Benefits of Low-Temperature Cooking and Sous Vide
Vacuum low-temperature cooking maximizes the preservation of
nutrients in food since the food does not come into direct contact
with air or water; very little or no oil needs to be used and only a
very little amount of salt is needed to preserve taste. This cooking
method maintains and even enhances the taste of everyday
foods.
Vacuum low-temperature cooking ensures that heat is evenly
distributed throughout the food; not only making it taste great, but
also preserving the color of the ingredients. Furthermore, the
thermal immersion circulator will save lots of energy in
comparison to an oven or gas stove, as well as reduce smoke
pollution in the kitchen.
You don’t need to be a trained chef! Even if you don’t have any
cooking experience, you can prepare healthy and delicious meals
using the thermal immersion circulator which will help you achieve
perfectly cooked foods.

Thanks to precise temperature and time control, it is possible to
ensure that food is not scorched or dried out due to overcooking,
in particular for food cooked at medium and low temperatures.
5
Preparation for Low-Temperature Cooking
• Vacuum sealing machine
A vacuum sealing unit will remove most of the air from bags,
providing an airtight seal that will prevent air or liquid from
going in. You can use a chamber vacuum sealer or a suction
vacuum sealer depending on your needs. We supply both
kinds of vacuum sealers.
• Vacuum seal bags
Vacuum seal bags will allow you to thoroughly pack foods,
ensuring that no air or liquid gets inside. Please ensure that
the vacuum seal bags you use can withstand temperatures up
to 100 °C or 212 °F.
• Thermal circulator with cooking water tank or sous vide
water bath
Start by placing the cooking rack into the water tank (failure to
use the cooking rack may result in a unit breakdown); next, fill
the tank or water bath with enough water to cover the food,
and set the cooking temperature. For the immersion thermal
circulator, you must also ensure that the water tank can
withstand temperatures up to 100 °C or 212 °F. For sous vide
6
water baths, fill the bath with water and then set the
temperature and time (the unit is equipped with a thermostat
controller).

Safety
Please follow all safety precautions:
• Only operate the unit according to the specific instructions
contained in this manual to avoid damaging the unit.
• Ensure that the power supply conforms to the standard.
• The unit must be connected to a grounded electrical socket.
• Always turn off the power supply before moving the machine.
• Do not touch the liquid with your bare hand to check the
temperature; use the temperature display or a thermometer.
• When putting food into the water bath, always ensure that the
water level is between the minimum (MIN) and the maximum
(MAX) levels to avoid damaging the unit.
• Do not touch hot surfaces while the unit is running or right after
it has been used in order to avoid injury.
• Should there be water on the top part of the unit (above the
MAX water level), please turn off the power and dry it before
continuing.
• Always keep the unit and its power cord out of the reach of
children to avoid danger.
• Do not let children play with the unit.

Operating Instructions
1. Select the appropriate cooking container. To fix the unit to the
container, turn the knob counterclockwise to create a gap
between the main body of the unit and the knob; insert the unit
into the container; tighten the knob clockwise to secure the
unit onto the container.
2. Add water to the container making sure that the water level is
between the minimum and maximum allowed water levels.
3. Connect the power cord; the digital display and buttons will
light up. The unit will enter power-saving mode after two
seconds, only will be illuminated; press to put the
unit into standby mode.
4. Press “°C/°F” to select the temperature unit. The default
setting is °C. Your choice will be stored in the unit’s memory
and the next time the unit is turned on, it will default to this unit.
5. Press “TEMP/TIME”; using the “+” and “-” buttons, adjust the
temperature and time to the desired values.
6. Once set, press to start the unit. After the temperature in
the container reaches the programmed temperature, the time
16
display starts counting down, and the vacuum-packed food
can be placed into the container cooking.
7. Once cooking is done, the unit will beep. Press to
complete the process.
Note: if no action is taken after 20 seconds, the unit will emit a
continuous beep; the water temperature will remain at the
preset temperature.
8. Remove food from the container; it is ready for the next step.
9. After using the unit, unplug it and store out of reach of
children.
Notes:
1. Food must be vacuum packed before sous vide cooking.
2. The water level (after the food is put in) should be higher than
“MIN”, but lower than “MAX” marked on the unit.
3. In order to prolong the service life of the unit, drain the water
after each use and clean the container.
17
Maintenance
To prevent burns, please ensure that the machine is off and at
room temperature before cleaning.
1. After cleaning, position the unit vertically; do not position it
horizontally or upside down.
2. Be careful not to damage the components inside the unit
during cleaning. If components are damaged, ask a specialist
to check and repair the unit. To avoid the risk of damage or
injury, only use the services of an authorized repair specialist.
3. Discard water after each use. Always fill with fresh water. If
the water is reused many times, mineral substances may
adhere to the surface of the unit and negatively impact its
performance.
4. If there is a noticeable decrease in the performance of the unit,
or if you notice that there is a buildup of residue or dirt, please
disassemble the back cover of the unit to clean the
components. Ideally, clean the unit after 20 uses or after 100
working hours.
18
5. If the unit is hot, do not use it in cool water; the unit should be
at room temperature and used in cool water. Likewise, do not
use a room temperature unit in hot water. Disregarding these
instructions will adversely affect the performance and service
life of the unit.

Care and Cleaning
Preparing to Clean the Unit
In preparation to clean the unit, please ensure you have
food-grade vinegar (white vinegar, apple vinegar, etc.) on hand.
Importance of Regular Cleaning
Standard tap water contains minerals. When water is heated to a
certain temperature, it may cause scale deposits on the unit.
Water scale can affect the performance of the unit. We suggest
cleaning the unit after every 20 uses if the accumulated usage
time is less than 200 hours. Water hardness varies depending on
your location; because of this, you may need to clean the unit
more often.
Cleaning Instructions
1. Pour water into the container until the “MAX” line of the unit.
Add 5g vinegar into the water. (CAUTION! If the vinegar
accidentally comes into contact with your eyes, rinse your
eyes immediately with lots of water. See a doctor if needed.)
2. Turn on the machine; set the temperature to 80 °C (176 °F);
20
set the time to three hours (03:00), press . After three
hours, the machine will beep. Once it beeps, turn it off.
Quick cleaning procedure: simultaneously press and
“-”; the temperature display (B) will indicate 80 °C, the time
display (C) will indicate 03:00; release the buttons. The
temperature and time displays, (B) and (C), will blink 10 times.
If you need to switch temperature unit, press “°C/°F”,
otherwise, press to start the cleaning process. During the
process, the display indicates the remaining time.
3. Check the unit to ensure it is thoroughly clean. If it is not, you
can add vinegar and repeat step two above. If it is clean, drain
the vinegar and wash the unit with fresh water before drying
and storing it.
