NOTE: For best results when using the
Sous Vide function, do not use the unit
prior and do not use warm water.
NOTES: It can take 10 minutes longer
for the unit to preheat. Prepare up to
3 pounds of ingredients during this time
by seasoning them, then placing each
portion in a single-use resealable
plastic bag.
For cook times of 4+ hours with a
temperature above 160°F, double-bag
each portion of food or wrap in plastic
wrap before placing in the single-use
resealable bag. This will help protect food
during the long period of submersion.

5 The unit will beep when preheating is
complete and "ADD FOOD" will show
on the display. Open the lid and place
bags in the water using the water
displacement method: Working with
one bag at a time, leave a corner of the
bag unzipped—as you slowly lower the
bag into the water, the pressure of the
water will force the air out of the bag.
When just the bag’s seal is above the
water line, finish closing the bag, making
sure no water gets inside. Keep the
bag’s seal just above the water line.
6 Close the lid.
7 When cook time reaches zero, the unit
will beep and "End" will flash 3 times on
the display.
NOTES: When reheating food that
has been cooked using the Sous Vide
function, use the Sous Vide function
again. After preheating the water, add
food in the resealable bags and cook
approximately 15–20 minutes using the
desired cook temperature.
Sous Vide is almost always the first step
in the cooking process. Foods should
be finished by using a dry heat method
such as broiling, sautéing, roasting, or
air frying.
