Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
A damaged coffee machine could be dangerous. Before building
~
in the machine, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not
use a damaged machine.
Before connecting the machine to the mains supply, make sure
~
the connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate
corresponds to the household supply. Consult a qualified electrician
if in any doubt.
The electrical safety of this machine can only be guaranteed if
~
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.
Do not connect the machine to the mains electrical supply by a
~
multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These are a fire hazard
and do not guarantee the required safety of the machine.
For safety reasons, this machine may only be used when it has
~
been built in.
If the coffee machine is to be built in above another appliance,
~
there must be a full-width, closed shelf between them.
The coffee machine must not be used in a non-stationary location
~
(e.g. on a ship).
Only use the coffee machine in rooms where the ambient
~
temperature is between +10 °C and +38 °C.

Warning and Safety instructions
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation around the coffee
~
machine. Otherwise condensation can build up and damage the
machine and / or the housing unit.
If the coffee machine is installed behind a kitchen furniture door,
~
it may only be used with the furniture door open. Do not close the
furniture door while the coffee machine is in use.
Repairs may only be carried out by a Miele authorised service
~
technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons can
cause considerable danger to users. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for unauthorised work.
While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs should only be
~
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
guarantee is invalidated.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the machine when original
~
Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts.
The machine must be disconnected from the electrical supply
~
during installation or repair work.
Do not open the outer casing of the machine. Tampering with

Warning and Safety instructions
Please note the following regarding water:
~
– Only use cold, fresh tap water to fill the water container. Warm or
hot water or other liquids could damage the machine.
– Change the water every day to prevent a build-up of bacteria.
– Do not use mineral water. Mineral water will cause serious
limescale 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.
Do not put anything other than Nespresso coffee capsules in the
~
capsule carousel. Other manufacturers' capsules etc. would
damage the machine.
The coffee capsules must be intact before use. Do not use coffee
~
capsules which are damaged, broken or dented. These could
become jammed in the machine and damage it.
Do not use milk with additives. Sugar additives will stick to the
~
milk pipework and damage the coffee machine and the
cappuccinatore.
If using animal milk, use only pasteurised milk.
~
Never place a drink with ignited alcohol under the central spout of
~
the coffee machine. The flames could ignite plastic components
and cause fire damage.
Do not swing from or hang anything on the machine front when it
~
is open as this could damage the machine.
