Set the water hardness level
The steam oven is set ex-works for
Hard
water. It must be adjusted to local water
hardness to ensure trouble-free
operation and to ensure that descaling
is carried out at the correct interval. The
harder the water, the more often it will
need to be descaled.
Check the hardness of your local
water supply and adjust the water
hardness as necessary (see "Settings
- Water hardness").
Set the correct boiling point for
water
Before cooking food for the first time,
you must set the boiling point for water,
as this varies depending on the altitude
the appliance is located at. This
procedure also flushes out the
waterways.
This procedure
must
be carried out
to ensure efficient functioning of your
appliance.
Only use cold mains tap water
(less than 20 °C). Never use distilled
or mineral water or other liquids.
Remove the water container and fill it
up to the maximum marker.
Push the water container into the
appliance until it connects.
Run the
Steam cooking
programme at 100 °C for 15 minutes.
Proceed as described in "Steam
cooking: Operation".
Set the correct boiling point for water
following a house move
If you move house, the appliance will
need to be re-set for the new altitude if
this differs from the old one by 300 m or
more. To do this, descale the appliance
(see "Cleaning and care / Maintenance /
Descaling").
