Sous Vide Water Oven

11

What if the pouch floats?

Your vacuum sealer should eliminate any possibility of this happening. The Sous Vide technique is heavily 
dependent on there being nothing but the thin, plastic pouch between the food and the water. If air pockets 
develop in the pouch, then this could result in uneven cooking. 
Vegetables can be the worst culprits for floating pouches. It is best to check pouches 10–15 minutes into the 
allotted cooking period. If they are floating, remove them, split them open, dry the edges and vacuum  
seal again.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Ensure that the Sous Vide is switched off and unplugged from the mains power supply.  
Before cleaning, allow the water in the bath to fully cool before emptying. 
Wipe the Sous Vide main unit and non-stick cooking bath with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.  
Clean the cooking rack in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. 
Do not immerse any electrical components in water or any other liquid. 
Periodically clean the interior of the non-stick cooking bath with a soft cloth or sponge and warm, soapy water.  
Rinse with clear water and empty the contents of the bath. Dry thoroughly. 
The Sous Vide and accessories are not suitable for dishwasher use.

Troubleshooting

The Sous Vide will not switch on.

Check that the plug is inserted into the mains power 
supply correctly. 
Ensure that you are pressing the On/Off switch for 
3 seconds or more.

Water/moisture is found underneath the Sous Vide.

When using the Sous Vide for prolonged periods 
of time at high temperatures, moisture may 
accumulate on and over the lip of the Sous Vide 
and run down onto the work surface. If this occurs, 
remove the lid using heat-resistant oven gloves and 
allow the water to trickle back into the water bath.
