Cleaning steam parts
EVEP618
After some time, the water tank can accumulate
mineral deposits. To prevent this from occurring,
empty the water tank after each steam cooking
session and clean the water tank every two to three
months using the following process.
IMPORTANT
During the cleaning procedure, some water
can drip from the steam outlet onto the cavity
of the oven. Put a dripping pan on the shelf
level directly below the steam inlet to prevent
water from falling onto the bottom of the
oven cavity.
Cleaning procedure
1. With oven turned off, fill the water tank with a
cleaning solution of 850mL of water and 50mL
of citric acid. Let sit for approximately
60 minutes.
2. Turn on the oven and set to 'steam cooking'. Set
the temperature to 230°C. After 25 minutes, turn
off the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes.
3. Turn on the oven again and set to 'steam
cooking'. Set the temperature to 180°C. After
10 minutes, turn off the oven and let it cool for
15 minutes. Insert the supplied drain pipe and
empty the tank of remaining water. When tank is
empty, remove the drain pipe.
4. To flush cleaning solution from water tank, refill
the water tank with 850mL fresh water and
empty via the drain pipe.
5. Remove the drain pipe again and clean by hand
in warm water with soap.
6. To prevent build up of calcium deposits it is
recommended to use this procedure every
2-3 months.
Pyrolytic cleaning of the oven cavity
The oven has the Pyrolytic self-cleaning function, it cleans
by burning off the spatters and accumulated dirt and
grease from the oven liner, at high temperature. This
process produces ash which can then be wiped out of the
oven cavity.

WARNING
During the pyrolytic cleaning process the oven
becomes extremely hot.
• Please keep small children at a safe distance.
• Never clean non-stick baking trays and tins in the
oven during the pyrolytic cycle. High temperatures
damage the non-stick coating and poisonous gas
is released.
• Do not put water into the water tank during the
cleaning procedure.
• To prevent damage, do not use acids, sprays or
similar cleaning agents.
CAUTION
During pyrolytic cleaning the air outlet exhaust
above the door must be kept clear of any
obstruction (e.g. bulky tea towels).
Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous items
(e.g. cookware).
If you have a steam oven, do not cause the water
tank to overflow during the cleaning cycle. This
could damage the enamel
Before carrying out the Pyrolytic function
• All accessories must be removed from the oven,
including shelves, trays and side racks.
• Clean large deposits, spills or grease from the
oven cavity.
• If you have a steam oven ensure the water
tank is empty.
• Pyrolitic cleaning can release fumes that are not
harmful to humans, including infants or persons with
medical conditions, however you are strongly advised
to provide good ventilation during and after each
pyrolytic cleaning process.
• Unlike humans, some birds and reptiles can be
extremely sensitive to the potential fumes emitted
during the pyrolytic cleaning process. It is strongly
advised to remove any pets (especially birds) from
the vicinity of the appliance during and after each
pyrolytic cleaning process.
• Small pets can also be highly sensitive to the
localized temperature changes in the vicinity of all
pyrolytic ovens when the pyrolytic self cleaning
program is in operation.
• Pyrolytic cleaning will not remove salt and mineral
residue left in the cavity well when water evaporates.
It is recommended that the residue is cleaned prior
to conducting pyrolytic cleaning cycles. See section
'Cleaning the cavity well'.
