GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For your protection, the Waring®Thermal Circulators machines are
equipped with a 3-conductor cordset that has a molded 3-prong
grounding-type plug, and should be used in combination with a
properly connected grounding-type outlet as shown in Figure 1. If a
grounding-type outlet is not available, an adapter, shown in
Figure 2, may be obtained so that a 2-slot wall outlet can be used
with a 3-prong plug. Referring to Figure 3, the adapter must be
grounded by attaching its grounding lug under the screw of the
outlet cover plate.
CAUTION: Before using an adapter, it must be determined that the
outlet cover plate screw is properly grounded. If in doubt, consult a
licensed electrician. Never use an adapter unless you are sure it is
properly grounded.
Note: Use of an adapter is not permitted in Canada.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type
plugs and 3-pole cord connectors that accept the plug from the
appliance. Use only extension cords that are intended for indoor
use. Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less
than the rating of the appliance. Do not use damaged extension
cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged.
Do not abuse extension cord and do not yank on any cord to
disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges.
IMPORTANT NOTES
CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against risk of electric
shock, connect to properly grounded outlets only.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLE
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the appliance. Do not
attempt to service this product. Do not immerse base in water or
other liquids. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the
hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord.
An extension cord may be used with care; however, the marked

5
electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the machine.
NOTE:This unit is intended for indoor use at commercial food
service establishments. It is not intended for household, industrial
or laboratory use. Operate unit at room temperature and if not, allow
time for unit to reach room temperature.
NOTE:For the most accurate temperature control, be sure to place
lid on vessel when in use.
NOTE:This unit will only properly operate when lled using tap
water. Pure (ltered) water or distilled water cannot be detected as
there are no dissolved solids in these water types. Salt can be added
to pure (ltered) water if needed, but regular tap water is highly
recommended for use.
NOTE:Heat water only. Do not use this unit to heat oil, grease or
other liquids. Other liquids may become unstable and hazardous.
INTRODUCTION TO SOUS VIDE COOKING
Sous vide (pronounced soo-veed) describes a method of cooking
foods, sealed in plastic vacuum bags, in a water bath at precisely
controlled temperatures, often much lower than those used in
traditional ovens, but for longer periods of time. The technique was
rst developed in France and named Sous Vide, French for “under
vacuum,” though it would more correctly be called “without much
air,” since the vacuum sealing doesn’t truly remove all the air from the
bag. Removing most of the air from the bags, however, does reduce
the chance of bacterial growth and spoilage. And the vacuum-sealed
pouches prevent evaporation and the loss of avor and nutrition,
keeping the foods cooked sous vide moist, tender and avorful.
The high-precision thermostat of the Waring®Thermal Circulators
water bath maintains the temperature with a tight window around
the set target temperature, so food can be cooked to the perfect
temperature effortlessly. Steaks prepared with the sous vide method
can be cooked to the desired temperature throughout, instead of
charred on the outside, overcooked below that, and perfect just in
the center.
A medium-rare steak cooked sous vide will be medium rare from
edge to edge; a medium steak will be medium throughout; a
medium-well steak, the same all the way through. No guesswork.
No critical timing. No chance of overcooking.

sealing systems for food storage and sous vide cooking.

FOOD SAFETY
Monitor food temperatures closely for food safety. The United States
Public Health Service recommends that hot food be heated and held
at a minimum of 140˚F (60˚C) to help prevent bacteria growth.
Vacuum-packed food creates a low oxygen environment. With
improper handling or preparation, bacteria can grow. We recommend
that a HACPP food safety management program be put in place.
Check with the US Food and Drug Administration (www.fda.gov)
for details.

NOTA:para un control preciso de la temperatura, mantenga la tapa
cerrada durante el funcionamiento.
NOTA:solamente llene la cuba con agua de la llave; la unidad no
detectará agua filtrada, agua mineral o agua destilada. Se puede
añadir sal al agua filtrada/mineral para ayudar a la detección, pero se
aconseja usar agua de la llave.
NOTA:use el aparato con agua solamente. No lo use con aceite,
grasa o cualquier otro líquido; esto puede ser peligroso.
INTRODUCCIÓN A LA COCCIÓN AL VACÍO
La cocción al vacío es un método de cocción innovador que consiste
en cocer alimentos envasados al vacío en un baño de agua cuya
temperatura es precisamente controlada por un termostato. Por lo
general, la temperatura de cocción es mucha más baja que la usada
para el horneado y el tiempo de cocción es más largo. Esta técnica,
desarrollada en Francia, no cuece realmente los alimentos "al vacío",
ya que el envasado al vacío no elimina completamente el aire de la
bolsa. Sin embargo, eliminar un máximo de aire durante el envasado
al vacío evita la propagación de bacterias y que los alimentos se
estropeen. La cocción al vacío evita la evaporación de la humedad

contenida en los alimentos y conserva su sabor y valor nutricional,
para resultados jugosos, tiernos y sabrosos.
Un termostato de alta precisión mantiene la temperatura del agua
constante con un mínimo margen de variación, para resultados
perfectos cada vez. Los bistecs cocidos al vacío son cocidos
uniformemente, en vez de carbonizados por fuera, muy cocidos por
dentro y perfectos en el centro solamente.
Cualquiera que sea el nivel de cocción deseado, poco hecho, no muy
hecho o al punto, la temperatura interna de la carne será la misma
por todas partes, sin que haya tenido que hacer conjeturas ni
cálculos, y sin riesgo de cocerla de más.

SEGURIDAD ALIMENTARIA
Para asegurar la seguridad alimentaria, es necesario monitorear
cuidadosamente la temperatura interna de los alimentos. El
Departamento de Salud Pública de los EE.UU. aconseja cocer los
alimentos hasta que su temperatura interna alcance por lo menos
60 ˚C (140 °F) para evitar la propagación de bacterias.
Los alimentos envasados al vacío crean un ambiente pobre en
oxígeno que favorece la propagación de bacterias en caso de
preparación o de conservación inadecuadas. Le recomendamos que
implemente un programa de seguridad alimentaria del tipo HACPP.
