Descaling - Bosch HSG656XB6A Instruction Manual

Cleaning function
en
This is because the more often the appliance is
cleaned, the longer the self-cleaning surfaces will retain
their cleaning capability. You can clean your appliance
at any time as required using the cleaning function.
Before running the cleaning function
Remove shelves, rails, accessories and ovenware from
the cooking compartment.
Cleaning the cooking compartment floor and the
inside of the appliance door
Remove the worst dirt from the cooking compartment
floor, the inside of the appliance door and the interior
lighting. Otherwise, patches will appear that can no
longer be removed.
Caution!
Do not use oven cleaner on the self-cleaning surfaces.
This will damage the surfaces. If oven cleaner does get
onto these surfaces, dab it off immediately using water
and a sponge cloth. Do not rub the surface and do not
use abrasive cleaning aids.

This is not rust, but residue from food. These spots are

Descaling

To ensure that your appliance continues to operate
correctly, it must be descaled regularly.
Descaling comprises a number of different steps. For
hygiene reasons, the descaling programme must be
run through completely before the appliance is ready
for operation again. In total, the descaling programme
runs for approx. 70–95 minutes.
Descale (approx. 55–70 minutes), then empty and
■
refill the water tank
First rinsing cycle (approx. 9–12 minutes), then
■
empty and refill the water tank
Second rinsing cycle (approx. 9–12 minutes), then
■
empty and dry the water tank
If descaling is interrupted (e.g. due to a power failure or
because the appliance is switched off), you will be
prompted to rinse the appliance twice when you switch
it back on. The appliance cannot be used until the
second rinsing cycle has finished.
The frequency with which the appliance must be
descaled depends on the hardness of the water used.
When only another five or fewer steam-assisted
operations are possible, the appliance reminds you to
descale it with a message on the display. The number
of remaining operations is displayed after the appliance
is switched on. You can therefore prepare for the
descaling in good time.
Starting
Caution!
Risk of damage to the appliance: Only use liquid
■
descalers recommended by us for the descaling
programme. The time the product needs to work
during descaling depends on the type of descaler
used. Other descalers may damage the appliance.
Descaler order no. 311 680
Descaling solution: Do not allow any descaling
■
solution or descaler to come into contact with the
control panel or other surfaces on the appliance.
This damages the surfaces. If this does happen,
remove the descaling solution immediately with
water.
If you have used a steam-assisted operation
immediately before descaling, you must first switch the
appliance off so that the residual water is pumped out
of the evaporator system.
