Water hardness
The steam oven must be adjusted to
the local water hardness level to ensure
that it works correctly and to ensure
that descaling is carried out at the
correct interval. The harder the water is,
the more frequently the steam oven
needs to be descaled.
Contact your local water supplier to find
out the hardness of the water in your
area.
If you use bottled water, such as
mineral water, make sure it is not
carbonated. Adjust this setting
depending on the calcium content. The
calcium content is specified on the label
of the bottle in mg/l Ca
2+
or ppm
(mg Ca
2+
/l).
You can set the hardness level between
1 °dH
and
70 °dH
. The hardness level is
set to
15 °dH
by default.
Select your local water hardness on
the appliance.
