10

Press the Start/Stop button. After a few seconds, the
Agitator will begin stirring the water. When the desired
temperature is reached the Sous Vide will beep. To change
the temperature or time in the middle of the cycle press the
Start/Stop Button. The temperature will flash on the screen.
You can then adjust the temperature or time to a new level
and press the Start/Stop button to resume the cycle. You
can also press the Power Button to turn the machine off.
Pressing the Power Button, then pressing Start/Stop again,
will heat the Sous Vide to the preset temperature of 133F.

Once desired temperature is reached, remove the Lid and,
using tongs, carefully place the vacuum-sealed food in the
water. Be sure that the bag is fully immersed and that there
is room for the water to circulate. Replace the Lid. Do not
remove the Lid at any time during cooking. The Sous Vide
cooks at a very low temperature and will take some time to
regain any heat that is lost.

13 Once the cooking time has elapsed, 3 beeps will sound and
the Power Button will illuminate, indicating the Sous Vide
has ceased operation. Remove the Lid, then with a pair of
tongs, remove your food.
Caution: Be careful as the water and the bag will be hot. Set
the food aside and let it cool down. Some condensation can
be present. Be carful when lifting lid off the Sous Vide.
Note:
If the food will be served within a few hours, it can
remain in the water bath. Refer to the following table on
page 18 to see recommended standing time limitations. If
you are planning to store the food in the refrigerator, first
place the bags in iced water to reduce the temperature.

If your recipe calls for it, or you prefer, you can sear your
food in a skillet on medium-low heat.
15
Once your food is seared to perfection, remove from skillet,
and serve.
