Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packaging
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 cleaning and
descaling cartridges
Dispose of the Miele cleaning and
descaling cartridges in the household
waste after use.
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. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.

9
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,
there must be a full-width, closed shelf between them (except in
combination with a built-in warming drawer).
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Only use the coffee machine in rooms where the ambient
temperature is between +16°C and +38°C.
A minimum installation height of 850mm must be maintained.
This coffee machine must not be installed behind a closed
furniture door. Heat and moisture can build up behind the closed
furniture door. This can result in damage to the appliance and/or
furniture unit.
Before any repair work is carried out, the appliance must be
completely disconnected from the electricity supply.
The appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– it is switched off at the circuit breaker, or
– the mains connection cable is disconnected from the power
supply.
Pull the plug, not the cord, to disconnect the appliance from the
power supply.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when original
Miele spare parts are used. Faulty components must only be
replaced by original Miele 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.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Mains water connection
Do not connect the coffee machine to a warm water connection.
The protective sleeve of the water inlet hose must not be
damaged or become kinked. This will cause it to leak.
The integrated water protection system offers protection from
water damage, provided the following conditions are met:
– The machine is correctly installed (connected to the electricity
supply) and plumbed in.
– The machine is properly maintained and parts are replaced where
it can be seen that this is necessary.
– The tap has been turned off when the appliance is not going to be
used for a longer period of time (e.g. during holidays).
12
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 spouts. Ensure that the
central spout is clean and fitted correctly.
If there is a cup or container underneath the central spout, make
sure that you remove this before opening the appliance door.
Water in the drip tray can also be very hot. Take care when
emptying it.
Risk of injury to the eyes!
Never look directly at the lighting or use optical instruments
(magnifying glass or similar) to look at it.
Please note the following regarding water:
– When using the water container: 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.
When using mains water: Empty the water container once a day.
– Do not use carbonated water.
Only put roasted coffee beans in the bean container. Do not put
coffee beans containing additives or ground coffee in the bean
containers.
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 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.
If decaffeinated coffee beans are used after dispensing a drink
with caffeinated beans, there may still be residues from the
caffeinated beans in the grinder or brew chamber. Discard the first
coffee drink when using decaffeinated coffee.
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.
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 appliance door when it
is open as this could damage the hinges on the coffee machine.
The machine must not be used for cleaning objects.
14
Warning and Safety instructions
Cleaning and care
Clean the coffee machine and the milk flask daily, particularly
before using 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.
Avoid spillage on appliance connectors.
If you do not utilise automatic descaling and cleaning, you will
need to carry out the maintenance programmes for cleaning the milk
pipework, the brew unit and descaling the coffee machine manually
on a regular basis. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting
from not cleaning and/or descaling the machine, using the wrong
cleaning/descaling agent or an unsuitable concentration.
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.
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.

28
Before using for the first time
If you rename the bean containers,
please note the following:
– It is best to select short, memorable
names.
– If you are using the same type of
beans in two or three bean
containers at the same time (for
instance, because you only use one
type of bean), make sure you name
them in the same way exactly.
Name type of beans for bean container?
appears in the display and Type A is
highlighted orange.
Touch Yes.
The editor will open in the display.
Enter the name you want for the bean
container and then touch Save.
Now name the other two bean
containers.
Allocate <Type XY> appears in the
header line.
Any remaining drinks which have not
been selected will be allocated to the
third bean type.
You have set up the bean system and
you can now prepare drinks.
Useful tip: All coffee drinks are
highlighted if you touch All drinks.
Unwanted drinks can be deselected.
If you do not allocate bean containers
to the drinks, you will be asked during
drink preparation which type of bean
you want to use.
To ensure that any coffee residues
from the factory testing process are
removed from the brewing system,
please throw away the first two cups
of coffee when using the coffee
machine for the first time.
Allocating bean types
Bean types are now allocated to coffee
drinks. Selected drinks are highlighted
orange.
Now select the drinks that are to be
prepared with this type of bean.

