1.2 - Safety equipment
The mechanical and electrical safety equipment is conforming with Directives
2014/35,
2006/42.
The Softcooker is therefore equipped with electrical and mechanical safety equipment
both when operating and when being cleaned or serviced. There are still “
RESIDUAL
RISKS”
which cannot be completely eliminated, which are highlighted in this manual
by the wording “
CAUTION
“; they are related to the risks of burning or contusion when
loading and unloading the product, and when handling or cleaning the machine.

Description of the machine
1.3.1
-
General description
The Softcooker is designed and fabricated specifically to guarantee that:
-
all its parts are stable and robustly constructed;
-
it is easy to handle with its integral handle, which makes it easy to move and
transport;
-
the heating is temperature regulated to high precision;
-
the impeller ensures excellent mixing of the temperature for loads up to 43 l;
-
the working temperature is 24 to 99.9 °C / 75.2 - 199.9 °F, with a precision of +/-
0.1.
1.3.2

Construction
The Softcooker is made in anodized aluminium, to ensure a stable structure, and also
has:
-
A large 5” touch screen display, rated IP 67;
-
A heating element consisting of two armoured resistances;
-
ABS plastic or AISI 304 stainless steel sides;
-
A device to shut down the motor when overcurrent or overheating are detected.

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 as far as possible water vapour from being released into the environment and
towards the machine itself.
