Convection Steam Oven Care

Running the Descale Program
Limescale deposits are a natural result of steam creation
and will slowly build up inside of the external boiler and
water lines.
The oven removes any guesswork and tells you when it is
time to run the descale program. ‘Boiler scaled up—
please descale!’ appears in the text display. We recom-
mend that you run the descale program whenever the
message appears. Failure to descale appropriately will
cause damage and impair function.
Descaling takes about 45 minutes.
How often the oven notifies you to run the descale
program is based on the water hardness that you speci-
fied when you personalized your settings. If you do not
specify a hardness, the default setting is Hard.
Using steam four times a week for 30 minutes, the oven
recommends descaling every 6–18 months. Refer to the
chart below.
If you are unsure about the hardness of your cold tap
water, test strips may be purchased at a local home
improvement center.
Operating time remaining for steaming until the next
descaling is determined by pressing the control knob, and
turning to ‘User settings—Descaling’.
