CARE AND CLEANING
• Unplug the Lakeland Sous Vide Multi Cooker and allow to cool completely before cleaning.
• Before the first use and after every use, clean each part thoroughly.
• Periodically check all parts before reassembly for any signs of damage, wear and tear.
• Always use plastic, nylon or silicone spatulas etc. – metal tools will damage non stick coatings.
• Never immerse the unit in water or any other liquid.
• To clean the unit and control panel, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry before storing.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool or abrasive materials or cleansers.
• Wash the inner pan in hot, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Store the Lakeland Sous Vide Multi Cooker with the power cable disconnected and inside the
inner pan for safe keeping. Never wrap it tightly around the Multi cooker
• Do not leave water sitting in the bath after use. Allow the water to cool, remove the racks,
and using the offset handles for stability, pour the bath contents into the sink.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Following are some common problems that can occur when using the Multichef. Please review
the problems, their possible cause and any corrective action that should be taken to ensure a
successful outcome.
Problem Possible cause Solution
The food does not seem to be
cooking
The machine is not switched
on at one of several points
Check the electrical lead is
properly in place, the power
is on at the socket and the
power is switched ,on the
machine. Finally check you
have pressed start once you
have set the temperature and
time.
Water gets into the product
pouch The bag has not been sealed
properly.
Check you are using purpose-
made vacuum bags and check
that there is no food in the
seal before you seal the bag.
The product does not seem
fully cooked at the end of the
cooking time
A variety of things can affect
the cooking time- eg the
thickness of the food, the
starting temperature of
the food to be cooked, the
starting temperature of the
water bath.
Check all food is fully cooked
before removing it from the
water bath, add on more time
if required.
Food cooked in the slow
cooker seems very wet, or the
sauce may seem thin
The slow cooker lid seals well
and so little moisture escapes
during cooking this can make
it wetter than food cooked
other ways
Reduce the amount of liquid
in the initial recipe (you can
always add more later). Turn
up the temperature and lift
the lid partly off the Multi
cooker until the liquid reduces
I cannot get the food in the
inner pan to brown on my
hob
The inner pan will not cook
on induction hobs
If you have an induction hob,
then brown meats etc. in a
sauce pan and then add them
to the inner pan and cook as
normal.
