Disposing of the packaging
material
The packaging material is used for
handling and protects the appliance
from transport damage. The packaging
material used is selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can generally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging material
reduces the use of raw materials. Use
material-specific collection points for
valuable materials and take advantage
of return options.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials,
compounds and components which
were essential for their correct
functioning and safety. These could be
hazardous to human health and to the
environment if disposed of with
household waste or if handled
incorrectly. Please do not, therefore,
dispose of your old appliance with
household waste.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances in
your local community, with your dealer
or with Miele, free of charge. By law,
you are solely responsible for deleting
any personal data from the old
appliance prior to disposal. You are
legally obliged to remove any old
batteries which are not securely
enclosed by the appliance and to
remove any lamps without destroying
them, where this is possible. These
must be taken to a suitable collection
point where they can be handed in free
of charge. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored for disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
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.
Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power
supply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised
with the mains 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
synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must
be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described,
for example, in the current version of BS OHSAS 18001–2 ISO
45001.
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).
Warning and Safety instructions
12
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.
Do not place the coffee machine near a window in direct sunshine
or right next to an appliance that gives off heat. These would subject
the machine to ambient temperatures outside its permitted operating
range.
Position the coffee machine at a height of at least 850mm from
the floor.
Danger of overheating. Please ensure that there is adequate
ventilation around the coffee machine. Do not cover the coffee
machine with tea towels etc. while it is in use.
The coffee machine must not be installed in a niche. Heat and
moisture can accumulate in a niche. This can result in damage to the
appliance and/or furniture unit.
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 warranty, repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
warranty is invalidated.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
14
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.
Water in the drip tray can also be very hot. Take care when
emptying it.
Danger of injury to the eyes.
Never look directly at the lighting or use optical instruments to look
at it.
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 carbonated water.
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 residual moisture. These can damage the
coffee machine grinder as soon as grinding begins.
Warning and Safety instructions
15
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 fill the coffee chute with ground coffee beans.
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.
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 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
16
Accessories and spare parts
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the machine when original
Miele spare parts are used. Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts.
Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used,
warranty, performance and/or product liability claims will 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
17
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.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this machine. Steam could
reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
If you do not utilise automatic descaling, you will need to descale
the coffee machine manually on a regular basis. Miele cannot be
held liable for damage resulting from not descaling the machine,
using the wrong descaling agent or an unsuitable descaling solution
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.
For machines with stainless steel surfaces:
Do not use sticky notes, adhesive tape, masking tape or other
types of adhesive on the stainless steel surfaces.
Stainless steel surfaces are susceptible to scratching. Even
magnets can cause scratches.

Before using for the first time
30
To ensure that any coffee residues
from the factory testing process are
removed from the brewing system,
please throw away the first 2cups of
coffee when using the coffee
machine for the first time.
After setting the machine up you can
make your first drinks. Coffee beans
can be ground up to five times, as the
coffee machine checks whether there
is sufficient ground coffee to make an
aromatic cup of coffee, and will grind
more beans as necessary.
Filling the water container
31
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.
Change the water in the water
container every day.
Risk of damage due to incorrect
operation.
Unsuitable liquids such as hot or
warm water or other liquids can
damage the coffee machine.
Bottled mineral water leaves too
much limescale in the coffee
machine.
Only use cold, fresh tap water to fill
the water container.
Open the lid on the left-hand side of
the coffee machine.
Pull the water container up by the
handle to remove it.
Fill the water container with fresh,
cold drinking water up to the max.
mark.
Push the water container back into
the machine.
Close the lid.
If the water container is not inserted
correctly (e.g. sits too high or at an
angle), water can leak from the outlet
valve.
Check whether the surface that the
water container sits on is soiled. If
necessary, clean the surface that the
water container sits on.
Filling the coffee bean container
32
Coffee or espresso can be made from
whole roasted coffee beans which are
freshly ground in the coffee machine for
each portion. This requires the coffee
bean container to be filled with coffee
beans.
Alternatively, you can make coffee
drinks with ready ground coffee.
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 caster 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.
Tip: You can use a nut or seed grinder
to grind green coffee beans. These
types of grinder generally have a
rotating stainless steel blade. You can
then add the ground green coffee one
portion at a time to the ground coffee
chute and make the desired coffee
drink.
Take the lid off the coffee bean
container.
Fill the container with roasted coffee
beans.
Replace the lid.
Tip: Only add enough beans to last for
a few days.
Contact with air causes coffee beans to
lose their aroma.

maximum of ten days and after that
must be reset. Timer settings, profiles
and other settings will be kept.
Central spout with cup rim sensor
34
The central spout with cup rim sensor
features automatic spout adjustment.
Thanks to this spout adjustment
function, the central spout moves down
automatically at the start of a drink
preparation process and the cup rim
sensor stops it at the optimum height
for the cups or glasses being used.
The central spout and cup rim sensor
cannot be manually adjusted.

