Sous-vide is not possible without vacuum-
packed food.
The following accessories are not included
in the scope of supply, but are required:
-
Vacuum-sealing device
-
Cold and heat-resistant vacuum bags.
6. How to use
6.1
Unpacking
1. Remove all parts from the packaging.
2. Check that all parts are present and in-
tact.
6.2
Preparation
•
Clean the device prior to its first
use (see “Cleaning” on
page 15)!
1. Place the base unit
6
on a level, dry
and non-slip surface, so that it can nei-
ther fall nor slip off.
2. Place the bottom grid
3
into the water
container
4
. The bottom grid ensures
that the food is always in contact with
water on all sides, and does not lie di-
rectly on the bottom.
NOTE:
if you intend to place multiple vacuum bags
into the water bath (e.g. for steaks), place
the separating grid
10
onto the bottom
grid
3
.
3. Pour hot water into the water contain-
er
4
:
minimum 2.5 litres, maximum 5.5 litres
of water. Note that the water level will
still rise when you add the food. The
level must not rise above the marking
MAX
17
, or fall below the marking
MIN
17
.
NOTE:
the temperature of the water should
be as close as possible to the temperature
that you require for the next cooking pro-
cess. This allows you to avoid long waiting
times before the set temperature is reached.
You can find the required temperature e.g.
in the Cooking Table (see “Cooking table”
on page 12).
Examples for preheating time:
-
Preheating 5.5 litres from approx.
20 °C to approx. 62 °C: duration ap-
prox. 1.5 hours
-
Preheating 5.5 litres from approx.
40 °C to approx. 62 °C: duration ap-
prox. 1 hour.
The water should not be hotter than the de-
sired temperature, however.
4. Place the water container
4
into the
base unit
6
.
5. If you have not yet vacuum-sealed the
food that you wish to cook, do so now.
6. Look at the recipe or in the chapter
“Cooking times” on page 11 to find
out the time and temperature for the
food to be cooked.
7. Plug the mains plug
9
into the socket
8
at the back of the device, and into a
wall socket. You will hear a beep, and
the display
11
will light up briefly.
