The temperature at which the water will boil depends on the air pressure. During
calibration, the appliance is adjusted to the pressure conditions in the area where
it has been installed. This takes place automatically the first time steam is used at
210 °F (100 °C). More steam than usual will be produced during calibration.
To ensure that the appliance will automatically adjust to the new location, reset the
appliance to its factory settings (see Basic Settings).
