Topics:

• Use of demineralized, filtered, or distilled water
• What kind of water is required to operate a Convection Steam Oven (CSO)?
• Water heavy in minerals
• Lowest recommended water hardness in grains
• How much water is needed to fill the tank?

Answer:

The Wolf Convection Steam Oven (CSO) requires minerals to be present in the water to work properly. Do not use demineralized, reverse osmosis filtered, or distilled water.

• The unit contains an electromagnetic level sensor to measure the flow of water into the boiler.
• This type of technology requires mineral content in the water for accurate measurement.
  • Tap water, filtered water, and softened water can all be used in the Convection Steam Oven, as long as there are minerals in it. 
    
  • Bottled water will work in the Convection Steam Oven.
    
• To maintain proper function, always test the water hardness first with the water test strip provided with the product.
  • Refer to Convection Steam Oven Water Test Strips for testing instructions.
  • Adjust water softener as needed to meet unit requirements.
• The CSO contains an external boiler that reduces mineral buildup. Run the Descale program when the CSO reads "Boiler scaled up, please descale!"
  • Refer to Convection Steam Oven Descaling for more information about descaling, including descaling solution recommendations and instructions for the process.
