7
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Technical safety
Installation work or repairs should only be carried out by a Miele
authorized technician. Unauthorized or incorrect installation work or
repairs can pose 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
frequency indicated on the data plate against the voltage and
frequency 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
appliance, 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
guaranteed if it is connected to the electrical supply.
Do not connect the machine to the electrical supply using an
extension cord or power bar.
The coffee machine 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.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated
oven.
Unplug the coffee machine from the power supply immediately if
you notice any damage or smell burning.
8
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure that the power cord will not be pinched or damaged by
any sharp edges.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not drape cord over the counter
top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or
after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any
manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility
for examination, repair or adjustment.
To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons do not
immerse cord or plugs in water or other liquid.
To reduce the risk of fire:
- Do not place any heating or cooking appliance beneath the
appliance without a shelf in between.
- Do not mount unit over or near any portion of a heating or
cooking appliance without a shelf in between.
- Do not mount over a sink.
- Do not store anything directly on top of the appliance surface
when the appliance is in operation.
If the coffee system 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 Miele built-in warming drawer).
Only use the coffee system in rooms where the ambient
temperature is between +50°F (16°C) and +100°F (38°C).
A minimum installation height of 33 7/16"(850mm) from floor must
be observed.
This coffee machine must not be installed behind a closed cabinet
door. Heat and moisture can build up behind the cabinet door when
closed. This can result in damage to the machine and/or cabinetry.
9
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
The manufacturer's warranty may be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician from Technical
Service.
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.
Correct use
Danger of burning and scalding at the dispensers.
The liquids and steam dispensed are very hot.
Keep away from the area underneath the dispensers 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
main dispenser is clean and installed 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.
10
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Risk of injury to the eyes!
Never look at the lighting directly or using optical instruments (e.g.
magnifying glass).
Please note the following regarding water:
- The water quality must conform to the requirements for drinking
water in the country in which the coffee machine is being used.
- 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.
- Do not use sparkling water.

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.
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 oily beans or beans that have been treated with
caramel, sugar, or other substances. Sugar and oil will damage the
coffee system.
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.
When making tea, please follow the instructions on the tea
packaging.
Do not place flaming alcohol mixtures underneath the main
dispenser. The flames could ignite plastic components and cause
them to melt.
11
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not swing from or hang anything on the machine front when it
is open as this could damage the hinges of the machine.
Do not use the coffee system to clean objects.
12
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Preparing your appliance for an extended vacation
If you elect to turn off the water to your home for an extended
period 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.
Accessories and parts
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when
genuine Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components
should only be replaced by genuine Miele replacement parts.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the
appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock or injury to
persons.
Only use genuine Miele accessories. If other parts are used,
warranty, performance, and/or product liability claims may be
invalidated.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a
minimum of 10years and up to 15years following the
discontinuation of your coffee machine.
Cleaning and maintenance
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to
cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the
appliance.
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.
13
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Descale the coffee system 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 that 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.
Rinsing coffee grounds down the drain can cause the sink to clog.
Instead, dispose of your coffee grounds appropriately as
biodegradable waste (where facilities exist) or by composting.
14
IMPORTANT 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 dirt-
repellent protective coating.
The finish on stainless steel surfaces is susceptible to scratching.
Even magnets can cause scratching.

Filling the coffee bean container
26
Coffee or espresso can be made from
whole roasted coffee beans which are
freshly ground for each cup. This
requires the bean containers to be filled
with coffee beans.
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

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 containers.
The coffee machine has 2bean
container drawers on the top left and
right. Coffee beans from all 3bean
containers are mixed together during
grinding.
Open the appliance door.
Pull out the bean containers.

