Start-up

Preparing the container: Place a suitable container on a fl at,
level, rigid, non-combustible surface, preferably near a sink or
drain for emptying. When the working temperature of the water
exceeds 60ºC it is very important to use a lid, to avoid excess
steam. Thus you will prevent heat loss and protect the applian­ce from moisture. See Fig. B

Securing the device: Hold the appliance fi rmly and secure it with
suffi cient stability to the container. Ensure that the switch and
socket are within your reach while using the appliance. See Fig.
B

manually by taking the machine out of the container vertically,
for example.

Start-up: Connect the appliance and switch it on using the
switch at the rear and set the desired temperature. After heating
the water to the desired temperature, place the vacuum packed
food in the cooking bath. Parts of the bath and lid can get very
hot during use. Take great care when touching them! Use cloths
or oven gloves!
Use the timer function to programme the desired time. Once the
programmed time has been reached an alarm will sound. Press
any button to stop the alarm and remove the food from the bath.

Cleaning

The water in the container must be changed daily and the
appliance cleaned periodically.
To avoid electric shocks that can cause serious personal injury,
switch the appliance off and unplug it before cleaning.

· Never let water get inside the appliance.

· Never clean the appliance under running water or submerge
it in water.

· Do not use: abrasive cleaning products such as ammonia,
bleach, etc. solvents, metal scourers, gritty detergent.

· Clean the immersion parts of the appliance with soapy water
and a cloth or sponge and dry with soft cloth. Use your hand
to check that the fl oat moves, without forcing it. Use a dry
cloth to clean the parts that are not immersed.

· You can clean the protective grille periodically in the dishwas­her.

Maintenance

Before every use, check that the low level fl oat is working pro-
perly.

it.

· This appliance is not to be used by people (including children
of 8 years and over) with limited physical, sensorial or mental
capabilities, or that lack the experience or knowledge, unless
they have been supervised or instructed in the use of applian­ce by a person responsible for their safety and understand
the dangers it entails. Do not allow children to play with the
appliance. · The cleaning and maintenance to be performed
by the user must not be performed by unsupervised children.

· Only people qualifi ed in sous-vide cooking may cook using
this method. It is vitally important to follow procedures that
minimise the risk of formation of anaerobic bacteria.

· This machine is for supervised use. Never leave the machine
running unsupervised.

Filling the container with water: This appliance is designed only
for sous-vide cooking at a low temperature with water. We re­commended using decalcifi ed soft water. Take into account the
maximum and minimum fi ll levels for the water. See Fig. B
Never start up the device without water. The appliance has a
fl oat guard to detect the minimum water level. Always check
that the fl oat guard is working before using the unit. Check this
