Setting The Correct Boiling Point For Water; Heating Up The Appliance - Miele DGC 5051 Operating Instructions Manual

Setting the correct boiling point for water

Heating up the appliance

The boiling point for water at a high altitude above sea level
will be lower than the boiling point for water at sea level. To
adjust the boiling point for the altitude in your area, fill the
water container with mains tap water (See "Operation -
Preparing the appliance for use"), and then run the Cook
universal programme ! (100 °C) for 15 minutes. Proceed as
described in "Operation".
This procedure sets the correct boiling point for water for the
altitude in your area and also flushes out the waterways.
Warning! A lot of steam will be emitted from the appliance.
If you move house, the appliance will need to be re-set for
the new altitude if this differs from the old one by more than
300 m. To do this, descale the appliance (see "Cleaning and
care - Maintenance - Descaling").
To remove grease from the ring heating element, heat the
steam combi oven up with nothing in it at 200 °C using the
Fan plus programme for 30 minutes. Proceed as described in
"Operation".
There will be a slight smell the first time the heating element is
heated up.
The smell and any vapours will dissipate after a short time,
and do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance. It is
important to ensure that the room is well ventilated during this
operation.
