Note: Do not rinse the top part of the circulator including the main body in water.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Under normal operation the system will hum due to the motor, impeller and cooling fan in operation.

Grinding noise

The stainless steel skirt is loose. Push the stainless skirt up into the guide groove and turn to the right until you hear a click. With the skirt secure, the noise will go away. There also might be the chance the stirring shaft was inadvertently bent. If this is the case, unscrew the bottom pump disk and gently push the impeller until it is centered.

Slurping noise

Your pump has formed a water vortex like when you are emptying out a bathroom sink or tub. Add more water or gently disturb water with a spoon. There is no sure way to eliminate a vortex from forming due to the pump rotation but usually will go away on its own.

Gurgling and Woosh noise

The pump is sucking air - add more water. You should also see small bubbles in your tank.

Food damage

The pump's water jet is cracking eggs or damaging fish fillets: Turn the pump outlet to face the container wall; this will greatly temper the flow of the pump output. It is also good practice to bag eggs to prevent them from being "blown" around in certain containers.

System will not turn on

Check power plug and breakers.

Low water level alarm

Add more water – the water level can be dropped during operation by the pump due to water turbulence.

Low water level alarm turns on after a few seconds of operation

Add more water – The pump generates "waves" – sometimes these waves will cause the water level at the sensors to fluctuate up and down. The waves sometimes drop the water level right under the sensor and will cause a low water alarm. This is normal and you just need to add more water.

Temperature read does not match thermometer

Sous Vide circulators are calibrated to a scientific platinum primary standard which is far more accurate than store thermometers.

Lights in house are slightly flickering when system is on

This is normal as the circulator is modulating power.

Error code EE1 will be appeared in below situation with alarm sound:

• No water in tank
  • Water below minimum level
  • Appliance in situation of short cuicuit
