How to set the cooking temperature?

Tap the temperature button ^1 O/1 on the screen. The indicator flashes. Use the + and - buttons to set the temperature between 25 °C and 85 °C. After 5 seconds, the current temperature is displayed again.

What does the error message E001 mean?

The E001 message indicates that the water level is below the MIN mark in the tank. Fill with fresh tap water above the MIN mark. If the problem persists, add salt to the water and mix.

Can I cook without setting the timer?

Yes, it is not mandatory to set the timer. If the timer is set to 00:00, the appliance runs continuously until you manually turn it off with the ON/OFF button.

How to clean the appliance after use?

Turn off and unplug the appliance, then let it cool down. Empty the tank. Clean the tank, lid, and rack with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Rinse and dry. Never put the appliance or lid in the dishwasher. For a deep clean, run a cycle at 40 °C for 20 minutes with a little mild dish soap.

What is the minimum water quantity required?

The water level must always be above the MIN mark located inside the tank. This level corresponds to approximately 2.7 liters. If the water is below, the appliance does not start and displays E001.

Can I use bags other than Solis ones?

You can use vacuum bags suitable for low-temperature cooking, but it is recommended to use Solis bags to ensure good sealing and even cooking. Make sure the bag is well sealed and without air.

How to get crispy meat after sous vide cooking?

Sous vide cooking does not caramelize the surface. For a crispy result, sear the meat or fish in a very hot pan with a little oil for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or place it under the oven broiler.

Can I open the lid during cooking?

Yes, but be careful of hot steam and droplets. Use oven mitts and lift the lid by the side handles, tilting it to avoid burns. Close it quickly to maintain the temperature.

How to descale the appliance?

Use diluted SOLIPOL® forte descaler (1/4 descaler to 3/4 water) up to the MIN level. Run a cycle at 50 °C for 20 minutes, let it sit for 20 minutes, empty, then rinse twice with fresh water at 85 °C for 20 minutes.

▲ APPLIANCE DESCRIPTION

1 2 3 4 5 Solis 6 7 -00000

CAUTION: Only the lid and the grid for the food bags can be removed. All other parts are firmly connected and must not be taken apart.

▲ APPLIANCE DESCRIPTION

1 Lid with lateral grips and window
2 Grid for food bags
3 Stainless steel water basin
4 Basin surround
5 Appliance chassis with control panel and display, the appliance socket for connecting the power cord can be found on the back side
6 Appliance bottom
7 Bottom cover

Worth knowing:

• The lid must be firmly placed on the appliance during cooking to keep the water temperature constant and prevent steam from escaping. After cooking, you can use the lid turned upside down as a tray to deposit the food bags you have removed from the water basin.
• The grid must be placed in the water together with one or more food bags. If you wish to cook multiple bags simultaneously, the grid will ensure that the bags are evenly spread out in the center of the water basin. This allows optimal hot water circulation around the food bags. Therefore, the water outlet and inlet must not be obstructed by food bags. The grid can arrange the bags either horizontally or vertically. It is important that the food in the bags is completely submerged in water.
• In the water basin there is a water outlet responsible for suctioning the water and a water inlet which pumps the hot water back into the water basin. This water circulation heats the water and holds its temperature. Always pay attention to the MIN marking in the water basin. The water level must never fall under that marking during cooking.

COOKING CHART

The following chart is intended to help you with getting used to your new appliance and give you directions as to which food should be cooked for what time at what temperature. Of course, you can implement your own preferences.

With the Temperature button you can set the water temperature very precisely to a degree of up to 0,1 °C.

The following chart was made for foods usually stored in the fridge, meaning they have a temperature of around +5 °C.

