7. ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR STEAM OVENS
7.1 General instructions
The hardness of the water used in the oven water reservoir for steaming
must not exceed 10-11°F. Use natural mineral water, or tap water that
has been treated with a water purification or softening system.
Water line connection
Connect the water intake valve on the back to the water supply using a
hose with a ¾ gas thread, making sure that the connections are secured
tightly.
If the water hose is new or has not been used for a long period of time,
run the water to ensure that the water is clear and free of impurities
before you connect it. This is a precautionary measure serving to avoid
the risk of the water causing blockage and thus damaging the appliance.
You are advised to supply the oven with a water pressure ranging
between a minimum of 50 KPa and a maximum of 500 KPa.
7.2 Description of the controls
