Program types
To access the touch-screen display function, check that the master switch is set to ON, that
the desired unit of measurement for the temperature has been set (°Celsius or °
Fahrenheit), and make sure that you have filled or added water to the tank up to the
maximum level indicated on the sides of the machine.
The Softcooker operates in two modes:
-
manual cooking
, with the cooking temperature and time set manually;
-
automatic cooking
, using one of the ten preset programs.
5.3.1
-
Manual cooking
In this case, no stored program is in use (no dot on), and the temperature and time must
be set manually.
Press the
TEMPERATURE
button and then use the
UP
button located
above the 3 temperature digits to set the desired temperature; now press the
PROGRAMMES/CONFIRM
button to confirm the setting.
Subsequently, press the
TIME
button to set the duration of the cycle and confirm it with the
PROGRAMMES/CONFIRM
button; the cycle will start as soon as the Softcooker emits a
buzzer to signal that the set temperature has been reached.
You can stop the cycle at any time with the
STOP
button.
5.3.2
-
Automatic cooking
In this case, one of the ten programs has been selected. To display these programs,
press
PROGRAM
and then use the button to display all the stored cooking cycles. To
select one of the programs, press
START
to run it.
If none of the programs is suitable, you can edit and save an existing program.
Within one of the ten memorised programmes, press the
TEMPERATURE
button, set the
temperature with the
UP
buttons and confirm it with the
PROGRAMMES/CONFIRM
button; next, press the
TIME
button and use the
UP
buttons to choose the desired value
then confirm with the
PROGRAMMES/CONFIRM
button.
The edited program has now been saved and can be used for cooking.
Once the machine has reached the water temperature setpoint, and at the end of each
cooking cycle, the machine emits a beep.
For the NFC model:
move the bag with the core probe (
ref. 14 Fig. 2)
close to the NFC reader located on the
side of the machine
ref. 13 Fig. 2.
At this point, the display will show some lines and
“NFC” to signal that the machine is communicating with the core probe.
Wait 5–6 seconds for the core temperature reading and the display will then show the
measured temperature. Put the bag back into the tank.
WARNING:
at the end of any cooking process or as soon as the machine is
immersed in water, the impeller (ref. 9 Fig. 2) will start working. This condition is
entirely normal and only occurs at temperatures >30°C.
WARNING:
once cooking terminates, take the machine out of the tank, otherwise it will
emit beeps and show an error message (Rem H2o) on the display as a reminder.