Confirm withOK.
29
Bean system
Type of beans
Type A Type B
Type C
Coffee or espresso can be made from
whole roasted coffee beans which are
freshly ground for each portion.
Your coffee machine has a bean system
with three bean containers which can
be filled with different types of beans or
even just one type. You can allocate
bean types to individual coffee drinks
as you wish. Alternatively, you can
create profiles with your own coffee
drinks and allocate other bean types to
these drinks which are different to the
Miele profiles.
Risk of damage to the grinder
due to incorrect operation.
The coffee machine will be damaged
if the bean container is filled with
unsuitable substances such as
liquids, ground coffee or coffee
beans treated with sugar, caramel or
similar.
In addition, green (unroasted) coffee
beans or mixtures of coffee beans
which contain green coffee beans
can damage the grinder. Green
coffee beans are very hard and still
contain residual moisture. These can
damage the coffee machine grinder
as soon as grinding begins.
Only put roasted coffee beans in the
bean container.
If decaffeinated coffee beans are
used after dispensing a drink with
caffeinated beans, there may still be
residues from the caffeinated beans
in the grinder or brew chamber.
Please be aware that minimal
residues of caffeinated beans may
be present in the next drink that you
make.

31
Filling the water container
Risk to health due to
contaminated water.
Bacteria can develop in water which
has been sitting in the water
container for too long and is a risk to
your health. The taste of water sitting
in the inlet hose can also be affected
if drinks have not been prepared for
a long time.
Change the water in the water
container every day.
Pour out the water from the water
container if a drink has not been
prepared for a long time.
If the coffee machine is connected to a
plumbed water supply and this setting
is selected, the water container fills
automatically when the machine is
switched on.
The water container can be filled
manually at any time.
Open the appliance door.
Risk of damage due to incorrect
operation.
Unsuitable liquids such as hot or
warm water or other liquids can
damage the coffee machine.
Carbonated water leaves too much
limescale in the coffee machine.
If filling the water container manually:
Only use fresh, cold tap water.
32
Pull the water container out to
remove it.
Fill the water container with cold,
fresh tap water up to the “max.”
mark.
Insert the water container in the
machine and close the appliance
door.
Switching on and off
Switching the coffee machine on
Touch the On/Off sensor.
The coffee machine heats up and rinses
the pipework. Hot water will run out of
the central spout.
You can now make drinks.
If the coffee machine is already at
operating temperature, rinsing will not
take place.
Switching the coffee machine off
Touch the On/Off sensor.
If coffee has been dispensed, the coffee
machine will rinse the coffee pipework
automatically before switching off.
While dispensing a drink or during
maintenance processes, moisture
builds up in the coffee machine. The
internal fan expels moisture from the
interior of the appliance. The fan will
continue to run after dispensing a
drink or for approx. 30minutes after
switching off the appliance. You will
hear an accompanying noise.
Switching off for longer periods of time
If the coffee machine is not going to be
used for a longer period of time, e.g. if
you are going on holiday, please do the
following:
Empty the drip tray, the waste
container and the water container.
Clean all parts thoroughly, including
the brew unit and the interior of the
machine.
Switch the coffee machine off.
33
Spout adjustment
The height of the central spout cannot
be manually adjusted.
Before making the drink, the central
spout moves down and the cup sensor
stops it at the optimum height for the
cups or glasses being used.
When the coffee machine is switched
off, the central spout moves to a
medium height.
When a maintenance programme is
being carried out, the central spout will
move to the height of the cleaning
container or into a lower maintenance
position.
Ensure the central spout is in either
the upper or middle position before
opening the door.
34
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 drinks 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 much less water.
– Espresso is a strong aromatic coffee
with a thick hazelnut brown coloured
froth - known as the crema - on top.
We recommend using espresso
roasted 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
with the appropriate roast to make
the coffee.
– Cappuccino consists of approx. 2/3
milk froth and 1/3 espresso.
– Latte macchiato consists of 1/3
each of hot milk, milk froth and
espresso.
– Caffè latte consists of hot milk and
espresso.
– 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 variation of the
cappuccino: a much greater amount
of espresso compared to milk froth
creates an intensive coffee aroma.
– Café au lait is a French coffee
speciality made from coffee and milk
froth. Café au lait is normally served
in a bowl.
Hot milk or milk froth can also be
made separately.
– Long coffee is a coffee with
considerably more water.
– Long black is made with hot water
and two shots of espresso.
– Caffè Americano consists of equal
proportions of espresso and hot
water. The espresso is made first,
then the hot water is dispensed.
35
Making drinks
Preparing hot milk
Additives containing sugar or milk
alternatives, e.g. soy milk, can clog
the milk pipework and milk carrying
parts. Residues from unsuitable
liquids may adversely affect correct
preparation.
Do not use milk with additives.
Use only pasteurised cow's milk.
Useful 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 full cream
milk (at least3.5% fat), the milk froth
will be slightly creamier than with lowfat milk.
Milk flask
Milk is not cooled in the milk flask.
Use cold milk (<10°C) to produce a
good quality milk froth.
Filling and fitting the milk flask
Fill the milk flask with milk up to a
maximum of 2cm below the rim. Seal
the milk flask with the lid.
Push the milk flask into the coffee
machine until it clicks into place.
Useful tip: The milk flask is easier to
remove with two hands.

