Steam Generator Periodical Maintenance - Electrolux 6 GN 1/1 Installation, Utilisation Et Entretien

To facilitate oven compartment cleaning, remove the rack trolley
guides from the bottom of the oven and open the suction wall.
• To open the oven compartment suction wall A (Fig. 2) proceed
as follows:
- switch the oven off and disconnect the power to the appliance;
- insert the tip of a screwdriver in slot B and prise (1) inwards to
open the wall, unhooking it from the pegs B1 at the back.
If required, completely remove suction wall:
- unscrew (2) nut C1 with a hexagon wrench.
- lift (3) the suction wall and remove it (4) from the bottom pin C
of the oven compartment;
- lower (5) the wall to release it from the top pin D and completely
remove it (6).
To refi t the wall, repeat the steps in reverse order and retighten
nut C1.
• If present, clean the oven compartment grease fi lter (not sup-
plied) at least every three cooking cycles.
• If present, clean the air fi lter (not supplied) at least once a
month, removing it from under the control panel.
Non-compliance with the above will result in fi lter ineffi ciency and
produce anomalous effects in cooking.
• Clean the stainless steel parts every day using lukewarm soapy
water, rinsing with plenty of water and drying thoroughly.
• Do not clean the stainless steel with steel wool, brushes or
scrapers in common steel, as they could deposit ferrous particles
which oxidise, causing rust spots.
• Whenever the appliance is not used for long periods:
- Disconnect the power supply and close the water cocks;
- go over all steel surfaces vigorously with a cloth moistened with
paraffi n oil in order to create a protective fi lm;
- Periodically air the premises.

6.1 STEAM GENERATOR PERIODICAL MAINTENANCE

• In case of excessive scale in the steam generator the following
light comes on
signalling the need to carry out descaling.
The manufacturer declines any liability if these prescriptions
are not respected; also, the warranty does not cover the repair
or replacement of components damaged by scale whenever
the required supply water characteristics are not respected
(see the relevant section).
Descaling can be carried out using two methods:
- with vinegar, concentration 100%;
- with chemical descaler (carefully following the instructions
given below).
The appliance must be switched on for these operations.
6.1.2 METHOD WITH 100% VINEGAR
1) Close the water supply cock.
2) Completely drain the steam generator by pressing the
following button
3) After one minute close the steam generator drain (press the
above-mentioned button).
4) Remove the generator access tube plastic cap and introduce
approx. 8 litres (6-10gn) or 16 litres (20gn) of pure vinegar through
the same.
5) Open the water cock.
6) Operate the oven "steam" cycle for 16 minutes.
7) Switch the oven off and wait 60 minutes.
8) Switch the oven on again for another 2 minutes.
9) Switch off and wait 60 minutes.
10) With the water cock open, reopen the generator drain valve
to empty it (press the above-mentioned button).
11) Switch the oven off.
12) Rinse the inside of the generator with a rubber hose inserted
in the pipe, until clean water comes out the drain.
13) Refi t the cap and close the steam generator drain (press the
2 above-mentioned button).
6.1.3 METHOD WITH CHEMICAL DESCALER
Descaling with chemical products must be carried out according
to the supplier's instructions (the detergent supplier fi rms).
For example, using the ECOLAB "STRIP-A-WAY" type descaler,
proceed as follows:
• Follow the relevant instructions of the previous section and
introduce the required quantities of the following liquids through
the generator access tube:
- 2 litres of descaling liquid plus 6 litres of water (6-10gn)
- 4.5 litres of descaling liquid plus 11.5 litres of water (20gn)
• Operate the oven STEAM cycle for 12 minutes.
• Switch off and wait 40 minutes.
• Reopen the generator drain and proceed with the instructions
given in the previous section.
IMPORTANT -1
Carefully rinse the inside of the generator with a rubber hose
inserted through the generator access pipe, to remove all
traces of descaler.
• Refi t the cap and close the steam generator drain (pushbutton
or lever).
After these procedures it is advisable to operate the oven empty,
in STEAM cycle, for 30 minutes.
IMPORTANT - 2
If the water cock is not easily accessible, to empty the boiler
proceed as follows:
1) Open the boiler drain valve with the special pushbutton.
2) Wait 2 minutes and switch the oven off; the drain valve will
automatically close.