Food Thickness	Tempe-		rature	Minimum time	Maximum time
Beef: Filet, steak, entrecôte	raw 20 mm	52°C 2 hours	4 hours
	medium	20 mm	55°C	2 hours	4 hours
	well done	20 mm	65°C	2 hours	4 hours
Lamb, no bones	medium	90 mm	55°C	20 hours	30 hours
	well done	90 mm	65°C	20 hours	30 hours
Pork	Filet	40 mm	64°C	2 hours	4 hours
	Neck	15 mm	60°C	4 hours	20 hours
Chicken	Breast filet	25 mm	64°C	2 hours	4 hours
Fish	Fatty fish, slightly pink	30 mm	55°C 20 minutes	40 minutes
	Fatty fish, well done	30 mm	60°C 20 minutes	40 minutes
	Low-fat fish, well done	15 mm	58°C 20 minutes	40 minutes

Food Thickness Tempe-			rature	Minimum time	Maximum time
Vegetable Beans	Beetroot up to	50 mm 84°C 1	hour 6 hours
	Carottes up to	50 mm 84°C	1 hour 6 hours
	Knob celery up to	50 mm 84°C 1	hour 6 hours
	Potato up to	50 mm 84°C 1	hour 6 hours
	Asparagus up to	70 mm 84°C	30 minutes 1 hour
	Onion up to	70 mm 84°C 30	minutes 1 hour
	Broccoli up to	70 mm 84°C	30 minutes 1 hour
	Cauliflower up to	70 mm 84°C	30 minutes 1 hour
	Aubergine up to	70 mm 84°C	30 minutes 1 hour
	Fennel up to	70 mm 84°C 30	minutes 1 hour

These statements only refer to the thickness of the raw slices or pieces of food. The thickness of the food has a significant effect on the cooking time, even more than its weight.

An example:

As can be told from the chart, a beef steak with a thickness of 20 mm has to be cooked for a minimum of 2 hours and a maximum of 4 hours. The thicker the meat, the longer the cooking time needs to be.

If you wish to cook a beef steak with a thickness of 70 mm, the cooking process will take at least 5 hours at the stated temperature. However, a beef steak (or filet or entrecôte) being prepared in the Sous-Vide Cooker Pro should not be thicker than 70 mm.

TIPS FOR COOKING TIME:

Tender pieces of meat such as filets should not be overcooked (max. 4 or 6 hours), otherwise the meat quality might be impaired.

Tougher pieces of meat require more cooking time (6 to 8 hours or more) to make the meat tender.

Chewy or fatty pieces of meat, such as pot roast or leg of lamb, should be cooked at temperatures high enough to "melt" the collagen fibers into gelatin, meaning at least at 60°C for at least 24 hours. Very chewy kinds of meat might even need up to 72 hours to make the meat come out juicy and tender.

Poultry should be prepared in separate pieces, as the cavities in the poultry might cause the bag to "swim" due to the trapped air, and not be submerged in water.

Very fibrous kinds of vegetable require a higher temperature than meat. Longer cooking times cause fruit and vegetables to become very soft in consistency, making them ideal for making soups and purees.

In general, please make sure that no air gets trapped in the bag when vacuum sealing food, as this will buoy up the bags, making them float on the surface.

TIPS FOR SEASONING:

The cooking method of Sous-Vide conserves the aroma of the food. When you add spices and oils directly into the vacuum bags, the chosen spices and herbs will unfold even more intensive aroma.

Recommendation 1: Flavoring butter and spreading it in the vacuum bag Mix fresh or dried herbs, spices, salt and pepper and, in a blend with unsalted butter, turn them into herb butter. Spread the herb butter in the vacuum bag before filling it with food.

CAUTION: The front end of the vacuum bag should not come into contact with the butter, so that the bag can be sealed air tightly.

Recommendation 2: Making and freezing broth with herbs

Prepare vegetable, beef or chicken broth with herbs, spices, salt and pepper and maybe vegetables and meat. Let the broth cool down, pour the broth into an ice cube tray and freeze the broth in the refrigerator. If desired, you can add an ice cube of broth to the food in the vacuum bag. During cooking, the ice cube will melt and add its aroma to the food.

Recommendation 3: Making and refrigerating herbal oil

CAUTION: Do not use any native extra vergin olive oil, as this might develop a bitter or metallic aroma.

Blend herbs and spices with olive oil, cool the mixture in the refrigerator until it is semisolid and, by tablespoons, add it to the food in the vacuum bag.

NOTE: We recommend not blending wine or other spirits with the oil, as alcohol can develop a metallic taste in Sous-Vide appliances.

IMPORTANT: It is important that none of the spice mixtures come into contact with the edge of the bag, so that the vacuum bag can be sealed air tightly.

