The descale process cannot be overridden to allow me to use the oven in any way.

This is a very good service however this is where my next problem started. The technician indicated that they could not attend for 9 days and if the oven required a part it would take up to 14 days to obtain the part IF it is in Australia and 4 weeks if it had to be sent from Germany. There would also be a waiting time for the technician to attend once the part had arrived. My experience with the oven up until now has been a joy and it does exactly what it says it will do and does it very well but the downtime I experienced was unnecessary The technician who attended gave an easy fix.
