Technical safety
Installation and repairs may only be carried out by a Miele-autho-
rized service technician. Installation, repairs and other work by un-
qualified 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 fre-
quency 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 appli-
ance, 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).
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
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" (200cm
2
).
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 hous-
ing 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 consider-
able 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.
Pull the plug, not the cord, to disconnect the appliance from the
power supply.
Repairs must only be performed by a trained technician in accor-
dance with national and local safety regulations. Repairs and other
work by unauthorized persons could be dangerous and may void the
warranty.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts
only. Only with original Miele parts can the manufacturer guarantee
the safety of the appliance.
Never open the outer casing of the machine. Tampering with elec-
trical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly
dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults or electric
shock.
Use only genuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from
other manufacturers are used, the warranty may become void.
The use of accessory attachements not recommended by Miele may
result in fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
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.
Never look directly at the lighting or use optical instruments to
look at it.
Please note the following regarding water:
– 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.
– 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
12
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.
Do not swing from or hang anything on the machine front when it
is open as this could damage the hinges of the machine.
The main dispenser connector cap is lubricated with silicone
grease. Take care not to get this on your clothes when removing or
replacing the containers or other components.
Do not use the coffee system to clean objects.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
13
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 concentra-
tion.
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 biodegrad-
able waste (where facilities exist) or by composting.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
14
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 dam-
age 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.
Preparing your appliance for an extended vacation
If you elect to turn off the water to your home for an extended pe-
riod of time, please note that this may not be enough to reduce the
risk of a leak. To be completely safe, you must turn off the water
supply to each individual appliance. This means under the sink for a
dishwasher, at the laundry bib for your washer, etc.

set up for use.
Fill the water reservoir with cold, fresh
tap water.
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 system
will need to be descaled.
The coffee system measures the
amount of water used and steam made.
Depending on the level of water hard-
ness set, more or fewer drinks can be
dispensed before the appliance needs
to be descaled.
Program the coffee system 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.
You can program four hardness levels
on the appliance:

The setting is now saved.
Filling the water tank
26
Change the water every day to
prevent a build-up of bacteria.
Only use cold, fresh tap water to fill
the water tank.
Hot or warm water or other liquids
can damage the coffee system.
Do not use mineral water. Mineral
water will cause serious limescale
deposits to build up in your machine
and damage it.
Open the appliance door.
Pull the water tank forwards to re-
move it.
Take off the lid and fill the water tank
with fresh, cold tap water up to the
"max." mark.
Push the water tank back in the ma-
chine until it clicks into place.
If the water tank protrudes slightly or
is a little high, check whether the sur-
face that the water tank sits on is dirty.
If the water tank is not positioned cor-
rectly, the outlet valve will not connect
properly and could leak. Clean the
surface, if necessary.
Filling the coffee bean container
27
Fill the coffee bean container with
roasted coffee or espresso beans if you
want to use freshly ground coffee beans
for each cup of espresso or coffee.
Alternatively, you can make coffee or
espresso with ground coffee (see "Mak-
ing coffee drinks from ground coffee").
Important! Risk of damage to the
grinder.
Only put roasted coffee or espresso
beans in the container. Anything
else, including ground coffee, will
damage the grinder.
Do not pour liquids in the bean con-
tainer.
Important! Sugar damages the coffee
system.
Do not use coffee beans that have
been treated with sugar, caramel, or
other substances containing sugar in
the coffee bean container.
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 dam-
age the coffee system grinder as
soon as grinding begins.
Tip: You can use a nut or seed grinder
to grind green coffee beans. These
types of grinder generally have a rotat-
ing stainless steel blade. You can then
add the ground green coffee portion by
portion to the ground coffee chute and
make the desired coffee drink (see
"Making coffee drinks from ground cof-
fee").
Pull out the coffee bean container.
Push back the lid and fill the con-
tainer with roasted coffee beans.
Slide the lid back into place.
Push the coffee bean container fully
back into the coffee system. Close
the front.
Turning the machine On and Off
28
Turning on
When the coffee system is switched on,
it heats up and rinses the pipework.
This not only cleans the pipework, but
also warms it before coffee is prepared.
If the coffee system still has an operat-
ing temperature higher than 140°F
(60°C), rinsing will not take place.
Tap the On / Off button .
The appliance will begin rinsing after
the heating-up phase. Hot water will
come out of the main dispenser.
You can now prepare drinks.
Tip: If you do not want the water from
the rinsing process to flow into the drip
tray, place a suitable container (e.g., the
small cleaning container) underneath
the main dispenser before preparing the
first coffee of the day.
Turning off
Tap the On / Off button .
After a coffee has been dispensed, the
machine pipework is rinsed before the
machine switches off.
Turning off for longer periods
of time
If the coffee system is not going to be
used for a longer period of time:
Empty the drip tray, the waste unit
and the water tank.
Clean all components thoroughly, in-
cluding the brew unit, the main dis-
penser connector and the small drip
tray located inside the door.
Turn off the appliance.
If you leave the door open for an ex-
tended period of time, unplug or dis-
connect it from the power supply to
save energy.
Dispenser adjustment
29
The height of the main dispenser can-
not be manually adjusted.
The coffee system automatically de-
tects the height of the cup or glass un-
derneath the main dispenser. When a
drink is requested, the main dispenser
moves into the correct position before
the drink is prepared.
Make sure that you do not leave a
spoon or other utensil in the cup
as the height of the cup will be incor-
rectly determined.
Height adjustment can be turned off. If
it is switched off, the main dispenser
will remain in the highest position as
long as the coffee system is turned on.
When maintenance programs are being
carried out, the main dispenser moves
to a maintenance position or changes
position according to the height of the
vessel being used.
When the coffee system is turned off,
the main dispenser is located at a
medium height.

