•
If mineral deposits remain on the oven bottom
after steam mode, use a cloth or sponge
soaked in vinegar or a weak citric acid solution
to remove them before using the steam mode
again. See the Maintenance section under
Descaling for more info. To remove stubborn
hard water scale, use the Descaling function.

Wipe away excess water left over after cooling.

To avoid damage and extend product life,
descale the steam feeder after every 8 hours of
use, or more often if needed.

After the steam mode is used for 8 hours, a
reminder to descale the product appears in

avoid this delay, run the Descaling function
after every 2-3 uses of the steam mode.
