Cleaning, descaling and
storage
9.1 Cleaning
Clean the device prior to its first use!
DANGER! Risk of injury through
burning/scalding!
Allow the device to cool down completely
before you clean it or put it away.
DANGER! Risk of electric shock!
Prior to cleaning, disconnect the mains
plug 1 of the device.
DANGER! Risk of electric shock due
to moisture!
The base unit 2, the power cable and the
mains plug 1 must not be immersed in
water or any other liquids.
WARNING! Risk of material damage!
Do not use any sharp or abrasive clean-
ing agents.
•
Clean the device after every use.
Cleaning the sous-vide stick
1. Clean the sous-vide stick with a damp
cloth.
2. Allow the device to dry completely (in-
cluding the inside of the metal casing 4
and the plastic foot 5) before you put it
away.
Cleaning kitchen utensils
•
All kitchen utensils (knives, forks, chop-
ping boards) that come into contact with
raw food must immediately be cleaned,
ideally using hot, soapy water. Comply
with any cleaning instructions for the
kitchen utensils.
9.2 Descaling
After some time, the cooking process will re-
sult in limescale being deposited in parts of
the sous-vide stick (depending on the hard-
ness of the water used). You should remove
this at regular intervals, because otherwise
the power consumption of the device will in-
crease.
For the normal descaling process, you can
leave the sous-vide stick assembled. In the
case of stubborn limescale, you should first re-
move the metal casing (see "Removing and
reattaching the metal casing (Figure C)" on
page 42).
NOTE: comply with the dosing notes on the
packaging of the citric acid. The dosing de-
scribed here relates to pure, crystalline citric
acid.
1. Prepare a solution using cold tap water
and crystalline citric acid. Use approx. 2 -
3 tablespoons of citric acid for 1 litre of
water.
2. Prepare a water bath using this solution
(see "Preparing the water bath" on
page 34). The water level should come to
just below the MAX marking 7.
3. Connect the mains plug 1 with a wall
socket.
4. Set a temperature of 70 °C and a time of
20 minutes, and start the program (see
"Making settings" on page 34).
5. When the program is complete, allow the
water bath and the device to cool down.
6. Pour away the citric acid solution and
rinse the pot and device thoroughly with
cold water.
7. Allow the device to dry completely (in-
cluding the inside of the metal casing 4
and the plastic foot 5) before you put it
away.