Select the required parameters.
The current setting will be displayed.
Change the setting as required.
Amount of coffee
The coffee machine can grind and brew
7.5–12.5g 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.
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 altitude of the region.
Useful 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 tea drinks, warm water
and hot water.
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.
44

MobileStart
With MobileStart you can start
making a drink, for example, via the
Miele@mobile App.
You can only use MobileStart if
Miele@home is set up for your coffee
machine.
Danger of burning and scalding
on the dispensing spouts.
If liquids or steam are dispensed
while the machine is unsupervised,
persons may burn themselves if they
place body parts under the central
spout or touch hot components.
Ensure that no one, especially
children, can be harmed if the
machine is operated without
supervision.
Automatic cleaning and automatic
descaling cannot be carried out if
MobileStart is activated. The
pipework is not pre-warmed when the
machine is switched on either so that
the cup under the central spout is not
filled with rinse water.
Milk is not cooled in the milk flask. If
you want to start making a drink with
milk using the App, make sure that the
milk is sufficiently cold (<10°C).
If the coffee machine is being
operated manually, it cannot be
operated via the App. Operation on
the appliance takes precedence.
To start making drinks remotely,
MobileStart must be activated and
the coffee machine must be ready to
use. This means:
– The bean container contains enough
beans.
– The drip tray and waste container are
empty.
– If milk was used before the machine
was last switched off, the milk
pipework needs to be rinsed before
switching off.
– If milk is being prepared, the milk
flask must be fitted. Pay attention to
the temperature of the milk.
– A sufficiently large, empty glass or
cup is placed under the central
spout.
MobileStart will be deactivated after
24hours.
If you are making a drink with
MobileStart, you will be notified of
drink dispensing with acoustic and

Cleaning and care
Cleaning the milk valve
The seal of the milk valve can be
damaged by sharp-edged objects or
similar.
Do not use sharp-edged objects, e.g.
a knife, to clean the milk valve.
The milk valve is located under the
bean container on the left-hand side.
Milk residues can accumulate on the
stainless steel stem and dry on. These
crusts are difficult to remove. For this
reason, regular cleaning after making
drinks with milk is important.
Open the appliance door.
Clean the milk valve with a damp
sponge or microfibre cloth.
Close the appliance door.
Cleaning the bean containers
Damage due to incorrect use
and cleaning.
If the bean containers are immersed
in water, it may result in
malfunctions. Parts may break off
during dismantling or mechanical
components may not function
correctly after reassembly.
Do not dismantle the bean
containers.
Do not immerse the bean containers
in liquids, e.g. washing-up liquid
solution.
Coffee beans contain oils which can
deposit on the walls of the bean
containers and hinder the flow of the
beans. Therefore, clean the bean
containers regularly with a soft cloth.
If required, you can clean the lids of the
bean containers by hand with warm
water and a little washing-up liquid. Dry
the lids thoroughly before refitting them
on the bean containers.
Open the appliance door.

