unit with a cleaning tablet after approx.  
200 coffees. (A reminder will appear in  
the display).  
Used coffee grounds should be put  
with the organic rubbish or on the  
compost heap, but not emptied down  
the sink, as they could block it.  
Never swing from or hang anything  
on the front when it is open as this  
could damage the machine.

Brief description  
This machine can be used to prepare  
espresso, coffee, cappuccino, milk  
froth and hot water .  
If two cups of coffee or espresso are  
required at the same time, the sensor  
next to "2 portions" must be pressed  
twice briefly. The machine will fill the  
cups in two stages with a slight pause  
in between.  
This machine has a container for coffee  
beans so that they can be freshly  
ground on demand for every cup to  
benefit fully from the flavour.  
The machine can be programmed to  
grind from 6 to 14 g of coffee,  
depending on the type. The  
programmed amount of coffee will be  
the same for all sizes of cup (espresso,  
coffee, cappucino).  
The ground coffee can also be  
moistened with hot water  
(Pre-brewing), to develop the aroma.  
Then hot water is forced at high  
pressure through the ground coffee.  
The fineness to which the coffee is  
ground can be adjusted.  
If the machine is used by various  
people with different tastes and  
preferences, you can programme  
specific settings for up to ten  
individual users (User profiles).  
The lighting can be switched on  
independently of operation. The upper  
and lower lighting can also be dimmed  
independently of one another.  
You can also add a portion of ready  
ground coffee should someone prefer  
a cup of decaffinated coffee, for  
example.  
For safety reasons, the electricity  
supply to the brewing system and the  
coffee grinder cuts out when the  
machine door is opened. The machine  
also features a system lock to prevent  
children from operating it.  
To prevent water from remaining in the  
pipes, any water left is expelled,  
resulting in a little trickle after the coffee  
has been dispensed. The coffee is then The easy to use programming facility  
ready.  
allows, amongst other things, the  
language in the display to be changed  
and the water hardness to be  
programmed in.  
The used coffee grounds are  
automatically emptied into the waste  
container. There is no need to remove  
the grounds manually after each cup.  
The size of cup can be programmed 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  
"+ C".

Brief description  
To ensure that the flavour can develop  
fully and be maintained for longer the  
machine has an additional function to  
automatically rinse and pre-warm the  
system when the machine is cold. The  
same function is used to flush coffee  
remains out of the system and the  
spouts after use.  
The hot water from the hot water spout  
is ideal for pre-warming the cups.  
So that the machine remains ready for  
use but does not use electricity  
unnecessarily, it will switch into Energy  
saving mode after a certain length of  
time.  
You can also programme the machine  
to switch on and off at a particular  
time every day.

Adding water, coffee beans or ground coffee  
Please clean the machine thoroughly before filling it (see  
"Cleaning and care").  
Filling and emptying the water container  
The quality of the water plays an important part in  
the overall quality of the coffee. If the machine is  
plumbed into the mains drinking water supply, the  
water container will fill automatically. Empty out the water  
container every day. To remind you to do this the following  
message will appear in the display when you switch the  
machine on: Please empty the water container.  
If filling the water container manually (instead of using the  
plumbed in water supply), do not use hot water or other  
liquids as these could damage the machine. Only use  
cold, clean tap 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 machine door.  
^ Pull the water container forwards to remove it.

not hear it click into position or the water container  
protrudes slightly or does not sit flat on the floor, check  
whether the surface that the water container sits on is dirty  
and clean it if necessary.  
Filling the coffee bean container  
Only put roasted espresso or coffee beans in the  
container. Anything else, including ground coffee, will  
damage the grinder.  
Do not use coffee beans which have been treated with  
caramel, sugar or other substances. Do not put drinks  
containing sugar, or instant coffee in the machine. Sugar  
will damage the machine.  
^ Pull out the coffee bean container.  
^ Push back the lid and fill the container with roasted coffee  
beans.

