IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS DRAIN WATER FUNCTION Perform the Drain Water function at least once a day after cooking with steam. It takes up to 7 minutes. Drain Water function is very useful to prevent scale build up and the use of stale water. It causes evaporation of the internal steam system. PROCEDURE 1 Remove the water tank. Ensure that no food is in the oven. Press Info/Timer and number 1 to select "In F1". 2 Press Minute Plus/START. "In F1" will flash on and off in the display during the Drain Water function. 3 When the drain function has ended and the oven is cool, wipe oven cavity. Empty the drip tray. NOTES: 1. The water tank must be removed before starting this procedure. 2. If Drain Water Function is set, Energy Save Mode will be cancelled temporary. DESCALE FUNCTION White or gray grains, also called scale, may form in the water circuit inside the oven during steam generation, which could cause the oven to malfunction. When "DESCALE (flashing)" is shown in the display, be sure to carry out Descale function immediately. It takes about 1 hour. (The descaling using citric acid or lemon juice is for about 30 minutes, and then rinsing with fresh water is for about 30 minutes.) PROCEDURE 1 Pure citric acid, available at some drugstores, or bottled 100% lemon juice with no pulp are used for descaling. Choose one and prepare the descaling solution. To use pure citric acid, dissolve 1 tablespoon of pure citric acid crystals in 2 cups of water in a non-porous container. Stir well and pour into the water tank to the MAX mark. To use 100% bottled lemon juice, check that there is absolutely no pulp in it. If there is pulp or you are not sure, strain through a fine strainer. Measure 1/3 cup of the strained lemon juice and add it to 2 cups of water. Stir well and pour into the water tank to the MAX mark. Place the water tank in the oven correctly and push firmly into place. 2 Press Info/Timer and number 2 to select "In F2". 3 Place the glass tray in lower position (position 2). Slide tray toward back wall of oven until it stops. 4 Do not place any food in the oven. Close the door firmly. Press Minute Plus/START to begin descaling. (about 30 min.) 5 When the oven has stopped and is cool, remove water tank, empty, rinse and refill with fresh cold tap water to the MAX mark. Replace the water tank. Empty the drip tray and replace it. Remove glass tray, empty, rinse and dry. Follow step 3 to replace glass tray. Close the door firmly. Press Minute Plus/START. Rinsing will start. (about 30 min.) 6 When rinsing has ended and the oven is cool, remove water tank and empty. Remove glass tray and empty. Wipe oven cavity to dry. Empty the drip tray. NOTE: If Descale Function is set, Energy Save Mode will be cancelled temporary. 16
