Automatic calibration
The temperature at which water boils depends on the air
pressure, which is lower at higher elevations. 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). More steam than usual will be produced
during calibration.
After moving, to ensure that the steam oven automatically
adjusts to your new location, reset the range to its factory
settings and re-test water hardness.
Before using for the first time
Set the water hardness level
To set the water hardness level
1. Determine the hardness of your tap water by using
test strips (not provided) or by asking your water utility
company.
2. Press SETTINGS.
3. Press the left ( or ), select WATER HARDNESS, and
press ENTER.
4. Press the right ( or ) and press ENTER when the arrow
points to the hardness level for your water. The factory
setting is 3.
1 = Softened
2 = Soft
3 = Average
4 = Hard
5 = Very Hard
If you move or if your water source changes, you will need
to reset the water hardness value.
Steam oven settings
Several oven features can be adjusted by selecting the
settings menu on the display screen. Many of these
features can be adjusted when the oven is first installed or
after a move to a new location.
To adjust the oven settings
1. Press SETTINGS.
2. Press the right ( or ) and press ENTER to adjust any of
the following settings:
–Country code
– Temperature units
– Weight units
– Calibration
– Water hardness
–Descale
– Steam clean
– Factory reset
Clean the oven using the steam mode
Before using the steam oven for the first time, heat it once
while it is empty:
1. Fill and slide in the water tank.
2. Turn the mode knob to STEAM and press ENTER.
3. Press the right ( or ) and set the cooking time for 20
minutes.
4. Once completed, leave the door cracked open until
the oven cools.
This initial cleaning will also calibrate the steam oven to
the air pressure at your location. Calibration produces
more steam than ordinary use.
Operating the steam oven
Using seven of the eight modes available in your steam
oven requires similar steps. Using a steam program is
somewhat different and is described separately starting
on page 77.
Setting the steam oven
To operate the steam oven
1. Place food in steam oven before preheat unless using
slow cook or true convection modes. In slow cook or
true convection modes place food in oven after steam
oven has been preheated.
– Food needs to be in the oven during preheat for
steam modes because if the door is opened to put
food inside after the preheat cycle then the steam
will leave the cavity, lowering the temperature,
which may cause the food to be undercooked.
2. Turn the mode ring to the desired heating mode.
