end of the milk tube to the top of the
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
3/4" (2 cm) below the rim..
^ Place the lid on the flask.

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.

evaporated if being stored for a long
period of time or transported any
distance. This is especially important if
the temperatures are below freezing.
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.

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.
