Descaling - Miele DG 2351 Operating And Installation Instructions

Cleaning and care

Descaling

Use the descaling tablets supplied
with the appliance (see "Optional
accessories" for reordering details)
or a proprietary citric acid based
descaling agent to descale the
appliance. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
With aluminium appliances (see
data plate) ensure that the descaling
agent does not come into contact
with the aluminium surfaces as this
could cause marks. If, however, any
descaling agent gets onto an
aluminium surface, 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 done. After switching on, the
descaling symbol k and the number 10
will appear in the time/temperature
display.
The number indicates that the
appliance can be used a further 10
times before it locks out. If the
appliance is not descaled immediately,
a 9 will appear in the display the next
time the appliance is switched on, and
so on.
52
The appliance will lock when it has
been used 10 times. "DESCALE" will
appear in the display and the appliance
must be descaled before it can be
used again.
Proceed as follows:
^ Fill the water container with 1 litre of
descaling solution. To make the
solution, use cold water and
descaling tablets, as instructed on
the packet, or the appropriate
amount of citric acid based
household descaling agent.
^ Turn the function selector to
DESCALE k, if this has not
appeared automatically in the
display.
^ Press the function selector to confirm
your selection.
"Add descaling agent" will appear in the
function display.
^ Push the water container into the
appliance until it connects.
