Descale You will need to descale the steam oven at regular intervals. Once you have set your water hardness level (see page 63), the steam oven display will automatically inform you when descaling is needed. Water hardness Operation hour counter 1 - softened 2 - soft 3 - medium 4 - hard 5 - very hard Unlimited, no message 400 hours 200 hours 100 hours 70 hours If the number of hours of operation is exceeded, the "descale needed" message will be displayed each time when a new heating mode is selected. Select enter to continue. After the descaling operation is finished, the operation hour counter will be reset and the message will no longer be displayed.

Acidic foods, such as citrus juices, tomatoes, rhubarb, vinegar, alcohol or milk, should be wiped up and not allowed to bake onto the porcelain during the next use. • The heating elements in the oven do not require cleaning. The elements burn themselves clean when the oven is in use. When cleaning this appliance: • Use the mildest cleaning procedure that will do the job efficiently and effectively. Some cleaners of the same type are harsher than others. Try on a small inconspicuous area first. • Always rub metal finishes in the direction of the polish lines for maximum effectiveness and to avoid marring the surface. • Use only clean soft cloths, sponges, paper towels, fibrous brushes, plastic, non-metal or steel wool soap pads for cleaning and scouring, as recommended on the chart. • Most exterior parts of this appliance can be cleaned with hot sudsy water (except the various items specifically identified otherwise). When rinsing is required, rinse thoroughly. • Always wipe dry immediately to avoid water marks. • DO NOT USE CHLORINE BASED CLEANERS. Page. 87
