Before using for the first time Setting the correct boiling point for water Before cooking food for the first time, you must set the boiling point for water, as this varies depending on the altitude of the installation location of the appliance. This procedure also flushes out the waterways. This procedure must be carried out to ensure efficient functioning of your appliance. Only use cold tap water (less than 68°F / 20°C). Never use distilled or mineral water or other liquids.  Remove the water container and fill it to the "max" marker.  Push the water container into the appliance until it engages.  You should then run the Steam Cooking  program at 210°F / 100°C for 15 minutes. Proceed as described in "Operation ‒ Steam cooking." Heating up the steam oven  To remove the grease from the ring heating element, heat the appliance up with nothing in it at 400°F / 200°C using the Convection Bake  function for 30 minutes. Proceed as described in "Operation ‒ Functions without steam." There will be a slight smell the first time the heating element is heated up. The smell and any vapors will dissipate after a short time, and do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance. It is important to ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated during this operation. Resetting the correct boiling point for water If you move, the appliance will need to be re-set for the new altitude if this differs from the old one by 984 ft (300 m) or more. To do this, descale the appliance (see "Cleaning and care - Maintenance - Descaling"). 34
