Accessories / Oven interior
Take all accessories out of the oven.
Wash the accessories in a mild
solution of washing-up liquid and hot
water or in the dishwasher.
The interior of the steam oven has
been treated at the factory with a
conditioning agent.
To remove this, clean the oven
interior with a mild solution of
washing-up liquid and hot water.
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 tap water. Never use
distilled or mineral water or other
liquids.
Remove the water container (on the
right) and fill it up to the maximum
marker.
Push the water container into the
appliance until it connects.
You should then run the Steam cooking
programme at 100°C for
15minutes. Proceed as described in
"Operation: Steam cooking".
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 300m or
more. To do this, descale the appliance
(see "Cleaning and care / Maintenance /
Descaling").
