Making drinksImportant: the water piping must berinsed through every day and themachine cleaned thoroughly beforethe first drink of the day is prepared.This will take place automatically ifthe Rinsing programme option hasbeen set to "On" and the machine iscold. Hot water will run out of thecentral spout into the drip tray oncethe machine has heated up.If the Rinsing programme option hasbeen set to "Off", select "Rinsing" inthe display to rinse out the system(see "Cleaning and care").Switching on^ Touch the On/Off sensor s.The following message will thenappear:Heating phasePre-warming cupsThe cups should always bepre-warmed to allow the flavour todevelop and be retained. The aroma ofespresso does not react well to cold.The smaller the volume ofcoffee/espresso and the thicker thecup, the more important it is topre-warm the cup. Use a plate warmingdrawer if you have one. If not, you canwarm them as follows:^ Place the cup to be warmed underthe hot water spout.^ Touch the Hot water sensor.^ Run a little hot water into the cup towarm it.^ Touch the OK sensor to stop the flowof water.^ Leave the cup for about a minuteuntil it is warm, then pour the wateraway.If the automatic Rinsing programmeoption has been set to "On" (factorydefault setting), the following willappear after the machine has heatedup:RinsingWater will run out of the central spout.The main menu will then appear in thedisplay:Espressoq r H I J L n m C20

Making drinksAdjusting the height of thecentral spoutThe height of the central spout can beadjusted to suit the height of the cup sothat the drink will not cool down asquickly as it would if the spout werefurther away from the cup. The cremawill also be a better quality if the coffeedoes not have so far to go!^ Place a cup under the central spout.The coffee is always dispensedsimultaneously from both spouts.Espresso^ Slowly pull the central spoutdownwards.Preparing espresso and coffeefrom freshly ground beansYou can programme the sizeof portion dispensed forespresso and coffeeaccording to taste (see "Programmingthe amount: setting the portion sizes").Espresso, coffee, double espresso anddouble coffee are all dispensed in thesame way:q r H I J L n m C^ Select the drink you want using thearrow sensors, and touch the OKsensor once.The machine will now grind the coffeebeans, pre-brew the ground coffee (ifthe "Pre-brewing" option has been setto "On") and the coffee will then bedispensed from the coffee spouts.Do not open the machine doorduring the brewing process. This willdamage the machine.To ensure that any coffee residuesfrom the factory testing process areremoved from the brewing system,please throw away the first twocups of coffee.21

Making drinksDouble portionIf you want to dispense a doubleportion of coffee or espresso or todispense two portions at the same time:^ touch the OK sensor twice whilst"2 portions?" is in the display.The two portions will be dispensed oneafter the other.Making espresso and coffeeusing ready ground coffeeAdding ground coffeeIf you want to make espresso or coffeeusing ready ground coffee, you canadd ground coffee to the speciallydesigned coffee chute.^ To prepare two cups at the sametime, place one cup under each jet.Cancelling preparation^ Touch the OK sensor when "Stop" isshowing in the display.Preparation will be halted.^ Pull the cover for the coffee chuteright out of the machine and open upthe lid (a) to the chute.^ Use the scoop supplied and placeone level scoop of ground coffee intothe coffee chute (b). Close the lid.Push the cover into the machine andclose the machine door.Make the coffee?YesNo^ Use the arrow sensor to highlight"Yes".The display will change to the mainmenu and you can select the drink youwant.22

Making drinksIf you have not added anyground coffee, you mustselect "No". Otherwise themachine will assume that there isground coffee in the chute, and onlywater will be dispensed the next timecoffee is made!To make a drink^ Place a cup under the central spout.^ Touch the OK sensor.The machine will prepare espresso orcoffee, which will then be dispensedfrom the central spouts.Do not open the machine doorduring the brewing process. This willdamage the machine.At the end of the process, the coffeemachine will revert automatically tomaking coffee with coffee beans.To cancel preparation^ Touch the OK sensor.Preparation will be halted.Only one portion can be prepared ata time when using ready groundcoffee. This is because the machinewill use all the ground coffee whichhas been added to the chute toprepare one coffee.Drinks with milkStainless steel milk flaskThe stainless steel milk flask is vacuuminsulated to keep the milk cold for aperiod of time. With an ambienttemperature of about 20°C, milk at 6°Ccan be stored for 11-12 hours andremain under 13°C. (Milk that is warmerthan 13°C should not be used becauseit will not make good milk froth.) Milkcannot be stored for as long as 11-12hours if there is a warming drawerunderneath the coffee machine.Do not fill the stainless steel milkflask to the rim. You need to leave agap of at least 2 -3 cm below therim.It is important to keep the top of theflask and the seals clean (whilstfilling it and carrying it). Any soilingcan lead to a malfunction of the flaskin the machine.Good milk froth can be madewith cow's milk that has a fatcontent of 0.3 - 3.8%, lactosefree milk, soya milk, goats milk and ricemilk. It is important to pre-heat thecup with hot water before making yourdrink.23

