IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Technical safety
Before installing the coffee system, check for externally visible damage. If the coffee system is damaged, it may pose a safety hazard and must not be used under any circumstances. Before connecting the coffee system, check the voltage and frequency indicated on the data plate against the voltage and frequency of the household electrical supply. This data must correspond in order to prevent damage to the coffee system. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician. Do not connect the machine to the electrical supply using an extension cord or power bar. The coffee machine may not be used in mobile installations such as ships. Unplug the coffee machine from the power supply immediately if you notice any damage or smell burning. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment. Ensure that the power cord will not be pinched or damaged by any sharp edges. The power cord should not hang down. Someone could trip over it with the risk of injury and the appliance could be damaged. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven. Only use the coffee system in rooms where the ambient temperature is between +60°F (16°C) and +100°F (38°C). Do not place the coffee machine near a window in direct sunlight or right next to an appliance that gives off heat. This would subject the machine to ambient temperatures outside of its permitted range.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Proper use
Danger of burning and scalding at the dispensers. The liquids and steam dispensed are very hot. Keep away from the area underneath the dispensers when hot liquids and steam are being dispensed. Do not touch hot components. Hot liquid or steam could spatter from the spouts. Ensure that the central spout is clean and installed correctly. Water in the drip tray can also be very hot. Take care when emptying it.
Risk of injury to the eyes! Never look at the lighting directly or using optical instruments (e.g. magnifying glass).
Please note the following regarding water: – The water quality must conform to the requirements for drinking
water in the country in which the coffee machine is being used. – Only use cold, fresh tap water to fill the water container. Hot or
warm water or other liquids can damage the coffee machine. – Change the water every day to prevent a build-up of bacteria. – Do not use sparkling water. Only fill the bean container with roasted espresso or coffee beans. Do not fill the bean container with coffee beans that have been treated with additives or with ground coffee. Do not pour liquids into the bean container. Do not use green (unroasted) coffee beans or mixtures of coffee beans which contain green coffee beans. Green coffee beans are very hard and still contain residual moisture. These can damage the coffee machine grinder as soon as grinding begins. Do not use oily beans or beans that have been treated with caramel, sugar, or other substances. Sugar and oil will damage the coffee system. Only fill the coffee chute with ground coffee beans.
12

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use any flavored ground coffee. The sugar in the coffee will stick to and block the brew unit of the coffee system. The cleaning tablets for degreasing the brew unit will not remove this type of deposit. If decaffeinated coffee beans are used after dispensing a drink with caffeinated beans, there may still be residues from the caffeinated beans in the grinder or brew chamber. Discard the first coffee drink when using decaffeinated coffee. Only use plain milk. Most sugary additives can clog the milk lines and damage the machine. If using dairy milk make sure that it has been pasteurized. When making tea, please follow the instructions on the tea packaging. Do not place flaming alcohol mixtures underneath the central spout. The flames could ignite plastic components and cause them to melt. Do not use open flames, such as a candle, on or near the coffee machine. The coffee machine could catch fire with the risk of the fire spreading. Do not use the coffee system to clean objects.

Before first use

31

The bean system

Coffee or espresso can be made from whole roasted coffee beans which are freshly ground for each cup. Your coffee machine has a bean system with three bean containers which can be filled with different types of beans or even just one type. You can allocate bean types to individual coffee drinks as you wish. Alternatively, you can create profiles with your own coffee drinks and allocate other bean types to these drinks which are different to the standard Miele profiles. Alternatively, you can make coffee drinks with ready ground coffee (see “Making coffee drinks with ground coffee” in the “Making coffee” chapter).
Risk of damage to the grinder
due to incorrect operation. The coffee machine will be damaged if the bean container is filled with unsuitable substances such as liquids, ground coffee, or coffee beans treated with sugar, caramel, or similar. In addition, green (unroasted) coffee beans or mixtures of coffee beans which contain green coffee beans can damage the grinder. Green coffee beans are very hard and still contain residual moisture. These can damage the coffee machine grinder as soon as grinding begins. Only put roasted coffee beans in the bean container.

