SETTING UP YOUR SOUS VIDE COOKER

USING YOUR SOUS VIDE COOKER

Your Sous Vide Cooker works best with 

straight-sided cookware and cooking vessels; 

it is also compatible with slightly tapered 

cookware and cooking vessels. Only use the 

Sous Vide Cooker on cooking vessels with a 

minimum height of 4.75 inches. The bottom of 

the LOWER HOUSING must rest on the bottom 

of the cooking vessel as shown in Figure 1.

For larger cooking vessels, the hinge of the 

CLAMP must rest on the rim of the cooking 

vessel as shown in Figure 2. Never use your 

Sous Vide Cooker suspended as illustrated 

in Figure 3 without either the bottom of the 

LOWER HOUSING on the bottom of the cooking 

vessel, or the hinge of the CLAMP resting on 

the rim of the cooking vessel.

Only use the appliance in a cooking vessel that 

is placed on a stable, level surface.

Place a trivet or potholder underneath the 

cooking vessel to avoid damage to your 

countertop or table as cooking vessel will get 

hot.

Add water to the cooking vessel, ensuring that the level is between the MINIMUM FILL LINE and MAXIMUM FILL LINE on 

the LOWER HOUSING. (We refer to this water that is added to the cooking vessel and then heated and circulated as the 

“water bath.”)

Be mindful that once you add your cooking bags with food to the pot, the water level will rise. We recommend filling the 

empty vessel with water only to the midway point of the MINIMUM FILL LINE and  MAXIMUM FILL LINE. Check the water 

level again once you have added your food to ensure that you do not exceed the MAXIMUM FILL LINE. 

Plug the POWER CORD into a grounded 120V outlet.

The Sous Vide Cooker uses touch sensitive controls. The buttons respond to light 

fingertip touch. There is no need to press firmly on any button on the CONTROL PANEL. 

Always contact POWER BUTTON and SET BUTTON within the circle as shown in Figure 

4 not outside the circle as shown in Figure 5.

Touch the POWER BUTTON for 5 seconds until you hear a beep and the CONTROL 

PANEL illuminates. 

You can change the temperature between Fahrenheit and Celsius by simultaneously 

touching both the POWER BUTTON and SET BUTTON.

Touch and release the SET BUTTON to scroll through the SET TIME and SET TEMP 

settings. The display for the selected setting will blink indicating you can make changes. It will stop blinking automatically 

after 10 seconds. 

Use the SET BUTTON to change the Programmed Time (SET TIME). The time is displayed in 00:00 (hh:mm). When the hh 

(

00

:00) begins blinking, rotate the ADJUSTMENT WHEEL until you reach your desired time. Touch the SET BUTTON again.  

When the mm (00:

00

) begins blinking, turn the ADJUSTMENT WHEEL until you reach your desired time. 

When the Programmed Water Temperature (SET TEMP) setting in the upper right hand corner is blinking, you can adjust the 

cooking temperature by rotating the ADJUSTMENT WHEEL. 

NOTE: You cannot change the Elapsed Time (WORK TIME) setting. This feature will show the amount of time the Sous Vide 

Cooker has been working in case you do not turn it off once the programmed time has elapsed.

Once your time and temperature settings are made, touch the POWER BUTTON to start the water heating and circulator. 

The Current Water Temperature in the center of the display indicates the actual water temperature of the water bath. When 

the Current Water Temperature reaches the Programmed Water Temperature (SET TEMP), the appliance will beep every 3 

seconds, indicating that you should now add your food to the cooking vessel. Once the food has been added, touch the SET 

BUTTON for 3 seconds to cancel the alarm and begin the countdown timer. 

When the timer finishes counting down, the appliance will again begin beeping every 3 seconds. Touch the SET BUTTON for 

3 seconds to cancel the alarm. The Elapsed Time (WORK TIME) will continue counting even after the Programmed Time (SET 

TIME) has expired. 

To turn the Sous Vide Cooker off, touch the POWER BUTTON for 5 seconds.
