This scale negatively influences the heating efficien- cy and appearance of the device. Thus, the device needs to be cleaned after ever 20th use or after 200 hours in operation.

1. Insert the SV 50 into the pot. Fill with water up to the “Min”

marking. Add the vinegar (attention: rinse quickly and tho- roughly with water when chemical burn is caused by vine- gar. If the eye is still red, painful, tears and is sensitive to light, medical advice is required.)

2. Turn on the device and set the temperature at 80°C and the

3. Check the result. If the scale has not been removed com-

pletely, repeat the 2nd step. If all scale is removed, rise with clear water. Leave the device to dry before storing.14 Working area: Important: Never place the appliance on or next to a hot surface (e.g. stove). Always use it on a stable, flat and temperature resisting surface. Always take care that no inflammable objects are near to the appliance. Before using for first time: ∙ Clean the device with a damp cloth externally. Then run the device into the desig- nated pot with warm water to rinse out production residues. ∙ Attention! Do not immerse electrical part in water! Vacuum packing Only use bags that are suitable for vacuum packing. There is no guarantee of proper closure if normal bags are used. Ensure that there are no spices in the vicinity of the weld seam, otherwise hermetic sealing will not be possible.

Water quantity Do not put too much water in the device - leave sufficient room for the food. If neces- sary, top up water until Max. The unit can be switched on only when the water level reaches the max marking. The food must always be covered with water. The tempe- rature sensor needs a couple of minutes until he adjusted to the set temperature if pre-heated water is filled in. If there is no water in the pot, the device will not turn on and beeps EE1. Turn off the appliance, add water and start again. The water level sensor switches off the appliance when the water level drops rapidly If you plug the device out, or if you have a power outage, the unit remembers the last set values. Seasoning The food can be seasoned or have herbs added to it before vacuum packing. Please take care when seasoning, since the food keeps its natural flavour during Sous- Vide cooking.16 The cooking time depends on the thickness of the food ∙ Increase time by at least 20% for deep-frozen food. ∙ All time information is approximate and should be adjusted according to taste. ∙ The time should be doubled for tough meat.