Coffee
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.
Coffee drinks made with and without
milk
You can use the coffee machine to
prepare the following coffee-based
drinks:
- Café au lait. This is an espresso with
slightly hotter milk.
- Caffè Americano consists of
espresso and hot water. The
espresso is made first, then the hot
water is dispensed into the cup.
- Caffè latte consists of coffee and hot
milk.
- Cappuccinoconsists of approx.
2thirds milk froth and 1third
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 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.
- Espresso macchiato. This is an
espresso with a small amount of milk
froth on top.
Select a cup which can hold at least
100ml for this drink.
- Flat white is a large cappuccino: lots
of espresso with plenty of milk froth.
- 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.
- Long coffee is a coffee with
considerably more water.
- Latte macchiato consists of 1third
each of hot milk, milk froth and
espresso.
- Long black. This is made with hot
water and two shots of espresso.
- Ristretto is a strong, concentrated
espresso. It is prepared with the
same amount of coffee as for an
espresso but with a lot less water.
Hot milk or milk froth can also be
made.
Making drinks
37
The milk
Cow’s milk or alternative plant-based
dairy products (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.
Dairy milk naturally contains bacteria.
If using dairy milk make sure that it
has been pasteurised, e.g.
pasteurised cow’s milk.
As soon as you select a drink
containing milk, the machine will start to
heat up. The milk will be drawn up into
the central spout where it is heated by
steam and also frothed for drinks
requiring milk froth.
You can prepare hot milk and milk froth
using cow’s milk or alternative plant-
based dairy products. However, the
consistency of the milk froth will vary
greatly depending on the type of milk
used. Not all types of milk are suitable
for milk froth.
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 whole
milk (at least3.5% fat), the milk froth
will be slightly creamier than with low-
fat milk.
Alternative plant-based dairy products
– hereafter referred to as “alternative
dairy products” – contain different
ingredients than cow’s milk, for
example. Due to natural settling,
alternative dairy products tend to
thicken. When preparing hot milk or
milk froth, this thicker consistency can
prevent the alternative dairy products
from being drawn into the milk
pipework.
Stir alternative dairy products well
immediately before preparation.
Do not shake alternative dairy
products. Shaking causes foam to
form in the packaging and impairs the
preparation process.
Tip: Rinse the milk pipework manually
immediately after preparation.
Connecting piece for milk siphon and
milk container
You can prepare milk with the milk
siphon or milk container.
There is one connecting piece included
in the scope of delivery which can be
inserted either into the milk siphon or
into the milk container lid.
The appliance is supplied with the
connecting piece already inserted into
the milk container lid. The connecting
piece is easy to push out from the
inside of the milk container lid.

Using the milk container
Milk is not cooled in the milk
container.
Milk may spoil if it is left in the milk
container for an extended period
without being cooled (depending on
the type of milk).
In particular, do not leave cow’s milk
in the milk container for an extended
period without cooling it.
Please follow the manufacturer’s
instructions regarding the shelf life of
the milk used.
If you have not made any milk drinks
for a while, rinse the milk pipework
thoroughly before making the first
drink.
Insert the connecting piece into the
lid from above until everything sits
flush.
Connect the stainless steel tube to
the inside of the lid. Make sure that
the slanted end of the stainless steel
tube is pointing downwards.
If you use alternative dairy products,
make sure that you stir the milk well.
To ensure the best preparation,
alternative dairy products must be
stirred and not shaken.
Fill the milk container with milk up to
a maximum of2cm below the rim.
Tip: For high-quality milk froth, always
use cold milk (<10°C).
Seal the milk container with the lid.
Place the milk container next to the
coffee machine.
Connect the milk pipework to the milk
container lid.
Connect the milk container to the
coffee machine by attaching the milk
pipework to the aperture in the
central spout.