on
Tap theOn/Offbutton.
The coffee machine heats up and rinses
the pipework. Hot water will run out of
the main dispenser.
You can now make drinks.
If the coffee machine is already at
operating temperature, rinsing will not
take place when the appliance is
switched on.
While dispensing a drink or during
maintenance processes, moisture
builds up in the coffee machine. Once
a drink has been dispensed or the
appliance has been switched off, the
internal fan will continue to run until
the interior is sufficiently dehumidified.
You will hear an accompanying noise.
Switching the coffee machine
off
Tap theOn/Offbutton.
If coffee has been dispensed, the coffee
machine will rinse the pipework
automatically before switching off.
Turning off for longer periods
of time

machine.
Switch the coffee machine off.
Dispenser adjustment
29
The main dispenser cannot be
manually adjusted.
Before making the drink, the main
dispenser 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 main dispenser will be in the
middle position.
When a maintenance program is being
carried out, the main dispenser will
move to the height of the maintenance
container or into a low maintenance
position.
Make sure that the main position is in
the top or middle position before you
open the door.
Preparing beverages
30
Danger of burning and scalding
at the dispensers.
The liquids and steam dispensed are
very hot and can cause scalding.
Keep away from the area underneath
the dispensers 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 concentrated, stronger
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 colored
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
of the correct roast to make the
coffee.
- Lungo is a coffee with significantly
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.
- Capuccinoconsists of approx.
2thirds milk froth and 1third
espresso.
- Latte macchiato consists of 1third
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
capuccino that contains significantly
more espresso than milk froth for an
intensive coffee aroma.
- Café au lait is a French style of

Hot milk and milk froth can also be
made.
Preparing beverages
31
Milk preparation
Milk or milk alternatives (e.g., soy
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 pasteurized cow's milk.
Tip: Using cold cow's milk
(<50°F/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 your personal preference.
With whole milk (at least3.5% fat), the
milk froth will be slightly creamier than
with low-fat milk.
The milk flask
Milk is not cooled in the milk flask.
For high-quality milk froth, always
use cold milk (<50°F/10°C).

Parameters
40
Tip: For the drinks pictured on the
control panel, you can change the
portion size by pressing and holding the
button down while the drink is being
dispensed. To do this, keep the drinks
button pressed until the machine starts
dispensing. During dispensing, Save
appears in the display.
Amount of coffee
The coffee machine can grind and brew
7,5–12,5g of coffee beans per cup. The
greater the amount, the stronger the
coffee.
The amount of coffee is too low if 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 the
espresso or coffee tastes bitter.
Decrease the amount of coffee so that
less ground coffee is brewed.
Brewing temperature
The brewing temperature must be
adapted to the roast of the beans you
are using. This is crucial whether you
are making espresso or coffee.
Several types are sensitive to high
brewing temperatures, resulting in an
impaired taste. If your coffee tastes
bitter, the brewing temperature you
have selected might be too high.
Espresso is usually brewed at higher
temperatures.
You can also adjust the brewing
temperature for making tea and
dispensing warm and hot water.
Pre-brewing ground coffee
When the pre-brewing function is
turned on, the ground coffee is first
moistened with a little hot water. The
ground coffee swells a little. Then the
remaining water is forced through the
moistened coffee at high pressure. If
your coffee tastes too bland and you
want too add some spice and richness,
try the “Pre-brewing” function.
Depending on the type of coffee used,
pre-brewing can intensify the taste.
You can set a short or long duration for
pre-brewing or turn the “Pre-brewing”
function off completely.
Tip: It is particularly recommended to
use the “Pre-brewing” function to make
coffee.

coffee machine will need to be
descaled less often and there will be
less impact on the environment
because less descaling agent will be
used.

Unusual performance of the coffee system
Problem Possible cause and solution
The display remains
dark when the coffee
machine is turned on
using theOn/Offbut-
ton.
The On/Off button was not held for long enough.
Tap and hold theOn/Offbutton for at least
3seconds.
The plug is not properly plugged into the electrical
socket.
Insert the plug into the electrical socket.
The fuse has tripped because the coffee machine,
voltage, or another appliance is defective.
Remove the plug from the socket.
Contact a qualified electrician or Technical
Service.
The lighting remains off
after the coffee ma-
chine has been
switched on.
The lighting has been switched off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Problem Possible cause and solution
A fan can be heard even
though no drinks are
being prepared and the
coffee machine is
switched off.
This is not a fault.
Once a drink has been dispensed or the machine
has been switched off, the internal fan will continue
to run until the interior is sufficiently dehumidified.
The brew unit cannot be
removed.
The brew unit is not positioned correctly.
If necessary, turn the handle on the brew unit back
to the start position. Close the machine door.
Switch the coffee machine off.
Wait approx.1minute before switching the coffee
machine back on.
This will initialize the brew unit motor and put it back
into the start position.
If necessary, repeat these steps.
Drink dispensing is pre-
maturely aborted even
though there is a con-
tainer under the main
dispenser.
This is not a fault.
If the container has a very wide opening that
prevents the cup-rim sensor from making contact
with the edge of the container (e.g., in the case of a
very large cup), the drink will be canceled. Use a
different container or position the existing one so
that the sensor can detect the rim.

