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 and ensure that it presents no

danger to children while being stored

for disposal.

It should be unplugged or

disconnected from the mains electricity

supply by a competent person. The

plug must be rendered useless and the

cable cut off directly behind the

appliance or the machine to prevent

misuse.

Correct application

~

This appliance is designed for domestic use and for use in similar

environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed & breakfasts

and other typical living quarters. This does not include

common/shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels,

motels or bed & breakfasts.

~

The coffee machine is not suitable for outdoor use.

~

The machine is intended only for the preparation of coffee based

drinks such as espresso, cappuccino, latte macchiato etc.

Any other usage is at the owner's risk.

~

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including

children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or

lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given

supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person

responsible for their safety, and are able to recognise the dangers of

Warning and Safety instructions

10

Safety with children

,

There is a danger of burning and scalding from the coffee

and hot water dispensing spouts.

Children's skin is far more sensitive to high temperatures than that

of adults.

Ensure children do not touch hot surfaces of the coffee machine

or place parts of their body under the dispensing spouts.

~

Install the coffee machine out of reach of children.

~

Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.

~

Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has

been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely,

recognising the dangers of misuse.

~

Cleaning may only be carried out by older children under the

supervision of an adult.

~

Children should be supervised when they are near the appliance.

This appliance is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury, keep children

well away and do not allow them to play with it or to use the controls.

They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They

should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen.

Remember that coffee and espresso are not suitable drinks for

children.

~

Children may be able to wrap themselves in packing material or

pull it over their heads with the risk of suffocation. Keep children

away from any packing material.

Warning and Safety instructions

11

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.

~

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).

~

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 Miele plate warming drawer).

~

This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile

installations (e.g. on a ship).

Warning and Safety instructions

12

~

Only use the coffee machine in rooms where the ambient

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

~

Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation around the coffee

machine. The ventilation cut-out area in the furniture unit and the

space underneath the ceiling must amount to at least 200 cm

2

.

Otherwise condensate may form and the appliance or the furniture

unit may be damaged.

~

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

it may only be used with the furniture door open. Do not close the

furniture door while the coffee machine is in use.

~

The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is

not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.

~

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele

Original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the

safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

~

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:

–

the mains fuse is disconnected, or

–

the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is

applicable), or

–

it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from

the socket, or it is switched off at the isolator.

~

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.

~

Use only Miele Original spare parts. If spare parts or accessories

from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be invalidated,

and Miele cannot accept liability.

Warning and Safety instructions

13

Correct use

,

The central spout and hot water spout present a danger of

burning or scalding.

The liquids and steam dispensed are very hot.

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

emptying it.

Do not place any part of your body under the spouts when hot

liquid or steam are being dispensed.

Do not touch hot components. Residual heat remains after use.

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

central spout is clean and fitted correctly.

,

Never look directly at the lighting or use optical instruments to

look at it.

~

Please note the following regarding water:

–

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.

–

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 or coffee

beans. Do not fill the bean container with coffee beans which have

been treated or with ground coffee.

Warning and Safety instructions

14

~

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.

~

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

milk pipework and damage the machine.

~

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.

~

Never swing from or hang anything on the appliance front when it

is open as this could damage the machine.

~

The machine must not be used for cleaning objects.

~

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

15

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").

~

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

and care").

~

Do not use a steam cleaner or immerse in water to clean this

machine. Steam could reach the electrical components and cause a

short circuit.

~

Do not immerse the appliance in water for cleaning.

~

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

16

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.

Water hardness

The water hardness level indicates how

much calcium is dissolved in the water.

The higher the calcium content, the

harder the water, and the harder the

water, the more often the coffee

machine will need to be descaled.

The coffee machine measures the

amount of water and steam used.

Depending on the level of water

hardness set, more or fewer drinks can

be dispensed before the appliance

needs to be descaled.

Programme the coffee machine to the

water hardness level of your area so

that it functions correctly and does not

get damaged. At the correct time a

prompt will then appear in the display

to descale the appliance.

The machine has four programmable

levels:

Water hardness Water