Using a milk carton with the milk
siphon
If you have not made any milk drinks
for a while, rinse the milk pipework
thoroughly before making the first
drink.
The milk siphon enables you to prepare
milk directly from milk cartons or other
suitable containers. The milk siphon is
made up of the connecting piece and a
long stainless steel tube.
Tip: For high-quality milk froth, always
use cold milk (<10°C).
Connect the connecting piece to the
milk siphon.
Connect the milk pipework to the
connecting piece.
If you use alternative dairy products,
make sure that you stir the milk well.
To ensure the best preparation, the
milk must be stirred and not shaken.
Place the milk carton next to the
coffee machine.
Dip the milk siphon into the milk.
Connect the milk pipework to the
aperture in the central spout.
Tip: The milk pipework is easier to
connect to the aperture in the central
spout if the central spout is in the
maintenance position. Touch the

The respective dispensing temperatures
are recommended by Miele for making
black tea, green tea, herbal or fruit tea.
Follow the instructions for making
tea on the tea packaging.
The taste of the tea will be affected by
the type of water used. Water should be
as soft as possible to allow the aroma
to develop.
Whether you use loose tea leaves,
blended tea or tea bags depends on
your own personal preference.
Making drinks
43
The amount of tea and the brewing time
will vary depending on the type of tea.
Always follow the recommendations of
the manufacturer on the packaging or
of the retailer. The amount of hot water
used can be adjusted depending on the

TouchOK again to save your
changed settings.
Quantity of coffee
The coffee machine can grind and brew
6–14g of coffee beans per cup. The
greater the quantity of ground coffee,
the stronger the drink.
The quantity of coffee is too low if the
espresso or coffee lacks body.
Increase the quantity of coffee to brew
more ground coffee.
The quantity of coffee is too high if the
espresso or coffee tastes bitter.
Decrease the quantity of coffee to brew
less ground coffee.
Brewing temperature
The brewing temperature must be
adapted to the beans you are using and
how they are roasted. It also varies
depending on whether you are making
espresso or coffee.
Some bean 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.
Pre-brewing the 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. The
remaining amount of water is then
pressed through the moistened coffee
grounds shortly after. If your coffee
tastes too bland and you want to 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: We particularly recommend using
the “Pre-brewing” function to make
coffee.
Degree of grinding
47
The degree of grinding determines the
contact time between the ground coffee
and the water, known as the extraction
time. Only when the ideal degree of
grinding is selected can the machine
dispense a perfect cup of coffee with a
fine, hazelnut brown crema.
Identifying the ideal degree of
grinding
There are various ways to tell whether
the degree of grinding is set correctly.
The degree of grinding is too coarse if:
- The espresso or coffee flows into the
cup very quickly
- The espresso or coffee tastes sour
- The crema is very pale and uneven
The degree of grinding is too fine if:
- The espresso or coffee flows into the
cup very slowly
- The espresso or coffee tastes too
bitter
- The crema is dark brown
Adjusting the degree of
grinding
If the degree of grinding is adjusted
by more than one level, the grinder
may be damaged.
Only ever adjust the degree of
grinding one level at a time.
Each time you adjust the setting,
start making a new drink so that the
beans are ground. You can then
adjust the degree of grinding by one
setting again.
The slide control for adjusting the
degree of grinding is located on the top
right behind the appliance door.
Open the appliance door.
Push the slide control a maximum of
one setting to the left (for finer
grinding) or to the right (for coarser
grinding).
The degree of grinding you select will
be used for all coffee drinks.
Close the appliance door.
Make one cup of coffee.
Adjust the degree of grinding again, if
required.
The altered degree of grinding will not
be used until after the second coffee
has been dispensed.
The grinder will naturally wear out
slightly over time. Set the grinder to a
finer degree of grinding if necessary.
Portion size
48
The flavour of the coffee produced
depends not only on the type of coffee,
but also on the amount of water used.
You can programme the amount of
water for all coffee drinks, tea and hot
water to suit the size of your cups and
to suit the type of coffee you are using.
This does not alter the amount of coffee
used.
For coffee drinks with milk you can also
set the amount of milk or milk froth to
suit your personal taste. You can also
set the portion sizes for hot milk and
milk froth.
The changed portion size is always
saved in the current profile. The name
of the current profile is shown in the
top left of the display.
If the water container becomes empty

