Descaling - Miele DGC 6700 Operating And Installation Instructions

Descaling

We recommend that you use Miele Descaling Tablets (see
"Optional accessories") for descaling the appliance. They
have been specifically designed for optimal descaling of
Miele products. Other descaling agents, which - in
addition to citric acid - may contain other acids and/or
other undesirable substances such as chlorides, might
damage the product. Also, the desired effect cannot be
guaranteed if the descaling solution does not have the
required concentration.
Ensure that the descaling agent does not come into
contact with the door handle or the metal control panel as
this could cause marks. Wipe the descaling agent imme-
diately from these surfaces.
The appliance will need descaling after a certain number of
operating hours. After turning the appliance on, a message
will appear in the display to tell you that 10 cooking cycles
remain. Only cooking programs which use steam are
counted. The appliance will lock out after you have run the
last remaining program which uses steam.
We recommend that you descale the appliance before it
locks. The entire descaling process takes about 40 minutes.
During the process water must be added twice.
^ Turn on the device and select "Maintenance / Descale".
The display shows the message "Please wait ...". The
descaling process is being prepared. This may take several
minutes.
Once preparation is complete, you will be prompted to fill the
water container.
^ Put approx. 4 cups (1 liter) of water into the water container
and add 2 Miele descaling tablets.
^ Push the water container into the appliance until it
connects, and follow the instructions on the display.
