Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Disposal of your old machine  
Electrical and electronic machines  
often contain materials which, if  
handled or disposed of incorrectly,  
could be potentially hazardous to  
human health and to the environment.  
They are, however, essential for the  
correct functioning of your machine.  
Please do not therefore dispose of it  
with your household waste.  
The transport and protective packing  
has been selected from materials which  
are environmentally friendly for  
disposal, and can normally be  
recycled.  
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,  
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and  
kept out of the reach of babies and  
young children. Danger of suffocation.  
Dispose of or recycle all packaging  
materials safely as soon as possible.  
Rather than just throwing these  
materials away, please ensure that they  
are recycled.  
Please dispose of it at your local  
community waste collection/recycling  
centre, or contact your Dealer for  
advice. Ensure that it presents no  
danger to children while being stored  
for disposal.  
It should be disconnected from the  
mains electricity supply by a competent  
person.

coffee capsules. These 20 coffee  
capsules are divided between 5

machine.  
The easy-to-use programming facility  
allows, amongst other things, the  
language in the display to be changed  
and the water hardness to be  
programmed in.  
To ensure that the flavour can develop  
fully and be maintained for longer the  
machine has an additional function for  
automatically rinsing the system  
when the machine is cold. The same  
function is used to flush coffee remains  
out of the system and the spout after  
use.  
If the machine is used by various  
people with different tastes and  
preferences, you can programme  
specific settings for up to nine  
individual users (User profiles).  
There is no need to remove each

are damaged, broken, dented or  
bent up at the edges. They can get  
stuck in the machine.  
^ If you have removed the capsule  
carousel, place it onto the carousel  
runners before putting it back into the  
machine. You do not have to position  
it in a particular way, as the machine  
will automatically guide it into  
position.  
The capsule carousel has  
five chambers, each holding  
four capsules. It is important  
to allocate the chambers correctly (see  
"Allocating and saving a coffee type").  
You can fill all the chambers with the  
same type of coffee, if wished.  
^ Push the carousel runners fully back  
into the machine.  
Some of the chambers are allocated a  
type of coffee at the factory. Fill the  
chambers with the appropriate type of  
coffee, or re-allocate the chamber for a  
different type of coffee (see "Allocating  
and saving coffee types"). The machine  
will then dispense the type of coffee  
you select.  
^ Close the front of the machine.  
The machine will now align the capsule  
carousel. You will be able to hear this  
happening.  
Taking capsules out of the  
capsule carousel  
If you want to change the capsules in  
the carousel:  
^ Pull the carousel runners out.  
^ Pull the capsule carousel upwards to  
remove it.  
^ Push upwards on the ring underneath  
the magazine and then remove the  
capsules.  
^ Pull the carousel runners a out as far  
as possible.  
^ Fill the chambers c in the capsule  
carousel b with capsules. Make sure  
you put them in correctly with the foil

Making drinks  
Before preparing the first drink  
Important: the water piping must be  
rinsed through every day and the  
machine cleaned thoroughly before  
the first drink of the day is prepared.  
Rinsing will take place automatically  
if the Rinsing programme option has  
been set to "On" and the machine is  
cold. Hot water will run out of the  
spout into the drip tray once the  
machine has heated up.  
Filling the system with water  
The machine is emptied completely  
before it leaves the factory. You must  
allow water to be pumped through the  
system before the first drink of coffee or  
hot water is prepared.

Preparing hot milk, milk froth  
and cappuccino  
The drink you want will then run out of  
the spout.  
This machine comes with a  
cappuccinatore (milk frother) which  
makes it easy to prepare hot milk, milk  
froth and cappuccino.  
You can programme the size  
of portion dispensed for  
espresso and coffee  
according to taste (see "Programming  
the amount: Setting the portion sizes").  
Before using the cappuccinatore for  
the first time, clean it thoroughly,  
preferably in the dishwasher (see  
"Cleaning and care").  
Double portion  
If you want to dispense a double  
portion of coffee or espresso or to  
dispense two portions at the same time:  
^ touch the OK sensor again whilst  
"Double portion?" is in the display.  
The two portions will be dispensed one  
after the other.  
Cancelling preparation  
The cappucinatore must always be  
assembled correctly with valve a  
above the handle and the spout b at  
the side.  
^ Touch the OK sensor when "Stop" is  
showing in the display.  
Preparation will be halted.  
The valve has two settings:  
– Turn it anti-clockwise as far as it will  
go to heat milk.  
– Turn it clockwise as far as it will go to  
froth milk.  
18  
Making drinks  
Do not set the valve between these  
two settings as this will cause the  
milk to sputter.  
Steam release is controlled by a  
timer. If you do not get sufficient  
froth in your cup and the steam jet  
has stopped releasing steam,  
please shut off the steam valve on  
the machine. Press it downwards  
again to reconnect it with the  
cappuccinatore.  
Milk can be frothed and dispensed  
straight into a cup, or heated or frothed  
in the cappuccinatore jug first and then  
poured manually into the cup. The  
spout must be pushed in or pulled out:  
Dispensing froth directly into the cup  
^ Push the spout into the lid as far as it  
will go.  
^ Turn the valve on the cappuccinatore  
clockwise as far as it will go.  
– Milk spout pushed in: Milk will be  
frothed and dispensed directly into  
the cup  
– Milk spout pulled out: Milk will be  
frothed in the cappuccinatore jug  
Heating the milk in the  
cappuccinatore jug gives  
you hotter milk.  
^ Fill the cappuccinatore a up to the  
upper marker with cold milk and  
replace the lid.  
Cold milk makes the best froth.  
Do not use milk with additives.