Timer
There are two timers with the following
functions:
The coffee machine
- switches on at a particular time, e.g.
in the morning for breakfast (Switch on
at).
- switches off at a particular time
(Switch off at),
- switches off after a particular length
of time if none of the sensors has
been touched or a drink has not been
made ( Switch off after; available with
Timer 1 only).
You can allocate the timer functions to
individual days of the week.
For Switch on at and Switch off at, the
timer must be activated and at least
one day of the week allocated.
Selecting a timer
The options are:
- Timer 1: Switch on at, Switch off at,
Switch off after
- Timer 2: Switch on at, Switch off at
Switch on at
The coffee machine will not switch on
at the required time if you have
activated the system lock.
The timer settings are deactivated.
If the coffee machine has switched itself
on automatically three times via the
Switch on at timer function and no drinks
have been dispensed, the machine will
not switch itself on again automatically.
This prevents the coffee machine from
switching itself on unnecessarily, for
example, whilst you are away on
holiday.
The programmed times will, however,
remain in memory and will be
reactivated after manually switching the
machine on again.
Switch off at
In the event of a longer absence the
programmed times will remain in
memory and will be reactivated after
manually switching the machine on
again (see “Switch on at”).
Switch off after
The Switch off after timer function is
only available in Timer 1.
If none of the sensors have been
touched or no drink has been made, the
coffee machine will switch itself off after
20 minutes to save energy.
You can change this to another time of
between 15 minutes and 9 hours.
Allocating days of the week

Water hardness
If a descaling cartridge is not fitted
and you descale the coffee machine
using descaling tablets, the machine
should be set to the local water
hardness. A prompt to descale the
machine will then appear in the
display at the correct time.
Programme the coffee machine to the
water hardness level of your area so
that it functions correctly and does not
get damaged.
Contact your local water supplier to find
out your local water hardness range if
necessary.
If you are using bottled drinking water,
e.g. mineral water, select settings
according to the calcium content. The
calcium content is specified on the label
of the bottle in mg/lCa
2+
or ppm
(mgCa
2+
/l).
Do not use carbonated water.
Tip: If your water hardness is >21°dH
(3.8mmol/l), we recommend using
bottled drinking water instead
(<150mg/lCa
2+
). This will mean your
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.
The machine is programmed ex-works
to hardness level3.
The machine has four programmable
levels:
°dH mmol/l ppm
(mg/l CaCO

Cleaning the milk pipework
manually or using the
maintenance programme
Risk to health due to inadequate
cleaning
Milk naturally contains bacteria. Heat
and moisture inside the coffee
machine can cause these bacteria to
multiply, e.g. milk residues can go off
and pose a risk to health.
Clean all components in which milk
is transported on a regular basis.
The milk pipework must be cleaned at
least once a week. A message in the
display will prompt you when this needs
to be done.
Confirm withOK.
When you confirm the message Clean
the milk pipework with OK, the internal
counter for the cleaning interval will be
reset. You will not be reminded again.
There are two options for cleaning the
milk pipework:
- You can remove and dismantle the
central spout with its integrated
Cappuccinatore and either wash it in
the dishwasher or by hand with warm
water and a little washing-up liquid
(see “Cleaning the central spout with
integrated Cappuccinatore”).
- Or you can clean the milk pipework
using the Clean the milk pipework
maintenance programme together
with the cleaning agent for milk
pipework (see “Cleaning the milk
pipework”).
If you have released the connecting
piece from the milk pipework: when
reassembling, ensure that the smaller,
thinner end of the connecting piece is

Tip: In addition to your weekly cleaning
routine we recommend carrying out the
alternative cleaning procedure once a
month. For example if you manually
clean the machine once a week, then
you should run the maintenance
programme once a month. This
combination will ensure optimum
cleaning of the milk pipework.

Descaling the machine
Risk of damage from spilt descaling
solution.
Sensitive surfaces and/or natural
floors can suffer damage.
Wipe up any spillages of descaling
agent immediately.
Limescale builds up in the coffee
machine through use. How often the
appliance needs to be descaled will
depend on the water hardness level in
your area. Limescale must be removed
regularly.
Depending on how you use your
machine and the water hardness level
in your area, occasionally you will
need to descale your machine
manually in addition to automatic
descaling.
If a descaling cartridge is not fitted, an
empty cartridge is fitted or an expired
cartridge is fitted, the machine needs to
be descaled regularly using the Descale
the machine maintenance programme.
The appliance will guide you through
the descaling process. Various
messages will appear in the display,
e.g. you will be prompted to empty the
drip tray or fill the water container.
You need 1descaling tablet for the