very hot.
Keep away from the area underneath
the dispensers when hot liquids and
steam are being dispensed.
Do not touch hot components.
You can choose from a variety of spe-
cialty coffees:
– Espresso is a strong, aromatic
coffee with a thick hazelnut-brown
cream layer – the crema – on top.
Use espresso-roasted coffee beans
for preparing espresso.

Coffee the way you like it
37
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 nut-
brown 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.
– 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.
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 set-
ting to the right (for coarser grinding).
Close the machine door.
Prepare a coffee drink.
After that, you can adjust the grinder
setting again.

drink
You can change the amount of coffee,
pre-brewing and the brewing tempera-
ture for each drink.
TheDrinks 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 fol-
lowing:
– 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
tapOK.
The setting is now saved.
Tip: If the coffee is too strong for you or
it tastes bitter, try a different type of
bean.
Coffee the way you like it
39
Brewing temperature
The ideal brewing temperature will de-
pend 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 pres-
sure. 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 with-
stand 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.
Swipe across the display in the Brew
temperature field until the required set-
ting appears.
Tap OK.
The setting is now saved.
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 "Pre-
brewing" function turned off.
Swipe across the display in the Pre-
Brewing field until the required setting
appears.
Tap OK.
The setting is now saved.
Portion size
40
The flavor of the coffee produced de-
pends 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. Ad-
ditionally, you can set the portion sizes
for hot milk and milk froth alone.
Each type of drink has a maximum por-
tion size that can be programmed into
the machine. The coffee system halts
preparation of the coffee once this por-
tion size has been reached. The maxi-
mum 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.
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.

only:
– Main dispenser cover
– Brew unit
– Coffee bean container and the coffee
bean container lid
– Service cover
Some components of the coffee sys-
tem are dishwasher-safe. However,
cleaning these in the dishwasher fre-
quently 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 dam-
aged.
The following parts are dishwasher-
safe:
– Drip tray with grid
– Drip tray cover
– Water container
– Waste unit
– Central spout (without stainless steel
cover)
– Sensor cover
– Milk flask with lid
– Drip catcher
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 reg-
ularly to prevent a build-up of bacteria
and clogging of the milk pipework.
The cap of the main dispenser con-
nector is lubricated with silicone
grease.
Take care not to get it on your
clothes when removing or replacing
the containers or other components.
Cleaning and care
58
All external surfaces are susceptible
to scratching. Scratches on glass
surfaces could even cause a break-
age. Contact with unsuitable clean-
ing agents can discolor the external
surfaces. Wipe up any spillages or
splashes of descaling agent immedi-
ately.
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
– Scouring pads, such as pot scrub-
bers and brushes, or used sponges
that still contain abrasive cleanser
residue

tem through use. How often the appli-
ance needs to be descaled will depend
on the water hardness level in your
area. It should be descaled regularly to
ensure that it functions correctly.
The appliance will guide you through
the descaling process. Various mes-
sages will appear in the display, e.g.
you will be prompted to empty the drip
tray or fill the water reservoir.

Problems when preparing milk
Problem Possible cause and solution
The milk sprays during
dispensing and hissing
noises can be heard.
Even though milk froth
should be prepared,
only hot milk emerges
from the main dis-
penser.
The milk temperature is too high. Good milk froth can
only be achieved when cold milk (below 50°F/10°C) is
used.
Check the temperature in the milk flask.
The milk flask has not be inserted properly so that not
only milk, but also air is suctioned in.
Push in the milk flask to the limit stop.
The main dispenser is not correctly mounted.
Check whether the main dispenser is correctly as-
sembled.
The milk pipework in the milk flask lid is dirty.
Taking apart the milk flask lid and cleaning it with
the cleaning brush (See "Cleaning and care – Milk
flask").
Clean the main dispenser and the milk valve with
the cleaning brush (see "Main dispenser" and
"Maintaining the milk valve").
The elbow connector is blocked and must be ex-
changed.
Exchange the elbow connector (see "Exchanging
the elbow connector").
Fill and insert milk container
appears in the display
even though the milk
flask has been filled and
inserted in the machine.
The milk flask lid could be dirty. Therefore, the sens-
ing mechanism does not function correctly.
Clean the cover and the milk flask thoroughly. Dis-
assemble the cover and clean it with the included
cleaning brush (see "Cleaning and care – Milk flask
with cover").
Frequently Asked Questions
88
Exchanging the elbow connec-
tor
If you can prepare only hot milk instead
of milk froth, check the following first:
– Is the milk in the milk flask cold
(<50°F / 10°C)?
– Have the main dispenser and milk
flask lid been cleaned carefully?
– Is the main dispenser correctly
mounted?
If you still cannot prepare milk froth, fol-
low the steps described to exchange
the elbow connector.
You need the elbow connector that was
provided as a spare part.
Do not use a needle or similar imple-
ment. This would damage the com-
ponents.
Open the service cover on the back
of the appliance door.
First release air intake tube from
the opening Then pull off the el-
bow connector .
Pull both tubes out of the elbow con-
nector.
Use the cleaning brush supplied to
clean air intake tube under running
water. "Blowing through" can help to
dislodge blockages.
Insert the brush in milk tube . Move
the brush back and forth as far as
possible until all milk deposits have
been removed.
Now take the new elbow connector
(you can throw away the old elbow
connector in the household trash).

