1.3 - DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
1.3.1 - Overview
Our firm designed and constructed the Softcooker to guarantee the following:
- the sturdiness and stability of all the components;
- easy handling, with a stainless steel handle so it can be carried with convenience;
- high precision heating control;
- a circulation fan for excellent mixing of the product;
- a max work depth of 16.5 cm;
- optimal operation up to 43 litres;
- an operating temperature of between 24 and 99°, at a precision of +/- 0.3°C.
The models stated in this manual are constructed in conformity with EEC Directi
ve
2006/
42 and subsequent amendments.
The manufacturer cannot assume any liability for accidents if the machine has been
changed, tampered with, used without its safety devices or put to a use for which it
was not intended.
1.3.2 - Structural characteristics
The Softcooker was made entirely of AISI 304 stainless steel to ensure hygiene and
resistance to acids and salts, as well as excellent resistance to oxidisation.
-
T
he heating element consists of a electro-polished coated spiral element devised
especially for immersion in water.
-
A
stainless steel handle for convenient handling of the machine.
-
A
motor circuit breaker that detects overvoltage and overheating.
1.4 - Intended use
The Softcooker is designed for indirectly cooking food packed under vacuum in bags
and immersed in water at a controller temperature (vacuum-packed food).
It does not cook food in any other way or heat liquids other than water.
Use the Softcooker only with the appropriate Gastronorm tanks equipped with a cover.
If used with other containers, close the container with a suitably shaped cover so as to
limit the escape of water vapour as far as possible.
1.5 - Unintended use
The machine must be put to the sole use intended by the manufacturer; in particular:
- Do not use the machine unless it has been installed correctly and all the protective
devices are in good condition and properly fitted, in order to prevent the risk of seri-
ous harm to yourself
.
- Do not touch the electrical components without having first unplugged the machine:
risk of electrocution.
- Do not start up the machine when this is not working properly.
- Before using the machine, make sure the machine is perfectly safe and that any
dangerous conditions have been eliminated in an appropriate manner. If there are
any irregularities, stop the machine and request the assistance of a maintenance
technician.
- Do not allow unauthorized operators to use the machine.
Emergency action in the event of electrical accidents first of all, remove the victim from
the conductor (as he is likely to be unconscious). This operation is dangerous.
The victim in this case is a conductor: touching him is to risk electrocution.
6
It is advisable therefore to disconnect the contacts directly from the line supply valve,
or if this is not possible, move the victim away using insulation materials (pieces of
wood or PVC, cloth, leather, etc.).
The victim should be given immediate medical attention and taken to a
hospital.
1.6 - Master data
Please state the machine’s exact "Model", "Serial number" and "Year of manufac-
ture" when contacting our assistance service. This will help us give you a quick and
efficient response.
We will ask you to state the machine model and serial number whenever you contact
us, so make sure to check this on the data plate, pictured in fig. 1.
1.7 – Protective and safety devices
ATTENTION!
Make sure the safety devices are in good condition and correctly installed before using
the machine.
Check these before each work shift to ensure they are fitted and in order.
If they are not, you should inform the person responsible for maintenance.
- A
Element protective cell: this prevents contact with the element and fan which can
seriously wound the operator.
- B
Automatic protective device in the case of dry operation:
the machine stops and an error (ERR) message appears on the screen when the
level of the water falls below the minimum permitted (75 mm from the top of the
immersion tank).
- C
Disabling device: the machine stops and an error (HIGH) message appears on
the screen when there is a fault with one of the probes and their temperature
readings are different.
