Before using for the first time

Setting the correct boiling point for water

The boiling point for water at a high altitude above sea level will be lower than the boiling point for water at sea level. To adjust the boiling point for the altitude in your area, fill the water container with mains tap water (see "Brief operating instructions / Preparing the appliance for use") and then run the Steam cooking / Universal (100 °C) programme for 15 minutes. Proceed as described in "Brief operating instructions".

This procedure sets the correct boiling point for water for the altitude in your area and also flushes out the waterways. Warning! A lot of steam will be emitted from the appliance.

If you move house, the appliance will need to be re-set for the new altitude if this differs from the old one by more than 300 m. To do this, descale the appliance (see "Cleaning and care / Descaling").
