STX Chef’s Elite
Food Marinator
Instructions

WARNING
This appliance is intended for non-commercial – home use only.
When handling meat, basic food safety precautions should be observed:
• Wash hands thoroughly before and after handling raw meat.
• Keep meat refrigerated or frozen until ready for use.
• Raw meat and its juice should be kept away from other
foods.
• Wash cutting boards, utensils, counters, etc. with hot, soapy
water after contact with raw meat. If desired – for effective
sanitizing, wipe surface again with a solution of 1 tablespoon
chlorine bleach per gallon of water. Allow surface to air dry.
Although this Marinator is equipped with a 0-9 hour 59 minute timer,
we strongly recommend you follow the marinating times printed on the
front of the machine. Meat will marinate faster than traditional methods
because of the pressurized container. Normal marinating times for meats
(and/or certain vegetables) is 15-30 minutes.

canister on its side and the canister will start to rotate. The time will
default to 15 minutes and start the countdown.

minus button to change the time on the digital display. This can only
be done while the canister is rotating.
9. When the timer reaches 0:00 the rollers will automatically stop
and the unit will Beep 3 times. This indicates that your meat or
vegetables are finished and ready to be cooked.
