Using the Control Panel/Display

Before You Begin

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not submerge above the MAX water level line. If the appliance should become completely submerged, unplug —do not reach into water—and allow it to cool before removing it from the water. Allow the appliance to dry out completely before use.
NOTE: All foods must be sealed before immersing in water. Never add unsealed foods to water. Do not plug in the Immersion Circulator until you have completed the following steps:

Choose a rigid plastic or metal vessel or container that can hold up to 30 L (8 gallons), is suitably rated for temperatures above 95°C (203°F), and is at least 12 cm (4 1/2”) or greater in depth. Water should never be above MAX Fill Line or below MIN Fill Line; add or remove water if necessary. The vessel should be large enough to allow water to circulate between and around sealed food. Water will circulate even if base of Stainless Steel Housing is resting on vessel bottom.
To secure Clamp Assembly to vessel or container, loosen Clamp Knob by turning it counterclockwise.
Slide Clamp Assembly of Circulator onto side of container and secure Clamp Assembly by turning Clamp Knob clockwise until it clicks; this prevents overtightening.
The Circulator can be adjusted up or down by pushing Adjustment Lever towards Circulator.
NOTE: The Clamp Assembly Adjustment Lever allows Circulator to be removed from vessel for cooling or cleaning without having to remove Clamp Assembly.
Fill the vessel with water. Keep in mind that when your sealed food is added, the water level could rise above the MAX Fill Line. Always keep water level between MAX and MIN Fill Lines.
