Technical safety
A damaged coffee machine is dangerous. Check it for any visible
damage before setting it up. Never attempt to use a damaged coffee
machine.
Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, make sure
that the rating on the data plate corresponds to the voltage and
frequency of the household supply. This data must correspond in
order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a
qualified electrician if in any doubt.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
present and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the
household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified
electrician.
Reliable and safe operation of the coffee machine can only be
guaranteed if it is connected to the mains electrical supply.
Do not connect the machine to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee
the safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
Unplug the coffee machine from the power supply immediately if
you notice any damage or smell scorching, for example.
Ensure that the mains connection cable cannot be pinched or
damaged by any sharp edges.
The mains connection cable should not hang down. Someone
could trip over it with the risk of injury and the machine could be
damaged.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
Only use the coffee machine in rooms where the ambient
temperature is between +10°C and +38°C.
Danger of overheating! Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation
around the coffee machine. Do not cover it with tea towels etc.
whilst it is in use.
If the coffee machine is installed behind a kitchen furniture door, it
may only be used with the furniture door open. This will prevent the
formation of heat and humidity and subsequent damage to the
appliance and/or furniture unit. Do not close the furniture door while
the coffee machine is in use. Ensure the coffee machine has cooled
down completely before closing the furniture door.
Protect the coffee machine from water and water spray. Do not
immerse the machine in water.
Repairs and other work by unqualified persons to the machine
and the connection cable could be dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for unauthorised work. Repairs may only be
carried out by a Miele authorised service technician.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when
genuine Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must
only be replaced by Miele original spare parts.
Before any repair work is carried out, the appliance must be
completely disconnected from the electricity supply. The appliance is
only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from
the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains
plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity
supply.
– the mains circuit breaker is switched off.