Making drinksTo make drinks with milk,^ place the lid on the stainless steelmilk flask by twisting it anticlockwiseuntil it locks into place.Cappuccino, latte macchiato, hotmilk, milk froth^ Place a suitable cup or glass underboth jets.For best results with lattemacchiato, the glass shouldbe placed beneath the jetssuch that the espresso flows into thecentre of the milk froth.Cappuccinoq r H I J L n m C^ Touch the right arrow sensor untilsymbol for the drink you want ishighlighted and then touch the OKsensor once.^ Touch the OK sensor again to stopdispensing.^ Open the machine door and hang themilk flask in the machine asillustrated, ensuring that the milkpipework is correctly engaged.^ Then close the machine door.You can then specify the proportionsof coffee, milk froth and hot milkrequired for the drink (see"Programming the amount: settingthe portion sizes").24

Making drinksUser profile drinksThe User profile function is used toselect the quantity of water and milk foryour drink, as well as the fineness of theground, temperature and pre-brewingto suit your taste and that of yourguests (see "Setting up user profiles").If you have set the machine up for aspecific user profile you must firstselect the user profile required andthen the type of drink.After useBefore switching the machine off forany length of time, the pipework, brewsystem, spouts and milk pipework needto be cleaned (see "Cleaning and care:"Rinse the system" and "Clean the milkpipework").User profileq r H I J L n m C^ Touch the right arrow to highlight theUser profile symbol and then touchthe OK sensor.^ Select "Select" with the arrow sensorsand touch the OK sensor.^ Select the user profile you want withone of the arrow sensors and touchthe OK sensor.A large user profile symbol nwill now appear in thedisplay to show that a userprofile has been selected.This function operates in the sameway as a standard profile.25

Setting the coffee grinderA good espresso or coffee with a thick,even crema depends not only on thequality, pressure and temperature ofthe water and the quality of the coffeebeans, but also on the quantity ofbeans and how finely they are ground.The crema should have an evennut-brown colour with dark stripesrunning through it.You can set the amount of coffee beansto be ground in the main menu (see"Settings: Customising your machine -Setting the amount of coffee").Always adjust the amount of beansto be ground one stage at a timeonly and then let the machine grindthis quantity before adjusting theamount again. Otherwise themachine will be damaged.There are various ways to tell whetherthe coffee grinder is set correctly:Espresso or coffee flows into the cuptoo quicklyThe beans have been ground toocoarsely and the pressure is notsufficient. Set the grinder on a finersetting.Espresso or coffee only trickles intothe cupThe beans have been ground too finelyand the coffee will be bitter. Set thegrinder on a coarser setting.The crema is evenly coloured butpaleThe beans have been ground toocoarsely. Set the grinder on a finersetting.The crema is very dark brown on oneside, graduating almost to white onthe otherThe beans have been ground too finely.Set the grinder on a coarser setting.To alter the grinder setting^ Push the slide control one setting tothe left (for finer grinding) or onesetting to the right (for coarsergrinding).You should be able to feel the notcheswhen moving the slide control.^ If the slide control refuses to move,close the machine and dispense acup of espresso coffee.Then try the slide control again.26

Descaling the machineThe machine should be descaledregularly to ensure that it functionscorrectly. It will remind you when thisneeds to be carried out.When only 50 portions can be madebefore the next descaling programmehas to be run, the following messagewill appear in the display the first time:No. of portions until descaling: 50.The remaining number of drinks thatcan be made before descaling will nowshow in the display after each drink ismade.^ Confirm the message by touching theOK sensor.If you let it run to 0, "Descalingprogramme must be carried out" willappear in the display.Touch the OK sensor to startthe descaling programme. Ifyou do not have time to waituntil the descaling programme hasfinished (it takes approx. 20 minutes)you can switch the machine off.However, you will not be able to makeany more drinks until the descalingprogramme has been carried out.Only use the descaling tabletssupplied with the machine. (Makesure you use the correct tablets -approx. 5 cm diameter, pack of 6).These have been speciallyformulated for use in this coffeemachine and are available from theMiele Spare Parts Department or viathe internet at www.miele-shop.com.Other types of descaling agents willdamage the machine and affect thetaste.Follow the instructions on thepackage carefully to avoiddamaging the machine.Make sure that you wipe up anyspillages or splashes of descalingagent immediately to avoiddamaging the machine front.After running the descalingprogramme, remember to clean thewater container and the drip traythoroughly to remove any descalingresidues.60

