Note:
Marks may appear on the self-cleaning sur-
faces. Residues of sugar and egg white in the food
are not removed and stick to the surfaces. Red
stains are residues from salty food – they are not
rust. The stains are not hazardous to health. These
marks do not impair the cleaning ability of the self-
cleaning surfaces.
10. Attach the shelf supports.

19 Descaling
To ensure that your appliance continues to operate cor-
rectly, it must be descaled regularly.
How frequently you need to run the descaling pro-
gramme will depend on the water hardness and how
many times you have used the steam function. The ap-
pliance indicates when only another five or fewer
steam-assisted operations are possible. If you do not
carry out the descaling, you can no longer set any op-
eration with steam.
Descaling comprises several steps and takes approx.
70–95 minutes:
¡
Descaling (approx. 55–70 minutes)
¡
First rinse cycle (approx. 9–12 minutes)
¡
Second rinse cycle (approx. 9–12 minutes)
For reasons of hygiene, the descaling programme must
be run in full.
