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.

Setting the water hardness range
Descale your appliance regularly. This is the only way to
prevent damage.
Your appliance automatically displays when it needs descaling.
It has been preset to water hardness range "medium". Change
the value if your water is softer or harder.
You can check the water hardness with the test strips supplied
or ask your water supplier.
If your water is very hard, we recommend that you use softened
water.
You can only dispense with descaling completely if you
exclusively use softened water. If this is the case, change the
water hardness to "softened".
You can change the water hardness range in the basic settings