Important: the water piping must be rinsed through every  
day and the machine cleaned thoroughly before the first  
drink of coffee is prepared. Rinsing will take place  
automatically if the Automatic rinsing programme option  
has been set to "On" and the machine is cold. Hot water  
will run out of both spouts into the drip tray once the

Making coffee  
Pre-warming cups  
The cups should always be pre-warmed to allow the flavour  
to develop and be retained. The aroma of espresso does not  
react well to cold,  
The smaller the volume of coffee/espresso, the more  
important it is to pre-warm the cup. Use a plate warming  
drawer if you have one. If not you can warm them as follows:  
^ Place the cup under the hot water spout.  
^ Touch the lower sensor on the right until "Hot water" is  
visible on the left of the display.  
^ Touch the sensor beside "Hot water".  
^ Allow a little hot water to run into the cup to warm it and  
touch "+ C" to switch off the water.  
^ Leave the cup to warm for a while and then pour the water  
away.  
Adjusting the height of the coffee spouts  
You can adjust the height of the coffee spouts to suit the  
height of the cup so that the espresso or coffee will not cool  
down as quickly as it would if the spouts were further away  
from the cup. The crema will also be a better quality if the  
coffee does not have so far to go!  
^ Gently pull the coffee spouts downwards.

^ Touch the sensor beside espresso or coffee.  
The machine will now grind the coffee beans, pre-brew the  
ground coffee (if the programme option "Pre-brewing" has  
been set to "On") and the coffee will then be dispensed from  
the coffee spouts.  
Do not open the machine door during the brewing  
process. This will damage the machine.  
To ensure that any coffee residues from the factory testing  
process are removed from the brewing system, please  
throw away the first two cups of coffee.  
Cancelling preparation  
^ Touch the "+ C" sensor.  
Preparation will be stopped immediately.

Cappuccino and milk froth  
Using for the first time  
Before the coffee machine leaves the factory, the pipework is  
completely pumped out. For this reason, water must be  
pumped into the pipework before using the machine to make  
a cappuccino or to froth milk for the first time:  
^ Place an empty cup under the Cappuccinatore spout.  
^ Touch the sensor beside "Froth".  
The Cappuccinatore will now draw water in for a while in  
order to fill the pipework. A trickle of water will come out of  
Cappuccinatore spout.  
^ Once the machine has stopped, start the "Froth" process  
again  
After a while steam will come out of the Cappuccinatore  
spout and there will now be water in the system. You can now  
prepare a cappuccino or froth milk.

Making coffee  
Cappuccino  
To prepare a cappuccino you will need a large china or  
porcelain cup and a jug of milk.  
Froth is best made from cold, skimmed or  
semi-skimmed milk.  
Because the milk needs to be frothed, only one portion  
of Cappuccino can be prepared at one time.  
^ Place a jug of milk jug under the Cappuccinatore suction  
tube and a cappuccino cup under the Cappucinatore  
spout.  
^ Touch the sensor beside "Cappuccino".  
The milk will be drawn up the suction tube, frothed in the  
Cappuccinatore, and then dispensed into the cup whilst the  
beans are grinding.  
When you have sufficient froth in the cup, stop the  
milk frothing process by touching the "+ C"  
sensor.  
^ Then place the cappuccino cup under the two coffee  
spouts and touch the sensor beside "ok".  
Your cappuccino is now ready!

Making coffee  
Frothing milk  
To froth milk separately, use a cold, stainless steel jug that  
narrows towards the top. Froth is best made from cold,  
semi-skimmed milk.  
^ Fill the glass jug supplied with cold milk and place it under  
the Cappuccinatore suction tube. Place a stainless steel  
jug under the Cappuccinatore spout.  
^ Touch the sensor beside "Froth".  
The milk will be drawn up the suction tube, frothed in the  
Cappuccinatore, and then dispensed into the stainless steel  
jug.  
When you have sufficient froth in the jug, stop the  
milk frothing process by touching the "+ C"  
sensor.  
Frothing milk and preparing coffee / espresso at the same time  
You can froth milk and prepare coffee / espresso at the same  
time (the steam system must be switched on via "Settings")  
by first touching the sensor beside the drink you want to  
prepare and then touching the lower sensor on the right  
beside "Froth".  
After frothing milk or making cappuccino  
Always clean the Cappucciantore system  
immediately after use, as it is harder to clean once  
milk has dried on. Dried on milk can also block  
the Cappuccinatore system resulting in poor frothing results  
or even preventing it from working (see "Cleaning and care").

