Descaling
We recommend that you use Miele
Descal
ing Tablets (see "Optional ac‐
cessories") for descaling the appli‐
ance. They have been specifically de‐
signed for optimal descaling of Miele
products. Other descaling agents,
which - in addition to citric acid - may
contain other acids and/or other un‐
desirable substances such as chlor‐
ides, might damage the product. Also,
the desired effect cannot be guaran‐
teed if the descaling solution does not
have the required concentration.
Descaling solution is acidic.
Do not spill descaling agent onto
metal
surfaces. This can cause
marks to appear.
However, should any descaling
ag
ent get onto these surfaces, wipe
it away immediately.
The steam oven needs to be descaled
aft
er a certain number of operating
hours. When the steam oven needs to
be descaled, a number will appear on
the display indicating the number of
cooking processes remaining before
the appliance locks out. After the last
remaining cooking process, the appli‐
ance will lock out.
We recommend that you descale the
appliance befor
e it locks out.
The water container will need emptying,
rinsing and refilling with fresh tap water
during descaling.
The Ready at and Start at f
unctions are
not available for descaling.
 T
urn the steam oven off and select
Descale.
A message will appear on the display:
 Fi
ll the water container with cold wa‐
ter to the marking  and add 2 Miele
descaling tablets.
 P
ush the water container into the ap‐
pliance until it engages.
 Confirm with OK.
The descaling process will now begin,
and the time left will count down on the
display
.
It is only possible to cancel the desca‐
ling
process during the first 6 minutes.
Do not turn the appliance off during
the descaling process. If it is turned
off before the end of the process, the
whole process will have to be started
from the beginning again.
During the course of the descaling
pr
ocess, the water container needs to
be rinsed and filled with fresh water.
 F
ollow the instructions on the display.
When the descaling process has finish‐
ed, a message will appear on the dis‐
play
.
