Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
A damaged coffee machine is dangerous. Check it for any visible damage before setting it up. Never attempt to use a damaged coffee 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).
Unplug the machine from the power supply immediately if you notice any damage or smell scorching, for example.
Ensure that the mains connection cable cannot be pinched or damaged by any sharp edges.
The mains connection cable should not hang down. Someone could trip over it with the risk of injury and damage the machine.
Only use the coffee machine in rooms where the ambient temperature is between +16 °C and +38 °C.

Warning and Safety instructions
Danger of overheating. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation around the coffee machine. Do not cover it with tea towels etc.
whilst it is in use.
If the coffee machine is positioned behind a kitchen furniture door, it may only be used with the furniture door open. This will prevent the formation of heat and humidity and subsequent damage to the machine and/or furniture unit. Do not close the furniture door while the coffee machine is in use. Ensure the coffee machine has cooled down completely before closing the furniture door.
Protect the coffee machine from water and water spray. Do not immerse the machine in water.
Repairs and other work by unqualified persons to the machine and the connection cable could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work. Repairs may only be carried out by a Miele authorised service technician.
While the machine is under guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
Original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the machine when Miele replacement parts are used.
The coffee machine must be disconnected from the electricity supply during repair work.
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.
Disconnect the coffee machine from the power supply if it is not going to be used for a while.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Only use genuine original Miele accessories with this machine.
Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
The 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.
– Do not touch hot components.
– Hot liquid or steam could spatter from the spouts. 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.
Please note the following regarding water:
– Only use cold, fresh tap water to fill the water container. 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 a reverse osmosis unit in this machine.
This would damage it.
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.
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.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
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 add ground coffee or the Miele cleaning tablets for degreasing the brew unit 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 dairy milk make sure that it has been pasteurised.
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 use naked flames, e.g. a candle on or near the coffee machine. The coffee machine could catch fire with the risk of the fire spreading.
The machine must not be used for cleaning objects.

Warning and Safety instructions
Cleaning and care
Disconnect the coffee machine from the power supply before cleaning.
Clean the coffee machine and the milk flask (supplied as standard, depending on model) daily, particularly 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 use a steam cleaner to clean this machine. Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
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.

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 stainless steel surfaces. These damage the surface, causing it to lose its dirt repellent protective coating.
The finish on stainless steel surfaces is susceptible to scratching.
Even magnets can cause scratching.
