Descaling
For optimum cleaning results we recommend that you use
Miele descaling tablets to descale your steam oven (see
"Optional accessories"). A proprietary citric acid based
descaling agent can also be used. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions on the packaging.
Ensure that the descaling agent does not come into
contact with the metal control panel or the door handle as
this could cause marks. However, should any descaling
agent get onto these surfaces, 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 to be done. After switching on, the descaling
symbol k and the number 10 will appear in the 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.
The appliance will then lock and it must be descaled before it
can be used again.
You can start the descaling programme manually before the
appliance locks out.
^
Touch s until an audible tone sounds and "0:22 h" appears
in the display and the k symbol starts flashing.
^
Fill the water container with 1 litre of descaling solution.
Follow the instructions on the descaling agent packaging
carefully.
^
Push the water container into the appliance until it
connects.
Confirm with "OK".
