Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a method for operating a steam oven (1), especially a domestic steam oven, wherein the steam oven (1) has a control unit (2) and a water reservoir (3) and wherein the steam oven (1) is equipped with a pyrolytic cleaning function. To better protect the electronics and sensors of the oven, the invention is characterized in that the operation of the pyrolytic cleaning comprises the following steps after the pyrolytic cleaning function is activated by the user: a) detecting of the actual water level (L) in the water reservoir (3) by the control unit (2); b) comparing of the detected actual water level (L) with a defined minimum pyrolytic water level (L MP ) by the control unit (2); c) starting the pyrolytic cleaning function by the control unit (2) if the actual water level (L) is equal or above the minimum pyrolytic water level (L MP ) or d) not starting the pyrolytic cleaning function but issuing of an alarm to the user by the control unit (2) if the actual water level (L) is below the minimum pyrolytic water level (L MP ) to alert the user to fill up water into the water reservoir (3). Furthermore, the invention relates to a steam oven.
