Cleaning the oven
Note:
Cleaning of the steam oven should be carried out
on a regular basis to prolong the life of this appliance.
• Do NOT use steam cleaners to clean this oven.
• Do NOT use cleaning solvents with strong acidic or
alkaline properties.
• Do NOT use sharp impliments or glass scrapers on the
glass door as this could scratch the surface andcause
possible shattering of the glass.
• Following use, removal of excess water can be achei-
ved by use of the suction ball supplied by depressing
the ball, placing nozzle into the water and releasing the
grip on the ball to draw the waterinto the ball and then
discard water into a bowl or kitchen sink by squeezing
the ball.
• As noted before (page 31), wiping out the oven after
use to remove excess water is necessary to ensurethe
surface and surrounds of the light remains dry. This will
also ensure food odours retained in anyresidual water
will be removed. Care during this process needs to be
taken as the interior will still be hot.
Descaling the steam oven
Note:
Depending on the water quality/hardness in your
area descaling should be carried out at least every 3
months to maintain the performance of the steam gene-
rator and associated components. We recommend using
a descaling product like Hillmark ScalexPlus or similar
when doing this procedure. Follow the manufacturers
instructions of the descaling product regarding the quan-
tities to be used.
• Remove water and add descaling product to the tank,
then half fill the tank with clean water. Refit watertank
to the steam oven and close the door.
• Regular removal of the oven accessories and side racks
should be carried out to remove any foodpartilces and
grease and oil spatters. Refer to section Removal of
Side Racks to see how these areremoved.
• When cleaning the control panel and front of the steam
oven do NOT use cream type cleansers as this may
scratch the surface. Using a soft cloth with warm soapy
water is recommended followed by a drysoft cloth to
remove any possible streaks.
• Periodically clean the water tank. Using warm soapy
water and soft cloth wash the exterior and interiorof
the water tank. Use of a nylon brush may be required to
clean the interior. Do NOT use cream typecleansers as
this may scratch the surface of the tank.
• Every 3 months the Steam Generator should be desca-
led ensuring prolonged life and performance ofthis and
its associated components of the steam oven. Refer
to the section Descaling the steam ovenon how this
procedure needs to be carried out. This procedure may
need to be undertaken more oftendepending on the
water quality/hardness in your area.
• Press
until you reach the descaling programme
and the descaling icon
will be displayed in the main
display screen. Press Start/stop key
to start the
first cycle of the programme. At the end of the cycle the
audible alarm will sound and thewater tap icon

be displayed on the right on the main display screen.
•
After hearing the audible alarm, remove and half fill the
tank with clean water, refit into the steam oven,then
press Start/stop key
to restart. Again after the
audible alarm sounds repeat this procedure fora third
and final time which at the end, descaling is complete.
Clean the water tank in warm soapy waterto remove
any residue.
