Water Hardness setting
The appliance features a system that automatically indicates when it is time to descale.
The system can be optimised for households with very soft water (also through using a
water softening appliance) and very hard water, by changing the user settings to the
relevant range of water hardness (see table below).
To set the water hardness parameter, proceed as follows:
• To set the the water hardness please press the Confirmation key and the Cancel
key for 1 second. The hardness number will start to flash on the Descale display (not
necessary if your Steam oven is first plugged in or after a power failure).
• Press the ‘‘+’’ and ‘‘-’’ keys , to set the correct water hardness parameter value,
according to the below table.
• Confirm the selection with the confirmation key . (The Descale display switches off).
• A test strip is included inside the oven to measure the water hardness. Diep briefly (1
second) the test strip in water and shake off excess water. After 1 minute compare
with the gauge scale printed in the test strip packaging.