Tip: You can use a nut or seed grinder to grind green coffee beans. These grinders generally have a rotating stainless-steel blade. You can then add the ground green coffee one portion at a time to the ground coffee chute and make the desired coffee drink (see “Making coffee drinks with ground coffee” in the “Making coffee” chapter).
If decaffeinated coffee beans are used after dispensing a drink with caffeinated beans, there may still be residues from the caffeinated beans in the grinder or brew chamber. Please be aware that minimal residues of caffeine may be present in the next drink that you make.
Changing the bean system settings (Type of beans)
The Drinks menu is displayed. Tap . Tap Settings . Tap Type of beans. Select a type of beans. You can now change the name or allocation. Tip: If you want to allocate another type of bean to a coffee drink, you can also do this under Change parameters (see “Parameters ­ Type of beans”).

32

The bean system

Renaming bean types The 3 bean containers are shown in the display as follows and are pre-named.

Type A Type C

Type B

If you rename the bean containers, please note the following: – Choose concise names
(max. 8 characters). – If you are using the same type of
beans in two or three bean containers at the same time (for instance because you only use one bean type), make sure you name them in the exact same way.
Tap Change name. The Editor will open in the display. Enter the name you want and then
tap Save.
If you labelled two coffee bean containers with the same name and decide to change the name of one of them at a later point, you have to allocate coffee drinks to the more recently labelled bean container in order to use the new coffee bean type. Otherwise it will default to using the coffee beans from the container that remains with the initial name.

Changing bean type allocation
If you have created additional profiles with coffee drinks to the Miele standard profile, the type of beans can be individually allocated to individual drinks in each profile.
Tap Change allocation. If you have set up one or more profiles and saved at least one coffee drink, first select the profile. Select the profile for which you want
to allocate the type of beans. All coffee drinks will be listed. The already allocated drinks will be indicated by a . Change the allocation as required. Tap OK to confirm. Tip: If you tap All, you will highlight all coffee drinks and you can deselect the ones you do not want.
If you do not allocate a type of bean, you will be asked what type of bean you want to use for the coffee as you make it.

33

Filling the water tank
Risk to health due to
contaminated water. Bacteria can develop in water which has been sitting in the water container for too long and is a risk to your health. Change the water in the water container every day.
Risk of damage due to incorrect
operation. Unsuitable liquids such as hot or warm water or other liquids can damage the coffee machine. Carbonated water leaves too much limescale in the coffee machine. Only use cold, fresh tap water to fill the water container.

If the water container is not inserted correctly (e.g., sits too high or at an angle), water can leak from the dispenser valve. Check whether the surface that the water container sits on is dirty. If necessary, clean the surface that the water container sits on.

Open the lid on the left-hand side of the coffee machine.

Preparing beverages

Coffee Danger of burning and scalding at
the dispensers. The liquids and steam dispensed are very hot and can cause scalding. Keep away from the area underneath the dispensers when hot liquids and steam are being dispensed. Do not touch hot components.
Coffee drinks in detail You can use the coffee machine to prepare the following coffee-based drinks: – Café au lait is an espresso with some
hot milk. – Caffè Americano consists of equal
proportions of espresso and hot water. The espresso is made first, then the hot water is dispensed. – Caffè Latte consists of coffee and hot milk. – Cappuccino consists of approx. 2 thirds milk froth and 1 third espresso. – Cappuccino Italiano has the same proportions of milk froth and espresso as a cappuccino. The difference is that the espresso is added first and then the milk froth. – Espresso is a strong aromatic coffee with a thick hazelnut-brown colored froth ­ known as the crema ­ on top. We recommend using espressoroasted coffee beans to make an espresso.
38

– Espresso macchiato is an espresso with a small amount of milk froth on top. Select a cup which can hold at least 1/2 cup (3.5 oz) for this drink.
– Flat white is a large cappuccino: lots of espresso with plenty of milk froth.
– Coffee differs from espresso by the increased amount of water and the roast of the beans. We recommend using coffee beans of the correct roast to make the coffee.
– Long Coffee is a coffee with significantly more water.
– Latte macchiato consists of 1 third each of hot milk, milk froth, and espresso.
– Long black is made with hot water and two shots of espresso.
– Ristretto is a concentrated, stronger espresso. It is prepared with the same amount of coffee as for an espresso but with a lot less water.
Hot milk and milk froth can also be made.
The milk
Cow’s milk or alternative plant-based dairy products (e.g., soy milk) containing added sugar can clog up the milk pipework and any other parts that carry milk. Residues from unsuitable liquids can interfere with milk preparation. The milk used must not contain any additives.
Dairy milk naturally contains bacteria. If using dairy milk, make sure that it has been pasteurized, e.g., pasteurized cow’s milk.

