Descaling

For optimum cleaning results we recommend that you use
Miele descaling tablets to descale your steam oven (see
"Optional accessories"). A proprietary citric acid based
descaling agent can also be used. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions on the packaging.
Ensure that the descaling agent does not come into
contact with the door handle or the metal control panel as
this could cause marks. However, should any descaling
agent get onto these surfaces, wipe it away immediately.
The water container will need descaling after a certain
number of operating hours. The display will alert you when
this needs to be done.
The appliance will lock out after you have run the tenth
programme.
However, we recommend that you descale the appliance
before it locks out.
^ Fill the water container with 1 litre of descaling solution.
Follow the instructions on the descaling agent packaging
carefully.
^ Push the water container into the appliance until it
connects.
^ Switch the appliance on and select "Descale".
^ Confirm with "Continue".
The descaling process will now begin. It is only possible to
cancel the descaling process during the first minute. After
that the process cannot be cancelled.
Do not switch the appliance off during the descaling
process. If if is switched off before the end of the process,
the whole process will have to be started from the
beginning again.
After 12 minutes, the appliance will prompt you to fill it with
fresh tap water.
