with “energy saving plugs”. These
reduce the amount of energy supplied
to the machine, causing it to overheat.

Do not connect the coffee machine to
an off-grid inverter. These devices are
