Implement the settings for the initial configuration. Calibrate the appliance. Clean the appliance and accessories.
7.1 Determining the water hardness before switching on the appliance for the first time
Before using the appliance for the first time, ask your
water supplier about the hardness of your tap water. To
ensure that the appliance can reliably remind you to
descale it when required, you must set your water hard-
ness range correctly.
ATTENTION!
If the wrong water hardness has been set, the appli-
ance cannot remind you to descale it at the right time.
▶
Set the water hardness correctly.
Using unsuitable liquids may damage the appliance.
▶
Do not use distilled water, highly chlorinated tap wa-
ter (>40 mg/l) or other liquids.
▶
Only use cold, fresh tap water, softened water or
non-carbonated mineral water.

7.3 Calibrating and cleaning the appliance
before using it for the first time
To ensure that the appliance is automatically calib-
rated, allow the appliance to run empty in steam opera-
tion. Before using the appliance to cook food for the
first time, you must clean the cooking compartment
and accessories.
Note: The boiling point of water depends on the air
pressure. During the calibration process, the appliance
makes adjustments to adapt to the pressure conditions
in the location where it is installed.
Do not open the appliance door while calibration is in
progress, as this will cancel the calibration process.
Requirement: The cooking compartment is cold or at
room temperature.
