2. M ount the Precision Cooker onto the pot or container and plug the unit into a wall outlet. The unit will indicate the CURRENT TEMPERATURE in larger digits. The smaller digits indicate the SET TEMPERATURE, which will begin displaying the default temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Caution: When mounting the Precision Cooker unit, make sure that the water level remains in between the "MIN" and "MAX" lines indicated on the shaft of the unit. 3. S et the temperature by scrolling the CONTROL DIAL to reach the desired temperature. Note: For basic sous vide cooking information, refer to the cooking guide located on page 8 of this manual. More useful information and recipes can be found at www. chefmansousvide.com. For additional content that is sure to greatly enhance your sous vide cooking experience, visit the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store and download the Chefman Sous Vide app. 4. P ress the START/STOP button (red color) on the screen to begin preheating the water. Once pressed, the red icon will turn blue indicating that the unit is in use. 5. P lace the uncooked food inside a bag. While any re-sealable food grade bag will work, Chefman recommends vacuum sealing the food beforehand in order to marinate and to fully lock in all of the flavor. The Chefman RJ45 Vacuum Sealer is recommended as a very good option to vacuum seal foods for optimum flavor. 6. W hen using a re-sealable bag to cook, keep the bag slightly open on top and immerse the bag into the water at an angle leaving the open corner jutting out of the water. At this point, proceed to seal the final portion of the bag. In this way, the water from the pot will serve to push air out of the bag for optimum sealing. 7. O nce the CURRENT TEMPERATURE displays the same value as the SET TEMPERATURE, the desired temperature has been achieved. At this point, use a clamp and fasten the sealed bag of food to the inside of the pot to keep the bag from moving around in the water.

Page 12: Cleaning And Maintenance
Cleaning & Maintenance Cleaning and Descaling Instructions: In most instances, a basic cleaning is sufficient to clean the Precision Cooker. Basic cleaning is performed by using a sponge or damp cloth and then drying the unit. It is recommended to perform descaling periodically, particularly if the unit is used very often or if it is used in a region with hard or mineral rich water. 1. M ount the Precision Cooker to a pot and fill to the MAX level indicated on the shaft of the unit with an equal mixture of water and distilled white vinegar. 2. Using the CONTROL DIAL, program the SET TEMPERATURE to 158° F. 3. A fter the SET TEMPERATURE is reached, allow the water and vinegar mixture to continue circulating for an additional 20 minutes. Your Precision Cooker is now descaled. 4. Unplug the unit and allow to cool. 5. M ake sure to rinse the unit in cool water and to dry it off before storing away for future use.

Troubleshooting 1. The unit will not turn on. Solution: Make sure that the machine is properly plugged into a grounded outlet and check the power cable to see if it is ripped or worn down. Do not use the machine if the power cord is damaged. 2. Unit is making a constant beeping sound and the display is not working. Solution: The unit is not submerged in water between the "MIN" and "MAX" line.

Place the unit in water with the water reaching a level between the "MIN" and "MAX" lines to reset. Press the START/STOP button to stop the beeping. MODEL: RJ39-V2-BLACK... -
Page 14: Tips And Tricks
Enjoy our helpful guide to pampering your food in a kitchen Jacuzzi! POT PICKIN' Select a pot or container that is large enough to allow the Precision Cooker as well as the bag (or bags) of food to be clipped on opposite sides. Take care to allow enough room to ensure that the unit will never touch the bag. In the event of cooking multiple bags in one pot, make sure that there is enough room for all the bags to be entirely immersed in water. SPICE IT RIGHT For best results and maximum flavor use dry or powdered spices. You can use sauces or marinades as well, but make sure the liquid is non-alcoholic, has a low acidity, and isn't meant to be used as a brine. If you’re set on that acidy taste, marinate the meat like you usually would, just be sure to remove it from the marinade before you cook sous vide. Once you put the food in the bag with desired seasoning or marinade, make sure to evenly distribute contents for even cooking and flavor. SEAL IT TIGHT Best results are achieved when all of the air in the bag is removed. While any kind of food grade plastic sealable bag can be used, some prefer vacuum sealed bags since the vacuum sealer removes all the air out of the bag. When using a zipper lock bag, first seal the bag most of the way and leave a small opening. Slowly submerge the bag into the water which will push the remaining air out, and seal the remaining portion before fully submerging. BATH TIME! Ensure that the food remains completely submerged under the water throughout the cooking process by filling the pot with water until just below the MAX line. To prevent the food from floating above the water, use clips to firmly attach the bag to the container wall, or place a weighted (heat safe) object on top of the bag to keep it submerged. Evaporation can be reduced by covering the container or using sous vide balls. MODEL: RJ39-V2-BLACK... - Page 15 Tips and Tricks for Precision Cooking TIMING OPTIONAL Because the Precision Cooker controls the temperature and cooking so precisely, it is unlikely to overcook or burn even if you decide to forgo the timer and auto-shut off. If you want, though, the Precision Cooker is equipped with a timer that will automatically shut off when cooking is complete, so you can take a nap without setting an alarm. Use the Cooking Guide on page 7 to determine the correct time & temperature for desired results. SEAR AWAY WITH ME Searing is recommended when cooking meat, fish, or poultry. Remove the food from the bag and sear by using a pan, broiler, or barbecue (Cast Iron pans are recommended but not required). Searing the food will give it color and texture, and will lock in the flavors for restaurant quality results. MODEL: RJ39-V2-BLACK...