It is a handy tip to flip the edge of the bag inside out before filling the bag with spices and food to prevent it from coming into contact with the food and the spice mixture. If the vacuum bag can not be evacuated and sealed, use a fresh vacuum bag.

TIPS FOR CRISPLY FRIED MEAT OR FISH

The method of Sous-Vide cooking will not make the meat or fish caramelized or crispy. Therefore, should you prefer your meat or fish crispy, we recommend frying it at intense heat in the pan or on the grill with a little oil or placing it on the grating in the oven and grilling it in the grill function after Sous-Vide cooking. Alternatively, you can use a flambé burner to caramelize the surface.

It should, however, only be fried briefly (1–2 minutes), so that only the surface becomes crispy.

▲ CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Switch the appliance off with the ON/OFF button (touch the button for 1 second) and pull the power plug from the socket. Completely remove the power cord from the appliance to prevent it from coming into contact with water.
• Wait for the appliance and the water to cool down before pouring the water into the sink. Clean the water basin with a cloth and, if necessary, some warm dish water. The sieve on the water outlet should be cleaned with a soft brush and some water. After that, carefully clean and dry the water basin.
• The lid and the grid should first be cleaned carefully with warm dish water and a soft cloth and then rinsed and dried. Always let the lid and the water basin dry completely before closing the lid.
• CAUTION: The Sous-Vide Cooker Pro and the lid can not be cleaned in the dish washer.
• Regularly - at least once a month or after a vacuum bag has ruptured - perform a cleaning cycle to clean the appliance inside as well. To do that, fill the water basin to the MIN marking with fresh tap water, add a little non-foaming dish soap, connect the power cord to the appliance and the power socket and start the appliance: Temperature setting 40^ , operating time 20 minutes. After that, pour the water into the sink and, if necessary, repeat the cleaning cycle.
• After that, allow the appliance and the water basin to dry completely before replacing the lid.
• In general, do not use any aggressive or scouring detergents or metal sponges to clean the water basin, the lid and the appliance, as they might damage the surfaces. Only fill the water basin with fresh tap water.
• The appliance outside as well as the appliance bottom should only be wiped with a wet cloth and dried. Never use alkaline detergents, only a soft cloth and a mild detergent.
• Never submerge the Sous-Vide Cooker Pro or the power cord in water and avoid bringing the outer chassis or the appliance bottom into contact with water.

WARNING:

The connection adapter has to be removed from the appliance socket before the Sous-Vide Cooker Pro is cleaned. In any case, the appliance socket has to be completely dry before the appliance is used again.

▲ DESCALING

• Depending on water hardness and frequency of use, the Solis Sous-Vide Cooker Pro should be descaled from time to time, approx. once a month, so that water circulation can continue unimpeded.
  -We recommend using SOLIPOF ^ forte descaler by Solis, in a solution with water. -Pour 675 ml SOLIPOF ^ forte and 2'025 ml water into the water basin to reach the minimum amount of 2'700 ml at the MIN marking. The dilution ratio should always be a quarter of SOLIPOF ^ forte to three quarters of water. Plug the appliance in and switch it on, choose a temperature of approx. 50 °C and let the descaling solution circulate for approx. 20 minutes. Then, switch the appliance off and let the descaling solution sit for approx. 20 minutes. Then, pull the plug resp. connection adapter and pour the descaling solution out.
• Fill the water basin at least to the MIN marking with fresh tap water, plug the appliance in and switch it on and let this solution circulate for approx. 20 minutes at 85^ . Then, switch the appliance off, unplug it and pour the water away.
• Repeat this rinsing process with fresh tap water a second time to remove all remains of the descaling solution.
• Damage caused by the use of improper descaling agent is not covered by warranty.

▲ STORAGE

• Check if the appliance is switched off and the power plug is pulled, resp. if the power cord is removed.
• Check if the appliance, the water basin, the grid and the lid are absolutely cool, clean and completely dry.
• Place the grid and possibly the power cord in the appliance and close the lid.
• Store the appliance standing upright in a dry, dark place, best in the original packaging. Do not place anything on the appliance.
• Always keep the appliance and the power cord out of the reach of children.

▲ TROUBLESHOOTING
