12 CARE AND MAINTENANCE
12.1 Descaling
Whenever steam is produced, irrespective of the hardness of the local
water supply (i.e. the limescale content of the water), limescale is
deposited inside the steam generator.
The time interval between descaling depends on the hardness of the water
and frequency of use. If steaming 4×30 minutes per week, the appliance
must be descaled (depending on water hardness) roughly as follows:
WATER HARDNESS
LEVEL NO.
DESCALE AFTER ABOUT
VERY SOFT
SOFT
18 MONTHS
MEDIUM
MED
9 MONTHS
VERY HARD
HARD
6 MONTHS
The appliance automatically detects when descaling is necessary and
when this happens the Descale light turn on. If the Descaling procedure is
not performed, some cooking cycles after the Descale light starts to flash.
If once again the Descaling procedure is not performed, some cooking
cycles after the oven functioning is blocked, the Descale light stays on and
the display shows “CAL” blinking. The oven keep being blocked until the
descale procedure is performed
To run a descale cycle proceed as described in 10.3.2 Descale
function.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Failure to descale the appliance will likely impair
the functioning of or cause damage to the appliance.
12.2 Suitable descaling solutions
For descaling use suitable solution, as Durgol or liquid coffee machine
descaling solutions for example. Solutions containing foam agents are not
appropriate.
Warning! Do not use vinegar or vinegar-based products as they can
cause damage to the oven’s internal circuit.
12.3 Descaling Process
Please see point 10.3.2
12.4 Cleaning the oven
The steam oven cavity and front surface must be cleaned after each use.
All food remains and condensed water must be removed (see section on
Oven Cleaning). If the steam oven is not kept clean its surface may
deteriorate
and this may shorten the oven’s working life.
For ease of cleaning, the shelf guides can be removed (see the following
chapter).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Don’t wash the water tank in the dishwasher
machine.
