Perform the Drain Water function at least once a day after cooking with steam. It takes up to 7 minutes.

The Drain Water Function helps prevent scale build up and removes left over water.

1. Remove the water tank. Ensure that no food is in the oven. Press INFO/KITCHEN TIMER key once to select In F1.

2. Press START/AUTO MINUTE key. In F1 will fl ash on and off in the display during the Drain Water function.

3. When the drain function has ended and the oven is cool, wipe the oven cavity. Wait a few minutes, then empty the drip tray.

2) If Drain Water Function is set, Energy Save Mode will be cancelled temporary.

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 malfunc-
tion. When “DESCALE (flashing)” is shown in the display, be sure to carry out Descale function immediately. It takes about 1 hour (for descaling using
citric acid is for about 30 min. The rinse time is approx. 30 min.).

1. Pure citric acid, available at some chemists, or bottled 100% lemon juice with no pulp are used for descaling. Choose one and prepare the descal-

ing solution.

To use pure citric acid, dissolve 1 tablespoon of pure citric acid crystals in 500ml 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 70ml of the strained lemon juice and add it to 500ml 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/KITCHEN TIMER key twice to select In F2.

4. Do not place any food in the oven. Close the door firmly. Press START/AUTO MINUTE key to begin descaling (for about 30 min.).

5. When the oven has stopped and is cool, remove water tank, empty, rinse and refill with room temperature drinking water to the MAX mark.

Replace the water tank. Empty the drip tray and replace it.

Remove the glass tray, empty, rinse and dry. Follow step 3 to replace the glass tray. Close the door firmly.

Press START/AUTO MINUTE. Rinsing will start (for about 30 min.).

6. When rinsing has ended and the oven is cool, remove water tank and empty. Remove the glass tray and empty. 

Wipe oven cavity to dry. Wait a few minutes and then empty the drip tray.

NOTE: If Descale Function is set, Energy Save Mode will be cancelled temporary.
