Before using your Miele steam ironing
system, you should first familiarise
yourself with all functions in order to be
able to use them correctly.
^ Remove all packaging from the
steam ironing system (e.g. film on
tower, etc.).
When using for the first time, a slight
smell may be given off during the
heating-up phase. This will dissipate
with further use.
Pumping, boiling and knocking noises
may be heard during the heating-up
phase.
These are normal noises that occur
during operation.
Before using for the first time
Water hardness
For trouble-free operation of the steam
ironing system, and to ensure that the
descaling reminder appears at the
appropriate time, it is important to set
the water hardness level for your area.
The water hardness level indicates how
much calcium is dissolved in the water.
The higher the calcium content, the
harder the water, and the harder the
water, the more often the appliance will
need to be descaled.
Your local water authority will be able to
tell you the hardness of water in your
area.
This information can often be obtained
from the internet homepage of your
local water authority.
Set the water hardness according to
the values given in the chart below. The
programmed water hardness level can
be recognised by the flash frequency of
the indicator light k.
