Connection valve
If the steam generator becomes difficult
to insert and remove or if the fault
message F20 appears, the connection
valve must be lubricated.
The connection valve is the upper
connection in the cut out area.
^ Lubricate the connection valve, see
arrow (not the plug in the lower part)
with a very small amount of the
supplied silicone grease, see
"Accessories". Leave the valve on the
connector while doing so.
Take care when using silicone
grease.
- Remove any silicone grease from
your skin by washing with soap
and water.
- If silicone gets into the eyes flush
with plenty of clean water.
- If silicone is swallowed seek
medical attention.
Cleaning and Care
If the connection valve becomes brittle,
dried out or if a lot of water collects at
the bottom of the steam connector
niche, the valve needs to be replaced.
A valve can be purchased from Miele.
When lubricating the valve only use
the silicone grease supplied. Never
use margarine, oil, or any other
grease or fat on the valve, they will
cause deterioration.
