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. The steam oven is preset to water hardness level IV (4). If your water is softer than 21 gr/gal the setting should be adjusted. Please check that the program selector is at "0". ^ Press and hold the ­ button while turning the program selector to DESCALE k. 4 1 will appear in the display. The water hardness is shown as settings I to IV, equivalent to the following values: Setting I II III IV Display 1 2 3 4 gr/gal 1-7 8-14 15-21 >21 ppm <20-130 140-250 270-380 >380 The 1 represents the program number. The 4 represents the water hardness level. ^ Press ­ or + to select the level III (3), II (2) or I (1) corresponding to your water hardness. The selected water hardness level will be stored in memory as soon as the program selector is turned to another position. 13 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. ^ Fill the water container with a quart (1 l) of water (do not add descaling agent), place in the appliance and close the door. ^ Select DESCALE k using the program selector. The following will be displayed: Do not turn the program selector during this period or the descaling program will have to be restarted. A tone will sound when there are 8 minutes remaining and the following will alternate in the display: ^ Empty the water container, refill it with another quart (1 l) of fresh water, and close the door. ^ Press Start. The above procedure must be repeated two more times when the tone sounds. Do not be alarmed at the amount of steam emitted. ^ Press Start. The time will count down from 33 minutes as shown in the display. 14 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. Remember to wipe down the vent and the drip channel. ^ Leave the door open until the moisture in the cooking compartment has evaporated. ^ Turn the program selector to "0". ^ Wait until the oven has pumped the residual water back into the water container, then open the door. ,Hot steam will escape when the door is opened. 15 Before using for the first time Changing the temperature display The display is set to show the temperatures in °F but it can be programmed to show °C.
