Technical safety  
This machine complies with all  
relevant local and national safety  
requirements. Improper use can,  
however, present a risk of both  
personal injury and material  
damage.  
To avoid the risk of damage to the  
machine, make sure that the rating  
on the data plate corresponds to the  
voltage and frequency of the household  
supply, before connecting it to the  
mains supply. Consult a qualified  
electrician if in any doubt.  
To avoid the risk of accidents or  
damage to the machine it is  
The electrical safety of this  
machine can only be guaranteed  
when continuity is complete between it  
and an effective earthing system, which  
complies with local and national safety  
regulations. It is most important that this  
basic safety requirement is present and  
regularly tested, and where there is any  
doubt the household wiring system  
should be inspected by a qualified  
electrician.  
essential to read these instructions  
before it is installed or used for the  
first time. They contain important  
notes on installation, safety,  
operation and care of the machine.  
This machine is not a toy! To avoid  
the risk of injury, do not allow  
children to play on or near it, or to  
play with the controls. Supervise its  
use by the elderly and infirm.  
The manufacturer cannot be held liable  
for the consequences of an inadequate  
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).  
Keep these operating instructions in  
a safe place and pass them on to  
any future user.  
The machine must be built in  
before operation to ensure that no  
electrical components are accessible.  
Ensure power is not supplied to the  
machine until installation, repair work or  
maintenance work has been carried  
out.  
Correct use  
The machine is intended for  
domestic use only for the  
preparation of espresso, cappuccino  
and coffee. Any other usage is not  
supported by the manufacturer and  
could be dangerous. The manufacturer  
cannot be held liable for damage  
caused by incorrect or improper use of  
the machine.  
Do not connect the machine to the  
mains electricity supply by an  
extension lead.

plastic components and cause fire  
damage.  
Never swing from or hang anything  
on the front when it is open as this  
could damage the machine.  
Disposal of your old machine  
The hot water and steam could  
cause scalding. Be very careful  
when using these functions. Make sure  
you do not come into contact with hot  
steam or hot water. The machine must  
never be used for cleaning objects.  
Before throwing an old machine  
away, switch it off and disconnect it  
from the power supply. Cut off the cable  
directly behind it, then cut off the plug  
and render it useless to prevent misuse.  
Do not use steam cleaning  
apparatus to clean this machine.  
Pressurised steam could reach the  
electrical components and cause a  
short circuit.  
The manufacturer cannot be held  
liable for damage caused by  
non-compliance with these Warning  
and Safety instructions.  
Clean the machine every day to  
prevent a build-up of bacteria.  
The machine should be descaled  
regularly, depending on the  
hardness of the water, with the  
descaling tablets supplied. The harder  
the water, the more often the machine  
must be descaled. The manufacturer  
cannot be held liable for damage  
arising from insufficient descaling.

Brief description  
The capsule magazine can hold up to  
20 coffee capsules. These 20 coffee  
capsules are divided between 5  
chambers. This means that the capsule  
magazine can be filled with 5 different  
The hot water function is ideal for  
pre-warming the cups.  
The machine features a system lock to

types of coffee. These 5 different types The easy-to-use programming facility  
are programmed into the machine so  
that the type required can be selected  
from the display.  
allows, amongst other things, the  
language in the display to be changed  
and the water hardness to be  
programmed in.  
If the machine is used by various  
people with different tastes and  
preferences, you can programme  
specific settings for up to four  
individual users.  
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.  
There is no need to remove each  
individual spent capsule as the used  
coffee capsules drop down  
automatically into a waste container.  
The coffee capsules can be disposed  
of with your normal household waste.  
The machine can be programmed to  
switch to stand-by mode so it is always  
ready for operation but does not  
consume unnecessary electricity. This  
can be programmed to happen  
between 20 minutes and 2 hours after  
coffee was last dispensed. It is  
therefore important to set the correct  
time of day.  
The size of cup can be programmed in  
so that the correct amount is  
dispensed. If you decide to use a  
smaller cup than the programmed cup  
size, preparation can be halted at any  
time by pressing the right-hand control  
dial.  
You can also programme the machine  
to switch on and off at a particular  
time every day.  
If a double portion of coffee or  
espresso is required, a double portion  
can be selected. The machine will  
then prepare two portions one after the  
other.

