The appliance is designed for ease of use in a professional setting. It requires connection to a 3N/PE AC 400V 50Hz power supply and a water mains with pressure between 100-300 kPa. The control panel, though not detailed in the provided excerpts, is implied to be user-friendly, with an emergency button (03) for safety. The instruction manual emphasizes the importance of proper installation, including the placement of a multi-pole circuit breaker and water taps in easily accessible positions next to the appliance. The vacuum cooking feature allows for precise temperature control, which is crucial for sous vide cooking. The large capacity of the kettle (70 liters useful volume) makes it suitable for batch cooking in commercial kitchens. The integrated mixer ensures uniform temperature distribution within the cooking vessel, which is critical for consistent sous vide results. The appliance is also equipped with a drainage grid for improved ease of cleaning.
Maintenance is a key aspect highlighted in the manual, particularly regarding the vacuum pump. The appliance is delivered with the vacuum pump pre-filled with protective oil, which must be emptied and collected before any operations. This protective oil should be stored for future use during appliance downtime. The manual explicitly warns against discharging the protective oil down the drain, emphasizing environmental responsibility. Regular checks are recommended to ensure the earthing system is working properly and that all connections (water, gas, steam, and electrical) are tightly sealed and not pulled. The appliance's design, including height-adjustable feet, facilitates proper leveling, which is important for its optimal functioning and longevity. For maintenance and repair operations, leaving sufficient space (50 cm) on one side of the appliance is recommended. The manual also advises using gloves during installation and maintenance tasks for safety. In case of pump malfunction (not creating vacuum), the instruction to invert two phases of the electrical connection suggests a simple troubleshooting step. The requirement for qualified staff to perform installation, maintenance, and commissioning underscores the complexity and safety considerations of the appliance.