Risk of damage from spilt descaling
solution.
Sensitive surfaces and/or natural
floors can suffer damage.
Wipe up any spillages of descaling
solution.
When handling a 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 an automatic
maintenance programme for descaling
the appliance. For automatic descaling,
a Miele descaling cartridge is fitted at
the back of the coffee machine. The
coffee machine will automatically
determine when to carry out automatic
descaling based on the usage pattern.
Automatic descaling takes
approx.30minutes, including the
activation time.
You can set the time for automatic
descaling to start using the Descaling
timer.
Water is mixed with the descaling agent
to create a solution for automatic
descaling. This descaling solution is
then pumped through the pipework of
the coffee machine. After the activation
time, the solution is then rinsed out of
the pipework and the machine can then
be used as normal for making drinks.
During automatic descaling you will
hear pumping and rinsing noises at
frequent intervals even though the
appliance is switched off and the
display is dark.
If you do not make any drinks,
automatic descaling will not be started.
To ensure the longevity of
components and a consistent
environment free of limescale, the
coffee machine needs to be manually
descaled from time to time. The
intervals are determined by your
usage behaviour and the water
hardness level of your area. If you
make a lot of coffees with milk, for
example, you will need to descale the
coffee machine more frequently with
the descaling tablets.
Please note before and during
automatic descaling:
The coffee machine must be ready to
use and the following conditions must
be met:
- A descaling cartridge which is ready
to use is fitted.
- The coffee machine is connected to
the electricity supply. The coffee
machine must not be disconnected
from the electricity supply during
automatic descaling.
- The drip tray, brew unit and central
spout are inserted.
- The water container is inserted and is
filled with water at least up to the
descaling symbol (at least 500ml
water).
- Carry out the instructions which
appear in the display before
switching off, e.g. Empty the drip tray.
- The milk pipe is inserted into the
aperture in the drip tray cover.
- The coffee machine is switched off.

The Miele descaling cartridge
Only use the Miele descaling
cartridge for the automatic descaling
programme.
Please note that the Miele descaling
cartridge has a lifespan 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
lifespan is the date on which the
descaling cartridge was fitted and
filled with water.
Do not fit 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.
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 7 to
12months of automatic descaling,
depending on how often the coffee
machine is used.
A prompt will appear in the display
shortly before the descaling cartridge is
depleted, reminding you that it needs to
be replaced. Confirm the message
withOK. After this first message, 6
more descaling programmes are
possible.
The descaling cartridge is available to
order from the Miele online shop, Miele
Customer Service Department
Customer Service Department or your
Miele dealer.
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
machine maintenance programme. To
do this, the appropriate descaling
agent is required (see “Cleaning and
care – Descaling the machine”).
The descaling cartridge can remain
fitted even if the machine is not used for
a long time. Remove the cartridge
before transporting the coffee machine.
However, please note the following:
- Once filled with water, the descaling
cartridge has a maximum shelf life of
3weeks outside of the machine.
- It should be transported with care
and upright. Avoid shaking it.
Shaking or turning upside down
reduces the shelf life or damages the
cartridge.
- The cartridge should be stored
upright, in a dark place and at room
temperature (16–38°C).

Confirm the message withOK.
Make sure that the coffee machine is ready to use
before the next descaling process.
The coffee machine was not switched off at the start
time using the On/Offbutton.
The coffee machine pipework will only be filled with
descaling solution when the coffee machine is
switched off.
Confirm the message withOK.
Change the start time if necessary.
Descale appliance manually
appears in the display
even though a descal-
ing cartridge which is
ready to use is fitted.
Drinks cannot be made.
Depending on the water hardness level in your area
and your usage behaviour, 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”).
Problem solving guide

Unsatisfactory results
Problem Cause and remedy
The coffee is not hot
enough.
The cup has not been pre-heated.
The smaller the cup and the thicker its sides, the
more important it is to pre-heat it.
Pre-heat the cups, e.g. using the cup heating
(depending on model).
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.
Drinks are being dis-
pensed from the central
spout considerably
more slowly. The heat-
ing-up time is getting
longer and the coffee
machine is not perform-
ing properly.
The coffee machine needs descaling.
If you use hard water (>20°dH / 3.6 mmol/l) or if the
coffee machine is used intensively, it may be
necessary to descale the machine manually more
frequently.
Run the Descale the machine maintenance
programme. You will need one descaling tablet.
The consistency of the
milk froth is unsatisfact-
ory.
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 pipework is blocked.
Clean the central spout and milk pipework with the
brush.
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. Call
Service.
Problem solving guide
96
Problem Cause and remedy
There is no crema on
the coffee or espresso.
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.
The coffee tastes weak.
The coffee grounds in
the waste container are
sludgy and grainy.
Insufficient coffee beans are getting into the grinder
and less ground coffee is being brewed. If you have
used a dark roast, this type of coffee bean is often
more oily. These oils can cling to the inside of the
coffee bean container and hinder the flow of beans.
Make a coffee and observe whether the coffee
beans drop into the coffee bean container.
Clean the coffee bean container more often if you
are using a darker, more oily bean.
Try other types of coffee bean which are less oily.