If rinsing is set to "On", the machine will automatically  
carry out a brief rinse when it switches itself on.  
If the machine has switched itself on automatically 3 times  
and no drinks, hot water or steam have been displensed  
the machine will not switch itself on again automatically!  
The programmed times will, however, remain in memory  
and can be reactivated after manually switching the  
machine on again. This prevents the machine switching  
itself on unnecessarily, for example whilst you are away on  
holiday, and you have not cancelled the automatic  
switching on procedure.  
Switching off at a pre-set time  
If you always use your machine at a particular time of the day  
you can set it to switch off automatically at a specific time.  
Before you can do this, you must first make sure that the  
current time of day has been set.

Automatic rinsing  
To remove any coffee grounds from the system, the water  
piping must be rinsed through before the first drink of the day  
is prepared. If programme option "Automatic rinsing" is set to  
"On", rinsing will start automatically when the machine is  
switched on and cold. This will also pre-heat the system  
because hot water is used for the rinse process. A message  
will appear in the display to let you know what is happening.  
The machine will also run an automatic rinse before it  
switches off, if it has been used to prepare a drink.  
To prevent water from running into the drip tray  
always place an empty cup under the spouts  
before making the first drink.

Steam system  
The machine has two heating systems which allow you to  
dispense steam and coffee at the same time. To save energy,  
the steam system can be switched off if steam is not required  
all the time.  
When the steam system is switched off, the  
machine can still be used to make steam, but not  
at the same time as making coffee or espresso.  
If you operate the steam valve when the steam system is  
switched off the machine will not produce steam until it  
has heated itself up.  
The steam heating system remains active as long as the

Setting the water hardness  
For trouble-free operation of the coffee machine, and to  
ensure that the descaling reminder appears in the right  
display at the appropriate time, it is important to programme  
the machine for the water hardness level in your area. 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.  
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.  
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:  
^ Dip the strip in your drinking water for approximately a  
second, then shake off any excess water.  
The results will be evident after about 1 minute.  
If the water is harder than 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.  
Use programming option "Water hardness" to programme in  
your water hardness level.

Saving different types of coffee  
There are 12 different types of Nespresso coffee available for  
use in this machine (as well as occasional "special" brands).  
They vary in terms of taste, aroma and how they are roasted.  
Preparation time also affects the taste.  
Allocating the types of coffee (Allocate type)  
You can store five different types of coffee in this machine  
(e.g. for five different users with different tastes). There are  
five chambers. Make sure you put the different types of coffee  
in the correct chambers. You can fill all the chambers with the  
same type of coffee, if wished.

Filling the machine with water and coffee capsules  
Please clean the machine thoroughly before filling the  
water container and the capsule magazine (see "Cleaning  
and care").  
Filling the water tank  
The quality of the water plays an important part in  
the overall quality of the coffee. The water  
container should therefore be emptied and filled  
with fresh water every day.  
Hot water and other liquids could damage the machine.  
Use cold, clean drinking water and fill the machine every  
day. Do not on any account use mineral water. Mineral  
water will cause serious limescale deposits to build up in  
your machine and damage it.  
^ Open the front of the machine.  
^ Lift the water container up and pull it forwards to remove it.  
33  
Filling the machine with water and coffee capsules  
^ Fill the water container with cold, clean drinking water up to  
the "Max." level.  
A valve at the front of the water container will ensure that  
water cannot escape.  
^ Push the water container fully back into the machine.  
Filling the capsule magazine  
Never put anything other than Nespresso coffee capsules  
in the capsule magazine.  
Do not use coffee capsules which are damaged, broken or  
dented. They can get stuck in the machine.  
The capsule magazine has five chambers, each  
holding four capsules. It is important to allocate  
the chambers correctly (see "Allocating type").  
You can fill all the chambers with the same type of coffee, if  
wished.  
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  
"Saving different coffee types"). The machine will then  
dispense the type of coffee you select!  
^ Pull the magazine runners a out as far as possible.  
^ Fill the chambers c in the capsule magazine b with  
capsules. Make sure you put them in correctly with the foil  
facing downwards. You can take the capsule magazine out  
to fill it by lifting it upwards.  
34  
Filling the machine with water and coffee capsules  
Please note that the individual capsules sit loosely in the  
capsule magazine to prevent them from becoming  
jammed.  
^ If you have removed the capsule magazine, place it onto  
the magazine 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.  
^ Push the magazine runners fully back into the machine.  
^ Close the front of the machine.  
The machine will now align the capsule magazine. You will  
be able to hear this happening.  
Taking capsules out of the capsule magazine  
If you want to change the capsules in the magazine:  
^ Pull the magazine runners out.  
^ Pull the capsule magazine upwards to remove it.  
^ Push upwards on the ring at the base of the magazine and  
then remove the capsules.  
35  
Making coffee  
Important: the water piping must be rinsed through every  
day and the machine cleaned thoroughly before the first

