Descaling The Water Container - Miele DG 6001 Operating Instructions Manual

Cleaning and care

Descaling the water container

We recommend using Miele descaling
tablets (see "optional accessories").
These have been specially developed
for use with Miele appliances to op-
timise the descaling process. Alternat-
ively you can use a proprietary citric
acid based descaling agent.
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 needs to be descaled
after a certain number of operating
hours. When it needs descaling, the
 symbol and a number will appear in
the display when the appliance is
switched on. The number indicates the
number of times that the steam oven
can be used before it has to be de-
scaled.
k
The appliance will lock after the last re-
maining cooking process.
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.
 Touch the On/Off  button until a
tone sounds and the flashing  sym-
bol and the duration   appear in
the display.
 Pour 1 l lukewarm water into the wa-
ter container and add 1 Miele descal-
ing tablet or the recommended
amount of citric acid descaling agent.
 Wait until the descaling agent has
dissolved.
 Push the water container into the ap-
pliance until it connects.
 Confirm with OK.
The colon will flash and the  symbol
will now light up constantly in the dis-
play. Descaling will now begin.
It is only possible to cancel the de-
scaling process during the first minute.
Do not switch the appliance off during
the descaling process. If it is switched
off before the end of the process, the
whole process will have to be started
from the beginning again.
An audible tone will sound and the
 symbol will flash in the display ap-
proximately 10 minutes before the end
of the descaling process.
