11

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 hotliquids and steam are being dispensed.

Do not touch hot components.

Hot liquid or steam could spatter from the spouts. Ensure that thecentral spout is clean and fitted correctly.

Water in the drip tray can also be very hot. Take care whenemptying it.

Please note the following regarding water:

– Only use cold, fresh tap water to fill the water container. Hot orwarm water or other liquids could damage the coffee machine.

– Change the water every day to prevent a build-up of bacteria.

– Do not use mineral water. Mineral water will cause seriouslimescale deposits to build up in your machine and damage it.

– Do not use water from a reverse osmosis unit in this machine.This would damage it.

Only fill the bean container with roasted espresso/coffee beans.Do not fill the bean container with coffee beans which have beentreated 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 coffeebeans which contain green coffee beans. Green coffee beans arevery hard and still contain a certain amount of residual moisture.These can damage the coffee machine grinder as soon as grindingbegins.

Do not use coffee beans which have been treated with caramel,sugar or other substances including sugary liquids. Sugar willdamage the coffee machine.


12

Only fill the coffee chute with ground coffee beans.

Do not use any caramelised ready ground coffee. The sugar in thecoffee will stick to and block the brew unit of the coffee machine.The cleaning tablets for degreasing the brew unit will not remove thistype of deposit.

Only use milk without additives. Additives in milk usually containsugar and this will stick to the milk pipework.

If using dairy milk make sure that it has been pasteurised.

Do not place any alcohol mixtures which are alight underneath thecentral spout. The flames could ignite plastic components and causethem to melt.

Do not use naked flames, e.g. a candle, on or near the coffeemachine. The coffee machine could catch fire with the risk of the firespreading.

The machine must not be used for cleaning objects.


13

Cleaning and care

The coffee machine must be disconnected from the electricitysupply before cleaning or maintenance.

Clean the coffee machine daily, particularly before using for thefirst time (see “Cleaning and care”).

All parts of the milk system need to be cleaned thoroughly andregularly. Milk contains bacteria which proliferate rapidly withinadequate cleaning.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this machine. Steam couldreach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Descale the coffee machine regularly depending on the waterhardness level in your area. Descale the machine more frequently inareas with very hard water. Miele cannot be held liable for damagearising from insufficient descaling, the use of incorrect descalingagent or the use of descaling agent which is not of the appropriateconcentration.

Degrease the brew unit regularly with Miele cleaning tablets.Depending on the natural oil content of the coffee used, the brewunit can become blocked quite quickly.

Used coffee grounds should be disposed of with the organicrubbish or on the compost heap. Do not empty them down the sink,as they could block it.

Amount of coffee, brew temperature and pre-brewing

35

You can set the amount of coffee, thebrewing temperature and pre-brewingfor each drink individually. To do this,first select the drink from theParameters menu and then adjust thedrink parameters.

Touch and then select Parameters.

Select the drink and touch OK.

The current settings for the amount ofcoffee, brewing temperature and pre-brewing will be displayed for this drink.

Select Amount of coffee, Brewtemperature or Pre-brewing.

Select the setting you want andtouch OK.


Amount of coffeeThe coffee machine can grind and brew6-14 g of coffee beans per cup. Thegreater the quantity, the stronger thecoffee.

There are various ways to tell whetherthe amount of coffee is set correctly:

The amount of coffee is too low if

– Espresso or coffee flows into the cuptoo quickly,

– the crema is very pale and uneven,

– the espresso or coffee lacks body.

Increase the amount of coffee so thatmore ground coffee is brewed.

The amount of coffee is too high, if

– espresso or coffee flows into the cupvery slowly,

– the crema is dark brown,

– the espresso or coffee tastes bitter.

Decrease the amount of coffee so thatless ground coffee is brewed.

Tip: If the coffee is too strong for you orit tastes bitter, try a different type ofbean.

Brewing temperatureThe ideal brewing temperature willdepend on

– the type of coffee being used,

– whether an espresso or a coffee isbeing made, and

– the air pressure in the region.

Tip: Not all types of coffee tolerate hightemperatures. Several types aresensitive to high temperatures, resultingin an impaired crema and taste.

Pre-brewing the coffeeWhen the pre-brewing function isswitched on, the freshly ground coffeeis first moistened with a little hot water.Then the remaining water is forcedthrough the moistened coffee at highpressure. This helps release the flavourof the coffee.

You can set pre-brewing for a short orlong length of time, or deselect “ Pre-brewing ” altogether. The machine is supplied with the “Pre-brewing” function switched off.

Portion size

Unusual performance of the coffee machine


The display remainsdark after the coffeemachine has beenswitched on using theOn/Off sensor .

The On/Off sensor was not touched for longenough. Touch the depression in the middle of the On/Off

sensor for at least three seconds.The plug is not inserted in the socket correctly. Insert the plug into the socket correctly and switch

on.The mains fuse has tripped due to a problem with thecoffee machine, the electricity supply or anotherappliance. Switch the coffee machine off at the wall socket

and unplug it. Contact a qualified electrician or Miele Service.

The coffee machineswitches off suddenly.

The switch-off time programmed using the timer hasbeen reached. If required, you can select a new switch-off time

(see “Settings - Timer”).The plug is not inserted in the socket correctly. Insert the plug into the socket correctly and switch

on.

The sensors do notreact to touch.The coffee machinecannot be operated.

There is an internal fault. Disconnect the machine from the power supply by

removing the plug from the socket.

The display is hard tosee or not able to beread.

The display brightness has been set too low. Change this setting (see “Settings”).

