Descaling
We recommend that you use Miele Descaling Tablets (see "Optional accessories") for descaling the appliance. They have been specifically designed for optimal descaling of Miele products. Other descaling agents, which - in addition to citric acid - may contain other acids and/or other undesirable substances such as chlorides, might damage the product. Also, the desired effect cannot be guaranteed if the descaling solution does not have the required concentration.
Ensure that the descaling agent does not come into contact with the door handle or the metal panels, as this could cause stains. Wipe off the descaling agent immedi- ately.
The appliance will need descaling after a certain number of operating hours. When it needs descaling, the number of times the steam oven can still be used before it has to be descaled will appear in the display.
The appliance will lock after the last possible use.
It is recommended to descale before the appliance locks.
The descaling takes approx. 40 minutes.
Turn the appliance on and select "Descale". A message is displayed.
Confirm with "OK".
Fill the water container with cold tap water up to the level marker and add 2 Miele descaling tablets.
Push the water container as far as possible into the appliance.
The time remaining will count down in the display. The descaling process begins.
