Set The Water Hardness Level; Set The Correct Boiling Point For Water - Miele DG 6800 Operating And Installation Instructions

Using for the first time

Set the water hardness level

The steam oven is set ex-works for
water. It must be adjusted to local water
hardness to ensure trouble-free
operation and to ensure that descaling
is carried out at the correct interval. The
harder the water, the more often it will
need to be descaled.
 Check the hardness of your local
water supply and adjust the water
hardness as necessary (see "Settings
- Water hardness").

Set the correct boiling point
for water
Hard
Before cooking food for the first time,
you must set the boiling point for water,
as this varies depending on the altitude
the appliance is located at. This
procedure also flushes out the
waterways.
This procedure must be carried out
to ensure efficient functioning of your
appliance.
 You should then run the
programme at 100 °C for 15 minutes.
Proceed as described in "Operation".
Set the correct boiling point for
water following a house move
If you move house, the appliance will
need to be re-set for the new altitude if
this differs from the old one by 300 m
or more. To do this, descale the
appliance (see "Cleaning and care -
Descaling").