The water container isempty. Fill and replace thewater container has notappeared in the display.

Droplets of water have settled between the watercontainer and the side walls of the casing, or this areais damp (see illustration).

Dry these surfaces thoroughly. Take the watercontainer out to refill it with water.

There is too much residual water on the inside wallsof the water container, e.g. a biofilm has developed.Or the water container has a build-up of limescale. Clean the water container every day.

Fill and replace the watercontainer appears in thedisplay even though thewater container is fulland in the machine.

The water container is not in the correct position. Remove the water container and push it back in

again.The water container was not correctly filled andrefitted for descaling. Fill the water container to the descaling symbol

and restart the descaling programme.

After switching on themachine the messageEmpty the drip tray and thewaste container appearseven though they areboth empty.

This is not a fault.The drip tray and waste container were probably notemptied after making the last coffee, or the internalcounter was not reset. Remove the drip tray and waste container from the

machine and empty them.

Neither milk nor milkfroth comes out of thecentral spout.

The milk pipework is blocked. Clean the central spout, taking particular care to

clean the cappuccinatore and milk pipeworkconnections carefully with the cleaning brush.


65


Empty the drip tray and thewaste container appearsin the display, eventhough the drip tray hasbeen emptied.

The drip tray is not positioned correctly in themachine. Push the drip tray in as far as it will go. Make sure that the lower panel is sitting on the

drip tray correctly.

Insert the drip tray and thewaste container appearsin the display eventhough both are fitted.

The drip tray is not in the correct position and istherefore not detected. Empty the drip tray and the waste container.

Reassemble all parts and push the drip tray backas far as it will go in the coffee machine.

The drip tray or wastecontainer is full oroverflowing, althoughthey have been emptiedfollowing eachreminder.

This is not a fault.The drip tray and waste container were probablyremoved or the machine was opened without the driptray and waste container being emptied. When thedrip tray is removed or the machine opened, theinternal counter for emptying the drip tray and wastecontainer is automatically reset. Remove the drip tray and waste container from the

machine and empty them.

Fill the bean containerappears in the displayeven though the beancontainer has just beenfilled.

This is not a fault. Confirm the message with OK.

Insufficient coffee beans are getting into the grinder.Have you used a dark roast?This type of coffee bean is often more oily. These oilscan cling to the inside of the coffee bean containerand 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.

The coffee machinedoes not rinse itselfwhen turned on.

This is not a fault.If the coffee machine is already at operatingtemperature, rinsing will not take place.


66


Coffee dispensing isrepeatedly interruptedand the message Fill thebean container appears inthe display.

This is not a fault.The brew unit has not detected the ground coffee.The coffee may be too finely ground or there may notbe enough of it. Usually this is because the grinder isset too fine and the amount set is insufficient.

Confirm the message with OK.

If the coffee is too strong for you or tastes bitter, try adifferent type of coffee beans.

If the display appears with all types of coffee: Set the grinder to a coarser setting (see “Grinder

setting”). Check the amounts of coffee set for all coffee

drinks (see “Amount of coffee”). Select a largeramount of coffee if necessary.

Don't forget to check any drinks changed in “Profiles”.If the message only appears when dispensing certaindrinks: Check the amount of coffee set for this drink (see

“Amount of coffee”). Select a larger amount ofcoffee.

You may also need to set a coarser grinder setting.

The descaling processwas started by mistake.

The descaling process cannot be stopped once the“OK” sensor has been touched.Descaling must be continued through to completion.This is a safety precaution to make sure the machineis descaled correctly. This is important for thelongevity and functional efficiency of your coffeemachine.

Descale the coffee machine (see “Descaling”).


67


The milk sputters whenit is dispensed. Hissingnoises can be heardwhen milk is beingheated up or frothed.Although the milkshould be frothed, onlyhot milk comes out ofthe main dispenser.

The milk temperature is too high. Good milk froth canonly be achieved with cold milk (below 10°C). Check the temperature of the milk.

The central dispenser with integrated cappucinatore isnot correctly fitted and is taking in air. Or the spoutsare blocked. Check whether the central spout has been

assembled correctly. Make sure that all parts aretightly connected to one another.

If necessary, clean the central spout.

The milk pipework, connections or the intake tube onthe milk flask are blocked. Clean all parts thoroughly.

The steam jet on the central spout has a blockage.

Push the cleaning brush a max. of 1 cm into thesteam jet.

Clean the steam jet with the cleaning brush.

Coffee grounds havesettled on the lid of thedrip tray and in theinterior around the brewunit.

This is not a fault.The movement of the brew unit during the brewingprocess can cause some ground coffee to fall aroundit. The type of beans used, the fineness of the groundcoffee and the amount of coffee ground also affectthe amount. Important! Clean the inside of the coffeemachine regularly to prevent mould etc.


68


The underside of thecoffee bean containercover is very dampDrops of water arevisible.

Too many drinks have been made one after the otherand the ground coffee chute is not closed or notproperly closed. Steam has risen up from the brewunit via the ground coffee chute and condensedunder the cover. Replace the lid on the ground coffee chute making

sure it is properly sealed.

Water from makingcoffee has collected onthe worktop underneaththe coffee machine.

This is not a fault. Water can get under the machinewhen the drip tray is removed.Clean the surfaces underneath the coffee machineregularly.

The display lights upbut the coffee machinedoes not heat up and nodrinks are made.The coffee machinecannot be turned offwith the On/Off sensor.

Demo mode for demonstrating the coffee machine inthe showroom has been activated. Deactivate demo mode (see “Settings – Demo