Packaging material / Disposal of old machine
92
Disposal of packaging material
The cardboard box and packing materi-
als protect the appliance during ship-
ping. They have been designed to be
biodegradable and recyclable.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of children. Return
the packaging to your dealer.
Disposal of your old appliance
Old electrical and electronic appliances
often still contain valuable materials.
However, they also contain harmful
substances that were essential for the
proper functioning and safe use of the
equipment. Handling these materials
improperly or disposing of them in your
household waste can be harmful to your
health and the environment. Therefore,
please do not dispose of your old appli-
ance with regular household waste.
Old appliances may contain materials
that can be recycled. Please contact
your local recycling authority about the
possibility of recycling these materials.
Ensure the appliance presents no dan-
ger to children while being stored for
disposal.
Electrical connection
93
Make sure that the power to the ma-
chine is OFF before installing or per-
forming maintenance or repairs. All
electrical work should be performed by
a qualified electrician in strict accor-
dance 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 pre-
vent 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 6ft (1.8m) power cord with a
NEMA 5-15P molded plug for connec-
tion to a 120V, 15A, 60Hz power sup-
ply.
Do not connect the appliance to a
power inverter or directly to power pro-
duced 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 appli-
ance.
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.
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
Installation
94
Installation and combination options
The appliance is designed to be built into a tall unit.
Installation
95
It can also be combined with other Miele built-in appliances. If the coffee system is
to be built in above another appliance, there must be a full-width, closed shelf be-
tween them.
Installation
96
Ventilation
Condensation water can damage the
coffee system or surrounding cabi-
nets.
The specified ventilation cross-sec-
tions 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 suffi-
cient ventilation at the rear of the appli-
ance so that steam and warm air are
able to escape without hindrance.
The surrounding cabinets should be de-
signed as follows:
– 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.
– A ventilation gap of at least 1
5/8" (40mm) depth must be provided
behind the appliance for air to circu-
late.
– The ventilation cross-sections in the
plinth, surrounding cabinets and
above the appliance must amount to
at least 783/4 square inches
(200cm
2
) to ensure that air can circu-
late without obstruction.
Top ventilation cross-section
The ventilation cross section at the top
of the appliance can be constructed in
different ways:
a
directly above the coffee system
with a ventilation grille (free airflow of
at least 78 3/4 square inches /
200cm
2
)
b
between the surrounding cabinets
and the ceiling
c
through a suspended ceiling
Installation
97
Installing the coffee system
Make sure that there is no power to
the machine during installation. This
also applies when uninstalling.
The machine may only be operated
when installed and in an ambient
temperature range between +50°F
(10°C) to +100°F (38°C).
For installation, you will require two
socket wrenches in sizes 3 and 5.
To ensure the appliance door is flush
with the cabinetry front, a seal around
the building-in niche is needed or a
sealing strip must be adhered to the
coffee system.
If there is not a seal at the front of the
building-in niche, adhere the Miele
sealing strips from the back (see pic-
ture) before installing the coffee sys-
tem.The sealing strips can be pur-
chased from Miele.
Sealing strips are available from your
Miele dealer or from Miele.
Tip: We recommend providing a place
to sit the coffee system which is the
same height as the building-in niche.
This will make it easier to connect the
machine to the electrical supply.
Using the large allen key, unscrew all
four feet out by about 3/4" (2 mm).
.The feet can be unscrewed by up to
approx. 4" (10 mm).
Connect the appliance to the electri-
cal supply.
Ensure the power cord does not get
damaged when pushing the appli-
ance into the niche.
Push the coffee system all the way
into the building-in niche.
Make sure the coffee system is cen-
tered and straight in the building-in
niche. If this is not the case, align the
machine using the four bases.
Installation
98
The appliance comes with four M5
socket screws to help you align and se-
cure it in the building-in niche.
Open the appliance door, and par-
tially tighten the side socket screws.
Carefully turn the lower socket
screws to center the machine in the
niche.
Tighten both upper socket screws by
hand to secure the machine in the
unit. Do not over-tighten them.
Adjusting the door hinges
If the machine door becomes difficult to
open or close after installation, you can
adjust the hinges to realign it (TX 20):
Tighten the screw to align it flush
with the cabinet front.
Tighten the screw to align the door
horizontally and vertically.