Transporting the machine
99
If you are not going to use the coffee
machine for an extended period of time,
e.g. whilst on holiday, or if it needs to
be moved, a number of procedures will
need be carried out to ensure its safety.
- Empty and clean the coffee bean
container
- Empty and clean the water container
- Evaporate the coffee machine
- Remove the descaling cartridge and
insert the adapter.
- Clean the inside of the machine
- Pack the machine securely
Evaporation
The coffee machine pipework should be
evaporated before it is stored for a long
period of time or transported any
distance – particularly at temperatures
below freezing.
Evaporating the appliance involves
removing all traces of water from the
system to prevent the risk of water and
frost damage.
The Drinksmenu is displayed.
Danger of burning and scalding
on the dispensing spouts.
Hot steam can cause scalding.
Keep well away from the area
underneath the spouts when hot
liquids or steam are being
dispensed.
Do not touch hot components.
Touch .
Touch Settings .
Touch Service.
Touch Evaporate.
Touch Yes to confirm.
Follow the instructions in the display.
Remove the descaling cartridge and
seal it with the cap.
Once filled with water, the descaling
cartridge has a max. shelf life of three
weeks outside of the machine. The
cartridge should be stored upright, in
a dark place and at room temperature
(16-38°C).
Insert the adapter in place of the
cartridge.
Transporting the machine
100
When the display goes out, the
machine has finished evaporating.
Clean the drip tray and waste
container.
Packaging
Make sure the appliance is clean and
dry before packing it. Ground coffee
residues can scratch the surfaces. In
addition, coffee, milk and water
residues cause a build-up of bacteria.
Use the original packaging to pack the
coffee machine.
Keep the operating instructions in the
box. This means that you have them to
hand if you want to reuse the coffee
machine.

Saving energy
102
The following tips can help you save
energy and money as well as care for
the environment:
- Operate the coffee machine in Eco
mode (default setting).
- Select dimmer lighting or abstain
from using lighting when the
appliance is switched on.
- Switch off the lighting switch-off time
when the appliance is switched off.
- Switch off the clock display.
- The coffee machine’s energy
consumption may increase if you
change the settings for the timer.
This setting uses more energy appears in
the display.
- Switch the coffee machine off with
the On/Off sensor control if it is
not going to be used for a while.
- Change the setting for the Switch off
after timer to 20minutes. The coffee
machine will then switch itself off
20minutes after the last drink was
made or a sensor control was
touched.
- If you only want to pre-heat your
cups occasionally, you can switch the
cup heating surface off. You can use
hot water to pre-heat the cups
instead.
Electrical connection
103
The coffee machine is supplied with a
mains cable with moulded plug ready
for connection to a suitable earthed
socket.
The socket must be easily accessible
after the coffee machine has been
installed. If the socket is not easily
accessible, ensure that a suitable
means of disconnection is provided on
the installation side for each pole.
Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the coffee machine to
multi-socket adapters or extension
cables can overload the cables.
For safety reasons, do not use multi-
socket adapters, extension cables,
adapters and/or energy-saving plug.
The electrical system must comply with
local and national safety regulations
(BS7671 in the UK).
For safety reasons, we recommend
using a type residual current device
(RCD) in the relevant electrical
installation for connecting the coffee
machine.
If the mains connection cable is
damaged, it must only be replaced with
a specific mains connection cable of
the same type (available from the Miele
Customer Service Department). For
safety reasons, such replacement may
only be carried out by a qualified
specialist or the Miele Customer
Service Department.
The data plate indicates the nominal
power consumption.
The fuse rating must be at least 10A.
Compare this information with the data
of the on-site electrical connection.
Consult a qualified electrician if in any
doubt.
Temporary or permanent operation on
an autonomous power supply system or
a power supply system that is not
synchronised with the mains 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 synchronised with
the mains power supply, or these
measures must be replaced by
equivalent measures in the installation.
