Setting The Water Hardness Level; Setting The Correct Boiling Point For Water - Miele DG 6100 Operating And Installation Instructions

Setting the water hardness lev‐
el
The water hardness level of the steam
oven is set to Hard at the factory. For
trouble-free operation of the steam
oven, and to ensure that it is descaled
at the appropriate time, it is important
to set the water hardness level for your
area. The harder the water, the more of‐
ten the steam oven must be descaled.
 Check which water hardness level
has been set and, if necessary, set
the correct water hardness (see "Set‐
tings").
Using for the first time
Setting the correct boiling
point for water
Before cooking with the steam oven for
the first time, it must be set to the cor‐
rect boiling point for water in your area.
This is determined by the altitude at
which you live. This procedure also
flushes out the water pipework.
This procedure must be carried out
to ensure efficient functioning of your
appliance.
 Run the Steam cooking  pro‐
gramme at 100 °C for 15 minutes.
Proceed as described in "Operation".
Setting the correct boiling point for
water following a house move
If you move house, the appliance will
need to be reset for the new altitude if
this differs from the old one by 300 m
or more. To do this, descale the appli‐
ance (see "Cleaning and care - Desca‐
ling").
