Setting the water hardness lev‐
el
The water hardness level of the steam
o
ven is set to Hard 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 of‐
ten the steam oven must be descaled.
Che
ck which water hardness level
has been set and, if necessary, set
the correct water hardness (see "Set‐
tings").
Setting the correct boiling
poi
nt for water
Before cooking with the steam oven for
the first time, it must b
e set to the cor‐
rect 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.
This procedure must
be carried out
to ensure efficient functioning of your
appliance.
Run the
Steam cooking pro‐
gramme at 100 °C for 15 minutes.
Proceed as described in "Operation".
Setting the correct boiling point for
wat
er following a house move
If you move house, the appliance will
need t
o be reset for the new altitude if
this differs from the old one by 300 m
or more. To do this, descale the appli‐
ance (see "Cleaning and care - Desca‐
ling").
