Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning the Circulator: After each use, unplug the device and allow it to cool completely. The stainless steel lower part can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Due to its IPX7 waterproof rating, the entire lower section can be rinsed under running water, but avoid submerging the top control panel.
• Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits from water may accumulate on the heating element. To descale, fill a pot with water and add 1 cup of white vinegar. Clamp the sous vide cooker into the pot, ensuring the heating element is submerged. Run the device at 60°C (140°F) for 30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly afterward. Perform descaling every few months or as needed based on water hardness.
• Storage: Ensure the device is completely dry before storing. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Do Not Disassemble: Do not attempt to disassemble the unit. Refer to qualified service personnel for any repairs.