Cappuccino  
This machine comes with a milk frother (cappuccinatore).  
With a little practice you will soon be able to make  
cappuccino like the professionals.  
Before using the milk frother for the first time, make sure  
you have cleaned it out properly. This is best done in the  
dishwasher (see "Cleaning and Care").  
The milk frother must always be assembled correctly with dial  
a above the handle and the spout for the froth on the side b.  
^ Turning the milk frother dial controls the amount of steam  
released. Turn it towards (1) for more heat and less froth  
and towards (2) for more froth.  
Milk can be frothed and dispensed straight into a cup, or  
frothed in the jug first and then poured manually into the cup.  
Frothing milk into the jug gives you warmer froth  
with greater volume.  
40  
Making coffee  
^ Turn the froth spout to the relevant symbol for the way you  
want to create the froth (Cup 1, Jug 2).  
Froth is best made from cold, skimmed or  
semi-skimmed milk. It is very important to warm  
the cup before pouring in the froth. See  
"Pre-warming cups" for instructions!  
Dispensing froth directly into a cup  
^ Fill the milk frother a up to the top mark with cold milk, fit  
the lid, and place it in position on the drip tray.  
^ Place a pre-warmed cup b under the coffee spout.  
^ Turn the froth spout towards the cup symbol so that the  
frothed milk will be directed into the cup.  
^ Turn the left-hand dial until you reach the type of coffee you  
want.  
^ Turn the right-hand dial to select the drink size.  
^ Press the right-hand dial.  
Espresso or coffee will run out of the spout.  
41  
Making coffee  
You can now wait until the coffee has been dispensed  
before adding the froth, or you can add it at the same time  
as dispensing the coffee, but this method will result in a  
the cappuccino looking too dark. It is also harder to get  
the ratio of coffee to milk right.  
You can only make coffee and froth at the same time if the  
steam system is set up for this. See "Settings: Steam  
system").  
^ To make the froth press on the steam valve a to connect  
the valve to the milk frother b.  
The steam valve must engage in the lower position in order  
to connect properly with the frother.  
The milk is frothed up by the hot steam, and then flows into  
the cup.  
^ Turn the dial on the milk frother clockwise as far as it will  
go. As soon as the milk runs smoothly into the cup, turn the  
dial anti-clockwise.  
This raises the temperature and also increases the amount  
of air in the milk. As soon as the milk begins to spatter,  
gradually turn the dial clockwise again until the spattering  
stops.  
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. Press it  
downwards again to reconnect it with the milk frother.  
^ When you have enough froth turn the steam valve back  
upwards again.

Setting the portion sizes  
The flavour of the coffee produced depends on the type of  
coffee, and the quantity of water used. Not all cups are the  
same size. To ensure the machine uses the right amount of  
water to suit your taste and your cups, you can programme in  
the amount to use.  
The coffee portion buttons are designed for the following  
types of coffee:  
The Espresso button dispenses a standard size espresso to  
be served in a standard espresso cup. The amount of water  
for espresso can be set between 30 and 75 ml.  
The Coffee button dispenses coffee for a standard size  
coffee cup. It uses the same quantity of coffee as an  
espresso, but adds more water. The amount of water can be  
set between 30 and 175 ml.  
With double espresso and double coffee two portions of  
espresso or coffee are dispensed one after the other. This  
requires two capsules and twice the amount of water as for a  
single portion.

