Descaling the steam oven
We recommend using Miele descaling
tablets (see “Optional accessories”) to
descale the appliance. These have
been specially developed for use with
Miele appliances to optimise the de-
scaling process. Other descaling
agents, which contain other acids be-
sides citric acid and/or other undesir-
able substances, such as chlorides for
example, could cause damage to the
product. Moreover, the descaling res-
ult required could not be guaranteed if
the descaling solution was not of the
appropriate concentration.
Do not spill descaling agent onto
metal surfaces. This can cause
marks to appear.
However, should any descaling
agent get onto these surfaces, wipe
it away immediately.
The steam oven has to be descaled
after a certain number of operating
hours. When it needs descaling, the
number of uses remaining will be shown
in the display. The steam oven will lock
after the last remaining cooking pro-
cess.
We recommend that you descale the
appliance before it locks out.
During the descaling process, the water
container must be rinsed out and re-
filled with fresh water.

tablets in it.
Wait until the descaling tablets have
dissolved.

pliance.

The time remaining will appear in the
display. The descaling process will now
begin.
Do not switch the steam oven off dur-
ing the descaling process, otherwise
the whole process will have to be star-
ted from the beginning again.
The water container will need emptying
and refilling with fresh tap water twice
during descaling.
Follow the instructions on the display.
