Descale
The frequency of descaling will depend
on the water hardness level in your
area.
The descaling process can be run at
any time.
However, to ensure that the oven
functions correctly, you will be
automatically prompted to run the
descaling process for the steam
injection system after a certain number
of cooking processes.
The oven will count down in the display
the last 10 cooking processes that can
be run before it needs to be descaled.
You will then not be able to run any
operating mode or automatic
programme using moisture assistance.
These operating modes can only be
used again after you have carried out a
descaling process. All other operating
modes and automatic programmes
without moisture assistance can still be
used.
Descaling process sequence
Once the descaling process has been
started it must be completed through
to the end. It cannot be cancelled.
Descaling takes approx. 90minutes and
consists of several steps:
1. Preparing the descaling process
2. Drawing in the descaling solution
3. Activation phase
4. Rinse 1
5. Rinse 2
6. Rinse 3
7. Residual water evaporation
Preparing the descaling process
You will need a container of approx.
1litre capacity.
A plastic tube (with suction cup) is
supplied with your oven so that you
do not have to hold the container with
the descaling agent underneath the
water intake pipe.
We recommend using the descaling
tablets supplied. They have been
specially developed for Miele for
optimum results.
Tip: Miele descaling tablets are
available to order from the Miele
webshop, from the Miele Customer
Service Department or from your Miele
dealer.
Other descaling agents, which contain
other acids besides citric acid and/or
other undesirable substances, such as
chlorides for example, could cause
damage.
Moreover, the descaling result
required could not be guaranteed if
the descaling solution was not of the
appropriate concentration.
 Fill the container with approx. 600ml
of cold tap water and thoroughly
dissolve one descaling tablet in it.
Carrying out the descaling process
 Select Maintenance.
 Select Descale.
If the functions and automatic
programmes that use moisture
assistance are already disabled, the
descaling process can be started
immediately by touching OK.
