Operating modes
You can use the operating mode selector to set your appliance
for various different applications.
Automatic calibration
The boiling temperature of water depends on the air pressure.
During calibration, the appliance is adapted to the pressure
conditions in the location where it is installed. This happens
automatically when you first use the appliance (see section:
First use). More steam develops than usual.
It is important that the appliance steams without interruption for
20 minutes at 100 °C. Do not open the appliance door during
this time.
If the appliance was not able to calibrate itself automatically (for
example, because the appliance door was opened), the
calibration process is carried out again during the next cooking
operation.
After moving house
So that the appliance automatically adjusts itself to its new
location, you must reset the appliance to the factory settings
(see section: Basic settings) and repeat the initial start-up
process (see section: First use).
After a power cut
The appliance saves the calibration settings even in the event
of a power cut or disconnection from the mains. Recalibration
is not necessary.
Your accessories
The accessories supplied with your appliance are suitable for
making many dishes. Ensure that you always insert the
