Dear Customer,
Thank you for purchasing this piece of Clifton Food Range® equipment. To get the
best performance from your equipment and for your own safety please read these
instructions carefully before use.
GENERAL NOTES
1. This product is designed for kitchen use only. Always follow good kitchen
practice.
2. Fill the tank with either water or oil prior to connection to electrical supply.
3. Use only water or food grade oils within their specied temperature range.
If the alarm lamp is illuminated the liquid temperature may be above its
recommended maximum.
4. The water bath is designed primarily for sous vide/low temperature method
using water. If oil is used for direct cooking, the bath will self adjust to oil. If
reverting to water you may need to run the bath a couple of times in order that
the controller relearns/adjusts its parameters for water and vice versa. When
heating oil the FILL message may be displayed. This is due the nature of the oil
heating process. Oil heats in layers and when the set temperature is reached
the FILL message will stop. To speed up the heating process the oil can be
stirred occassionally taking care to avoid spills.
5. Use caution when topping up/draining the tank.
6. Drain before moving the water bath. Allow the liquid to cool to 40˚C before
draining.
7. In the event of the over or under temperature alarm being illuminated do not
touch the liquid as it may be very hot or cold. Take care when lifting the lid steam and vapours can cause scolding.
8. Always use a lid when operating at temperatures above 60˚C for continued
optimal temperature control.
9. If this product is not used in accordance with these instructions then basic
safety protection may be aected.
10. The mains supply cord tted to this product is heat resistant and should be
replaced with an equivalent type by a qualied electrician.
11. Ensure that the power supply has a safety earth (ground) terminal.
12. Ensure that the mains switch and power supply connector are accessible

31°C) decreasing to 50% (temperature 40°C).
DO NOT block or restrict ventilation slots. DO NOT place directly next to hot heat
surfaces or hot appliances. ENSURE that there is sucient space around the bath to

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!!
POWER LEAD AND CONNECTION TO ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
Check the electrical supply is compatible with the rating label.
IF IN DOUBT CONSULT AN ELECTRICIAN. THE PRODUCT MUST BE
EARTHED! Where the mains supply or plug connection diers refer
to local regulations or consult an electrician.
LIQUID LEVEL
Fill the tank with water for sous vide method or oil, prior to connection to the
power supply. When using oil there is an initial heating period where the over
temperature alarm will sound and heaters cut in and out momentarily. This will
cycle until the oil becomes homogenised when normal control will resume.
Minimum Liquid Level: Unstirred Baths: must be at least half full. Stirred Baths: must
cover the heating coil. Maximum Liquid Level: must not exceed the ridge in the
tank.
If the water bath fails to maintain water temperature or to heat
up, please ensure there is sucient water/oil to meet minimum
levels.
We recommend this is checked regularly while the water/oil is in
use.
A “FILL” message will appear to indicate low liquid level.

BASIC CLEANING
The Clifton Food Range bath should be emptied at the end of each day, then for
exterior, interior surfaces:

Drain Outlet: Please ensure that the above cleaning process includes the outlet
on the base of the tank, paying particular attention to ushing the outlet and tap
thoroughly.

of the water bath. Cleaning at the end of each day can prevent this but periodically
it may be necessary to descale the bath. Add 1 litre of vinegar to the normal
capacity of water and heat for 1 hour to 50˚C.
