Making coffee / espresso
Preparing hot milk, frothed
milk, and Cappuccino
This appliance includes a
Cappuccinatore, which can be used to
easily prepare warm milk, frothed milk,
and cappuccino.
Pushed in: Milk is frothed into the cup
Before using the cappuccinatore for
the first time, wash it either in the
dishwasher or with hot water and
liquid dish soap.
Pulled out: Milk is frothed into the
cappuccinatore
When milk is frothed in the
cappuccinatore the froth is hotter
and has more volume.
See "Cleaning and care".
When frothing milk into a cup while
dispensing a coffee, the steam
system must be turned on. See
"Settings - Steam system".
The steam supply is temporary. If
the steam stops and there is not
enough froth prepared, push the
steam lever up then down again.
Above the handle on the
cappuccinatore there is a valve a, and
a milk spout b on the side.
Cold milk is best for creating froth.
The steam is regulated by turning the
valve.
Left: hot milk is prepared
Right: froth is prepared
Be sure not to set the valve between
these two settings - this may cause
the milk to splatter.

Rinsing the lid
After use
For a quick cleaning between uses of
the cappuccinatore the lid can be
rinsed with the steam valve.
If you do not wish to rinse the lines
automatically, they should be flushed
manually before turning the machine off
for the day.
This rinsing does not replace the
cleaning of the cappuccinatore in a
dishwasher.
When a coffee beverage is prepared,
the unit always rinses once before it
switches itself off. For this, it is best to
place a container underneath the
beverage nozzle and the steam vent.

Do not remove the drip tray from the
appliance for a few minutes after the
final rinse, as water will still run from
the lines.
When cleaning, check to be sure

Cleaning and care
Capsule plate
Steam valve
The capsule plate will soil more or less
depending on the oil content of the
coffee capsule used.
The small rubber sleeve which
connects the steam valve to the
cappuccinatore can be removed for
cleaning. The sleeve as well as the
steam valve tip (underneath the rubber
sleeve) should be cleaned regularly.
Clean the capsule plate as necessary
or when the machine needs to be
descaled with the supplied cleaning
tablets. The cleaning tablets can be
purchased from Miele.
^ Press the steam lever down and pull
off the rubber sleeve.
^ Press the checkered portion, a,
down and pull the capsule plate, b,

42
Cleaning and care
Exterior
To better maintain your appliance
avoid the following:
If soiling is not removed promptly it
could cause the surface of the
machine to alter or discolor. Be sure
to remove soiling immediately.
– cleaners containing soda, ammonia,
thinners, or chlorides
– cleaners containing descaling
agents or lime removers,
^ Turn off the machine using the On/Off
button.
– abrasive cleaners,
– stainless steel cleaners,
– caustic (oven) cleaners,
^ The front of the appliance can be
cleaned with a sponge and a solution
of warm water and non abrasive
– scouring pads, steel wool, hard
brushes,
liquid dish soap. Dry with a soft cloth.
Only use a slightly damp sponge
when cleaning the controls. Water
could penetrate into the electronics
and cause damage.
– metal scrapers.
Wipe any spills from descaling im-
mediately!
The external surfaces of the coffee
machine are susceptible to scratching.
Scratches on the glass surface could
also weaken the glass making it more
susceptible to breakages.
Glass cleaners may be used to
clean the exterior. However do not
allow them to sit or "puddle", this can
cause damage to the surface.
Remove the cleaner promptly.
43
Cleaning and care
Cappuccinatore
Clean the cappuccinatore after every
use, otherwise it may become blocked
with dried milk and hard to clean.
The cappuccinatore can be
disassembled into parts for thorough
cleaning. For best results, use a
dishwasher - all parts are
dishwasher-safe.
^ Re-assemble the lid as shown in the
illustration.
When replacing the valve be sure the
dot is facing the upper right.
^ Separate the lid, remove all parts and
clean.
To remove the valve, the dot needs to
be in the 12 o'clock position
(between the hot milk and froth
symbols).
Be sure that the parts are
assembled properly e.g., no gap
between each half of the lid.
Be sure that the re-assembled lid is
seated correctly on the pitcher. The
valve belongs over the handle of the
cappuccinatore. If the valve is in the
wrong position, the cappuccinatore
will not work properly.

45
Descaling the coffee system
The coffee system must be descaled
regularly. The time period depends on
the water hardness set. The appliance
will display a reminder message and
will eventually lock if not descaled.
Only use the enclosed descaling
tablets for descaling. The descaling
tablets are specially designed for
this coffee system. Descaling tablets
can be purchased from Miele.
Other agents may damage the
machine and affect the taste of the
coffee and hot water.
Once the system is at the point where
only 50 drinks can be prepared before
descaling must be performed, the
display will show the message: No. of
portions until descaling: 50.
Be sure that the correct mixture of
descaling agent and water are used
to prevent damage to the machine.
This message will appear and
countdown after each drink until
descaling needs to be completed.
^ Select OK to acknowledge the
message.
To prevent damage to the exterior
wipe up any descaling solution
spills immediately!
Once the counter reaches 0 the
appliance can only be used again once
descaling is performed, the display
reads "Descale - Start".
Thoroughly clean the water tank and
the drip tray of descaling residue.
