2.3. COOKING 
It is important to keep the cook tank full of water to minimize the chance of boiling the appliance dry 
and to keep the water at a level that will provide optimum cooking performance. To ensure the quality 
of the food you cook in this appliance, follow the preparation instructions from the food manufacturer. 
2.3.1. ADDITIONAL CONTROLLER FUNCTIONS 
Some controllers have additional functions not described in this manual. If your appliance’s 
controller has additional functions, refer to the controller’s operation manual to access these 
functions. 
 
2.3.2. COOKING 
TIPS
 
 Always follow the food manufacturer’s directions and only use sealed bagged products in this 
appliance. 
 
 Some products can be reheated and held at the same temperature. If this is the case, the
product may be held in this appliance while still in its vacuum-sealed bag. No separate 
holding device required. 
 
 Product bag size can be important in reaching the shortest retherm times. Thin bags typically
retherm faster then thicker ones. 
 
 Always allow a gap between product bags. This will allow the hot water to circulate around
the entire surface of the product bag, creating good heat transfer and ultimately shorter 
retherm times. 
 
 Do NOT retherm in boiling water. Boiling water increases your energy and water
consumption and furthermore this appliance is NOT recommended for boiling. 
 
 Always follow proper food safety. Refer to FDA and the food manufacturer’s guidelines for
proper handling of the vacuum-sealed product.