Preparing beverages

You can prepare hot milk and milk froth using cow’s milk or alternative plantbased dairy products. Once the appliance has heated up, the milk will be drawn up into the central spout where it is heated by steam and also frothed for drinks requiring milk froth. However, the consistency of the milk froth will vary greatly depending on the type of milk used. Not all types of milk are suitable for milk froth. Tip: Using cold cow’s milk (< 50°F/ 10°C) with a protein content of at least 3% will produce the perfect milk froth. You can select milk with a fat content according to your personal preference. With whole milk (at least 3.5% fat), the milk froth will be slightly creamier than with low-fat milk.
Alternative plant-based dairy products ­ hereafter referred to as “alternative dairy products” ­ contain different ingredients than cow’s milk, for example. Due to natural settling, dairy products tend to thicken. When preparing hot milk or milk froth, this thicker consistency can prevent the alternative dairy products from being drawn into the milk pipework. Stir alternative dairy products well immediately before preparation. Do not shake alternative dairy products. Shaking causes foam to form in the packaging and impairs the preparation process.
Tip: Rinse the milk pipework manually immediately after preparation.

Preparing the milk flask
Milk is not cooled in the milk flask. Milk may spoil if it is left in the milk flask for an extended period without being cooled (depending on the type of milk). In particular, do not leave cow’s milk in the milk flask for an extended period without cooling it. Please follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding the shelf life of the milk used.
If you have not made any milk drinks for a while, rinse the milk pipework thoroughly before making the first drink.
Insert the connecting piece into the lid from above until everything sits flush.
Connect the stainless steel tube to the inside of the lid. Make sure that the slanted end of the stainless steel tube is pointing downward.
If you use alternative dairy products, make sure that you stir it well. To ensure the best preparation, alternative dairy products must be stirred and not shaken.
Fill the milk flask with milk up to a maximum of 3/4″ (2 cm) below the rim.
Tip: For high-quality milk froth, always use cold milk (< 50°F/10°C). Seal the milk flask with the lid.

Preparing beverages

Place the milk flask next to the coffee machine.
Connect the milk pipework to the milk flask lid.
Connect the milk flask to the coffee machine by attaching the milk pipework to the aperture in the central spout.
Tip: The milk pipe is easier to insert with the central spout in the maintenance position. Touch the sensor for 3 seconds.

Connect the connecting piece to the milk siphon.
Connect the milk pipework to the connecting piece.

Using a milk carton with the milk siphon

If you have not made any milk drinks for a while, rinse the milk pipework thoroughly before making the first drink.
The milk siphon enables you to prepare milk directly from milk cartons or other suitable containers. The milk siphon is made up of the connecting piece and a long stainless steel tube. Tip: For high-quality milk froth, always use cold milk (< 50°F/10°C).

If you use alternative dairy products, make sure that you stir the milk well. To ensure the best preparation, the milk must be stirred and not shaken.
Place the milk carton next to the coffee machine.
Dip the milk siphon into the milk. Connect the milk pipework to the
aperture in the central spout.
Tip: The milk pipe is easier to insert with the central spout in the maintenance position. Touch the sensor for 3 seconds.

Tea
This appliance is not intended for commercial or scientific purposes. Temperatures given are approximate and can vary depending on the ambient conditions.
When making tea, you can select from the following options: – green tea approx. 175°F (80°C) – herbal tea approx. 195°F (90°C) – fruit tea approx. 195°F (90°C) – black tea approx. 195°F (90°C) The type of tea determines the preset temperature for the spout. The respective dispensing temperatures

are recommended by Miele for making black tea, green tea, herbal tea, or fruit tea.
Follow the instructions for making tea on the tea packaging.
The taste of the tea will be affected by the type of water used. Water should be as soft as possible to allow the aroma to develop. Whether you use loose tea leaves, blended tea, or tea bags depends on your own personal preference. The amount of tea and the brewing time will vary depending on the type of tea. Always follow the recommendations of the manufacturer on the packaging or of the retailer. The amount of hot water used can be adjusted depending on the type of tea and the size of the cup (see “Portion size”). Tip: Store the tea in a dark and dry place in tightly sealed containers. It is best to buy smaller amounts to prevent loss of aroma.
TeaTimer You can use the TeaTimer to start a timer when making tea. A brewing time of 2 minutes is preset as standard. You can adjust the preset brewing time according to your preferences (between 1:00 and 23:59 minutes). The TeaTimer can be started twice consecutively.

