When the pyrolytic cleaning
starts, the appliance door is
locked.
To stop the pyrolytic cleaning
before it is completed,
deactivate the appliance.
WARNING!
After the function is
completed, the appliance is
very hot. Let it cool down.
There is a risk of burns.
After the function is
completed, the door stays
locked for the cool down
phase. Some of the appliance
functions are not available
during the cool down phase.
12.5 Cleaning the water tank
WARNING!
Do not put water into the
water tank during the
cleaning procedure.
During the cleaning
procedure, some water can
drip from the steam inlet onto
the cavity of the oven. Put a
dripping pan on the shelf level
directly below the steam inlet
to prevent water from falling
onto the bottom of the oven
cavity.
After some time, you can have lime
deposits in your oven. To prevent this,
clean the parts of the oven that generate
the steam. Empty the tank after each
steam cooking.
Types of water
• Soft water with low lime content -
the manufacturer recommends this
because it decreases the quantity of
cleaning procedures.
• Tap water - you can use it if your
domestic water supply has purifier or
water sweetener.
• Hard water with high lime content -
it does not have an effect on the
performance of the appliance but it
increases the quantity of cleaning
procedures.
