3. Before using Primo for the first time, wipe out the tank with a cloth and wash the rack and both
parts of the lid in warm soapy water.
4. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to wipe Primo. Rinse the parts under running
water and dry them thoroughly before using Primo.
5. Place Primo onto a stable countertop. Fill Primo with water. For optimal heat transfer, fill 2/3
full with water. Do not overfill Primo as you will need to leave room for food to cook.

7. Place the tray and rack into the tank and fit both parts of the lid. It is important the tray is used.
Do not place food directly onto the base of the bath.
8. Plug Primo into a suitable mains outlet.

size (10L) and then display 4 dashes (-----). Primo is now ready to set the cooking temperature.

ensuring vacuum pouches are separated using the rack provided. Replace the lid and cook for
the time dictated by your recipe.

Troubleshooting
My Primo display is showing ‘DRY’
You have started Primo without filling it with water or it has boiled dry during operation. To
reset Primo:
1. Unplug Primo and allow the unit to cool down for 10 minutes.
2. Fill with water and follow the setup instructions on page 7 of this manual.
My Primo display is showing ‘TRIP'
The over temperature protection has tripped because Primo has overheated:
1. Unplug Primo and allow the unit to cool down for 10 minutes.
2. Fill with water and follow the setup instructions on page 7 of this manual.
My Primo display is showing ‘POST’
Primo is still too hot to operate:
1. Unplug Primo and allow it to cool for a further 20 minutes.
2. If the display continues to show ‘POST’ then the unit has been damaged and should be returned
for repair/replacement.
I wish to change the temperature scale
1. Follow the instructions on page 8, titled ‘‘Setting the temperature’’.