Setting the coffee grinder  
A good espresso or coffee with a thick, even crema (froth)  
depends not only on the quality, pressure and temperature of  
the water and the quality of the coffee beans, but also on the  
quantity of beans and how finely they are ground.  
The crema should have an even colour with dark stripes  
running through it.  
You can set the amount of coffee beans to be ground in the  
main menu (see "Settings: Customising your machine -  
"Amount of coffee").  
Always adjust the amount of beans to be ground one  
stage at a time only and then let the machine grind this  
quantity before adjusting the amount again. Otherwise the  
machine will be damaged.  
There are various ways to tell whether the coffee grinder is set  
correctly:  
– If espresso or coffee flows too quickly into the cup, it  
means that the coffee has been ground too coarsely and  
the pressure is not sufficient. The grinder should be set on  
a finer setting.  
– If espresso or coffee only trickles into the cup, the coffee  
has been ground too finely and the coffee will be bitter. The  
grinder should be set on a coarser setting.  
– If the crema is evenly coloured but pale, this is also a sign  
that the coffee beans have been ground too coarsely.  
– If the crema is very dark brown on one side, graduating  
almost to white on the other, it suggests that coffee beans  
have been ground too finely.

Setting the coffee grinder  
To alter the grinder setting  
^ push the slide control to the left (for finer grinding) or to the  
right (for coarser grinding).  
You should be able to feel the notches when moving the slide  
control.  
If the slide refuses to move,  
^ close the machine and dispense a cup of espresso coffee.  
Then try the slide control again.

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.

Amount of coffee  
Both the flavour and the crema (froth) on the coffee depend  
on the quantity of ground coffee used.  
6 to 14 grammes of coffee beans are used per cup,  
depending on the type of coffee. The greater the quantity, the  
stronger the espresso, coffee or cappuccino.  
The quality of the crema is also affected by the quantity:  
– If the crema is evenly coloured but pale, it could mean that  
too little coffee is being used.

Setting the water hardness  
For trouble-free operation of the coffee machine, and to  
ensure that the descaling reminder appears in the display at  
the appropriate time, it is important to set the water hardness  
level. 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.

Settings: Customising your machine  
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 result will be  
evident after about a 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.

Setting the portion sizes  
The flavour of the coffee produced depends on the type of  
coffee, the amount of coffee used, how finely the beans are  
ground and particularly, 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 be used.  
Espresso a quantity of water of between approx. 30 up to  
125 ml can be set,  
Coffee a quantity of water of between approx. 30 up to  
250 ml can be set,  
Hot water a quantity of between approx. 30 up to 250 ml  
can be set,  
Cappuccino - cappuccino uses (milk) froth and espresso.  
The time for frothing milk can be individually controlled. The  
quantity of water for espresso can be between approx. 30  
up to 125 ml .  
^ Place the cup you want to use under the coffee spouts  
(with cappuccino sized cups, place the cup underneath  
the Cappuccinatore spout first of all).  
^ Touch the sensor beside the type of drink for which you  
want to set the water quantity until "Programme the amount"  
appears under the type of drink in the display.  
^ Then stop touching the sensor.

sensor next to "ok".  
When setting the Cappuccino amount place the cup  
under the coffee spouts and touch the sensor until  
"Programme the amount" appears.  
The portion size for the type of drink is now set and stored in  
memory. The quantity of water which you have set for the  
particular type of drink will now be dispensed every time this  
drink is prepared.  
If you do not stop the flow of water whilst setting the amount,  
the flow will stop automatically when it has reached the  
maximum amount possible. This amount is then memorised  
for the drink.

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, acids, soda or  
scouring agents. These would damage the surface.  
It is important to clean the machine regularly, as the used  
coffee grounds will soon go mouldy.  
With the exception of the brew unit and the coffee bean  
container, 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 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.

Cleaning and care  
Water container  
Empty the water container daily and - if you are not using the  
plumbed in water supply - fill with fresh, cold drinking water  
just before use.  
When cleaning, make sure that there is no soiling in the  
area around the valve. Otherwise the container will not sit  
correctly and this could result in water leaking from the  
machine.  
^ Clean the surface the water container sits on thoroughly.  
Waste container  
After a certain period of time a reminder to empty the waste  
container will appear in the display. The waste container must  
be cleaned when this message appears. However it is better  
to clean the waste container every day to prevent coffee  
grounds from turning mouldy.  
There will probably also be water in the waste container left  
over from the rinsing process.  
Lining the waste container with one or two pieces  
of kitchen paper towel will make it easier to tip the  
grounds out.  
^ Pull the waste container forwards to remove it.  
^ Clean the waste container with hot water and a little  
washing-up liquid or in the dishwasher and dry with a cloth.