Descaling the machineTo run the descalingprogrammeMaintenanceq r H I J L n m C^ Touch the right arrow sensor until"Maintenance" is highlighted, andconfirm with OK, or,^ If the machine is switched off, touchthe OK sensor whilst the machine isswitched off.^ Select "Descale" and touch the OKsensor.^ Select "Start" and touch the OKsensor.The display will guide you through thewhole procedure. Please follow theinstructions to, for example, empty thedrip tray, fill the water container etc.If the machine has already heatedup, it will cool down for approx.10 minutes before starting to runthe descaling programme.The descaling programme cannotbe cancelled once the OK sensorhas been touched. The programmehas to be completed through to theend. This is a safety measure toensure that the machine is fullydescaled, and is important for thelong-term protection of the machineand to ensure it functions correctly.To dissolve the descaling tablets^ take the water container out and fill itto the k mark with lukewarm water.(Do not use less water than thisbecause this would cause thedescaling programme to finish beforeit has been completed properly).^ Drop 2 descaling tablets in thewater. Allow the tablets to dissolvefully before shutting the lid andputting the water container back inthe machine.During the descaling programme, watercontaining descaling agent will run outof the hot water and the central spouts.This is followed by an activation periodbefore a little more descaling agent isdispensed.^ When a message asking you to fillthe water container with freshwater appears, you should removethe container and rinse it outthoroughly with clean water. Makesure all traces of descaling agent areremoved, and then fill it up to the kmark with clean tap water.Water will flow out of the spouts duringthe rinsing process. Because the insideof the machine is also cleaned duringthis process you will be prompted toEmpty the drip tray at the end.Programme finished will appear in thedisplay. Follow the instructions given.The machine will then run a shortrinsing cycle.61

InstallationBuilding-in and combination optionsThe appliance is designed to be built into a tall unit.It can also be combined with other Miele built-in appliances. If the coffee machineis to be built in above another appliance, there must be a full-width, closed shelfbetween them (except when it is combined with a Miele built-in plate warmingdrawer).The plate warmer can be connected directly to a socket at the rear of theCVA 5060 coffee machine using a special connection cable (available as anoptional accessory from your Miele Dealer or the Miele Spare PartsDepartment) so that it can be in use or ready for use whenever the CVA 5060coffee machine is being used. This ensures that you always have pre-warmedcups ready for use.Only a Miele EGW 4000-14 or -29 or 5000-14 plate warmer can be connecteddirectly to the CVA 5060 coffee machine. Connecting any other appliancewould damage the coffee machine.The machine can also be installed in a mobile unit which is available to purchase.71

InstallationInstallationBefore installation make sure thatthere is no power supply to themachine. This also applies should itever need to be taken out of itshousing unit.The machine may only be usedwhen it has been built in. It can onlybe used in areas with an ambienttemperature of +15 °C to +60 °C.You will need two Allen keys (size 3and 5) for installing the machine.^ If the furniture unit walls are 19 mmthick you will need to drill four holesin the sides for securing the machine.To mark the position of these holes:– Align the machine in the niche.Screw the side socket screws insidethe machine in a little so that theymake indents in the side walls, andthen unscrew them again.– Take the machine out of the nicheand drill ø 4.5 mm holes, 2 mm deepwhere you made the indentations.^ Connect the appliance to theelectricity supply.^ Push it all the way into the niche untilyou feel resistance.^ Open the machine door, and partiallytighten the side socket screws.^ Using the large allen key, unscrew allfour feet out by about 2 mm.^ Push the machine all the way into theniche until there is a resistance. Thencheck the height to make sure it issitting centrally in the unit and that itis level.If this is not the case, realign the 4feet underneath the machine usingthe large allen key.The feet can be unscrewed by up toapprox. 10 mm.^ Carefully turn the lower socketscrews a to centre the machine inthe niche.^ Tighten both upper socket screws bby hand to secure the machine in theunit. Do not overtighten them.72
