Cleaning And Maintenance; Decalcification - Cuisinart CSO-300N Instruction And Recipe Booklet

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always allow the oven to cool completely before cleaning.
1. Always unplug the oven from the electrical outlet.
2. When cleaning the exterior, do not use abrasive cleaners, as they will
damage the finish. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth and
dry thoroughly.
3. Press the Steam Clean button. Once cycle is complete (45 minutes), wipe
interior with a cloth or sponge. DO NOT use harsh abrasives or corrosive
products, which could damage the oven wall surface.
4. To remove excess liquid, slide out the drip tray and discard contents.
Wipe clean or place in top rack of dishwasher. To remove baked-on
grease, soak the tray in hot, sudsy water or use nonabrasive cleaners.
Never operate the oven without the drip tray in place.
5. The oven rack, baking pan, broiling rack, and crumb tray are dishwasher
safe. If heavily soiled, soak in hot, sudsy water or use a nylon scouring
pad or nylon brush.
6. Rinse water reservoir in hot, sudsy water. Dry well.
7. Never wrap the cord around the outside of the oven. Use the cord
storage tabs on the back of the oven.
8. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service
representative.
Note: If oven is not in use for more than 1 month, fill water reservoir and
run oven on Steam function at 210˚F for 60 minutes before using.

Decalcification

Decalcification refers to the removal of calcium deposits that form over
time. These deposits can cause damage to the machine. For best
performance from your Combo Steam + Convection Oven, decalcify
annually for average use and twice a year for heavy use.
To decalcify:
Remove the reservoir from the unit and empty it completely. Set oven to the
Steam function at 210˚F for 30 minutes. Press the Start/Cancel button and
let the oven run until the "Add water" alert sounds.
While the unit is running, add 1 cup of water and 1 cup of distilled white
vinegar to the reservoir. When the "Add water" alert sounds, return reservoir
to the unit. Wait 30 seconds and press the program button to reset the
Steam function at 210˚F for 75 minutes. Press the Start/Cancel button and
let the oven run until the "Add water" alert sounds.
Remove the reservoir and rinse out with fresh, clean water. Fill the reservoir
halfway with clean water. Return the reservoir to the unit. Wait 30 seconds
and press the program button. Oven will resume from the point at which the
cycle was interrupted. Let the oven run until the "Add water" alert sounds or
the timer runs out.
How to Drain the Internal Water Tank
Your steam oven is equipped with a water drain so you can empty the
internal water tank. The drain outlet is at the rear of the oven. We
recommend that you drain the tank when you do not plan to use your oven
for an extended period of time. You should drain the tank at the end of each
decalcification process.
To drain the tank, follow these steps:
• Remove the external water reservoir from the oven by lifting it
vertically using the handle.
• Position a tray, short bowl or other container under the rear drain to
catch the water.
Turn the cap counter-clockwise to remove the cap and open the drain.
Open the drain slowly to ensure you catch the water in your container.
Tilt the oven back slightly as necessary to empty all of the water from the
tank.
