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 
All oven knobs and controls are located on the side panels.
