Warning and Safety instructions
~
Please note the following with
regard to cleaning the coffee machine:
– Disconnect the coffee machine from
the electricity supply before
cleaning.
– Clean the coffee machine every day
(see "Cleaning and care" for more
information).
– Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. Steam could cause a
short circuit.
– Descale the coffee machine regularly
using the appropriate number of
Miele descaling tablets for the water
hardness level in your area. Descale
the machine more frequently in areas
with very hard water. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable
for damage arising from insufficient
descaling.
– Degrease the brew unit regularly with
Miele cleaning tablets. Depending on
the natural oil content of the coffee
used, the brew unit can become
blocked quite quickly.
– Used coffee grounds should be
disposed of with organic rubbish or
on the compost heap, but not
emptied down the sink as they could
block it.

For machines with a stainless steel
trim:
~
Do not use sticky notes, transparent
adhesive tape, masking tape or other
types of adhesive on the stainless steel
trim. These damage the surface,
causing it to lose its dirt repellent
protective coating.
~
The surface of the stainless steel
trim is susceptible to scratching. Even
magnets can cause scratches to
appear.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.
