CHAPTER 2 - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installation standards
Installation warnings
The user must carefully read this manual and always refer to it; also, the manual should
be stored in a place known and available to all authorized operators (user, maintenance
operator).
Next Cooking Generation waives any and all responsibilities and warranty obligations if
damage is caused to the machine, people or objects due to:
•Improper installation and/or installation against the regulations in force;
•Modications or actions which are not specic to the model;
•Use of non-original spare parts or which are not specic to the model;
•Failure to comply even in part with the instructions in this manual;
•Failure to comply with health and safety regulations and laws in force during installation.
Introduction
Before installing waveco®, make sure that electrical systems are as required
by law and appropriate to the rating of the equipment to be installed
(voltage [V], frequency [Hz], power [W]).
Every Next Cooking Generation machine comes with a declaration of conformity with
applicable regulations.
Transport, moving and unpacking
The manchine must be loaded and unloaded from the lorry, or any other means
of transport, with the correct equipment.
When moving it all the necessary precautions must be taken to avoid any
damage to the machine as well as any injury to people, in line with the
instructions placed on the packaging.
Unpacking: remove the box and take the machine out. The machine should be taken out by
2 people.
To remove the packaging, we recommend not to use box cutters or sharp
knives.
!

8
USE, MAINTENANCE AND INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL
After removing the packaging, make sure straight away that the machine is
intact. In case of damage, do NOT operate waveco®but contact Gourmet
Services.
It is best to keep waveco®’s original packaging until the waranty expires.
Ecology notes: all the various parts of the packaging must not be dispersed in the environment,
but disposed of in compliance with the local regulations for refuse disposal. (see Chapter 8)
If there are traces of water inside the machine, this is due to the test
carried out prior to shipping.
Installation
Rating
The plate specifying the waveco® model and specications is placed at the back, in the
lower right hand side of the machine, near the power cable.
The information reported is listed below:
•Manufacturer’s complete details
•Serial number
•Year of manufacture
•Voltage and frequency
•Electric power
•Weight in kg
Warning: it is recommended not to remove, damage or modify the rating
label.
Positioning
It is recommended not to place the machine in enclosed spaces with high temperatures and
poor ventilation, in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
For the waveco®built-in model, the piece of furniture’s dimensions should be the same
as those specied in paragraph “Overall maximum dimensions of the waveco® roll-in

ENGLISH
Warning: connect the supplies only after adjusting the feet provided (not
included in the waveco® ROLL-IN model) and properly levelling it on a at
and stable surface.
Caution: place waveco®on a surface that can bear the load and is not
subject to vibrations.
Power connection
Connect waveco®to the electricity grid using the power cable already connected to the
machine, 2.6 m long with 16A Schuko plug (plug not supplied with waveco®BUILT-IN model)
Installation details
•Make sure the plug is accessible, even after installation. If the machine’s
plug is not easy to reach, the power grid should have omnipolar
switches with a contact opening that allows current cut-off.
•Do not wrap the power cable around itself. Make sure it is not an
obstacle or a danger to people.
•Check that the power cable is not creased, crushed or folded.
•Do not let the power cable come into contact with liquids, hot or sharp
objects and corrosive substances.
•Do not reduce the power cable length or modify the power plug.
Water connection
The water supply and drain system is automatic, except for the waveco®COUNTERTOP
version.
The automatic models are connected to the water supply network through a ½ threaded
inlet hose and a 30 cm-long threaded ½ drainage hose supplied, from which you can make
your water outlets.
Connect waveco®COUNTERTOP model to the water supply network using the 2 m-long 13
mm-diameter transparent silicone hoses supplied tting the water inlet section.

USE, MAINTENANCE AND INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL
!Caution: Before connecting to the water supply network, make sure water
is clear, free from impurities and pollutants to prevent damage to the
machine.
Caution: water is the only liquid that can be put into the tank.
Warning: for proper functioning, always make sure that water level is
good.

Chapter 3 - START-UP AND USE
waveco® is the rst professional machine introducing the innovative induced maturation©
process in the food industry. The ultrasonic massaging effect increases food tenderness and
extends its shelf-life by eliminating the bacterial load.
With waveco®’s low temperature potential cooking mode, you can cook food in less time
through a soft process which does not stress the food and enhances its avour for perfect,
consistent and repeatable cooking results.
Also, waveco®saves you time, power reduces food cost.
Warnings for the user
•Read this manual carefully and always refer to it.
•If you witness any issues (for example, a damaged power cable or malfunctioning control
panel), do not use waveco®and contact Next Cooking Generation for help.
•waveco®should be used for the intended purpose, meaning induced maturation of food
and low temperature potential cooking. Any other use will be considered as misuse and
potentially dangerous.
Information about the functioning modes
Functioning
You can run the operating cycles in manual or automatic mode and control them using the
operator’s panel.
Food containers
For induced maturation©and low temperature potential cooking cycles, you must put your
food into sealed or vacuum food bags.
Caution: the bags should comply with 1935/2004/EC Regulation and the
Italian Ministerial Decree 21/03/1973, as later amended. Always use 100%
BPA free bags with a minimum capacity of 100 g.
Food arrangement
It is preferable to properly arrange the food inside waveco®using the grid supplied. If
possible, do not stack the food for proper functioning.

CHAPTER 4 - CONTROL PANEL
Use
waveco®operator’s panel features touch screen commands with user-friendly and smart
Apps that will guide you through the several functions.

using only your hands. Do not use objects such as knives, forks, touch
pens, etc.
On start-up, the Gourmet Services icon will appear, followed
by a control screen (g.1) The machine automatically checks
the UT module, the temperature probe and the water level. In
case of problems, the machine reports the error and freezes.

USE, MAINTENANCE AND INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL
Cycle description
Induced Maturation©
With this cycle you can soften any kind of food. All the
organoleptic and nutritional properties are preserved and the
bacterial load is immediately dropped. Induced Maturation®
does not cook the food; however, during operations, water
may become hot because of the ultrasonic wave owing
through it. In this case, the machine prompts the operator
that they can stop the process and change the water to bring
it back within the suitable temperature range for the induced
maturation®cycle.
Low Temperature Potential Cooking
This delicate process (max temperature: 85°C) cooks food
in less time and in the best way, enhancing its quality and
avours.
This kind of cooking is called “potential” because it allows
to reach the right temperature at the core of food earlier
thanks to a higher circulation of water inside the tank, which
provides better heat penetration into the food.
Maturation + Cooking
This cycle is divided into two steps: maturation and cooking.
In the rst step, the food is tendered and the bacterial load
is dropped. In the second step, the food is cooked.
