3. Place food in each of the baskets. Food is to be completely
submerged. If using the unit to rethermalize vacuum-sealed
food and placing more than one vacuum-sealed bag into the
basket, make sure there is enough space between food bags
for water flow and that the bags do not overlap.
4. NOTE: Monitor internal food temperatures closely for food
safety. Follow FDA and USDA guidelines for minimum food
temperatures. Most foods should be cooked to a higher internal
temperature than 140˚F per federal guidelines.
5. Heat water only. Do not use this unit to heat oil, grease or other
liquids. Other liquids may become unstable and hazardous.
SAFETY
Do not overfill water into the water basin.
The appliance has been installed with a thermal protector to avoid
overheating or damage to the heating unit element. If the
unit overheats during use, the auto shutoff will cut power
to the unit. If this occurs, turn power off, unplug the unit
and let unit cool down. Timing should be approximately
one hour. Plug unit back into power outlet and push in
the Reset button located on the back of the unit.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified
technician.
