Descaling - Miele DG 6100 Operating And Installation Instructions

Descaling

We recommend using Miele descaling
tablets for descaling the appliance
(see "Optional accessories"). These
have been specially developed for
Miele appliances to optimise the des‐
caling process. Other descaling
agents, which contain other acids be‐
sides citric acid and/or other undesira‐
ble substances, such as chlorides, for
example, could damage the steam
oven. Moreover, the descaling effect
required could not be guaranteed if
the descaling solution was not of the
appropriate concentration.
Do not spill descaling agent onto
metal surfaces. This can cause
marks to appear.
However, should any descaling
agent get onto these surfaces, wipe
it away immediately.
The appliance needs to be descaled af‐
ter a certain number of operating hours.
When it needs descaling, a number will
appear in the display when the appli‐
ance is switched on. The number indi‐
cates the number of times that the ap‐
pliance can be used before it has to be
descaled.

The appliance will lock after the last re‐
maining cooking process.
We recommend that you descale the
appliance before it locks out.
The water container will need emptying,
rinsing and refilling with fresh tap water
during descaling.
