IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

To reduce the possibility of accidents (short circuits, injuries or
fires, etc.), and ensure the best functioning and the proper main-
tenance of the machine, it is necessary to carefully read and fol-
low these instructions. Keep these instructions and ensure that
all users of the machine read them before use. Also keep the
warranty and the declaration of conformity.
• Misuse of the equipment may cause injury.
• The surface of the heating element is subject to residual heat
after use. Keep hands away.
• Switch the equipment off and disconnect the power before
changing accessories or approaching moving parts.
• Clean the device after each use, following the instructions be-
low.
• Avoid water getting inside the device and never submerge it in
water. If this happens, proceed as follows:
• Leave the device inside the container and do not touch the
container.
• Unplug from the power socket.
• Remove the device from the container and try to empty as
much of the liquid inside as possible.
• Do not reconnect the device and contact an authorised
service technician.
• If the power supply is damaged and a new one must be in-
stalled, only a Sammic authorised technical service can replace
it.
• This appliance is not to be used by people (including children
of 8 years and over) with limited physical, sensorial or mental ca-
pabilities, or that lack the experience or knowledge, unless they
have been supervised or instructed in the use of appliance by a
person responsible for their safety and understand the dangers
it entails. Do not allow children to play with the appliance. The
cleaning and maintenance to be performed by the user must not
be performed by unsupervised children.
• Only people qualified in sous-vide cooking may cook using this
method. It is vitally important to follow procedures that minimise
the risk of formation of anaerobic bacteria.
• This machine is for supervised use. Never leave the machine
running unsupervised.
• Comfort or familiarity with the product (based on its repeated
use) should not replace strict compliance with the safety regu-
lations. Be alert, pay attention to what you are doing and use
common sense when operating the appliance.
• Do not use the appliance while you are tired or under the in-
fluence of drugs, alcohol or medication. If you use the machine
incorrectly or in an unsafe manner, you may suffer personal or
material damages.
• The models cited in the manual have been designed for use in
hotels, restaurants, catering and commercial applications.
• The manufacturer is not responsible when the product is used
incorrectly or differently than the use mentioned above. Such as
sanitary use, chemical use, use in explosive atmospheres, etc.
• Any accessories used must be designed for the specific model
and the SAMMIC brand. Any accident caused by non-SAMMIC
accessories will be the responsibility of the user.
START-UP AND INSTALLATION
Location
• Use this appliance in a ventilated kitchen at an ambient temperature no
higher than 40°C.
• Do not block nor obstruct the ventilation slits.
• Do not place the appliance next to or near sources of heat.
Electric connection
Before plugging the appliance in, make sure that the mains voltage co-
incides with the voltage indicated on the name plate attached to the ma-
chine. CAUTION: THE EARTH CONNECTION IS OBLIGATORY. DAN-
GER OF ELECTROCUTION.
Never connect the device if the protective grill is not in place. See Fig. A
Start-up
Preparing the container: Place a suitable container on a flat, level, rigid,
non-combustible surface, preferably near a sink or drain for emptying.
When the working temperature of the water exceeds 60°C, it is very im-
portant to use a lid to avoid excess steam. Thus you will prevent heat
loss and protect the appliance from moisture. See Fig. B
Securing the device: Hold the appliance firmly and secure it with suf-
ficient stability to the container. Ensure that the switch and socket are
within your reach while using the appliance. See Fig. B
Filling the container with water: This appliance is designed only for
sous-vide cooking at a low temperature with water. We recommended
using decalcified soft water. Take into account the maximum and mini-
mum fill levels for the water. See Fig. B
Never start up the device without water. The appliance has a float guard
to detect the minimum water level. Always check that the float guard is
working before using the unit. Check this manually by taking the machine
out of the container vertically, for example.
Start-up: Connect the appliance and switch it on using the switch at the
rear and set the desired temperature. Check that the stirrer is spinning.
After heating the water to the desired temperature, place the vacuum
packed food in the cooking bath. Parts of the bath and lid can get very
hot during use. Take great care when touching them! Use cloths or oven
gloves!
Use the timer function to programme the desired time. Once the pro-
grammed time has been reached an alarm will sound. Press any button
to stop the alarm and remove the food from the bath.
Cleaning
The water in the container must be changed daily and the appliance
cleaned periodically.
To avoid electric shocks that can cause serious personal injury, switch
the appliance off and unplug it before cleaning.
• Never let water get inside the appliance.
• Never clean the appliance under running water or submerge it in water.
• Do not use: abrasive cleaning products such as ammonia, bleach, etc.
solvents, metal scourers, gritty detergent.
• Clean the immersion parts of the appliance with soapy water and a
cloth or sponge and dry with soft cloth. Use your hand to check that the
float moves, without forcing it. Use a dry cloth to clean the parts that are
not immersed.
• You can clean the protective grille periodically in the dishwasher.
Maintenance
Before every use, check that the low level float is working properly.
