Steam Oven Cleaning and Maintenance

Important:
Never use abrasives to clean the steam oven.
Remove all traces of cleaners used in the steam oven by
carefully following all instructions for wiping out the oven
and running rinse cycles. Cleaner residues can bond to the
glass in the oven door. They can also adversely affect the
flavor of foods cooked in the steam oven.
Steam Cleaning
Steam cleaning uses steam to help dissolve food residue
and spills in the oven so that they can be easily wiped up.
Steam cleaning includes an exposure phase at
212°F (100°C), a cleaning phase at cooler temperatures,
and two rinse cycles. Steam cleaning requires a total time
of 30 – 35 minutes.
You can start STEAM CLEAN only when the oven is set to
OFF and is completely cooled down. Once steam cleaning
begins, it must go through all phases and cycles.
Cleaning Phase
1. Let the oven cool down and remove any accessories.
2. Using the cleaning sponge provided with the oven (or a
comparable soft sponge or cloth), clean the evaporator
dish.
3. Fill the water tank to MAX.
4. Add a drop of dishwashing liquid to the evaporator
dish.
5. On the display, under the SETTINGS menu, scroll with
the "+/–" buttons to STEAM CLEAN and press
"ENTER". The display will then show START STEAM
CLEAN? YES. Press ENTER again.
Note:
Toggling with the "+/–" buttons gives the option START
STEAM CLEAN? NO. If you press "ENTER" when the
display shows START STEAM CLEAN? NO, the display
returns to the previous menu, showing STEAM CLEAN
under the SETTINGS menu.
6. Press "ENTER" to begin steam cleaning. The display
will show EXPOSURE PHASE on the first line and
exposure time of 10 minutes on the second line. The
display will start counting down from 10:00 to 0:00. The
display will then show CLEANING PHASE and a total
time of 20 minutes. Countdown from 20:00 to 0:00 will
begin.

At the end of the cleaning phase (about 30 minutes), the
countdown will be suspended and a buzzer will sound. The
display will show CLEAN DISH on the first line and PRESS
ENTER BUTTON on the second line. DO NOT pr
First Rinse Cycle
1. Remove the rack rails from the oven and clean
softened food residues from them (see "Cleaning the
Rack Rail Frames" on page 89).
2. Using a soft dishwashing brush and the cleaning
sponge, wipe out the partly dissolved food residues
from the oven and the evaporator dish. Thoroughly
wash out the cleaning sponge.
3. Check the water tank, refill it, and slide it back in.
4. Press "ENTER" to start the first rinse cycle. The
display will show 1ST RINSE on the first line. The
countdown will resume, and after a short time (about
20 seconds), a beep will signal the end of the first
rinse. The display will show CLEAN DISH on the first
line and PRESS ENTER BUTTON on the second line.
5. Using the cleaning sponge, wipe out the evaporator
dish. Thoroughly rinse out the cleaning sponge.
Second Rinse Cycle
1. Press "ENTER" to start the second rinse cycle. The
display will show 2ND RINSE on the first line. The
countdown will resume, and after another 20 seconds a
beep will signal the end of STEAM CLEAN. The display
will show STEAM CLEAN FINISHED on the first line
and CLEAN DISH on the second line.
2. Using the cleaning sponge, wipe any remaining water
from the evaporator dish, and wipe down the oven.
Thoroughly rinse out the cleaning sponge.
3. Using a soft cloth, dry the oven cavity.

Descaling the Steam Oven

Unless you use softened water, you will need to descale
the steam oven at regular intervals. Once you have set
your water hardness level (see page 51), the steam oven
display will automatically inform you when descaling is
needed. Descaling includes an exposure, two descaling
phases, and two rinse cycles, with a total time of 30-35
minutes.
You can start DESCALE only when the oven is set to OFF
and is completely cooled down. Once descaling begins, it
should not be interrupted. It is very important that all rinse
cycles are completed.
