ERROR CODE EXPLAINED
Miele Steam Oven
Miele Steam Oven F13 Error Code
What it means
The steam-oven temperature is too high; the water valve may not be fully open or the water nozzle may be scaled/clogged.
Try this first
- Open the water intake valve fully and restart operation.
- If the nozzle needs descaling, wait for the audible signals, open the door carefully because hot steam and surfaces can cause burns, remove the food, and let the oven cool with the door open.
- Remove the side runners and nozzle, descale the nozzle with the Miele system descaler or a suitable descaler, rinse the nozzle, and flush the water-carrying parts before reinstalling.
- Close the door, select Steam cooking at 212 F (100 C), set 1 minute, and press Start/Stop.
- After the cooling-down phase, reopen the door and reinstall the nozzle and side runners.
- If the fault continues, arrange Miele service.