Cleaning and care  
Always allow the machine to cool down before cleaning.  
Danger of scalding.  
Do not clean the machine with a steam cleaner as this will  
damage the machine.  
Never use cleaners containing chlorides, sand, soda or  
scouring agents. These would damage the surface.  
It is important to clean the machine regularly, as coffee  
remains will soon go mouldy.  
With the exception of the plastic grille and the capsule plate,  
all removable parts can be cleaned in a dishwasher. If the  
parts are cleaned frequently in a dishwasher, they can  
become discoloured from regular contact with food residues  
(e.g. tomatoes) in the dishwasher.  
Rinsing  
If you have set the automatic rinsing function to "off" because  
you do not want the machine to rinse the piping and brewing  
system automatically, you will need to rinse the system  
through manually. This needs to be done before making the  
first drink of the day and also after making the last drink of the  
day. Place a suitable container under the spout and the  
steam valve.  
The right-hand display will let you know whether  
the machine is set up for manual or automatic  
rinsing.

Cleaning and care  
The piping has now been rinsed through. You can now  
prepare drinks or switch off the machine.  
Water container  
Empty the water container daily and fill to the max. level with  
fresh, cold tap water just before use.  
Waste container  
Clean the waste container daily. Coffee remains can turn  
mouldy.  
There will probably also be residual 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.  
^ Clean inside the waste container compartment, especially  
at the top right and left-hand sides near the small windows  
(sensors). It is important to keep these sensors clean, as  
otherwise the machine will not recognise the waste  
container is present or that it requires emptying.  
^ 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.  
51  
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.  
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 pipework.  
^ Open the front of the machine.  
^ Remove the drip tray from the machine with care.  
There is a grid in the drip tray. This grid helps prevent the  
water from spilling out of the drip tray when it is being  
carried.  
^ 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.  
Make sure that the metal contact discs at the top of the  
drip tray are cleaned and dried properly. These contacts  
let the machine know when the drip tray is full or if it is not  
in the machine. They will not convey these messages if  
they are dirty or damp.  
^ Push the drip tray with the grid along the right-hand edge  
back into the machine.  
^ Close the front of the machine.  
52  
Cleaning and care  
Grille with drip tray cover  
^ Take the plastic grille and metal drip tray cover out and  
wash them.  
The plastic grille must only be washed by hand.  
Capsule magazine and magazine runners  
^ Pull the magazine runners a out as far as possible.  
^ Remove the capsule magazine b by pulling it upwards.  
53  
Cleaning and care  
^ Lift the magazine runners up at the front a little (1), and  
then pull them out completely (2).  
^ Clean the capsule magazine and magazine runners with  
hot water and a little washing-up liquid, or in the  
dishwasher, and dry with a cloth.  
^ Also clean the area under the magazine 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. Wipe everything dry with a soft cloth.  
^ To put the magazine runners back in, place them on the  
guide rails and push them into the machine until they click  
into position.  
^ Insert the capsule magazine. You do not have to position it  
in a particular way, as the machine will automatically guide  
it into position.  
^ Push the magazine runners with the capsule magazine fully  
back into the machine.  
54  
Cleaning and care  
Coffee outlet cover  
^ Open the front of the machine.  
^ Push up the cover in the middle of the machine front.  
^ Clean the cover with a mild solution of hot water and  
washing up liquid or in the dishwasher, then dry it. Also  
clean the inside of the machine front with a mild solution of  
hot water and washing-up liquid and dry it.  
^ Push the cover back onto the coffee outlet. Make sure that  
the cover sits correctly on the outlet.  
Interior  
^ First take out all removable parts and then clean the interior  
with a mild solution of hot water and washing-up liquid.  
Capsule plate  
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. Cleaning tablets are available from your Miele  