Making drinks  
Frothing milk in the cappuccinatore  
The steam valve must engage in the  
lower position in order to connect  
properly with the cappuccinatore.  
^ Pull the spout out of the lid as far as it  
will go.  
^ Turn the valve on the cappuccinatore  
clockwise as far as it will go.  
^ When you have enough froth in the  
cup push the steam valve upwards  
again.  
^ Fill the cappuccinatore up to the  
lower marker with cold milk and  
replace the lid.  
Preparing cappuccino  
^ Place the cappuccinatore in the  
insert in the drip tray.  
^ Dispense milk froth into the cup, as  
described above.  
^ Use the drink selection sensor to  
select Espresso.  
^ Touch the OK sensor once.  
The espresso will be dispensed from  
the coffee spout, and your cappuccino  
is ready.  
You can also prepare milk froth and  
espresso at the same time. Making it  
at the same time will, however, leave  
the cappuccino looking a bit brown.  
It is also harder to get the ratio of  
coffee to milk right.  
^ Press down the steam valve a slowly  
and carefully to connect it to the  
cappuccinatore b.  
The steam valve must engage in the  
lower position in order to connect  
properly with the cappuccinatore.  
You can only make coffee and froth  
at the same time if the steam system  
is set up for this. See "Settings:  
customising your machine - Setting  
the Steam system").  
^ When you have sufficient froth push  
the steam valve upwards again.

Preparing hot milk  
After preparing milk/Interim cleaning  
If you want to use the  
cappuccinatore again before  
cleaning it thoroughly, e.g.  
because there is some milk left in the  
cappuccinatore, you can use the coffee  
machine to rinse the lid. This will  
remove any milk deposits.  
^ Turn the valve on the cappuccinatore  
anti-clockwise as far as it will go.  
Carrying out the rinsing programme  
is not a substitute for cleaning it  
thoroughly in the dishwasher.  
^ Fill the cappuccinatore up to the  
upper marker with cold milk and  
replace the lid.  
Rinse  
^ Push the milk spout in as far as it will  
go (for frothing hot milk to be  
dispensed into a cup) or pull the milk  
spout out (for frothing hot milk in the  
cappuccinatore jug) and place the  
cappuccinatore in the insert of the  
drip tray.

Setting the water hardness  
If the water is harder than  
For trouble-free operation of the coffee  
machine, and to ensure that the  
descaling reminder appears in the  
display at the appropriate time, it is  
important to set the water hardness  
level. 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 machine will need to be  
descaled.  
40°d/7.0 mmol/l, limescale will build  
up more rapidy than with soft water.  
Descaling will need to be carried out  
more regularly than stated to  
prevent limescale damage to the  
machine.  
The machine has four programmable  
levels:  
– Soft:  
Local water hardness level 1  
0-3°d (0-0.6 mmol/l)  
Water through-flow: approx. 100 l  
Steam through-flow: approx. 120  
min.  
The machine measures the amount of  
water which has been taken in  
(including the amount required for  
producing steam). The amount of water  
which the machine can use before it  
needs to be descaled will depend on  
the water hardness level set. Less  
water will be used in hard water areas  
than in soft water areas.  
– Medium:  
Local water hardness level 1  
4-7°d (0.7-1.3 mmol/l)  
Water through-flow: approx. 80 l  
Steam through-flow: approx. 90 min.  
– Hard:  
Your local water authority will be able to  
tell you the hardness of water in your  
area. Alternatively, you can measure  
the hardness yourself using the  
enclosed test strip:  
Local water hardness level 2  
7-14°d (1.3-2.5 mmol/l)  
Water through-flow: approx. 60 l  
Steam through-flow: approx. 60 min.  
– Very hard:  
Local water hardness levels 3-4

It is important to clean the machine  
regularly, as the used coffee grounds  
will soon go mouldy.  
All removable parts can be cleaned in  
the dishwasher except for:  
– The capsule plate  
– The plastic grille  
If the parts are cleaned frequently in a  
dishwasher, they can become  
discoloured from regular contact with  
food residues (e.g. tomatoes).

