GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For your protection, the Waring® Thermal Circulators machines are equipped with a 3-conductor cordset that has a molded 3-prong grounding-type plug, and should be used in combination with a properly connected grounding-type outlet as shown in Figure 1. If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an adapter, shown in Figure 2, may be obtained so that a 2-slot wall outlet can be used with a 3-prong plug. Referring to Figure 3, the adapter must be grounded by attaching its grounding lug under the screw of the outlet cover plate.

CAUTION: Before using an adapter, it must be determined that the outlet cover plate screw is properly grounded. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician. Never use an adapter unless you are sure it is properly grounded.
Note: Use of an adapter is not permitted in Canada.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole cord connectors that accept the plug from the appliance. Use only extension cords that are intended for indoor use. Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the appliance. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cord and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges.

IMPORTANT NOTES
CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against risk of electric shock, connect to properly grounded outlets only.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLE
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the appliance. Do not attempt to service this product. Do not immerse base in water or other liquids. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used with care; however, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the machine.
NOTE: This unit is intended for indoor use at commercial food service establishments. It is not intended for household, industrial or laboratory use. Operate unit at room temperature and if not, allow time for unit to reach room temperature.
NOTE: For the most accurate temperature control, be sure to place lid on vessel when in use.
NOTE: This unit will only properly operate when filled using tap water. Pure (filtered) water or distilled water cannot be detected as there are no dissolved solids in these water types. Salt can be added to pure (filtered) water if needed, but regular tap water is highly recommended for use.
NOTE: Heat water only. Do not use this unit to heat oil, grease or other liquids. Other liquids may become unstable and hazardous.

INTRODUCTION TO SOUS VIDE COOKING

Sous vide (pronounced soo-veed) describes a method of cooking foods, sealed in plastic vacuum bags, in a water bath at precisely controlled temperatures, often much lower than those used in traditional ovens, but for longer periods of time. The technique was first developed in France and named Sous Vide, French for “under vacuum,” though it would more correctly be called “without much air,” since the vacuum sealing doesn’t truly remove all the air from the bag. Removing most of the air from the bags, however, does reduce the chance of bacterial growth and spoilage. And the vacuum-sealed pouches prevent evaporation and the loss of flavor and nutrition, keeping the foods cooked sous vide moist, tender and flavorful.
The high-precision thermostat of the Waring® Thermal Circulators water bath maintains the temperature with a tight window around the set target temperature, so food can be cooked to the perfect temperature effortlessly. Steaks prepared with the sous vide method can be cooked to the desired temperature throughout, instead of charred on the outside, overcooked below that, and perfect just in the center. A medium-rare steak cooked sous vide will be medium rare from edge to edge; a medium steak will be medium throughout; a medium-well steak, the same all the way through. No guesswork. No critical timing. No chance of overcooking. Check out waringcommercialproducts.com to see our vacuum sealing systems for food storage and sous vide cooking.

Conventional Cooking vs Sous Vide Comparison

FOOD SAFETY

Monitor food temperatures closely for food safety. The United States Public Health Service recommends that hot food be heated and held at a minimum of 140˚F (60˚C) to help prevent bacteria growth. Vacuum-packed food creates a low oxygen environment. With improper handling or preparation, bacteria can grow. We recommend that a HACPP food safety management program be put in place. Check with the US Food and Drug Administration (www.fda.gov) for details.