Parameters

You can individually adjust the following parameters for each drink: – amount of coffee – brewing temperature – pre-brewing – type of beans
changing drink parameters The Drinks menu is displayed. Select Edit. Tap Change drink. Select a drink. Now you can adjust the portion size (see “Portion size”) or set the drink parameters. Tap Drink parameters. Select Amount of coffee, Brew
temperature, Pre-brewing, or Type of beans. Select the desired setting. Confirm with OK. The overview of the drink parameters will appear in the display. Touch OK again to save your changed settings.
Amount of coffee
The coffee machine can grind and brew 7.5­12.5 g of coffee beans per cup. The greater the amount, the stronger the coffee. The amount of coffee is too low if the espresso or coffee lacks body. Increase the amount of coffee to brew more ground coffee. The amount of coffee is too high if the espresso or coffee tastes bitter. Decrease the amount of coffee to brew less ground coffee.
46

Brewing temperature for coffee drinks
The brewing temperature must be adapted to the roast of the beans you are using. This is crucial whether you are making espresso or coffee. Several types are sensitive to high brewing temperatures, resulting in an impaired taste. If your coffee tastes bitter, the brewing temperature you have selected might be too high. Espresso is usually brewed at higher temperatures.
Pre-brewing ground coffee
When the pre-brewing function is turned on, the ground coffee is first moistened with a little hot water. The ground coffee swells a little. Then the remaining water is forced through the moistened coffee at high pressure. If your coffee tastes too bland and you want too add some spice and richness, try the “Pre-brewing” function. Depending on the type of coffee used, pre-brewing can intensify the taste. You can set a short or long duration for pre-brewing or turn the “Pre-brewing” function off completely. Tip: It is particularly recommended to use the “Pre-brewing” function to make coffee.
Bean type
You can display which type of bean is saved for the coffee drink or change the allocation.

Grinder setting

The grinder setting determines the contact time between the ground coffee and the water, known as the extraction time. Only when the ideal grinder setting is selected can the appliance dispense a perfect cup of coffee with a fine, hazelnut-brown crema.

Identifying the ideal grinder setting
There are various ways to tell whether the coffee grinder is set correctly. The coffee has been too coarsely ground if: – The espresso or coffee flows into the
cup very quickly. – The espresso or coffee tastes sour. – The crema is very pale and uneven.
The coffee has been too finely ground if: – The espresso or coffee flows into the
cup very slowly. – The espresso or coffee tastes too
bitter. – The crema is dark brown.
Adjusting the grinder setting

Push the slide control a maximum of one setting to the left (for finer grinding) or to the right (for coarser grinding).
The grinder setting you select will be used for all types of beans and coffee drinks. Close the appliance door. Make one cup of coffee. Now you can adjust the grinder setting again.
The grinder will naturally wear out slightly over time. Set the grinder to a finer setting if necessary.

If the grinder setting is adjusted by more than one level, the grinder may be damaged. Only adjust the grinder one setting at a time. Each time you adjust the setting, start making a new drink so that the beans are ground. Adjust the grinder setting one setting at a time again.

The slide control for adjusting the grinder setting is located on the top right behind the appliance door. Open the appliance door.

47

Portion size

The flavor of the coffee produced depends not only on the type of coffee, but also on the amount of water used. You can program the amount of water for all coffee drinks, hot water, and types of tea to suit the size of your cups and to suit the type of coffee you are using. This does not alter the amount of coffee used. For coffee drinks with milk you can also set the amount of milk or milk froth to suit your personal taste. You can also set the portion sizes for hot milk and milk froth.
The changed portion size is always saved in the current profile. The name of the current profile is shown in the top left of the display.

When the cup is filled up to the level you want, confirm with Save.
If the maximum amount is reached, preparation stops and the maximum possible amount is saved. If you want to change the portion size for coffee drinks made with milk or hot water, the ingredients which make up the drink will be saved one after the other while the drink is being made. The programmed mix of ingredients and the portion size will now be dispensed every time that particular drink is selected.

If the water container becomes empty while making a drink, the machine will stop programming the portion size. The portion size will not be saved.

Water hardness
If a descaling cartridge is not installed and you descale the coffee machine using descaling tablets, the machine should be set to the local water hardness. A prompt to descale the machine will then appear in the display at the correct time.
Program the coffee machine to the water hardness level of your area so that it functions correctly and does not get damaged. Your local water authority will be able to tell you the hardness of the water in your area. If you are using bottled drinking water, e.g., mineral water, select settings according to the calcium content. The calcium content is given on the label of the bottle in mg/l Ca2+ or ppm (mg Ca2+/ l).
Do not use carbonated water.