Cleaning and care  
Water container  
Empty the water container daily and fill  
with fresh, cold tap water just before  
use.  
When cleaning, make sure that there  
is no soiling in the area around the  
valve. Otherwise the container will  
not sit correctly and this could result  
in water leaking from the machine.  
^ Clean inside the waste container

care to clean the recesses properly.  
Waste container  
Clean the waste container daily. Coffee  
remains can turn mouldy.  
^ Push the waste container back into  
the machine as far as it will go.  
When you push the waste container  
into the machine, you also push a  
lever backwards. This tells the  
machine that the waste container has  
been put back. There will be a little  
resistance as you do this. This is  
quite normal.  
There will probably also be water in the  
waste container left over from the  
brewing and rinsing process.  
^ Lift the waste container and pull it  
forwards to remove.  
Clean the waste container with hot  
water and a little washing-up liquid or in  
the dishwasher and dry with a cloth.  
43  
Cleaning and care  
Drip tray  
There is a sensor in the drip tray which  
causes a message to appear in the  
display when the drip tray is full and  
needs to be emptied. Remove the tray  
and empty and clean it when this  
message appears.  
However, to avoid a build-up of odours,  
the drip tray should be cleaned every  
day.  
^ Clean the drip tray and the grid with  
hot water and a little washing-up  
liquid, or in the dishwasher and dry  
with a cloth.  
After running the last rinse you  
should leave the drip tray in position  
for a while before cleaning it so that  
you catch any remaining water from  
the system.  
Make sure that the metal contact  
discs at the top of the drip tray are  
cleaned and dried properly. These  
metal discs send a signal to the  
machine when the drip tray is full or  
if it is not in the machine. The discs  
will not convey these messages if  
they are dirty or damp.  
Take care when removing the drip  
tray as the water can be very hot.  
Danger of scalding.  
^ Open the machine front, and  
carefully remove the drip tray from  
the machine.  
^ Push the drip tray with the grid along  
the right hand edge back into the  
machine.  
The grid in the drip tray prevents the  
water from spilling out of the tray  
when it is being carried.  
^ Close the front of the machine.

Cleaning and care  
Grille with drip tray cover  
^ Lift the carousel runners up (a), and

carousel runners with hot water and a  
little washing-up liquid, or in the  
dishwasher and dry with a cloth.  
The plastic grille must only be  
washed by hand.  
Capsule carousel and carousel  
runners  
^ Also clean the area under the  
carousel runners. It is particularly  
important to clean the sensor which  
is used to recognise the capsule  
chambers as well as the recess in the  
floor. After cleaning, dry with a soft  
cloth.  
^ Pull the carousel runners a out as far  
as possible.  
^ To put the carousel runners back in,  
place them on the guide rails and  
push them into the machine until they  
click into position.  
^ Remove the capsule carousel b by  
pulling it upwards.  
^ Insert the capsule carousel. You do  
not have to position it in a particular  
way, as the machine will

washing-up liquid and dry it.  
^ Also clean the small drip tray in the  
lower part of the inside of the front of  
the machine thoroughly.  
^ Push the cover back onto the coffee  
outlet. Make sure that the cover sits  
correctly on the outlet.

Cleaning and care  
Capsule plate  
Steam valve  
How quickly the capsule plate  
becomes soiled will depend on the  
content of natural oils in the coffee  
used. It should be cleaned whenever  
the machine is descaled or more often  
if necessary using the cleaning tablets  
supplied with the machine. (Make sure  
you use the correct tablets - approx.  
1 cm diameter, pack of 10). Cleaning  
tablets are available from your Miele  
Dealer, the Miele Spare Parts

Cleaning and care  
Cappuccinatore (milk frother)  
Ensure that all parts have been  
reassembled correctly and that  
there is no gap between the two  
parts of the lid.  
The cappuccinatore can be dismantled  
into several parts to clean it properly. It  
is very important to clean the parts  
thoroughly as otherwise the froth will  
not be produced properly, if at all. It is  
best to clean the cappuccinatore in a  
dishwasher - all parts are dishwasher-  
safe.  
Also make sure that the  
reassembled lid is fitted onto the  
cappuccinatore jug correctly. The  
valve sits above the cappuccinatore  
handle. If this is not the case, the  
cappuccinatore will not operate  
properly.  
^ Dismantle the cappuccinatore lid and  
clean all the parts.  
You will not be able to pull the valve  
out if the dot is set between the  
symbols for hot milk and steam.  
^ Reassemble the parts of the lid as  
shown. In order to insert the valve  
correctly the dot on the valve must be  
at the top right-hand side.

Installation  
Installing a built-in coffee machine  
For units with 19 mm thick side  
walls:  
Before installation make sure that  
there is no power supply to the  
machine. This also applies should it  
ever need to be taken out of its  
housing unit.

thick you will need to drill four holes  
in the sides for securing the machine.  
To mark the position of these holes:  
– Align the machine in the niche.  
Screw the side socket screws inside  
the machine in a little so that they  
make indents in the side walls, and  
then unscrew them again.  
The machine must be built in before  
it is operated.  
You will need two Allen keys (size 3  
and 5) for installing the machine.  
– Take the machine out of the niche  
and drill ø 4.5 mm holes, 2 mm deep  
where you made the indentations.  
^ Push it all the way into the niche until  
you feel resistance.  
The following only applies when  
installing in a tall unit:  
^ Check the height of the machine to  
make sure that it is sitting centrally in  
the niche and that it is level.  
If this is not the case, realign the 4  
feet underneath the machine using  
the large allen key.  
The feet can be unscrewed by up to  
approx. 10 mm.  
66  
Installation  
Securing the machine
