Dear Customer,
Thank you for purchasing this piece of Clifton Food Range® equipment. To get the
best performance from your equipment and for your own safety please read these
instructions carefully before use.
GENERAL NOTES
1. This product is designed for kitchen use only. Always follow good kitchen
practice.
2. Fill the tank with either water or oil prior to connection to electrical supply.
3. Use only water or food grade oils within their specified temperature range.
If the alarm lamp is illuminated the liquid temperature may be above its
recommended maximum.
4. The water bath is designed primarily for sous vide/low temperature method
using water. If oil is used for direct cooking, the bath will self adjust to oil. If
reverting to water you may need to run the bath a couple of times in order that
the controller relearns/adjusts its parameters for water and vice versa. When
heating oil the FILL message may be displayed. This is due the nature of the oil
heating process. Oil heats in layers and when the set temperature is reached
the FILL message will stop. To speed up the heating process the oil can be
stirred occassionally taking care to avoid spills.
5. Use caution when topping up/draining the tank.
6. Drain before moving the water bath. Allow the liquid to cool to 40˚C before
draining.
7. In the event of the over or under temperature alarm being illuminated do not
touch the liquid as it may be very hot or cold. Take care when lifting the lid -
steam and vapours can cause scolding.
8. Always use a lid when operating at temperatures above 60˚C for continued
optimal temperature control.
9. If this product is not used in accordance with these instructions then basic
safety protection may be affected.
10. The mains supply cord fitted to this product is heat resistant and should be
replaced with an equivalent type by a qualified electrician.
11. Ensure that the power supply has a safety earth (ground) terminal.
12. Ensure that the mains switch and power supply connector are accessible
during use.
13. Before using any cleaning or decontamination method please refer to the
Maintenance and Cleaning section to ensure the proposed method will not
damage the unit.
14. Connect only to a power supply with the corresponding voltage to that
specified on the rating label positioned on the rear of the unit.

LOCATION
The water bath must be placed on a smooth, level and sturdy work surface,
preferably near a drain for emptying. Use in a ventilated kitchen. Suitable for use
in ambient temperatures 5°C to 40°C with a maximum humidity 80% (temperature
31°C) decreasing to 50% (temperature 40°C).
DO NOT block or restrict ventilation slots. DO NOT place directly next to hot heat
surfaces or hot appliances. ENSURE that there is sufficient space around the bath to
allow it to provide optimum temperature control.
SAFETY
Do not touch any electrical contacts or open any closure panels.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!!
POWER LEAD AND CONNECTION TO ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
Check the electrical supply is compatible with the rating label.
IF IN DOUBT CONSULT AN ELECTRICIAN. THE PRODUCT MUST BE
EARTHED! Where the mains supply or plug connection differs refer
to local regulations or consult an electrician.
LIQUID LEVEL
Fill the tank with water for sous vide method or oil, prior to connection to the
power supply. When using oil there is an initial heating period where the over
temperature alarm will sound and heaters cut in and out momentarily. This will
cycle until the oil becomes homogenised when normal control will resume.
Minimum Liquid Level: Unstirred Baths: must be at least half full. Stirred Baths: must
cover the heating coil. Maximum Liquid Level: must not exceed the ridge in the
tank.
If the water bath fails to maintain water temperature or to heat
up, please ensure there is sufficient water/oil to meet minimum
levels.
We recommend this is checked regularly while the water/oil is in
use.
A “FILL” message will appear to indicate low liquid level.

LOW LIQUID LEVEL
If the water/oil drops below the recommended level, or the unit is inadvertently
switched on without water/oil a “FILL” warning message appears on the display as a
visual alert. The heaters will cycle on and off until the correct water level is achieved.
• FILL MESSAGE = TOP UP WATER LEVEL •
To reset the low liquid level warning:
Unstirred Baths: top up liquid level and controller will auto reset.
Stirred Baths: top up liquid level and switch the unit off then on again.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Please ensure that the washing agent and sanitizing agent are BSI
accredited and approved by the H&S department for use on
kitchen equipment and stainless steel within your kitchen.
DISCONNECT THE BATH FROM THE POWER SUPPLY PRIOR TO
CLEANING
BASIC CLEANING
The Clifton Food Range bath should be emptied at the end of each day, then for
exterior, interior surfaces:
• WASH • RINSE • DRY • SANITIZE •
Drain Outlet: Please ensure that the above cleaning process includes the outlet
on the base of the tank, paying particular attention to flushing the outlet and tap
thoroughly.
Scale Build Up: In hard water areas limescale can build up and reduce the efficiency
of the water bath. Cleaning at the end of each day can prevent this but periodically
it may be necessary to descale the bath. Add 1 litre of vinegar to the normal
capacity of water and heat for 1 hour to 50˚C.
URGENT CLEANING
If a vacuum pouch breaks whilst immersed in the bath it must be removed and
the bath immediately cleaned down in accordance with the basic cleaning routine
above.
