NOTE
• If the steam feeder tank does not slide in as
smoothly as it should, clean the bottom of the
tank.
Hard Water Scale
If hard water is used in the steam feeder tank, the
steam generator may become clogged with hard
water scale. In areas with hard water, run the
Descaling function frequently or use softened
water.

Cleaning Scale on Oven Bottom

To remove mineral deposits that remain on the
oven bottom after using the steam mode, use a
cloth or sponge soaked in vinegar or a weak citric
acid solution. For more stubborn or extensive
scaling, use the Descaling function.
Descaling
Use this function to remove the white deposits
that form after the steam generator is used for a
long period.
The Descaling function runs for 1 hour 43 minutes.
Water will come out of the steam generator while
it is being cleaned.
For instructions on removing and filling the steam
feeder tank, see "Using the Steam Feeder Tank."
Setting Descaling
1
Fill the steam feeder tank with a 20:1 mixture
of water and citric acid. For example, use 4 tsp
of citric acid in 4 1/4 cups water (20 g citric
acid in 1000 ml water).
2
Insert the steam feeder tank into the slot over
the upper oven cavity and push it in until it
clicks into place.
3
Select the UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN and
touch Clean in the Cooking Modes screen.
Touch Steam Maintenance and Descaling in
that order.
4
After 1 hour 43 minutes of descaling, a popup
will appear in the display. Following the
instructions, drain the tank and fill it with
clean water.
5
Insert the tank and start the Rinsing function.
6
Once the Rinsing function is complete, dry the
inside of the oven with a soft cloth. Leave the
oven door open and allow the oven to dry
completely.
NOTE
• The Rinsing function must be completed even if
the Descaling function is canceled.
• If water remains on the oven bottom after
descaling, it can leave a residue after the oven is
used. To remove the residue, see the
instructions under "Cleaning Scale on Oven
Bottom."
• After running the Descaling function, clean the
steam feeder tank.

the steam generator. The function takes a little

empty.

after a steam cooking cycle. Evaporation runs for
12 minutes.
