Maintenance

Deliming

WARNING!!

Deliming solutions are hazardous and can cause burns to the skin and eyes. Wear protective clothing and eyewear when decalcifying your appliance.

Deliming of the steam generator is the single most important preventative maintenance task. Lime will build up inside the steam generator, reducing efficiency and causing damage to the level control system.

WARNING!!

Problems caused by insufficient deliming are not covered by the warranty.

This oven comes equipped with a Delime lamp to indicate when the steam generator needs to be delimed. The Delime lamp will flash when the steam generator has been run for the preset inter- val. The flashing Delime lamp does not impede the operation of the oven, as you can use the oven normally when the lap is flashing. You may choose the best time to start the deliming process.

NOTE: To further prevent buildup of scale, this oven will automatically drain the steam generator after 5 hours of being in the off mode.

WARNING!!

If the oven is hot, it must be placed in the cool down mode for 1 minute with the door open prior to starting the deliming process. Once the process has been started, the oven cannot be used until the process is complete. The total process time is approximately 45 minutes.