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 system.  
^ Open the machine door and carefully remove the drip tray  
from the machine.  
There is a grid in the drip tray. This grid prevents 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 metal  
discs send a signal to the machine when the drip tray is  
full or if it is not in the machine. The discs will not convey  
these messages if they are dirty or damp.

– 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 or  
splashes of descaling agent immediately.  
To prevent the risk of scratches and damage to stainless  
steel and aluminium surfaces, pay particular attention to  
the following cleaning instructions.  
Stainless steel fronts  
The machine front is susceptible to scratches and abrasion.  
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned using a Miele E-Cloth  
or with a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed  
specifically for use on stainless steel. N.B. Do not use  
stainless steel cleaning agents on the controls.  
To help prevent re-soiling, a conditioning agent for  
stainless steel, such as Neoblank (available from  
the Miele Spare Parts Department) can also be  
used. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the label.

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 only 50 portions can be made before the next  
descaling programme has to be run, the following message  
will appear in the display for the first time: "50 drinks can be  
made. Please run the descaling programme!".  
This message will now appear (counting down) after each  
drink (coffee, espresso, cappuccino, hot water, steam) is  
dispensed. If you let it run to 0, the machine will stop working.  
Touch the sensor beside "Descale" to start the  
descaling programme. If you do not have time to  
wait until the descaling programme has finished (it  
takes approx. 20 minutes) you can switch the machine off.  
However, you will not be able to make any more drinks until  
the descaling programme has been carried out.  
You should only use the descaling tablets supplied with  
the machine. These have been specially formulated for  
use in this coffee machine and are available from your  
Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department.  
Other types of descaling agents will damage the machine  
and affect the taste.  
Follow the instructions on the package carefully to avoid  
damaging the machine.  
You must use the funnels provided with the machine.  
Otherwise there is a risk of descaling agent splashing the  
front of the machine. When descaling the machine, wipe  
up any spillages or splashes of descaling agent  
immediately. to avoid damaging the machine front.  
After running the descaling programme, remember to  
clean the water container and the drip tray thoroughly  
to remove any descaling residues.

Descaling the machine  
To run the descaling programme  
^ If you want to descale the machine before it has heated  
up touch the sensor beside "Descale" in the initial menu to  
begin the descaling programme.  
^ If you want to descale the machine without being  
prompted to do so by the reminder (because your water  
is very hard, for example), select the "Maintenance" option,  
^ Touch the sensor beside "Descale" and then the sensor  
beside "ok".  
The display will guide you through the whole procedure.  
Please follow the instructions to, for example, empty the drip  
tray, fill the water container etc.  
If the machine has already heated up, it will cool down  
for approx. 10 minutes before starting to run the  
descaling programme.  
The descaling programme cannot be cancelled once the  
"OK" Sensor has been touched. 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.  
^ When the message appears in the display asking you  
– to add descaling agent to the water container, take the  
water container out and fill it up to the k mark with  
lukewarm water. (Do not use less water than this  
because this would cause the descaling programme to  
finish before it has been completed properly).  
Add 2 descaling tablets to the water. Allow the tablets to  
dissolve fully before shutting the lid and putting the water  
container back in the machine.

Descaling the machine  
^ Fit the descaling funnels under the spouts as illustrated.  
The bottom of the funnel fits into the drip tray to enable the  
descaling agent to be collected in it.  
During the descaling programme, water containing descaling  
agent will run out of the hot water and the cappuccinatore  
spouts. This is followed by an activation period before a little  
more descaling agent is dispensed.  
^ When a message asking you to fill the water container  
with fresh water appears, 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 up to the k mark with clean tap water.  
Water will flow out of the spouts during the rinsing process.  
The drip tray will need to be emptied several times during  
this process.  
When descaling has been completed, Programme finished  
will appear in the display. Follow the instructions in the  
display. The machine will then run a short rinsing cycle.  
The pipework is completely pumped out during the  
descaling process. For this reason, water must be  
pumped back into the pipework before using the machine  
to make a cappuccino or to froth milk after descaling. (See  
"Making coffee: Cappuccino and milk froth").