Dealer or from the Miele Spare Parts Department.  
55  
Cleaning and care  
^ Press on the ribbed position a, and pull the capsule plate  
b forwards to remove it.  
^ Fill a small container with hot water and dissolve one  
cleaning tablet in it.  
^ Then place the capsule plate in the container and leave for  
approx. 1 hour.  
^ Once the coffee remains have been removed, rinse it  
thoroughly and dry it.  
^ Push the capsule plate back into the machine. It must click  
into position.  
Steam valve  
The small rubber sleeve which connects the steam valve with  
the milk frother can be removed for cleaning. The sleeve and  
also the tip of the steam valve underneath the sleeve should  
be cleaned regularly.  
^ Push the steam valve down and pull the rubber sleeve off  
downwards.  
^ Use a mild solution of hot water and washing-up liquid to  
clean the rubber sleeve and the tip of the steam valve.  
56  
Cleaning and care  
^ Dry them and then put the sleeve back onto the tip of the  
steam valve. Make sure that the sleeve sits securely onto  
the tip.  
^ Push the steam valve back upwards.  
If you forget to push it back up it could break when you  
shut the machine front.  
Milk frother (cappuccinatore)  
The milk frother must be dismantled into several parts to  
clean it properly. It is very important to clean each one  
thoroughly as otherwise the froth will not be produced  
properly, if at all. All parts are dishwasher safe and should be  
cleaned every day. An insert is available for cleaning the  
cappuccinatore jug in a Miele dishwasher.  
^ Dismantle all the pieces and clean them. To remove the  
steam spout grip it securely top and bottom as shown and  
pull it off.  
57  
Cleaning and care  
^ Reassemble the lid as shown in the illustrations.  
Make sure that the cover is refitted correctly with the valve  
located above the milk frother handle. If this is not the  
case, the frother will not operate properly.  
Machine front  
^ Clean the front of the machine with a solution of hot water  
and washing-up liquid applied with a damp cloth. Wipe  
everything dry with a soft cloth.  
^ A microfibre E-Cloth is available from the Miele UK Spare  
Parts Department which is suitable for cleaning surfaces  
such as stainless steel, glass, plastic and chrome without  
the use of chemicals.  
Do not let water get behind the displays or the controls.  
58  
Cleaning and care  
Avoid the following on all types of front:  
– cleaning agents containing soda, acids or chlorides,  
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners and cream  
cleaners,  
– abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers or sponges which  
have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents.  
When descaling the machine wipe up any spillages of  
descaling agent immediately.  
To prevent the risk of scratches and damage to the  
surface structure of stainless steel and aluminium fronted  
machines, pay particular attention to the following  
cleaning instructions.  
Stainless steel fronts  
The appliance front is susceptible to scratches and abrasion.  
Please observe the different cleaning instructions for  
- stainless steel surfaces and  
- stainless steel coloured controls  
Stainless steel surfaces  
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned using a proprietary  
non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on  
stainless steel, or with the Miele E-Cloth.  
To help prevent re-soiling, a proprietary  
conditioning agent for stainless steel can also be  
used. Apply sparingly with an even pressure in  
the direction of the grain.  
Stainless steel coloured controls  
The controls may suffer discolouration or damage if soiling  
is left on them for too long. Remove any soiling straight  
away with a damp cloth.  
59  
Cleaning and care  
Aluminium fronts  
Aluminium is affected by the way that light falls on it, by the  
surrounding environment and by the angle you observe it  
from.  
Aluminium surfaces and controls may suffer discolouration  
or damage if soiling is left on them for too long. Remove  
any soiling straight away with a damp cloth.  
Warning: The surfaces and controls are susceptible to  
scratches and abrasion.  
Avoid:  
– stainless steel cleaners,  
– cleaning agents containing descaling agents,  
– diswasher detergent.  
Maintenance  
The capsule hopper in the brew unit needs to be replaced  
after about 15,000 cups of coffee. Replacement capsule  
hoppers are available from the Miele Spare Parts Dept.

