operation. Once started, the Descaling operation cannot be
aborted. The appliance will not operate again until after the
first and second rinse cycle to ensure that no cleaning
agent remains inside.
Note:
If you use softened water, you will not need to descale the
steam oven.
WATER HARDNESS: The hardness of the tap or bottled
water (NEVER distilled water) you put in the water tank
should be determined and entered with this setting when
the appliance is installed. As explained on page 7, you may
either use water hardness strips or contact your local water
utility to find out the hardness of your tap water.
If you move or if your water source changes, you will need
to reset the water hardness value.
CALIBRATE: The boiling point depends on the air
pressure. The higher the altitude, the lower the air
pressure, and also the boiling point. The steam oven
automatically calibrates to adjust to the pressure conditions
in your area the first time steam is used at 212°F (100°C).
