Fault F20

Fault F20 is shown on the display of the steam oven/combi-steam oven. The steam oven/combi-steam oven is not getting hot.

All DG/DGC/DGM: The fault can occur, if, for example, a large quantity of frozen food is being cooked.

If the temperature in the oven compartment does not increase by at least 2 C within 5 minutes at the start of the heating-up phase, fault F20 appears on the display.

Turn the steam oven/combi-steam oven off and back on again, then restart the program.

DGC 4000 to DGC 6000, DG 1000 to DG 5000 (with integrated steam generator): The water container has not been fully inserted.

Push the water container into the appliance until it engages.

Turn the steam oven/combi-steam oven off and back on again.

DGC 4000 to DGC 6000, DG 1000 to DG 5000 (with integrated steam generator): The coupling seal on the water container is not sufficiently lubricated.

The coupling seal on the water container must be lubricated with a small amount of the silicone grease included:

  • If the water container is difficult to insert and remove after prolonged use, or can only be inserted and removed with a jolt

  • Or if fault F20 is displayed

Only use the silicone grease supplied.

On no account must margarine, oil, or any other domestic grease or fat be used, as these can cause the coupling seal to swell.

Coupling seal | Water container | Steam ovens

Rub a small amount of the silicone grease supplied onto the inside of the coupling seal. The sealing ring can be lubricated without actually taking it out.

Push the water container into the appliance until it engages.

Turn the steam oven/combi-steam oven off and back on again.

Replace the coupling seal:

  • If the coupling seal becomes porous or brittle

  • Or if an unusually large amount of water collects on the floor of the water container compartment
