Setting the water hardness level
The water hardness of the steam oven is set to hard (S03) at
the factory. For trouble-free operation of the steam oven, and
to ensure that it is descaled at the appropriate time, it is
important to set the water hardness level for your area. The
harder the water, the more often the appliance must be
descaled.
^
Check which water hardness level has been set and, if
necessary, set the correct water hardness (see "Settings").
Setting the correct boiling point for water
Before cooking with the steam oven for the first time, it must
be set to the correct boiling point for water in your area. This
is determined by the altitude at which you live. This
procedure also flushes out the water pipework.
To ensure trouble-free operation of your appliance, this
procedure must be carried out.
^ Operate the appliance at 100 °C for 15 minutes. Proceed
as described in "Operation principles".
If you move house, the appliance will need to be reset for a
new altitude if this differs from the old one by more than
300 m. To do this, descale the appliance (see "Cleaning and
care > Descaling").