Descaling the machine  
The machine should be descaled regularly to ensure that it  
functions correctly. It will remind you when this needs to be  
carried out.  
When you are at the stage where only 50 portions can be  
made before the next descaling programme has to be run the  
following message will appear in the right-hand display: "50  
no. of uses until descaling has to be done"  
This message will now appear after each drink has been  
made (coffee, espresso, steam, hot water). If you let it run to  
0 the machine will stop working and the Descale symbol k  
will appear highlighted in the left hand display. The right hand  
display will prompt you to start the descaling programme with  
the message "Confirm to start".  
You cannot make any more drinks until the descaling  
programme has been carried out.  
To descale the machine, you require descaling tablets and  
the coloured descaling funnel.  
You should only use the descaling tablets supplied with  
the machine. These have been specially formulated for  
use in this coffee machine. They are available from your  
Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department.  
Other types of descaling agents will damage the  
appliance and affect the taste.  
Follow the instructions on the package carefully to avoid  
damaging the machine.  
Make sure that you wipe up any spillages or splashes of  
descaling agent immediately to avoid damage to the  
machine front.  
After running the descaling programme, remember to  
clean the water container and the drip tray thoroughly to  
remove any descaling residues.

The descaling programme cannot be stopped once the  
right hand control dial has been pressed. The programme  
has to be completed through to the end. This is a safety  
measure to ensure that the machine is fully descaled, and  
is important to protect the machine and ensure it functions  
correctly.

you  
– to add descaling agent to the water container please  
take the water container out and fill it the the k mark with  
lukewarm water. (Do not use less water than this in the  
water container because this would cause the descaling  
programme to finish early and incorrectly.)  
Put 2 descaling tablets in the water. Allow the tablets to  
dissolve fully before shutting the lid and putting the water  
container back in the machine.  
– to use the waste container to collect the waste water, take  
it out of the machine and place it under the spout and the  
steam valve.

described in Cleaning and care.  
64  
Descaling the machine  
Put the coloured descaling funnel in its place.  
The descaling procedure will not start for another 5  
minutes or so. This time is needed to allow the descaling  
tablets to dissolve fully in the water. It will take longer than  
this to start if the appliance is too warm.  
During descaling a little water and descaling agent will run  
out of the coffee and steam spouts. This is followed by an  
activation period, before more descaling agent is drained out,  
and so on. A message will appear in the right-hand display  
letting you know approximately how long this procedure will  
take.  
^ When a message asking you to fill the water container  
with fresh water appears in the right-hand display, you  
should remove the container and rinse it out thoroughly with  
clean water. Make sure all traces of descaling agent are  
removed, and then fill it with clean drinking water.  
Empty the waste container at the same time.  
Water will flow out of both spouts during the rinsing process.  
The drip tray will need to be emptied several times during  
this process.  
When descaling is finished, Programme finished, open the  
door will appear in the display. Open the machine front and  
follow the instructions given in the right hand display.  
The machine will run another brief rinsing programme, and is

. . . you cannot create steam and coffee or espresso at the  
same time  
^ Has the steam heating system been switched off?  
If it has been switched off, you cannot dispense steam and  
coffee at the same time.  
70  
Problem solving guide  
. . . the steam system is switched off, but you can still  
make steam and coffee or espresso at the same time  
If the steam system is still hot you will be able to do both at  
the same time. Once it has cooled down again you will not be  
able to make steam and coffee at the same time.  
. . . the steam smells of rubber  
There will be a smell of rubber whilst the machine is still new.  
It will disappear with time.  
. . . there is no froth from the milk frother (cappuccinatore)  
^ Has the outlet been turned to the side so that froth can only  
be made in the milk frother?  
^ Are the valve and the spout in the lid correctly positioned?  
(See Cleaning and care).  
^ Are any components in the frother blocked up?  
. . . coffee preparation has been interrupted  
^ Have you selected a double espresso or a double coffee?  
The machine uses two capsules for double portions. If  
there was only one capsule left in the chamber the  
machine will not make the coffee.  
. . . there are coffee grounds in the coffee  
^ The capsule plate needs to be cleaned.  
. . . a message appears asking you to empty the drip tray  
even though it is empty  
^ Have the contacts been properly cleaned and dried?  
^ Is the drip tray securely located in the machine?  
^ Switch the machine off and then back on again.  
^ Buff the contacts a little, e.g. with fine sandpaper or emery  
cloth.  
^ If this fault message continues to appear, please call the  
Miele Service department.

