Sous vide cooking

With vacuum cooking, the food is sealed inside a vacuum bag and cooked at low temperature in a water bath. The ideal temperature range for such cooking is 55^ to 65^ C. Pasteurisation of the food is achieved at a core temperature of 62^ C. Heating food evenly results in the perfect consistency of the entire content, so that the juice and flavour remain largely unaffected.

Since sous vide cooking implies low-temperature preparation of products, their quick and hygienically safe processing is required. Once vacuum-cooked, the food must be either consumed immediately, or cooled in iced water and then deep-frozen or stored in a refrigerator at a temperature of below 3°C.

Only high-quality vacuum bags suitable for both deep-freezing and heating must be used for vacuum cooking. We therefore recommend using SEVERIN vacuum foil bags (available commercially or via http://www.severin.de under 'Service / Ersatzteile').

Before using for the first time

Make sure you remove all promotional stickers and packaging leftovers from the appliance and clean it as described in the Cleaning and care section.

Operation

Preparing the pot

• Select a suitable pot with a minimum depth of 15 cm.
• Fill with warm water. HINT:

The use of warm water shortens the time before the required cooking temperature is reached. Note: it may take several minutes for the built-in sensor to register the current water temperature.

When the temperature setting is lower than the actual water temperature, the light ring begins to flash and the fan is activated, but the appliance does not heat up and the countdown does not start.

• When filling with water, always observe the MIN and MAX markings on the appliance. With the food to be cooked in position, the water level must be between the MIN and MAX markings.
• Keep in mind that the level will rise when the food is put in. We therefore recommend using a smaller amount of water and then, if required, adding more warm water up to the MAX mark after the bags have been put in.
• If the water level in the pot is below the MIN mark, the appliance will not work. The appliance emits beeps and the display shows Er1.
• If the water level gets too low during operation, the appliance will switch off with beeps and the display will show Er1.

- You can put sous vide insulation balls into the pot to prevent excessive evaporation during cooking over a longer period.

• Place the prepared pot on a level, water and heat-resistant surface.
• Use the clip to attach the sous vide stick to the rim of the pot.

Adding the food to be cooked

• Place the vacuum bags containing the food into the pot.
• The bags should always remain under water. If the bags float on the water surface, place a suitable heat-resistant weight onto them.

Programming the unit

- Connect the mains plug to a suitable mains outlet. The display and buttons light up briefly with a beep. Then the ⏻ button lights up red.

Press the button briefly. The top display shows the actual water temperature.

• Use the +/- buttons to set the desired cooking temperature in 0.1-degree steps (up to max. 90°C). The temperature settings can be adjusted in small steps by a single push; keeping the button pressed results in rapid scrolling.
• Press the ⚙ button; the display shows the cooking time last selected: 00:01 (hrs : min).
• The cooking time in hours starts flashing. Set the required cooking time

using the +/- buttons (up to 99 hours).

• Pressthe button again to set the minutes (up to 59).
• Start the cooking process by pressing the button.
• The light ring flashes blue. The top display shows the actual water temperature and the bottom display shows the target temperature.
• Once the preset temperature has been reached, the appliance emits beeps and the blue control ring glows steadily.
  • After the set time has elapsed, the appliance emits beeps and switches off.
• Keep the on/off button pressed for more than two seconds to interrupt the cooking process or to switch off the appliance.
  • Always remove the plug from the wall socket after use; allow sufficient time for the appliance to cool down before pouring out the water and starting the cleaning process.

- HINT:

During cooking, you may notice small eddies in the water. This is harmless, but may be stopped by briefly inserting a wooden spoon.

Changing temperature display to degrees Fahrenheit (°F)

Keep the button pressed for two seconds to switch the temperature display between degrees Celsius (°C) and degrees Fahrenheit (°F).

Cooking times

Table for temperatures and cooking timesThe cooking time starts counting once the pre-set temperature is reached.To achieve a ,roast-like‘ aroma, meat can be fried briefly at high heat in a pan after sous- vide cooking is finished.Specialised cook books offer a wide range of recipes.
Type of food: Cooking time (depending on thickness)	Medium Well done
Beef: 90 - 180 minsFillet ca. 55 - 60°CRoast ca. 80 - 90°
Pork: 60 - 150 mins ca. 65 - 70°C ca. 70 - 80°
Poultry: 120 - 210 minsDuck breast ca. 65°Other poultry ca. 80 - 90°
Fish: 40 - 60 mins ca. 60°
Potatoes/vegetables: 60 - 180 mins ca. 85°
Note: Special attention should be paid when processing meat. Should you have concerns regarding germs, pathogens or salmonella (eg in poultry), ensure continuous, thorough heating of meat to over 70°C.Infants, pregnant women, sick or elderly people should eat meat only if a core temperature exceeding 75°C has been reached.

Cleaning and care

• Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has cooled down completely.
• Make sure you only wipe the main unit with heating element with a slightly damp cloth to avoid the risk of electric shock.
• In the case of contact with water, wipe the main unit thoroughly dry. I may not be used again until completely dry.
• Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions.
• You can also remove the stainless steel jacket for easier cleaning as follows:
• Remove the silicon coating from the stainless steel jacket by pulling it downwards.
• Loosen the screw above the MAX mark.
• Unlock the stainless steel jacket by turning it heftily and then remove it.
• Rinse the stainless steel jacket in clean water and then dry it well.
• Once properly dry, re-assemble the appliance as follows:
• Replace the stainless steel jacket onto the main unit and lock in place.
• Tighten the screw.
• Put on the silicone coating. The clip must rest on the silicone coating.
• If necessary, remove scale from the heating element (see "Descaling").

Descaling

• Depending on the water quality (lime content) in your area as well as the frequency of use, all thermal household appliances using hot water need descaling (i.e. removal of lime deposits) on a regular basis to warrant proper functioning.
• Any warranty claim will be null and void if the appliance malfunctions because of insufficient descaling.
• Excessive lime-scale build-up on the heating tube indicates that descaling has become necessary.
• For descaling, a vinegar solution may be used.
• For this purpose, mix the vinegar essence and cold water in a ratio of 1:15 (approx. 65 ml of vinegar essence per 1 l of water) in a pot.
• Immerse the appliance with stainless steel jacket (make sure you observe the min/max marks) in the pot and leave at 80 °C for approx. 30 min.
• Repeat the procedure if necessary.
• During descaling, ensure sufficient ventilation and do not inhale any vinegar vapours.
• After descaling, insert the appliance up to the Max mark in clean tap water and dry thoroughly afterwards.
• Do not pour descalers down enamel sinks.
