Setting 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
of the installation location of the appli-
ance. This procedure also flushes out
the waterways.
This procedure
must
be carried out
to ensure efficient functioning of your
appliance.
Only use cold tap water
(less than
68°F / 20°C). Never use distilled or
mineral water or other liquids.
Remove the water container and fill it
to the "max" marker.
Push the water container into the ap-
pliance until it engages.
You should then run the
Steam Cook-
ing
program at 210°F / 100°C for
15 minutes. Proceed as described in
"Operation
‒
Steam cooking."
Resetting the correct boiling point for
water
If you move, the appliance will need to
be re-set for the new altitude if this dif-
fers from the old one by 984 ft (300 m)
or more. To do this, descale the appli-
ance (see "Cleaning and care – Mainte-
nance – Descaling").
Heating up the steam oven
To remove the grease from the ring
heating element, heat the appliance
up with nothing in it at 400°F / 200°C
using the
Convection Bake
func-
tion for 30 minutes.
Proceed as described in "Operation
‒
Functions without steam."
There will be a slight smell the first
time the heating element is heated up.
The smell and any vapors will dissi-
pate after a short time, and do not in-
dicate a faulty connection or appli-
ance.
It is important to ensure that the
kitchen is well ventilated during this
operation.
