DESCALING
This is an oven cleaning function that is a routine maintenance process for the steam
circuit and boiler to remove any limescale incrustations.
For that purpose, after every 200 hours of steam generator operation, the electronics
system gives the warning signal and lights up the icon .
This icon remains steady until the required cycle has been performed.
A descaling cycle can also be performed at any time, even before the electronic system
signals it.
Put 1 L of water in the jug. Dissolve 7-8 teaspoons of citric acid monohydrate in the jug.
Insert the jug in its location and close the door.
With the oven on in awaiting commands mode, go to the flashing icon
using the 2
menu key and press the 3 START ke
to start the cycle.
The corresponding icon
starts its animation.
The cycle is interrupted when there is no more water in the jug.
An intermittent audible signal indicates that the cycle has ended.
The con water icon
flashes. Drain the water from the boiler (see relevant
paragraph).
The descaling function only works with the door shut.
NOTE: the cleaning cycle may last about 2 hours.
If the cycle is interrupted due to a power failure, the display will show black-out as well
as
.
Complete the cycle by re-activating the function using the 2 menu key .
At the end of the cycle, it is recommended to perform at
least one SANITISING cycle to clean the circuit of any
citric acid residues.
