Steam Feeder Tank
The steam feeder tank is used during the steam
cooking functions. Use filtered, softened water if
possible.

•
After using the steam function, the steam feeder
tank should be drained. To avoid bacteria or
odours, clean and dry the steam feeder tank
after every use.

Hard Water Scale
If hard water is used in the steam feeder tank,
the steam generator may become clogged with
hard water scale. In areas with hard water, run the
Descaling function frequently or use softened water.
Cleaning Scale on Oven
Bottom
To remove mineral deposits that remain on the oven
bottom after using the steam mode, use a cloth
or sponge soaked in vinegar or a weak citric acid
solution. For more stubborn or extensive scaling, use
the Descaling function.

Use this function to remove the white deposits that
form after the steam generator is used for a long
period.
The Descaling function runs for 65 minutes. Water
will come out of the steam generator while it is being
cleaned.

feeder tank, see "Using the Steam Feeder Tank."
