INTRODUCTION

This sous vide stick heat and circulate water to cook/heat food contained in plastic zip or vacuum bags. Sous vide stick is a slow cooking method, which ensures that the food is cooked evenly and that it retains its natural moisture.
The sous-vide method prevents overcooking the exterior surface of the food and produces food that is particularly fresh and tasty.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

SETUP

CHANGING TEMPERATURE UNITS
Press and hold the start/stop button for about 3 seconds to switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature units.
SETTING THE TIMER

1. Press the timer button on the control panel, then press the increase button (+) to set the hours.
2. Press the timer button to save the hours value, then press the increase button (+) or decrease button (-) to set the minutes.
3. Press the start/stop button to save the minutes value. The timer button will blink for about 3 seconds, indicating that your timer is properly set. Once the temperature reaches the target temperature, the timer will start the countdown.

SETTING THE FLOW DIRECTION
The sous vide stick can circulate water in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. Additionally, it can be set to direct the output of the pump into the side of the container, to protect delicate foods, such as eggs or salmon, or to prevent the water jet from being blocked by food.

1. Twist the pump housing clockwise to unlock it from the main unit.
2. Position the openings in the side of the pump housing, as desired. Insert the retaining tabs into the slots, then turn the cap counterclockwise to lock it in place.

CALIBRATING THE TEMPERATURE
The temperature sensor on the sous vide stick is extremely accurate and is calibrated at the factory. However, if you want the readings on the sous vide stick to match that of your thermometer, perform the following steps to re- calibrate the sous vide stick.

1. Determine the difference between the temperature reading on the sous vide stick and the temperature reading on your thermometer. You can change the sous vide stick‘s reading by up to ±9.9°C.
2. Press and hold the temp button for about 5 seconds. The display will show 0.0°.
3. Press the increase button or decrease button to add or subtract up to 9.9°C.
4. Press the temp button to save the set value.

OPERATION

2. Install the adjustable ring clip on the side of your pot or container, then clamp it firmly in place.
3. Insert the sous vide stick into the adjustable ring clip.
4. Fill the pot with water to some level between the MIN and MAX lines on the side of the pump housing.
5. Place the pot/container near an AC power outlet. Ensure that it is not on a stove or other heat source.
6. Plug the sous vide stick into the nearby AC power outlet.
7. Press the temp button on the control panel, then press the increase button or decrease button to set to target temperature.
8. Press the start/stop button to begin cooking.
9. When cooking is complete, press the start/stop button to stop the sous vide stick.

CLEANING

1. Turn the pump housing clockwise to unlock it from the main unit, then remove it.
2. Clean the pump housing in soapy water in the sink.
3. Cleaning the metal parts, use dish soap and a soft toothbrush, then rinse under running water. Ensure that only the metal parts are exposed to water. Be careful with the propeller. Do not expose the upper part of the sous vide stick to water.
4. Allow all parts to fully dry before reassembly.

DESCALING

Depending on how hard the water is, we recommend descaling the sous vide stick regularly. Descale the sous vide with the same regularity and with the same method as used for other products that need descaling, like electric water kettles. Use a commercially available descaling agent intended for kitchen products. See the manufacturer‘s instructions for the exact procedure.
