Before using for the first time Setting the water hardness level For the steam oven to function properly, the water hardness level must be programmed into the unit. You can use the supplied test strip to check your water hardness level or your local water company can tell you the water hardness of your area.
Before using for the first time Setting the altitude The steam oven must be run through the DESCALE k program before the first use to set the unit for the altitude in your area. If this is not done, too much steam will be released from the appliance during use. Do not turn the program selector during this period or the descaling program will have to be restarted.
Before using for the first time When the time has elapsed you will see the following display: ^ Remove, empty and thoroughly dry the water container. ^ Wipe out the oven interior with an absorbent cloth.
