CAUTION:
Use minimal amounts of spices and herbs to season your food. Certain herbs or aromatic
plants, such as rosemary or garlic give off a very intense taste that is reinforced through the
sous vide cooking method. Note: Certain types of green vegetables can turn brown through
sous vide cooking, this includes broccoli and green asparagus.
If you want to put several vacuum bags in the pot at the same time, mark the bags
beforehand with a waterproof marker. Thus, you will always know which foods are in which
bag, and you can precisely comply with the cooking time required for each food. The
appliance can heat up to 20 liters of water.
1. Fill the pot with tap water, using the water
level indicator of the device. The water should
be lukewarm to achieve an ideal result. In this
regard, pay attention to the
Minimum indicator and the
Maximum indicator on the front
of the appliance. The water level
should be precisely between the
two indicators. When placing the food in the
pot, the water level will increase, please keep
this in mind when filling the pot with water.
2. Open the fixing clamp by pressing it. Fasten
the appliance on the pot; the wall of the pot
must be between the appliance and fixing
clamp. This ensures that the appliance is
fastened and cannot tip over. If the pot height
is sufficient to fix the appliance in place with the clamp, you can simply place the
appliance in the pot. However, in so doing, always ensure that it cannot fall over.
3. Plug the mains plug of the appliance into an electrical outlet (220- 240 V, 50/60 Hz).
4. Press the ON/OFF switch on the operating display and hold on for at least five
seconds. The upper line of the display will show the working time and set time of the
water, the middle line shows the current temperature. The lower line shows the set
temperature.
