Setting the water hardness
The steam oven is set at the factory to
water hardness setting IV (Very hard 4).
If your water hardness level differs from
this, you will need to re-programme the
appliance.
You can use the test strip supplied to
check the water hardness level, or your
local water supplier will be able to
advise you on the water hardness of
your area.
The water hardness is shown as
settings I to IV equivalent to the
German scale 1 to >21 °dH (0.2 >3.8
mmol/l).
