Sous Vide Water Oven

Instructions for Use
Vacuum Sealing Food
Use only food-grade, plastic, vacuum-sealable pouches or zip-lock bags to package food for cooking in the
Sous Vide. Seal according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If vacuum sealing, only use pouches certified
suitable for vacuum cooking.
Ensure that the Sous Vide is switched off and unplugged from the mains power supply.
Place the food into the bag, taking care not to overfill. Fold back the opening of the bag before filling to
prevent food from becoming trapped or spilling.
Using your vacuum sealer, securely seal the bag.
Note:
The Sous Vide does not include either zip-lock bags or the vacuum sealer and bags; these must be
purchased separately and are available from several, good retailers.
Cooking with the Sous Vide
Fill the inner, removable water bath with water, then plug the Sous Vide into the mains power supply and
switch on. To switch on the Sous Vide, press and hold the ‘On/Off button’ for approximately 3 seconds. The
power indicator light and the digital display will illuminate.
To set the cooking temperature, press the ‘Set Temp’ button. The display will automatically show 40 ºC;
press the ‘+ Up’ and ‘– Down’ buttons to set your desired target temperature.
To set the timer, press the ‘Set Timer’ button, then press the ‘+ Up’ and ‘– Down’ buttons to set to your
desired target time (between 1 and 24 hours). The Sous Vide will preheat for 1 hour before the timer begins
to count down.
Pressing the ‘Set Timer’ button will automatically give you a default temperature setting of 40 ºC and a 1
hour cooking time.
Once the desired temperature and cooking time has been selected, press the ‘Start’ button for the Sous Vide
to begin heating the water. Once the desired water temperature has been reached, the Sous Vide will emit
an audible sound. Once the sound has been emitted, insert the sealed cooking pouch(es) carefully into the
water and the timer will start to count down.
The Sous Vide will automatically switch off once the desired cooking time has ended. This will be confirmed
by another audible sound.
Remove the pouch(es) from the water, using an appropriate utensil, then remove the food from the pouch(es)
and serve. For the best results, the contents of the pouch(es) should be seared in a hot pan, on a grill or with
a kitchen torch to brown the surface (when cooking meats) to caramelise the flavours.
Note:
If you press the temperature button during cooking, a reminder of the current temperature setting will
be displayed. If you press the timer button, nothing will happen. The display will automatically return to the
countdown display after a few seconds of displaying the temperature.
Caution:
Ensure that the water has reached the desired temperature and the beep has sounded, before
placing the food pouch(es) into the Sous Vide.
Caution:
When placing the sealed pouches into the water, take care to avoid splashes from the hot water.