lids by hand with a slightly damp
cloth. Dry all parts thoroughly before
filling the bean containers with coffee
beans again.
Refit the lids and push the bean
containers back into the coffee
machine.
Cleaning and care

Automatic cleaning and descaling
Risk of damage from spilt cleaning
and descaling solutions.
Sensitive surfaces and/or natural
floors can suffer damage.
You can place the maintenance
container under the central spout
before switching off to collect the
cleaning and descaling solutions.
Wipe up any spillages of cleaning
and descaling agent.
When handling a descaling cartridge
which has already been filled with
water, ensure that the descaling
solution does not come into contact
with sensitive surfaces.
The coffee machine has automatic
maintenance programmes for cleaning
the milk pipework and the brew unit, as
well as for descaling the machine. This
is why the Miele cleaning cartridge and
descaling cartridge are fitted in the
coffee machine. Automatic cleaning is
always carried out before automatic
descaling if both programmes are due
on the same day (total time:
approx.2.5hours).
You can set the time for daily cleaning
and descaling to start using the
Maintenance timer.
The coffee machine will automatically
determine the days when to carry out
automatic descaling based on the
usage pattern.
With automatic cleaning the milk
pipework is cleaned and/or the brew
unit is degreased. The coffee machine
also determines the concentration of
the cleaning solution and type of
cleaning programme for automatic
cleaning based on the number and type
of drinks prepared.
If you do not make any drinks, the
automatic maintenance programmes
will not start.
Water is mixed with cleaning agent to
form a solution for automatic
maintenance programmes and this is
then pumped through the pipework of
the coffee machine. After a specific
activation phase, the solution is rinsed
out of the pipework and the machine
can then be used as normal for making
drinks.
During automatic cleaning and
descaling you will hear rinsing noises,
for example, at frequent intervals even
though the appliance is switched off.
What to ensure before and during automatic maintenance programmes
The coffee machine must be ready to
use and the following conditions must
be met:
– Ready-to-use cleaning and descaling
cartridges are fitted.
– Automatic cleaning is switched on.
– The coffee machine must not be
disconnected from the electricity
supply during automatic maintenance
programmes.
– The drip tray, brew unit and central
spout are fitted.
81
Automatic cleaning and descaling
– When not using mains water
connection: The water container is
inserted and is filled with water at
least up to the marker.
– Carry out the instructions which
appear in the display before
switching off, e.g. Empty and refit the
drip tray and the waste container.
– The appliance door is closed at time
of starting.
– The coffee machine is switched off.
Automatic cleaning
If you have made a drink with milk in
the last 24hours, the milk pipework will
be cleaned. The brew unit is cleaned
after approx. 25 coffee drinks.
Automatic cleaning takes approx.
25minutes if the milk system and
brewing system are both cleaned.
Switching automatic cleaning on and off
Automatic cleaning is usually switched
on when setting up the machine.
However, you can switch the Automatic
cleaning on or off at any time.
The drinks menu is displayed.
Touch the sensor.
Select Settings and then Automatic
cleaning.
Select the setting you want and
confirm with OK.
If automatic cleaning is switched on
and coffee drinks and/or milk have
already been prepared, the coffee
machine will need to be manually
cleaned once. This will remove milk
residues and coffee oils and the
counter will be reset.
The Miele cleaning cartridge
For automatic cleaning, only use the
Miele cleaning cartridge. These have
been developed specifically for use
in this coffee machine.
Please note that the Miele cleaning
cartridge has a storage life of approx.
one year after it has been placed in
the machine for the first time.
Critical for the one-year storage life
is the date on which the cleaning
cartridge was fitted.
Do not fill the cleaning cartridge with
other fluids or substances.
The Miele cleaning cartridge contains a
cleaning agent that effectively removes
milk residues and coffee oils.
The cleaning cartridge is sufficient for
up to 3 months' cleaning, depending on
usage. If you carry out manual cleaning
more frequently, or prepare a lot of
drinks, the time will reduce accordingly.
You can display the fill level of the
cartridge as a segment bar under
Settings | Info| Fill levels. As the fill level
of the cartridge drops, various
messages are displayed at regular
intervals to remind you to purchase a
new cartridge.
82
The first message appears when the
cartridge is approx. 25% full.
Automatic cleaning and descaling
Replacement cleaning cartridges are
available to order from the Miele online
shop or directly from Miele (see back
cover for contact details).
If a cleaning cartridge is not fitted, an
empty cartridge is fitted or an
expired cartridge is fitted, the milk
pipework and the brew unit need to
be cleaned/degreased manually. To
do this, the appropriate cleaning
agent is required (see “Cleaning and
care - Cleaning the milk pipework”
and “Degreasing the brew unit”).
The cleaning cartridge can remain fitted
even if it is not used for a long time or
while being transported.
Replacing the cleaning cartridge
You will need a new Miele cleaning
cartridge. Replacement cleaning
cartridges are available to order from
the Miele online shop or directly from
Miele (see back cover for contact
details).
Open the appliance door and remove
the maintenance container.
Pull the holder with the cartridge
forwards and remove both.
Unscrew the cleaning cartridge from
the holder. Dispose of the used
cartridge with your household waste.
Sometimes cleaning agent residues
dry on the holder in the form of white
deposits. These cleaning agent
residues will not affect the automatic
cleaning programme. If necessary, you
can wipe the deposits off with a damp
cloth or clean the holder in the
dishwasher.
Remove the new cartridge from its
packaging and unscrew the cap. The
cap is no longer required.
83
Automatic cleaning and descaling
Automatic descaling
Automatic descaling takes
approx.2hours, including the activation
phase.
To ensure the longevity of
components and a machine
consistently free of limescale, the

