Possible Causes

Empty or incorrectly inserted water tank, scaled‑up steam generator, blocked steam inlet, failed steam pump or valve

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the oven to cool and disconnect power before accessing internal steam components.

  • Check water tank: Ensure the water reservoir is filled to the correct level and properly seated in its compartment. Clean the tank contacts if present.
  • Descale system: Run the descaling program if your Etna steam oven supports it, using the recommended descaling agent. Follow the user manual carefully.
  • Inspect steam inlet: Check the steam outlet/inlet inside the cavity for blockages. Clean gently with a non‑metallic tool.
  • Pump/valve test: If accessible, listen for the pump running during a steam cycle. If silent and no water movement occurs, the pump or valve may be faulty and should be replaced.