Frequently Asked Questions
Problem Possible cause and solution
Coffee dispensing is re-
peatedly interrupted
and the message Fill the
bean container appears in
the display.
This is not a fault.
The brew unit has not detected the ground coffee.
Certain types of coffee produce a small amount of
coffee when they are ground. Usually the grinder is
set too fine and the amount is set to minimum.
Confirm the message withOK.
If the display appears with all types of coffee:
Set the grinder to a coarser setting (see “Grinder
setting”).
Select a larger amount of coffee.
Don't forget to check any drinks changed in “User
profiles”.
If the message only appears when dispensing certain
drinks:
Check the amount of coffee set for this drink (see
“Amount of coffee”). Select a larger amount of
coffee.
You may also need to set a coarser grinder setting.
The coffee machine
does not switch itself
on even though the Turn
on at setting has been
activated for the timer.
The system lock is activated.
Deactivate the system lock.
The current day of the week has not been selected.
Check the timer settings and change these if
necessary.
The coffee machine was not used after being
switched on automatically three times in succession
(vacation mode).
Switch the machine on and dispense a drink.
Steam is dispensed in-
stead of water while
preparing hot water or
making tea.
It is likely that the wrong altitude has been set.
Change the altitude settings (Settings Altitude).
If necessary, you can also change the temperature
settings for the drinks (Parameters).
The display is hard to
see or not legible.
The display brightness has been set too low.
Change this setting (see “Settings”).

Frequently Asked Questions
Unsatisfactory results
Problem Possible cause and solution
The coffee is not hot
enough.
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 with hot water, for example.
The brewing temperature is 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 grinder
makes a louder noise
than usual.
The coffee bean container has become empty during
the grinding process.
Fill the coffee bean container with fresh beans.
There may be foreign objects such as plastic or
stones in amongst the coffee beans.
Switch the coffee machine off immediately.
Contact the Technical Service department.
The coffee is dispensed
too slowly into the cup.
The brew unit is blocked.
Degrease the brew unit (see “Cleaning and care –
Degreasing the brew unit and cleaning the
interior”).
The crema on the cof-
fee or espresso is not
as it should be.
The coffee beans are no longer fresh. If roasted
coffee beans are stored open for too long, the
carbon dioxide gradually escapes from the coffee
beans. The crema is no longer formed during
dispensing.
Of course, you can still use the coffee beans.
77
Frequently Asked Questions
Problem Possible cause and solution
The coffee tastes weak.
The coffee grounds in
the grounds container
are sludgy and grainy.
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 oily. These oils can
cling to the walls 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.
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 is not being dis-
pensed from both dis-
pensers evenly. Milk
may be sputtering when
being heated up.
Coffee deposits in the main dispenser prevent the
dispensing of the drinks.
Take the main dispenser 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 consistency of the
milk froth is unsatisfac-
tory.
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 of the milk in the milk flask.
The milk pipework is blocked and/or the milk valve is
soiled.
Remove and clean the milk valve.

Disposal of the packing
material
The cardboard box and packing
materials protect the appliance during
shipping. 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.
Danger of suffocation!
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain valuable materials. They also
contain certain substances, compounds
and components which were essential
for the proper functioning and safe use
of the equipment. Handling these
materials improperly by disposing of
them in your household waste can be
harmful to your health and the
environment. Therefore, please do not
dispose of your old appliance with
regular household waste and follow
local regulations on proper disposal.
Consult with local authorities, dealers or
Miele in order to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances.
Miele assumes no responsibility for
deleting any personal data left on the
appliance being disposed. Please
ensure that your old appliance is kept
away from children until removal.
Observe safety requirements for
appliances that may tip over or pose an
entrapment hazard.

