3.2 Hoe dit werk

The VAVA Sous Vide Cooker uses a PTC heating core and a high-quality motor to heat and circulate water precisely. This creates a consistent temperature bath, cooking food evenly and preventing overcooking. The immersion circulator maintains the set temperature for the duration of your cooking time.

6. Onderhoud en Skoonmaak

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your VAVA Sous Vide Cooker.

• Voor skoonmaak: Always unplug the device from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely.
• Buitenste skoonmaak: Wipe the exterior of the cooker with a soft, damp lap. Moenie skuurmiddels gebruik of die boonste gedeelte van die eenheid in water dompel nie.
• Immersion Tube Cleaning: For mineral deposits or scale buildup, fill a pot with water and add white vinegar (approximately 1 cup of vinegar per gallon of water). Attach the sous vide cooker and set the temperature to 140°F (60°C) for 30 minutes. This will help dissolve mineral deposits. After the cycle, unplug, let cool, and rinse the immersion tube under running water.
