Cleaning and Care
Connection valve
If the steam generator becomes difficult to insert and remove or if the fault message F20 appears, the connection valve needs to be lubricated.
Lubricate the connection valve regularly with a very small amount of the supplied silicone grease, see "Accessories". Leave the valve on the connector while doing so.
Take care when using silicone grease :
-Remove any silicone grease from your skin by washing with soap and water.
-If silicone gets into the eyes flush with plenty of clean water.
-If silicone is swallowed seek medical attention.
If the connection valve becomes brittle, dried out or if a lot of water collects at the bottom of the steam connector niche, the valve needs to be replaced.
A valve can be purchased from Miele.
When lubricating the valve only use the silicone grease supplied. Never use margarine, oil, or any other grease or fat on the valve, they will cause deterioration.
