Boiling point detection

The boiling point depends on the air pressure. The
higher the altitude, the lower the air pressure, and also
the boiling point.
When operating for the first time, the appliance
calibrates itself automatically to the correct setting.
Should you move to a different area, the appliance has
to be re-calibrated. During calibration, the appliance is
adjusted to the pressure of the altitude where the
