time
B or e usi ng f or t he f i r st time
Before you can use your new appliance, you must
make some settings. You must also clean the cooking
compartment and accessories.
Before using for the first time
Before using the appliance for the first time, ask your
water supplier about the hardness of your tap water.
To ensure that the appliance can reliably remind you to
descale it when required, you must set your water
hardness range correctly.
Caution!
■The appliance may become damaged due to the
use of unsuitable liquids.
Do not use distilled water, highly chlorinated tap
water (>40 mg/l) or other liquids.
Only use cold, fresh tap water, softened water or
non-carbonated mineral water.
■Malfunctions may occur when using filtered or
demineralised water.
The appliance may request that you top up the water
tank even though it may be full, or operation with
steam is cancelled after approx. two minutes.
If required, mix filtered or demineralised water with
the bottled non-carbonated mineral water with a ratio
of one to one.
Notes
■If your water is very hard, we recommend that you
use softened water.
■If you only use softened water, you can set the water
hardness range to "softened".
■If you use mineral water, set the water hardness
range to "4 very hard".
■If you use mineral water, you must only use non-
carbonated mineral water.
Initial use
After connecting the appliance to the power or following
a power cut, the settings for initial use are shown on the
display. It may take a few seconds for the instruction to
appear.
Note: You can change these settings at any time in the
basic settings. ~ "Basic settings" on page 23
With HomeConnect
You can apply the initial settings on the appliance or
with Home Connect on your mobile device.
1. Touch the "With Home Connect" text field.
2. Follow the instructions in the "Home Connect"
section.~ "Home Connect" on page 24

The clock starts at "12:00".
1. Touch the "Clock" text field.
2. Set the clock using the rotary selector.
3. Touch the next text field to confirm.
The next setting appears.
Setting the water hardness
The default water hardness setting is "very hard".
1. Use the rotary selector to set the water hardness.
2. Touch the "Complete the settings" text field to
confirm.
A note appears in the display confirming that the initial
use has been completed.
Switch the appliance off using the ÿ On/Off button if
you do not need to use it.
Calibrating the appliance and cleaning the
cooking compartment
The boiling point of water depends on the air pressure.
During calibration, the appliance self-adjusts to the
pressure ratio at the installation location. This will
happen automatically the first time steam-assisted
cooking is used. This produces a lot of steam.
Preparing the appliance for calibration
1. Remove the accessories from the cooking
compartment.
2. Remove any leftover packaging, such as polystyrene
pellets, from the cooking compartment.
3. Before calibrating the appliance, wipe the smooth
surfaces in the cooking compartment with a soft,
damp cloth.
Calibrating the appliance and cleaning the cooking
compartment

■Calibration cannot be started until the cooking
compartment is cold (room temperature).
■Do not open the appliance door while calibration is
in progress, as this will abort the calibration process.
1. Press the on/off button ÿ to switch on the
appliance.
2. Fill the water tank. ~ "Filling the water tank"

Notes
■When relocating the appliance, restore its factory
settings once it is installed so that it can adapt to its
new location. Repeat the procedures for initial start-
up and calibration.
■The appliance retains the calibration settings, even
in the event of a power cut or disconnection from the
mains. Calibration does not need to be repeated.
Cleaning the accessories
Clean the accessories thoroughly using soapy water
and a dish cloth or soft brush.
