Water hardness
The combination steam oven must be adjusted to the local water hardness level to
ensure that it works correctly and to ensure that descaling is carried out at the
correct interval. The harder the water is, the more frequently the combination
steam oven needs to be descaled. Contact your local water supplier to find out the
water hardness in your area.
If you are using an on-site water softener, match the setting on the combination
steam oven to the value set on the water softener.
If you are using an on-site system to fully demineralise the water (e.g. a reverse
osmosis system), the system must be set so the conductivity of the treated water
is at least 100 μS/cm. In the case of most water qualities, this can be achieved by
setting a water hardness of at least 3 °dH rather than fully demineralising the water.
The conductivity is required for the fill level detection in the steam generator. Match
the setting on the combination steam oven to the value set on the full
demineralisation system.
If you are using bottled water, it must comply with the relevant national
regulations for drinking water quality. Do not use mineral water or carbonated
water. Adjust the setting on the combination steam oven depending on the
calcium content. The calcium content is specified on the label of the bottle in
