7.3 Calibrating and cleaning the appliance
before using it for the first time
Calibrate the appliance and clean the cooking compart-
ment and accessories before using it to prepare food
for the first time.
Note:The boiling point of water depends on the air
pressure. During calibration, the appliance self-adjusts
during the first steam operation to the pressure ratio at
the installation location.
Do not open the appliance door while calibration is in
progress, as this will cancel the calibration process
and it must be restarted.

room temperature.
1. Remove the product information and the accessor-
ies from the cooking compartment. Remove any
leftover packaging, such as polystyrene pellets, and
any adhesive tape that is in or on the appliance.

ment with a soft, damp cloth.
