Maintenance
- Cleaning: The Wancle Sous Vide Immersion Circulator is IPX7 waterproof. After each use, unplug the device and allow it to cool. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For the stainless steel sleeve, it can be rinsed under running water. Ensure the device is completely dry before storing.
- Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits may accumulate on the heating element. To descale, fill a pot with water and add 1 cup of white vinegar. Attach the circulator and set the temperature to 70°C (158°F) for 30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly afterward.
- Storage: Store the circulator in a dry place. Its compact design allows for minimal counter space usage or easy storage in a drawer.
