SV 100 Professional Sous Vide Cooker

SousVide
SousVide is a way of slow-cooking vacuum-packed food at low temperatures over a long period. The current consumption with cold water, which is heated to 63°C, and 24 hours of operation is just 2.9 kWatts! The vacuum packing, the long cooking time and the transfer of heat from the water to the food from all directions reduces the growth of bacteria. The food retains its vitamins, natural flavour and succulence!

  The device beeps every time it is turned on to remind you that it needs to be cleaned.

Cleaning preparation
A container higher than 18cm, a bottle of food grade acetic acid (such as white vinegar or apple vinegar and so on)
Cleaning instruction
As the tap water is with mineral substance, when the water is heated up to a certain degree, the mineral substance will become incrustation and stay on the surface of the heater and the unit which will affect the result of heating and cosmetic.
Cleaning steps

• Put the unit in the container correctly, and then pour some water into the container until it reaches the Max water level. Acetic acid dosage: 5g per 10L water. Users can add the acetic acid according to the actual volume of the container. (Remark: if the acetic acid goes into the eyes heedlessly, please wash the eyes with plenty of clean water instantly, and should turn to the doctor in time in serious cases.)
• Immediately after pluging in the device, press (of the timer) and simul- taneously for 3 seconds. The device shows the cleaning mode (h and 80°C). Press the start button. After the time run out, the working hours and the symbol in the display will be deleted. Alternatively, you can set the work temperature to be 80176 F and the work time for 3hours 03:00, and then press start. After working 3 hours, the machine will start beeping until the user press “stop” and switch it off.
• Check the result of the cleaning. If it does not reach the intended cleaning effect, the user can restart the machine according to step 2 by adding more acetic acid. If the result of cleaning is satisfying, please pour the acid water and clean the unit and the container with clean water respectively in time. And dry the unit before storage.

Detachable filter

Food deposits or calcification can block the pump. Please check and clean the filter for residues after every use.
Working area:
Important: Never place the appliance on or next to a hot surface (e.g. stove). Always use it on a stable, flat and temperature resisting surface. Always take care that no inflammable objects are near to the appliance.
Before using for first time:

• Clean the device with a damp cloth externally. Then run the device into the designated pot with warm water to rinse out production residues.
• Attention! Do not immerse electrical part in water!

Vacuum packing
Only use bags that are suitable for vacuum packing. There is no guarantee of proper closure if normal bags are used. Ensure that there are no spices in the vicinity of the weld seam, otherwise hermetic sealing will not be possible.

Setting the device

Installation

• The appliance is suitable only for heating water, everything else blocks the pump.
• Safely install the device.
• Pay attention, that the water together with the food reaches the marking “max”.
• Plug in the device.
• If the water level is “min”, E01 appears on the display and the device beeps three times.

Water quantity

Do not put too much water in the device – leave sufficient room for the food. If necessary, top up water until Max. The unit can be switched on only when the water level reaches the max marking. The food must always be covered with water. The temperature sensor needs a couple of minutes until he adjusted to the set temperature if pre-heated water is filled in.
If there is no water in the pot, the device will not turn on and beeps E01.
Turn off the appliance, add water and start again.
The water level sensor switches off the appliance when the water level drops rapidly
 The last setting is shown on the display:

| water temperature
set temperature
set time
---|---

At first start the set production values appear, they are insignificant.

Temperature

Press the ON/OFF button. The display shows the current water temperature. Be careful if you have set or degree Celsius or degree Fahrenheit.
By pressing the button “temperature +/-“, you set the desired temperature (5 to 99 °C) in steps of 0,1 °C.
By pressing “+/-“ longer, you can choose the temperature in the fast mode. Now press time.

Time

By pressing the button “time +/-“, you set the desired time (5 minutes to 99 hours) in steps of 1 minute. By pressing “+/-“ longer, you can choose the temperature in the fast mode.
If you turn off the device, plug it out, or if you have a power outage, the unit remembers the last set values.
In order to guarantee the highest possible temperature accuracy, the temperature senor of the device checks whether the set temperature is conform to the actual temperature one the device is close to the set temperature. This takes about 10 minutes, then the timer starts to count down. Would you like the timer to start immediately and without  hecking the temperature, press the “START” button.
Start
Push the start button . The pump and the radiator are running. You can see the symbol for the running pump in the display. While the appliance is heating you see in the display. If you want to stop the device then press .
Overheat protection
If the fuse is blown, you find the electric fuse covered on the back part of the device. Press it and close the cover again.
Seasoning
The food can be seasoned or have herbs added to it before vacuum packing.
Please take care when seasoning, since the food keeps its natural flavour during SousVide cooking.
General
The SousVide method pasteurises the food at exact temperatures, ensuring that it will keep for longer. After pasteurising, cool bag in ice water immediately and store in the fridge at less than 3°C, freeze or eat immediately. Pasteurisation takes place at a core temperature of about 62°C. The food generally cooks best at temperatures of 55°C – 65°C. The device operates with a tolerance of 0,1°C in a covered pot.
The cooking time depends on the thickness of the food

• Increase time by at least 20% for deep-frozen food.
• All time information is approximate and should be adjusted according to taste.
• The time should be doubled for tough meat.

Meat:
Temperature 68°C – 62°C

Fish:
Temperature 55°C – 58°C

Poultry:
Temperature 63°C – 65°C

Vegetables:
Temperature 80°C – 85°C

• diced
  Do not let the temperatures fall lower than indicated in the table!
  Please note that the times shown in the operating instructions and the recipe booklet are recommended minimum times that the food should stay in the device, when the appliance has already been filled with hot (tap) water. Filling the appliance with cold water will increase the times by approximately 30 minutes. Always, fill the sous-vide cooker, including the food, with water up to the marking “max”. Thus, it can be ensured that the set temperatures can be kept within the sous-vide cooking field of 65°C with a precision of +/- 0,1°C. The food that is being cooked can be put into the water bath immediately after filling, and can remain in the water for well beyond the specified minimum times without the required core temperature rising above the temperature setting due to the sous-vide method.
  Steba tip
  If you insert several vacuum bags with different cooking times and qualities of meat, you should mark them previously. At 62°C you can leave the meat in the pot and remove any if necessary, without any change of the consistency of the meat.

Further processing

Preservation: Cool meat in ice water immediately after pasteurising.
It can then be stored in the fridge for several days (fridge temperature of 7°C = 5 days, fridge temperature of 5°C = 10 days) without loss of quality or frozen in the freezer compartment.
To thaw, place the vacuum-packed food in the device at approx. 55°C and thaw it out in the bag. Then remove from bag, eat immediately or briefly sear.

Eating immediately: Of course, the meat can also be eaten immediately after SousVide cooking, or seared on each side for no more than 1 minute in an extremely hot frying pan with a little sunflower oil. The shorter the frying time, the juicier the meat. The meat can also be brushed with oil and scorched with a butane gas burner. Allow meat to relax for approx. 2 minute before cutting.
Backwards cooking: If the raw meat is briefly fried, seasoned and vacuum packed, it is ready for eating after SousVide cooking.
You can also prepare a seasoned red wine / balsamic vinegar stock, add it to the meat, vacuum pack and cook using SousVide.
