Descale
The frequency of descaling will depend
on how often you use the Moisture Plus
function.
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 programmes.
The oven will count down in the display
the last 10 programmes that can be run
before it needs to be descaled. You will
then not be able to run any function,
Automatic programme or Maintenance
programme using moisture.
These functions can only be used again
after you have carried out the descaling
process. All other functions, Automatic
programmes and Maintenance programmes
without moisture 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.
The descaling process takes approx.
140minutes 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. Evaporating the residual water and
drying the oven compartment
Preparing the descaling process
You will need a container of approx.
1litre 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
appliances for optimum cleaning
results.
Useful tip: Miele descaling tablets are
available to order from the Miele online
shop or directly from Miele.
Other descaling agents, which contain
other acids besides citric acid and/or
other undesirable substances, such as
chlorides, 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.900ml
of cold fresh water and thoroughly
dissolve two descaling tablets in it.
