12.4 Cleaning the water tank

WARNING!
Do not put water into the water
tank during the cleaning proce-
dure.
During the cleaning procedure,
some water can drip from the
steam inlet onto the cavity of the
oven. Put a dripping pan on the
shelf level directly below the
steam inlet to prevent water from
falling onto the bottom of the oven
cavity.
After some time, you can have lime de-
posits in your oven. To prevent this, clean
the parts of the oven that generate the
steam. Empty the tank after each steam
cooking.
1. Fill in the water tank with 900 ml of
water and 50 ml of citric acid (five
teaspoons). Deactivate the oven and
wait for approximately 60 minutes.
2.
Activate the oven and set the True
Fan + Steam function. Set the tem-
perature 230 °C. Deactivate it after 25
minutes and let it cool down for 15
minutes.

Types of water
• Soft water with low lime content -
the manufacturer recommends this be-
cause it decreases the quantity of
cleaning procedures.
• Tap water - you can use it if your do-
mestic water supply has purifier or wa-
ter sweetener.
• Hard water with high lime content -
it does not have an effect on the per-
formance of the appliance but it increa-
ses the quantity of cleaning proce-
dures.