make a lot of coffees with milk, for
example, you will need to descale the
coffee machine more frequently with
the descaling tablets.
The Miele descaling cartridge
Only use the Miele descaling
cartridge for the automatic descaling
programme.
Please note that the Miele descaling
cartridge has a storage life of approx.
one year after it has been placed in
the machine and filled with water for
the first time. Critical for the one-year
storage life is the date on which the
descaling cartridge was fitted and
filled with water.
Do not use a descaling cartridge
which has already been used in
another Miele coffee machine. Your
coffee machine will have no
information about the fill level of this
cartridge. The descaling effect may
be insufficient and damage your
coffee machine.
Do not fill the descaling cartridge
with other fluids or substances.
84
Automatic cleaning and descaling
The descaling agent comes in the form
of tablets in the descaling cartridge.
The cartridge is filled with water when it
is placed in the machine. The tablets
gradually dissolve over time.
The descaling cartridge will last for up
to 12months of automatic descaling,
depending on how often the coffee
machine is used.
You can display the fill level of the
cartridge as a segment bar under
Settings | Info| Fill levels. As the fill level
of the cartridge drops, various
messages are displayed at regular
intervals to remind you to purchase a
new cartridge.
The descaling cartridge is available to
order from the Miele online shop or
directly from Miele (see back cover for
contact details).
If a descaling cartridge is not fitted,
an empty cartridge is fitted or an
expired cartridge is fitted, the
machine needs to be descaled using
the Descale the appliance maintenance
programme. To do this, the
appropriate descaling agent is
required (see “Cleaning and care Descaling the appliance”).
– It should be transported with care
and upright. Avoid shaking it.
Shaking or turning upside down
reduces the storage life and damages
the cartridge.
– The cartridge should be stored
upright, in a dark place and at room
temperature (16–38°C).
Replacing the descaling cartridge
Removing the descaling cartridge
Open the appliance door and remove
the maintenance container.
Pull the cartridge holder forwards.
Remove the cartridge.
The descaling cartridge can remain