Problem solving guide  
. . . the machine doesn’t rinse through when switched on,  
even though the rinse programme is set to "on".  
If the temperature of the machine above 60 °C, rinsing cannot  
take place.  
. . . water stopped flowing whilst programming in the  
amount to use  
Water flow stops automatically when the maximum fill quantity  
is reached. The maximum quantity is stored in memory.  
There is insufficient water in the water container. The quantity  
used previously was not saved to memory.  
. . . the preparation time and the maximum fill quantity of  
the coffee varies considerably  
The coffee grind varies depending on type of coffee. Different  
producers may also use different grinds for the same type of  
coffee. For this reason the preparation times and maximum fill  
quantities can vary.  
. . . the espresso or coffee is not hot enough  
^ Have the cups been pre-warmed?  
The smaller and thicker the cup, the more important it is to  
pre-warm it.  
^ Check whether the capsule plate is dirty. Clean the capsule  
plate.  
. . . the coffee is too weak  
^ Make sure the amount of water programmed is not too  
much for the coffee.  
^ Check to see how many coffees have already been  
dispensed.  
If the amount of water is correct and 15,000 coffees have  
already been dispensed you will need to replace the  
capsule hopper in the brew unit. See "Cleaning and Care:  
Maintenance".  
72  
Problem solving guide  
. . . there is water in the waste container  
This is not a fault. The water is left over from the brewing and  
cleaning process.  
. . . there is residual "coffee water" in the waste container  
The capsule plate is not correctly pushed in.  
^ Remove the capsule plate and replace it.  
. . . the descaling process was started by mistake?  
The descaling programme cannot be cancelled once you  
have pressed the right hand dial. The programme has to be  
completed through to the end. This is a safety measure to  
ensure that the machine is fully descaled, and is important  
for protecting the machine and to ensure it functions  
correctly.  
. . . the heating-up time is getting longer, the amount of  
water coming through is incorrect and the machine is not  
performing properly  
The machine needs descaling.  
. . . the error message F 10 appears  
Water has not been taken in.  
^ Perhaps the system was not filled with water before the first  
drink was made. Fill the system with water as described in  
"Making coffee: Filling the system with water".  
^ Or the water container has not been correctly positioned  
inside the machine. Remove the water container and push  
it back into position again, making sure it engages  
correctly.  
^ This error message also appears if the water container was  
not correctly filled for descaling. Fill the container to the

more hot milk.  
Cappuccino scuro is a "dark"  
cappuccino with more espresso and

contains oils which are rich in flavour  
and aroma, and helps to keep the  
espresso warm.  
Caffè freddo is a long espresso with

Cappuccino is espresso with frothed  
milk. It is served in a ceramic cup with  
one third espresso, one third hot milk  
and one third froth. To obtain a good  
froth, the milk should be cold and made  
in a cold container.  
Macchiato is espresso with a tiny shot  
of hot, frothed milk which gives it a  
dappled (macchiato) appearance.

Glossary  
Pressure is important as it releases the  
suspended particles in the coffee which  
give it its aroma. If the pressure is too  
low, the aroma cannot develop fully. If it  
is too high, it releases tannin and a  
bitter flavour. Pressure is also important  
for creating the crema.  
Pre-warming the cups prevents the  
espresso from cooling too quickly.  
Roasting is very important for the  
flavour and caffeine content of the  
espresso. Roasting releases the  
ethereal oils which create the aroma  
and flavour. A darker roasting gives a  
more concentrated aroma, but burns off  
more caffeine. So the darker the roast,  
the lower the caffeine content. Lightly  
roasted beans have a more acidic  
flavour, and dark roasted beans taste  
more bitter.  
The caffeine content of espresso is  
only a third or a half the caffeine  
normally found in coffee. The darker the  
roast, the less caffeine the espresso will  
contain.  
Water hardness can affect the flavour  
of the espresso.
