An operator’s manual for your appliance’s specific control type should be included with this manual. Refer to that manual prior to operating this appliance.
2.1. FILLING THE APPLIANCE
2.1.1. FILLING THE COOKER TANK
It is recommended that the cooker tank is filled with hot water. This will greatly decrease the time it takes for the appliance to reach operating temperature. Refer to the following procedure to fill the cook tank prior to operation.
This appliance is not designed for cooking with oil. Fill with potable water only.
DRAIN VALVE CLOSED
1. Ensure that the drain valve is closed.
2. Fill the tank with water until the water reaches the water level line(s).

WARNING
2.3. COOKING
It is important to keep the cook tank full of water to minimize the chance of boiling the appliance dry and to keep the water at a level that will provide optimum cooking performance. To ensure the quality of the food you cook in this appliance, follow the preparation instructions from the food manufacturer.
Dry fired elements are extremely hot, will shorten its service life and may void your warranty.
2.3.1. ADDITIONAL CONTROLLER FUNCTIONS
Some controllers have additional functions not described in this manual. If your appliance’s controller has additional functions, refer to the controller’s operation manual to access these functions.
2.3.2. COOKING TIPS
Always follow the food manufacturer’s directions and only use vacuum-sealed products in this
appliance.
Some products can be reheated and held at the same temperature. If this is the case, the
product may be held in this appliance while still in its vacuum-sealed bag. No separate holding device required.
Product bag size can be important in reaching the shortest retherm times. Thin bags typically
retherm faster then thicker ones.
Always allow a gap between product bags. This will allow the hot water to circulate around
the entire surface of the product bag, creating good heat transfer and ultimately shorter retherm times.
Do NOT retherm in boiling water. Boiling water increases your energy and water
consumption and furthermore this appliance is NOT recommended for boiling.
Always follow proper food safety. Refer to FDA and the food manufacturer’s guidelines for
proper handling of the vacuum-sealed product.