a long time. Remove the cartridge
before transporting the coffee machine.
Please note:
– Once filled with water, the descaling
cartridge has a maximum storage life
of three weeks outside of the
machine.
85
Automatic cleaning and descaling
If you do not want to fit a descaling
cartridge, the system must be sealed
with the plug.
Useful tip: You can seal the descaling
cartridge with the cap located on the
cylinder of the cartridge. The cap can
easily be released by snapping it off.
Dispose of the empty cartridge with
your household waste.

Faults with automatic cleaning and/or descaling
Problem Possible cause and remedy
After switching on, a
message appears
informing you that
automatic cleaning and/
or descaling could not
be carried out.
Descale the appliance
appears in the display
even though a
descaling cartridge
which is ready to use is
fitted. Drinks cannot be
made.
All removable parts, such as the water container, drip
tray, brew unit or central spout must be fitted.
The water container must be filled with water at least
up to the descaling symbol.
The appliance door was not closed.
Confirm the message with OK.
Make sure that the coffee machine is ready to use
before the next automatic cleaning and/or
descaling process.
The coffee machine was not switched off at the start
time.
The automatic maintenance programmes are only
started if the coffee machine is switched off.
Confirm the message with OK.
Change the start time if necessary.
Depending on the water hardness level in your area
and your usage patterns, the coffee machine needs to
be descaled using the maintenance programme
occasionally.
For this you will need to use Miele descaling tablets.
Descale the coffee machine using the
maintenance programme (see “Cleaning and care Descaling the appliance”).

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 walls, 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 it by hand.
Degrease the brew unit.
The coffee bean container has become empty during
the grinding process.

Problem Possible 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.
Insufficient coffee beans are getting into the grinder
and less coffee is being brewed.
Have you used a dark roast?
This type of coffee bean is often oily. These oils can
cling to the inside of the coffee 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 coffee bean containers more often if you
are using darker, more oily coffee beans.
Pull the bean containers out a little and shake
them if you are using coffee with very large beans
or different sized beans.
Trying using a different type of coffee.
Coffee deposits in the central spout are obstructing
dispensing.
Dismantle the central spout and clean the parts -
except for the stainless steel cover - in the
dishwasher.
This cleaning process should be carried out 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 valve is blocked and/or dirty.
Follow the instructions in “Cleaning the milk valve”.

Problem solving guide
Problem Possible cause and remedy
Coffee flows very slowly
or even drips from the
central spout.
The brew unit is blocked because the coffee machine
has been used very intensively and/or the brew unit
was not removed regularly and cleaned by hand.
If a cleaning cartridge is fitted, first switch off
Automatic cleaning (Settings| Automatic cleaning).
Carry out the Degrease the brew unit maintenance
programme using one cleaning tablet (see
“Cleaning and care - Degreasing the brew unit and
cleaning the interior”).

When preparing milk, if hot milk is
dispensed instead of milk froth, or the
milk spits or sputters when dispensed,
the milk valve may be blocked. First
check the following:
– Is the milk in the milk flask cold
(<10°C)?
– Have the central spout and the milk
flask lid been cleaned carefully?
Problem solving guide
– Is the central spout correctly fitted?
– Is the milk pipework firmly connected
to the dispensing unit?
If you are still not satisfied with milk
preparation, follow the steps described
below to clean the milk valve.
Clean the milk valve cover by hand
only.
Open the appliance door.
Remove the bean container on the
left and the maintenance container.
Remove the stainless steel cover
from the central spout.
Remove the milk valve cover: on the
top right there is a pin which enables
you to swing open the cover.

dispensing unit on the central
spout and from the holders and
on the milk valve.
Remove the milk pipework that
connects the milk valve to the central
spout.
Disconnect the angular moulded
hose and the curved hose from one
another. Rinse the hoses thoroughly
under running water.
Do not remove the connection pieces
