Setting the water hardness
level
The steam oven is set to a
hard
water
hardness level at the factory. It must be
adjusted to the local water hardness
level to ensure that it works correctly
and to ensure that descaling is carried
out at the correct interval. The harder
the water is, the more frequently the
steam oven needs to be descaled.
Check the hardness of your local wa-
ter supply and adjust the setting if ne-
cessary (see “Settings”).
Set the correct boiling point for
water
Before cooking food for the first time,
you must adjust the boiling temperature
of the water, which varies depending on
the altitude of where the steam oven is
located. This procedure also flushes out
the waterways.
This procedure
must
be carried out
to ensure efficient functioning of your
appliance.
Run the steam oven for 15 minutes at
100 °C. Proceed as described in “Op-
eration”.
Setting 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” – “Descaling”).
