Set the correct boiling point for water
Heating up the appliance
Before cooking food for the first time, you must set the boiling
point for water, as this varies according to the altitude of the
location of the appliance. This procedure also flushes out the
waterways.
This procedure must be carried out to ensure efficient
functioning of your appliance.
^ Run the appliance using steam cooking (100 °C) for
15 minutes. Proceed as described in "Operating
principles".
If you move house, the appliance will need to be re-set for
the new altitude if this differs from the old one by 300 m or
more. To do this, descale the appliance (see "Cleaning and
care / Descaling").
To remove the grease from the ring heating element, heat the
appliance up with nothing in it at 200 °C using the Fan plus
function for 30 minutes. Proceed as described in "Operation".
There will be a slight smell the first time the heating element is
heated up.
The smell and any vapours will dissipate after a short time,
and do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance. It is
important to ensure that the room is well ventilated during this
procedure.
