Setting The Water Hardness Level; Set The Correct Boiling Point For Water - Miele DG 6100 Operating And Installation Instructions

Setting the water hardness lev‐
el
The steam oven is set ex-works for
hard 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 wa‐
ter supply and adjust the water hard‐
ness as necessary (see "Settings").
Using for the first time
Set the correct boiling point
for water
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 proce‐
dure also flushes out the waterways.
This process must be carried out to
ensure efficient functioning of your
appliance.
 Run the Steam cooking  pro‐
gramme at 100 °C for 15 minutes.
Proceed as described in "Operation".
Set the correct boiling point for wa‐
ter 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 appli‐
ance (see "Cleaning and care / Mainte‐
nance - Descaling").
