   2.3 You can use the Setting button (C7) to toggle between the time and temperature settings until you are satisfied with the setup.

3. Once the desired temperature and time have been set press the Start pause button (C5) to start the water heating process. Note that the ring around the control Panel will turn Blue for the heating process.(B1)

4. Once the preheating stage is complete the device will signal it with a beeping sound. Please only then add the previously prepared bags into the water.

5. To start the cooking process press the Start Pause button (C5) for 3 seconds. The device will emit a beeping sound and the ring will change to red color signaling the cooking process (B1).
   NOTE: You can change the cooking process startup procedure to start the cooking process right after the preheating phase. You can do that by connecting the device into the wall outlet and pressing the + / – (C4) buttons at the same time for 3 seconds. The device will then emit a beeping sound confirming the change of the configuration.

Anytime during the cooking or preheating phase you can pause the device by pressing the Start Pause button (C5). Do not pause the cooking for more than 2 minutes as the cooling water might change too much for perfect results. Press the Start Pause button (C5) again to resume the cooking process.

Steps to sous vide cooking:

1. Select a proper cooking container:
   The cooking container must be large enough to hold food bag(s) with plenty of room for water to circulate entirely around each food bag. It is recommended to use a large metal pot of 24 cm (9.5”) diameter with a wall height of 17-20 cm minimum. The maximum container capacity should not exceed 20 liters.
   Do not use plastic containers made with BPA or PVC materials.
   Place the cooking pot on a stable, flat and heat resistant surface such as a protective trivet.

2. Clamp the precision cooker securely.
   Clamp the device to the side of the container. It is important to ensure the device is perpendicular to the water level in order to properly circulate the water bath. (D)

3. Add water to the water container. The water level should reach in between the minimum (Min) and maximum (Max) fill line (E) , shown on the stainless steel element cover. Please make sure to leave enough room in the container for the food to be added.

4. Plug the power cord to the wall outlet. The appliance will beep and the upper display will show the current temperature of the water. Set the target temperature and time then press the Start / Pause button (C5) to start the appliance.

5. Place the food in a Vacuum sealed bag or zip-top freezer bag.
   5.1 Vacuum sealing food is practical but not necessary for sous vide cooking. Bags made of polyethylene and polypropylene that are labeled BPA-free are safe for sous vide cooking. Most name-brand zip-top freezer bags as well as the bags sold for vacuum sealing can be used. Avoid thinner, generic bags or bags that are not labeled as BPA-free.
   5.2 Ensure food placed in freezer bags are not overcrowded. Water must circulate entirely around each portion of food to be cooked, do not layer food in the bag.
   5.3 Spices or marinades can be added to the food inside the bag. It is recommended to use a little less seasoning than with traditional cooking methods, especially when seasoning with salt. It is always possible to season to taste after cooking is completed.
   NOTE: For cooking periods longer than 8 hours, it is recommended to seal food with an vacuum sealer.

6. Remove air from the freezer bag and seal it.
   6.1 If a vacuum sealer and pouch is used, the seal will be created by the vacuum sealer after the air has been removed.
   6.2 If using a zip-top freezer bag, it is required to remove air from the bag, creating as much as possible, a tight vacuum seal. While holding the top of the bag open, slowly lower it into the container of water. The pressure of the water will squeeze the air out of the bag. Just before the top of the bag reaches the water, zip it closed. (F)

7. Submerge the sealed bag into the cooking container.
   Once preheating stage is completed and the water bath is ready for cooking the LD light ring will change to red. At this time, the sealed bag can be immersed into the water container.
   7.1 If using a vacuum sealed pouch, the bag can completely be submerged below the water level.
   7.2 However, if using a zip-top freezer bag, do not submerge the seal of the bag. Clip the top of the bag to the side of the cooking pot ensuring the seal will not go underwater to avoid liquid to leak inside the bag.
   NOTE: It is important to ensure the food is fully submerged into water throughout all the cooking phase. If the food bag floats above water, use a large, heavy metal spoon, plate or any other heat resistant utensil to weigh the bag down to keep food submerged.

8. Sear meat and serve
   Once cooking phase is completed use tongs and protective oven mitts to remove the bag from the water bath. Remove the food from the bag, pat food dry before searing.
   Sear the meat in a hot preheated cast iron skillet or a barbecue for about 30- 60 seconds on both sides for a golden crispy texture. NOTE: If the cooked food is not going to be consumed immediately, do not remove food from the bag. Plunge the sealed bag into ice water to reduce temperature quickly and keep refrigerated.