Repairs to electrical appliances should only be carried out  
by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict  
accordance with current local and national safety  
regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified  
persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be  
held liable for unauthorised work.  
Various messages will appear in the display to warn of certain  
problems. Follow the instructions which appear in the display  
to remedy the problem.  
The following problems will not be indicated in the display,  
but can be dealt with as follows:  
What to do if . . .  
. . . the machine does not light up after it has been  
switched on.  
^ Is the machine locked?  
^ Has the lighting been switched off (see "Settings,  
Lighting").  
^ If not, then the lighting is defective. Call the Miele Service  
Department.  
. . . the heating-up phase takes too long.  
If the door is opened during the heating-up phase, e.g. to fill  
the water container, the heating elements switch off. They will  
start heating up again as soon as the door is closed.  
. . . nothing appears in the display.  
The machine is not connected to the electricity supply.  
^ Is the master switch in the 0 position?

Problem solving guide  
. . . the machine suddenly switches itself off.  
The machine will switch itself off automatically after a certain  
length of time if it is not being used. This time depends on the  
switch off time which has been programmed.  
The water temperature could be too high. The machine will  
remain switched off until the water has cooled down  
sufficiently.  
There could be stones in amongst the coffee beans, in which  
case the machine will switch itself off automatically within 20  
seconds to avoid damage.  
Call the Miele Service Department.  
^ Is the plug correctly fitted in the socket?  
. . . the lighting suddenly switches itself off.  
The lighting will switch off automatically after 10 minutes of  
inactivity unless a different light setting has been selected.  
. . . you cannot read the display.  
If the machine is installed too low down, the display can be  
hard to see.  
^ Try and improve this by adjusting the display contrast or  
brightness.  
. . . no water or steam comes out of the Cappuccinatore  
spout.  
^ Remove the water container and replace it.  
The spout is blocked if still no water or steam comes out or if  
only a little comes out.  
^ Clean the Cappuccinatore as described in "Cleaning and  
care - Cappuccinatore". Make absolutely sure that none of  
the small holes in the parts are blocked. You can knead the  
soft parts or blow through them to unblock them.

. . . the coffee grinder makes a louder noise than usual.  
There could be stones in amongst the coffee beans.  
^ Switch the machine off immediately.  
^ Contact the Miele Service Department.  
. . . the coffee grinder makes less noise than usual.  
The coffee bean container is empty. A message will soon  
appear in the display.  
^ Wait until the grinder makes no noise at all, then refill the  
bean container with beans.  
. . . the espresso is dispensed too quickly.  
The coffee is too coarsely ground.  
^ Set the grinder on a finer setting.  
. . . the espresso is dispensed too slowly.  
The coffee is too finely ground.  
^ Set the grinder on a coarser setting.  
. . . the espresso is not hot enough.  
^ Have the cups and system been pre-warmed?  
The smaller the cup, the more important it is to pre-warm it.  
^ Check the temperatures the different types of coffee have  
been set to.  
^ Check whether the brew unit is blocked. Clean it if it is  
blocked.  
. . . coffee is not dispensed, even though the beans have  
been ground and there is sufficient water in the water  
container.  
^ Check whether the slide control for the fineness of the  
coffee is at the finest setting or if the amount of coffee to be  
ground has been set at the largest amount.  
Because the process is time controlled, it is possible that the  
process has taken so long that there is no time left for  
brewing.

