lid until it clicks into place.
^ Place the milk flask on the right hand
side of the coffee system.
^ Connect the other end of the milk
tube to the cappuccinatore.
Caution! The cappuccinatore will
become hot - danger of burns.
^ Insert the stainless steel suction tube
to the inside the lid. Be sure that the
slanted end is pointed downwards
(as shown).
^ Fill the milk flask up to a maximum of

Descaling
Due to lime scale buildup the coffee
system must be descaled regularly.
If the coffee system is hot, it will need to
cool down for approx. 10 minutes
How often, depends on the hardness of before the descaling program can

Descaling solution
^ Confirm the message with OK.
Only use the enclosed descaling
tablets for descaling. They are
specially developed for the coffee
system to optimize the descaling.
The descaling tablets can be
purchased from Miele.
When 0 is reached the coffee system
will lock. START THE DESCALING will
appear in the display.
The descaling program must now be
performed. The program takes approx.
20 minutes.
Other agents may damage the
machine and affect the taste of
coffee and hot water.
The coffee system can be turned off if
you do not wish to perform the
descaling program right now.
Regardless no more drinks will be
prepared until the descale program is
complete.
The machine could also be
damaged.
Follow the instructions on the
descaling agent packaging closely.
Be sure to fill the water container
with enough water, using too little
water can cause the descaling
program to be stopped prematurely.
The display will guide you through the
descaling procedure.
During the descaling program, water
and descaling agent will run out of the
steam and hot water spouts. This will
be followed by a brief pause, then more
agent will run from the machine.
One descaling tablet will be needed to
descale this machine.
^ Press the OK button to start the
descaling program.
^ Fill the water container to the "0.5 l"
mark with lukewarm water.

Energy saving mode
Eco-Mode
Turning off
When using Eco Mode the coffee
system will save energy.
If the machine will not be used for an
extended period of time, turn it off using
the main switch at the back of the
machine.
The coffee system will switch to Eco
mode if it has not been used to prepare
a drink in some time. When in Eco
mode the heat function is not on
constantly, therefore reducing energy
usage.
The coffee system will heat up again
when a drink is selected.
Pre-warming the cups with hot water
If you only need to pre-heat cups
occasionally, the cup warming surface
can be turned off.
Hot water from the cappuccinatore can
be used to pre-heat the cups instead.
57
Transport
If the coffee machine will not be used
for an extended period of time,
e.g. vacation, or will be transported
over a long distance, the machine
should be prepared in the following
ways:

container
– Empty and clean the water tank
– Evaporate the machine
^ When the display goes out, the
evaporation process is complete.
– Clean the drip tray and waste
container
^ Turn the machine off using the main
switch.
– Pack the machine securely
^ Clean the drip tray and waste
container.
Only pack the machine in a clean,
dry environment. Coffee, milk and
water residues can cause bacteria.
The coffee system is now ready to be
packed.
When you are ready to use the coffee
system again it will need to be filled
with water (see, "First steps to use").
Evaporating the coffee system
The coffee system should be
evaporated if being stored for a long
period of time or transported any
distance.
Packing
Only pack the machine in a clean,
dry environment. Coffee, milk and
water residues can cause bacteria.
Evaporating the machine will remove all
traces of water from the system,
preventing water and frost damage.
Use the original packaging including
styrofoam to pack the coffee system.
Keep the Operating Instruction manual
in the box for future reference.
^ Turn the coffee machine Off using the
- button.
^ Empty the water tank.
TIP Place a suitable container, such as
a coffee cup under the cappuccinatore.

be biodegradable and recyclable.
Please recycle.
Old appliances may contain materials
that can be recycled. Please contact
your local recycling authority about the
possibility of recycling these materials.
Ensure that the appliance presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal. Before discarding an old
appliance, unplug it from the outlet, cut
off its power cord and remove any
doors to prevent hazards.

in doubt, consult a licensed electrician.
The data plate can be found behind the
drip tray inside the coffee system.
Do not connect the appliance to energy
saving plugs or outlets. The reduction
of power to the appliance caused by
these devices will cause the appliance
to run hot and may damage it and/or
shorten its usable life.
The plug will fit in the outlet only one
way. If it does not fit, DO NOT use force
and DO NOT modify the plug in any
way. Contact a qualified electrician.
Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug. Contact Miele
Technical Service.
The socket should be located next to
the machine and be easily accessible.
If the appliance is connected to the
electrical supply with an extension cord
please note:
If there is any question concerning
the electrical connection of this
appliance to your power supply,
please consult a licensed electrician
or contact Miele’s Technical Service
Department. See back page for
contact information.
– A short power-supply cord is to be
provided to reduce risks resulting
from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
– Always use care and exercise
caution with using an extension cord.
WARNING:
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
GROUNDED
– The marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the
appliance.
– The extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord.

Installation
If the coffee machine is installed in a
niche, the minimum dimensions of the
niche are:
Danger of overheating!
Ensure that there is sufficient
ventilation around the coffee system.
Be sure the vents at the top of the

Danger of overheating. If the coffee
system is installed behind a cabinet
door, it may only be used with the
door open. Do not close the cabinet
door while the coffee system is in
use.
^ Position the coffee machine so that
the front edge lines up with the front
edge of the niche.
– Install the coffee system in a dry, well
ventilated room.
– The ambient temperature should be
between 50°F (10°C) and 90°F
(32°C).
– The coffee machine should be
installed on a water resistant,
horizontal surface.
– Be sure the vents at the top of the
machine are not covered completely,
e.g. with a dish towel.
