Instructions for use
Insert the heater in the cooking container and secure it to the latter's
walls with the clamp (5).
Fill the container with water to a level that falls between the two MIN and
MAX marks (3) on the cylindrical immersion heater (4).
Switch the heater on by pressing the relevant button for a few seconds.
When the display (1) lights up the following indications will appear:
- the water temperature setting for cooking, on the top right-hand side
(SET TEMP);
- the actual water temperature when the cylindrical immersion heater is
immersed, expressed in °C, in the centre of the display;
- the cooking time to be set (SET TIME), on the bottom left-hand side;
- the elapsed cooking time, which varies gradually as the device operates
(WORK TIME), on the bottom right-hand side.
After switching the device on, set the temperature to be reached by the
water, up to maximum 95°C. Turn the adjustment knob (2) downwards or
upwards until reaching the desired value.
The temperature can be varied at any time during cooking.
Press the SET button once to set the cooking time in hours and a second
time for the minutes; make the adjustments with the same knob used
for adjusting the temperature. Both the hours and minutes can be set to
between 1 and 59.
Once the cooking settings have been defined, start the device by pressing
the switch-on button again. The water will start heating up and you will
notice that the water temperature shown in the centre of the display will
start rising until reaching the temperature set on the top right-hand side.
The heater will then emit three buzzes repeatedly at regular intervals for
a few seconds, until the SET button is pressed for 2 seconds.
At this point, you can immerse the prepared foodstuffs in the bag.
CAUTION:
if the food is vacuum-packed, you can immerse the bags completely into
the water, but if the bag has an opening/closing zone, the latter must
be left out of the water after letting all the air escape from the bag and
hermetically sealing the opening.
Should water penetrate the bag in contact with the food, the cooking
principle of this device will be entirely lost.
While the device heats, the countdown will start on the bottom right-
hand side of the display. Cooking terminates when the set temperature is
reached. The device will emit three buzzes repeatedly at regular intervals.
The food can now be removed from the pot or container.
