Food safety guidelines

Important Safeguards

• This appliance must not be supplied through an external switch device such as a timer.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Carefully remove Primo from the packaging (retain packaging for storage). Ensure instructions

2. Primo's lid is made in two parts, ensure both parts are ﬁtted before using Primo.

3. Before using Primo for the ﬁrst time, wipe out the tank with a cloth and wash the rack and both

parts of the lid in warm soapy water.

4. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to wipe Primo. Rinse the parts under running

water and dry them thoroughly before using Primo.

5. Place Primo onto a stable countertop. Fill Primo with water. For optimal heat transfer, ﬁll 2/3

full with water. Do not overﬁll Primo as you will need to leave room for food to cook.

6. Primo must be at least half full in order to work correctly.

7. Place the tray and rack into the tank and ﬁt both parts of the lid. It is important the tray is used.

Do not place food directly onto the base of the bath.

8. Plug Primo into a suitable mains outlet.

9. The display will illuminate and brieﬂy display the software release number, followed by the tank

size (10L) and then display 4 dashes (-----). Primo is now ready to set the cooking temperature.

10. Once Primo has reached the set temperature, place your vacuum sealed food into the water,

ensuring vacuum pouches are separated using the rack provided. Replace the lid and cook for

the time dictated by your recipe.

11. Primo has a standby mode. With the temperature set, press and hold the Time Mode/Set button

for 3 seconds. The display will show ‘Off’. Press the Time Mode/Set button again and the display

Setting the timer

• Primo has a countdown timer function which will countdown from the set time. When the time

has elapsed, Primo will hold the temperature at the set point so food does not become cold.

temperature. The ‘End’ message can be cleared by pressing any button.

• The time can be adjusted whilst in cooking mode.

• To cancel the timer set the time to '00:00'.

Troubleshooting

My Primo display is showing ‘DRY’

You have started Primo without ﬁlling it with water or it has boiled dry during operation. To

reset Primo:

1. Unplug Primo and allow the unit to cool down for 10 minutes.

2. Fill with water and follow the setup instructions on page 7 of this manual.

My Primo display is showing ‘TRIP'

The over temperature protection has tripped because Primo has overheated:

1. Unplug Primo and allow the unit to cool down for 10 minutes.

2. Fill with water and follow the setup instructions on page 7 of this manual.

My Primo display is showing ‘POST’

Primo is still too hot to operate:

1. Unplug Primo and allow it to cool for a further 20 minutes.

2. If the display continues to show ‘POST’ then the unit has been damaged and should be returned

for repair/replacement.

I wish to change the temperature scale
