PURPOSE OF USE
The sous vide cooker heats and maintains the set water temperature
for cooking/heating food stored in zip or vacuum bags. The sous vide
cooking method (translated as "in vacuum") is aslow cooking method
that ensures food is cooked evenly andretains its natural juiciness.
This cooking method prevents overcooking the outer surface of the
food, preserving its nutritional value and natural flavour.

Changing Temperature Units
Plug the power cord into the mains socket, and within the first 3
seconds after plugging in, press and hold the rotary knob until
adouble sound alert is heard, indicating achange in temperature units
from °C to °F and vice versa.
Temperature Calibration
The cooker temperature sensor is extremely accurate andis calibrated
in production. However, if you need the cooker'svalues to match those
on the thermometer you are using, follow these steps to recalibrate
the cooker.
1. Determine the difference between the cooker temperature and the
temperature on the thermometer. You can change the cooker value
by ± 9.9 °C.
2. Press andhold the rotary knob until atriple sound alert is heard. 0.0
°C will appear on the display.
Preparing Food for Sous Vide Cooking
For sous vide cooking, food is placed in avacuum bag or zip bag from
which air is removed.
Place the food in the bag in individual portions or smaller pieces. This
will speed up the preparation and ensurethorough cooking of the food.
Always use sturdy bags designed for vacuum sealing and resistant to
high temperatures (up to 90 °C).
If using zip bags, first place the food in the bag and then carefully
submerge the still-open bag into the water. Air will escape from the
bag, allowing you to seal it.

bottom part of the cooker counterclockwise, pull, and remove the
cover. Wipe the fan with adamp cloth or sponge. Allow all parts to dry
completely before attaching the cover.
Descaling
After acertain period, it is necessary to descale the cooker. The
frequency of descaling depends on the hardness of the water used.
1. Dissolve citric acid in awater bath (2–3 tablespoons of citric acid per
1 litre of water are recommended).
2. Place the cooker in the pot.
3. Set the temperature to 90 °C and the preparation time to 20
minutes, andstart it.
4. After the cooker finishes, remove it and rinse the stainless steel part
carefully with cold water. Then allow the cooker to cool down and
dry completely.
Warning:
Only the metal part of the cooker may come into
contact withwater. The body of the cooker must not
come into contact withwater!
Storage
If you are not going to use the appliance for an extended period of
time, disconnect the plug from the mains socket, allow the appliance

Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
The cooker makes
awhistling sound.
This is caused by the motor, fan, and cooling fan
and is anormal occurrence.
The cooker makes
acreaking sound.
The pump body is loose. Turn off the cooker
andwait for it to cool down. Then secure the
pump body. If the sound persists, the pump shaft
may be bent. Loosen the bottom part, press on
the fan until it is centred.
The cooker makes
ahissing sound.
Check if the water level is between the MIN
andMAX marks. Add water to the pot as needed.
The water in
thepot bubbles
too much.
Check if the water level is between the MIN
andMAX marks. Add water to the pot as needed.
Damage to the
bag occurred
during cooking.
Position the cooker so that the water flow directs
to the side of the pot, away from the food.
The indicator
lights on the
control panel blink
during operation.
This is anormal occurrence.
