Answer:

Water Tank Capacity:

• The Convection Steam Oven water tank holds approximately 5 cups of water.
• Legacy Convection Steam Oven water tanks hold approximately 4 cups of water.
• There is not a fill line on the water tank.

Water Tank and Lid Removal:

• The top lid fits tightly on the water tank but is removable.
• Pull up to remove the lid.
• If the water tank is stuck in the opening, wiggle it back and forth while pulling out to release it.

Legacy Convection Steam Oven Water Tank:

• The water tank in a Legacy CSO provides approximately 90 minutes of continuous steam.
  • Most modes do not use continuous steam, so actual cooking time on one tank may be longer. For example, Slow Roast uses steam but not in a continuous flow, so one tank of water may last several hours.
  • Refer to Legacy Convection Steam Oven Cooking Modes for more information on which modes use steam and when.

Convection Steam Oven Plumbed Model Water Tank:

• In CSO plumbed models,  the home water supply provides continuous steam for specific cooking modes.
• In CSO plumbed models, the water tank is only used for descaling. 
  • Refer to Convection Steam Oven Cooking Modes for more information on which modes use steam and when.
• If the unit is not hooked up to the home water supply, it is possible to use the water tank for cooking if needed. The water tank will provide approximately 4 hours of steam.

Fill Water Tank Message:

• In the event that the unit does run out of water, "fill water tank" will appear on the display screen.
  • If the "fill water tank" message is ignored, the unit will eventually power itself off as a safety precaution.
  • Refer to Convection Steam Oven Fill Water Tank Message for more information. 
• Add no more than 2 cups of water to prevent overflow when the unit pumps water from the boiler back into the tank.
  • There is a baffle in the tank to prevent water from splashing when filled.
