Bath/tank not included. Use with a heat-resistant container and maintain water level above the
minimum mark for safe operation.
Safety first: Never operate the circulator without water or let the water level fall below
the minimum indicator. Doing so will activate the float switch and shut off the heating element.
Pair the 60038 circulator with Vollrath vacuum pack machines and charbroilers for a complete sous vide
workflow that delivers juicy, repeatable results—every single time.
