Setting the water hardness
If your water hardness level differs from
the factory setting you will need to
reprogram the appliance.
The appliance is factory set to:
8 - 14 gr/gal.
Use the supplied test strip to check
your water hardness level or call your
local water supplier for the water
hardness in your area.

^ Touch the "On/Off" control.
^ Select "more" until "Settings J..."
shows in the list.
^ Select "Settings J...".
^ Select "Water hardness".
^ Set the water hardness by touching
the "Softer" or Harder" control.
^ Select "OK" to confirm the setting.
Setting the altitude
This process rinses the water lines and
sets the unit to the water boiling
temperature which varies depending on
the altitude in your area.
^ Take the steam generator from the
appliance and take the insert out, see
"Cleaning and Care".
^ Rinse the steam generator and insert
with hot water. Do not use any soap.
Do not wash the steam generator or
the insert in a dishwasher!
Do not submerge the steam
generator in water!
^ Start the cooking program "Custom"
212°F (100°C) for 15 minutes.
Proceed as described in "Using the
steam oven".
When relocating to a new area, reset
the unit’s water boiling temperature by
descaling the appliance. See "Cleaning
and Care" for more information.
Setting the altitude for the first time and
after relocation will produce more
steam than usual. This is not a fault.