Tip: If your water hardness is > 22 gpg (21°dH), we recommend using bottled drinking water instead (< 150 mg/ l Ca2+). This will mean your coffee machine will need to be descaled less often and there will be less impact on the environment because less descaling agent will be used. The water hardness level is set to 3 at the factory. The machine has four programmable hardness levels:

°dH gr/gal 0­ 0 ­ 8.7 8.4

ppm (mg /l CaCO3) 0­150

77

Automatic descaling

Risk of damage from splashes from the descaling solution. Sensitive surfaces and/or natural floors can suffer damage. Wipe up any spillages of descaling solution. When handling a cartridge which has already been filled with water, ensure that the descaling solution does not come into contact with sensitive surfaces.
The coffee machine has an automatic maintenance program for descaling the machine. For automatic descaling, a Miele Descaling Cartridge needs to be installed at the back of the coffee machine. The coffee machine will automatically determine when to carry out automatic descaling based on the usage pattern. Automatic descaling takes approx. 30 minutes, including the activation time. You can set the time for daily descaling to start using the Descaling timer. Water is mixed with the descaling agent to create a solution for automatic descaling. This descaling solution is then pumped through the pipework of the coffee machine. After the activation time the solution is then rinsed out of the pipework and the machine can then be used as normal for making drinks. During automatic descaling you will hear pumping and rinsing noises at frequent intervals even though the machine is switched off and the display is dark. If you do not make any drinks, automatic descaling will not be started.

To ensure the service life of components and an environment that is consistently free of limescale, the coffee machine needs to be manually descaled from time to time. The intervals are determined by your usage behavior and the water hardness level of your area. If you make a lot of coffees with milk, for example, you will need to descale the coffee machine more frequently with the descaling tablets.
What you need to note before and during automatic descaling:
The coffee machine must be ready to use and the following conditions must be met: – A descaling cartridge which is ready to
use is installed. – The coffee machine is connected to
the power supply. The coffee machine must not be disconnected from the electricity supply during automatic descaling. – The drip tray, brew unit, and central spout are inserted. – The water container is inserted and is filled with water at least up to the descaling symbol (at least 500 mL water). – Carry out the instructions which appear in the display before switching off, e.g., Empty the drip tray. – The milk pipework is inserted into the aperture in the drip tray cover. – The coffee machine is switched off.

78

Automatic descaling

The Miele Descaling Cartridge
Only use the Miele Descaling Cartridge for the automatic descaling program. Please note that the Miele Descaling Cartridge has a service life of approx. 1 year after it has been placed in the coffee machine and filled with water for the first time. The date on which the descaling cartridge was installed and filled with water determines the one-year service life. Do not install a descaling cartridge which has already been used in another Miele Coffee Machine. Your coffee machine will have no information about the fill level of this cartridge. The descaling effect may be insufficient and damage your coffee machine. Do not fill the descaling cartridge with other fluids or substances.
The descaling agent comes in the form of tablets in the descaling cartridge. The cartridge is filled with water when it is placed in the coffee machine. The tablets gradually dissolve over time. The Miele Descaling Cartridge will last for 7 to 12 months of automatic descaling, depending on how often the coffee machine is used. A prompt will appear in the display shortly before the cartridge is depleted, reminding you that it needs to be replaced. Confirm the message with OK. After this first message, 6 more descaling programs are possible. The Miele Descaling Cartridge is available to order from the Miele online shop, from Miele Customer Service, or from your Miele dealer.

If a descaling cartridge is not installed, an empty cartridge is installed, or an expired cartridge is installed, the coffee machine needs to be descaled using the Descale the appliance maintenance program. To do this, the appropriate descaling agent is required (see “Descaling the machine” in “Cleaning and care”).
The descaling cartridge can remain installed even if the machine is not used for a long time. Remove the cartridge before transporting the coffee machine. However, please note the following: – Once filled with water, the descaling
cartridge has a maximum shelf life of max. 3 weeks outside of the coffee machine. – The descaling cartridge should be transported with care and upright. Avoid shaking it. Shaking or turning upside down reduces the service life or damages the cartridge. – The cartridge should be stored upright, in a dark place, and at room temperature (61­100°F (16­38°C)).
