Descaling - Miele DG 2351 Operating And Installation Instructions

Cleaning and care

Descaling

Only use proprietary citric acid
based descaling agents or
descaling tablets to descale the
appliance (available from the Spare
Parts Dept). Follow the
manufacturer's instructions on the
packaging. Do not use vinegar or
descaling agents containing vinegar,
as these can cause corrosion.
With aluminium appliances (see
data plate) ensure that the descaling
agent does not come into contact
with the aluminium surfaces as this
could cause marks. However, should
any descaling agent get onto the
aluminium surfaces, wipe it away im-
mediately.
The water container will need descaling
after a certain number of operating
hours. The display will alert you when
this needs done. After switching on,
the descaling symbol k and the
number 10 will appear in the
time/temperature display.
The number indicates that the
appliance can be used a further 10
times before it locks out. If the
appliance is not descaled immediately,
a 9 will appear in the display the next
time the appliance is switched on, and
so on.
50
The appliance will lock when it has
been used 10 times. "DESCALE" will
appear in the display and the appliance
must be descaled before it can be
used again.
Proceed as follows:
^ Fill the water container with 1 litre of
descaling solution. To make the
solution use cold water and the
appropriate amount of citric acid
based household descaling agent or
descaling tablets as instructed on the
packaging.
^ Turn the function selector to
DESCALE k, if this has not
appeared automatically in the
display.
^ Press the selector to confirm your
selection.
"Add descaling agent" will appear in the
function display.
^ Push the water container into the
appliance until it connects.
