Operation
Before First Use
- Remove all packaging and transport material from the appliance.
- Wash the lid and the inside of the pot with hot water and a little dish-washing liquid and dry the parts thoroughly.
- Place the appliance on a flat surface.
- Put the stirrer into the middle of the tank (middle of the rut), then cover with the filter cap and ensure it is seated firmly in place.
- Fill the pot with lukewarm or hot water, observing the min and max level indicators. Note it must cover the food and not exceed the max indicator once the food is added.
- Use the sous vide rack if required.
- Place the lid on the appliance.
Seasoning
- Marinate or add spices, herbs, butter, oil, etc. before sealing the vacuum bag.
Vacuum sealing
- The food must be vacuum-sealed to remove air and moisture. This ensures the foods retain their natural flavour and nutritional content. Vacuum sealing also helps open the pores of meat, poultry, fish and shellfish, so that the marinade and spices are absorbed better and the food is more flavourful.
- Oxygen and moisture in the ambient air reduces the flavour, nutritional content and structure of food and it is therefore important to use a high-quality vacuum sealer to remove air and moisture before the bag is sealed.
Cooking
- Once the water has reached the required temperature, the vacuum bags containing the food should be placed gently in the water. Make sure the bags are completely covered and the water can circulate, so the food cooks evenly.
Browning
- Some food, especially meat, may need to be browned in order to enhance their appearance and flavour after being cooked in a sous vide. Remove from the bag and brown it quickly on a very hot frying pan or grill rack. This causes the fat and proteins to caramelise and enhances the flavour.
Preparation
- Food for sous vide cooking must be fresh. Meat, poultry, fish and shellfish should be stored correctly below 5°C before cooking.
- Only use brand-new and clean vacuum bags.
- Keep fresh and cooked food apart.
- Wash your hands and work area thoroughly clean before handling food.
- Cut food according to the Cooking Temperatures and Times table in the following section of this manual.
The following food types are well-suited to sous vide cooking.
- Beef, veal, lamb, pork and game.
- Chicken, turkey and duck.
- Lean and oily fish, lobster tails and scallops.
- Root vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, parsnips, beetroot and turnips.
- Crisp vegetables such as peas, asparagus, corn, broccoli, cauliflower, eggplant, onions and squash.
- Hard fruits such as apples and pears.
- Soft fruits such as mango, plums, apricots, peaches, nectarines, papaya and strawberries.

Cooking Process
- Connect to power: the unit will beep once and be in standby mode. “START/STOP” will illuminate.
- Press“START/STOP”. The default time and temperature will show on display.
- Press “TEMP/TIME” to select the temperature, then press + or - to adjust the desired temperature.
- Press “TEMP/TIME” again to select the time, then press + or - to adjust the desired time.
- Press “START/STOP” and the unit will begin preheating. The PREHEAT indicator will illuminate and the stirrer will begin circulating the water.
- When preheating is finished, the“PREHEAT” indicator will turn off and the “START/STOP” indicator and the “READY” indicator will illuminate. If there is no operation made within 3 minutes, the“READY” indicator will turn off.
- Lift the lid off and carefully place the food in the water.
- When the appliance starts counting down, desired time/temperature will display in “SET” area; the set temperature and time will display in "LIVE" area.
- The unit will beep once when cooking is complete and it will enter standby mode. Another programme can be started.
Note:
- Press and hold “TEMP/TIME” for 3 seconds to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit.
- Temperature and time can be adjusted during operation.
- Press “START/STOP” to cancel the cooking process.
- Do not remove the lid during cooking unless absolutely necessary. The appliance cooks at a very low temperature, so it takes a long time to regain any heat loss. If condensation on the inside of the lid blocks your view, you can tilt the lid gently away from you so that condensation runs down into the pot.
- Do not move the central stirrer in any way during operation. If it is knocked, stop operation, replace the stirrer and filter cap, then restart the unit.
- Ensure the bags are completely sealed before cooking begins and after cooking is finished.
- Food can be left in the pot for a short time: refer to the Cooking Temperatures and Times table.
- If the food is to be stored in the fridge for later use, immediately chill place the bags to quickly reduce the temperature of the food.
Memory Programme
- Press “FAV” to cycle between 6 pre-set programmes.
- Adjust temperature and time and then press and hold “FAV” to save the preset.
