Understanding the Importance of Descaling
Scale buildup can have detrimental effects on your steam oven‘s functionality and longevity. It can:
- Reduce Steam Output: Scale obstructs the flow of steam, impairing the oven’s ability to generate the necessary moisture for cooking.
- Increase Energy Consumption: Descaled ovens require more energy to heat up and maintain temperature.
- Damage Components: Over time, scale buildup can damage the oven’s heating elements, sensors, and other internal components.
