Miele H 5981 BP - Manual (Page 72)

Preparation
^ Dissolve one descaling tablet in
approx. 600 ml of cold tap water.
^ Place the universal tray on the top
shelf level to collect the descaling
solution after it has been used.
A plastic tube (with clip) is supplied
with your oven so that you do not
have to hold the container with the
descaling agent underneath the
water intake tube.
^ Attach the plastic tube to the end of
the water intake tube. Place the other
end in the bottom of the descaling
solution container and secure it to the
container with the clip.
^ Close the door.
Start the descaling process.
^ Select the "Descale" option.
^ Press the OK sensor to start the
suction process.
The segment display shows how the
descaling process is progressing. You
can hear the pump during the
descaling process.
The amount of solution specified can
be more than the amount which is
actually taken in which means that
some of the solution will be left in the
container at the end of descaling. Top
the container up with approx. 300 ml of
water to the container, as the system
will need to draw in some more liquid
during the activation phase.
Once the descaling solution has been
drawn into the appliance
– "Activation phase" will appear in the
display.
The activation phase takes
approx. 60 minutes.
– the time left for the activation phase
will be shown counting down in the
display.
The system will take in more liquid at
approximately five minute intervals. You
will hear the noise of the pump for a
moment or so.
The oven lighting and the cooling fan
will remain on during descaling.