Problem solving guide  
^ Select a slightly coarser coffee grinder setting or a lower  
setting for the amount of coffee to be ground.  
. . . the machine door will not close.  
^ Are the containers in position correctly?  
. . . the steam system is switched off but steam is still  
available.  
If the steam system is still hot, steam will still be available.  
However, if the steam system has cooled down after being  
switched off, it will need to heat up again before steam is  
available.  
. . . coffee preparation has been interrupted.  
The water container is empty. If you are not using the  
plumbed in water supply, fill the water container with cold,  
fresh tap water. If you are using the plumbed in water supply,  
check that the stopcock is open and that the water inlet hose  
is not blocked.  
. . . only water is dispensed when coffee has been  
selected.  
– The lid of the ground coffee chute has been opened and  
closed and then the "Have you added ground coffee and  
do you want to make a drink now?" option has been  
selected. However, the coffee chute has not been filled  
with ground coffee.  
After the drink has been dispensed, the coffee machine will  
revert automatically to making coffee with coffee beans.  
– The beans may have become jammed. Pull the bean  
container out of the machine and then push it back in  
again.  
. . . a message keeps appearing asking you to empty the  
drip tray even though it is empty.  
^ Have the contacts been properly cleaned and dried?  
^ Is the drip tray positioned correctly in the machine?  
^ Switch the machine off and then back on again with the  
master switch.

^ Buff the contacts a little, e.g. with fine glasspaper or emery  
cloth.  
^ If this fault message continues to appear, please call the  
Miele Service Department.  
. . . the machine does not rinse through when switched on,  
even though the Automatic rinsing programme is set to  
"On".  
If the temperature of the machine is still 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 (when using  
the water container and not the plumbed in water supply).  
The quantity used previously was not saved to memory.  
. . . 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 a lot of residual "coffee water" in the waste  
container.  
If the slide control for the grinder is set to very fine, too much  
residual "coffee water" can be left in the waste container.  
^ If a very fine grinder setting has not been set, call the Miele  
Service Department.  
. . . the descaling process was started by mistake.  
The descaling programme cannot be cancelled once you  
have touched the "OK" sensor. 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.

Problem solving guide  
. . . the coffee machine makes loud noises during the  
descaling programme.  
During the descaling programme you will hear loud noises as  
water is flushed through the machine under high pressure.  
These are no cause for concern.  
. . . 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.  
. . . no water comes out of the spouts.  
The filters in the brew unit are dirty.  
^ Clean the filters by rubbing them with your finger.  
. . . the brew unit or the waste container cannot be pulled  
out of the machine.  
The brew unit is not in the correct position. This can happen  
if, for example, the machine door is opened during grinding  
or brewing.  
^ Close the machine door. The brew unit will position itself  
correctly automatically.  
. . . the crema is not as it should be.  
^ Check that the grinder setting is not too coarse or too fine.  
^ Check the temperatures the different types of coffee have  
been set to. If the temperature is too high, there will be dark  
patches in the crema.  
– The coffee is no longer fresh enough.  
– The coffee blend is unsuitable.  
– The coffee spouts have been set too high.

. . . too much crema has formed and is overflowing above  
the coffee spouts.  
Some types of coffee will produce too much crema if the  
coffee or espresso temperature is set to maximum and the  
amount of coffee to be ground is set too high.  
^ Set a lower temperature and reduce the amount of coffee to  
be ground.  
. . . the milk froth is "spitting".  
Perhaps the system was not filled with water before the first  
drink was made. Fill the system with water as described in  
"Making coffee: Cappuccino and milk froth").  
. . . milk spits out of the jug when making the first froth of  
the day.  
If the door was opened during the heating up phase,  
pressure will have built up in the steam valve. When the valve  
was opened, this pressure caused the milk to come out of the  
cappuccino spout too fast.  
. . . the slide control for the grinder setting will not move.  
^ Close the machine door and dispense a cup of espresso  
coffee.  
The grinder setting slide control will now move.  
. . . the brew unit cannot be removed.

Installation  
Building-in and combination options  
The coffee machine is designed to be built into a tall unit.  
It can also be combined with other Miele built-in appliances.  
If the coffee machine is to be built in above another  
appliance, there must be a full-width, closed shelf between  
them (except when it is combined with a Miele built-in plate  
warming drawer).  
The plate warmer can be connected directly to a socket at  
the rear of the coffee machine using a special connection  
cable (available as an optional accessory from your Miele  
Dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department) so that it can  
be in use or ready for use whenever the coffee machine is  
being used. Your cups will always be pre-warmed!  
Only a Miele EGW 4000-14 or -29 plate warmer can be  
connected directly to this coffee machine. Connection of  
any other appliance would damage the machine.  
The machine can also be installed in a mobile unit which is  
available to purchase.
