Descaling

78
For optimum cleaning results we recommend that you use
Miele descaling tablets (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 metal control panel or the door handle as
this could cause marks. However should any descaling
agent get onto these surfaces, wipe it away immediately.
The appliance will need descaling after a certain number of
operating hours. The display will alert you. After switching on,
the descaling symbol k and the number 10 will appear in the
display. The number indicates that the appliance can be
used a further 10 times before it locks out. If the appliance is
not descaled immediately, a 9 will appear in the display the
next time the appliance is switched on, and so on.
The appliance will lock after the last remaining cooking
process and it must be descaled before it is used again. We
recommend descaling before it locks out.
^ Touch s until an audible tone sounds and "0:22 h" appears
in the display and the k symbol starts flashing.
^ 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.
^ Confirm with "OK".
The colon will start flashing and the k symbol will now light
up constantly. 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.
