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 60ºC it is very important 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
sufficient 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 minimum fill levels for the water. See Fig. B
SmartVide 4 / 6 / 8
Users Manual
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
programmed time has been reached an alarm will sound. Press
any button to stop the alarm and remove the food from the bath.

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.
