set it to this value using the "+/–" buttons for the number
scale. If you move or if your water source changes, you will
need to reset the water hardness value.
DESCALE: Your steam oven will need to be descaled (or
decalcified) at regular intervals to remove the calcium and
magnesium deposits from the water heated to make steam.
Once the water hardness is set, the steam oven display will
automatically alert you when descaling is required.
Note:
If you use softened water, you will not need to descale the
steam oven.
Detailed instructions for descaling the steam oven are
provided in the "Care and Maintenance" section of this
manual starting on page 79. The oven cannot be used for
any other purpose while descaling is in progress.
STEAM CLEAN: You may use steam to dissolve food
residues and spills so that they can be easily wiped up.
Running the STEAM CLEAN cycle takes 30 – 35 minutes,
and the oven cannot be used for any other purpose while
steam cleaning is underway. Detailed instructions for steam
cleaning the oven are provided in the "Care and
Maintenance" section of this manual starting on page 79.
FACTORY RESET: This feature will restore all settings to
