Cleaning and care
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 door handle or the metal control panel 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.
The appliance will lock out after you have run the tenth programme.
However, we recommend that you descale the appliance before it locks out.
^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.
^Switch the appliance on and select "Descale".
^Confirm with "Continue".
The descaling process will now begin. It is only possible to cancel the descaling process during the first minute. After that the process cannot be cancelled.
Do not switch the appliance off during the descaling process. If if is switched off before the end of the process, the whole process will have to be started from the beginning again.
After 12 minutes, the appliance will prompt you to fill it with fresh tap water.
