Side Runners; Descaling - Miele DG 6800 Operating And Installation Instructions

Cleaning and care

Side runners

 Pull the side runners out first from the
side , then from the back  of the
steam oven.
 The side runners can be cleaned in
the dishwasher or by hand with a
solution of warm water and a little
washing-up liquid applied with a
clean sponge.
 Push the side runners firmly back in
after cleaning. When putting them
back in, make sure they are correctly
inserted (see illustration).
If the side runners are not correctly
inserted there is no anti-tip
protection. The temperature sensor
could also be damaged when
cooking containers are placed in the
steam oven.

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
descaling process. Other descaling
agents, which contain other acids
besides citric acid and/or other
undesirable 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.
Descaling solution is acidic.
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 steam oven needs to be descaled
after a certain number of operating
hours. When the steam oven needs to
be descaled, a number will appear in
the display indicating the number of
cooking processes remaining before
the appliance locks out. After the last
remaining cooking process, the
appliance will lock out.
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.