Electrical connection
Before connecting the coffee machine,
make sure that the connection data on
the data tag (voltage and frequency)
matches the domestic electrical supply.
This data must match to prevent the
coffee machine from being damaged. If
in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
The necessary connection information
is given on the data tag inside your
appliance.
The fuse rating must be at least 10A.
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.
Always attach plug to appliance first,
then plug cord into the wall outlet. To
disconnect, turn any control to “off,”
then remove plug from wall outlet.
Temporary or permanent operation on
an autonomous power supply system or
a power supply system that is not
synchronized with the grid power
supply (e.g., island networks, back-up
systems) is possible. A prerequisite for
operation is that the power supply
system complies with the specifications
of EN50160 or an equivalent standard.
The function and operation of the
protective measures provided in the
domestic electrical installation and in
this Miele product must also be
maintained in isolated operation or in
operation that is not synchronized with
the grid power supply, or these
measures must be replaced by
equivalent measures in the installation.
As described, for example, in the
current version of VDE-AR-E 2510-2.
The coffee machine must not be used
with energy saving plugs. These
reduce the energy supply to the
machine, which could generate
excessive heat.
Installation

Installation dimensions
Installation in a tall cabinet
A minimum installation height of 33 7/16" (850mm) must be observed.
Combination with other Miele Built-in Appliances is possible. If the coffee machine
is to be built in above another appliance, there must be a full-width, closed shelf
between them. If the machine is to be combined with a suitable built-in dishware/
food-warming drawer, no shelf is required in between.

Building in the coffee machine
Danger of injury due to incorrect
operation.
A machine that has not been built in
is not safe and can cause injuries.
Do not operate the coffee machine
unless it has been built in.
Danger of damage due to
incorrect operation.
If the ambient temperature range is
not observed, the coffee machine
may not function properly.
The coffee machine may only be
operated within an ambient
temperature range of +60°F to
+100°F (+16°C to +38°C).
A minimum installation height of
33 7/16"(850mm) must be observed.
A door opening angle of 120° must
be ensured so that you can remove
the left-hand bean container.
Check that there is a gap of at least
113/4" (299mm) between the wall (or
similar) and the coffee machine so that
you can open the door wide enough to
remove the left-hand bean container
(minimum door opening angle of120°).
To install the machine, you will need a
TX20 screwdriver.
Removing transport restraint
1 screw hole is fitted with a red silicone
plug to protect the appliance against
transport damage and secure the door
during transport.
Remove the plug before screwing
the coffee machine to the cabinet
unit.
Pull firmly on the red silicone plug to
remove them from the screw holes.
The plug is not required for any other
purpose. Dispose of its with your
household waste.
Tip: We recommend providing a place
to sit the coffee machine which is the
same height as the building-in niche.
This will make it easier to connect the
appliance to the electricity supply.

Connecting the electricity supply
Observe the information under
“Electrical connection”.
Connect the coffee machine to the
electricity supply.
Pushing in and aligning the coffee
machine
Take care not to trap or damage the
electrical connection when pushing
the machine into the niche.
Push the coffee machine all the way
into the niche until you feel a
resistance.
Check the height of the coffee
machine to make sure that it is sitting
centrally in the niche and that it is
level. Align the appliance if
necessary.
Never align the coffee machine by
adjusting the door hinges. This will
prevent the milk flask from attaching
correctly and interfere with the milk-
preparation process.
Now screw the coffee machine to the
cabinet.
Open the appliance door.
TwoTX20 (25mm) screwsare
included with the machine.
Secure the coffee machine to the side
walls of the cabinet using the screws
supplied. Tighten both screws by
hand.
Tip: To make it easier to attach the
screw on the left, you can remove the
door opening limiters and increase the
door opening angle to approx.170°
(see “Door opening limiters”). Make
sure that there is sufficient space
available and that the machine door is
not going to hit an adjacent wall.
Carry out a functional check on the
coffee machine.
Door opening limiters
The coffee machine door hinges are
equipped with door opening limiters
that restrict the opening angle of the
machine door to approx.120°. This will
prevent the machine door from hitting
an adjacent wall and being damaged
when opened.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
87
The door opening limiters can be
removed, allowing you to increase the
opening angle to approx.170°. This
makes it easier to remove the bean
containers, for example.
Removing the door opening limiters
Make sure that sufficient space is
available for the larger door opening
angle and that the machine door is
not going to hit an adjacent wall.
Remove the door opening limiters
from the hinges, e.g., by prizing them
out with a screwdriver.
The machine door opening angle has
now been increased to approx.170°.
