OPERATION WARNING
This section explains the potential dangers that may arise when
operating the sous-vide circulator and notes many important safety
precautions.
1. Before plugging into a socket, check whether your voltage
corresponds to the rating label of the appliance.
2. Counter tops such as marble and corian cannot withstand the heat
generated by the circulator. Do not place the cooking container on
marble or corian surfaces to prevent damage.
3. Do not use extension cords. Never operate with a damaged cord or
plug and use properly grounded electrical outlets only.
4. Do not immerse the device past the top etch mark on the stainless
steel skirt. Only the stainless steel skirt and the pump housing are
dishwasher safe. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before
the cleaning process.
5. Burn Hazard. The cooking container, stainless steel portion of the
circulator, and food pouches all get hot when used. Use oven mitts
or tongs when handling. Allow the device to cool before emptying
the water bath.
6. Do not disassemble. Observe all warning labels. Do not remove
warning labels.
7. Do not use this appliance for anything other than its intended use
(Like laboratory work or heating a hot tub).
8. Firmly lock the product by clamping it on the side of your container.
Place the container on an even surface to prevent spills and tipping

Prepare your food and seasoning and place in a vacuum-sealed bag.
Alternatively zip-lock freezer bags can be used. It is important to use
freezer bags made of food-grade plastic, as the seal on thinner bags
(e.g. sandwich bags) can and will degrade and break down during long
cooking times.
To expel air from your plastic bag use the immersion method:
1. Simply add the food to the bag with your seasoning.
2. Leave the mouth of the bag open then carefully immerse the bag into
the water, leaving about 2-3 cm above the water.
3. Seal it while it is in the water. The pressure from the water
surrounding the bag is heavier than the air inside the bag, which
causes the air to be pushed up and out of the bag.

TROUBLE SHOOTING FAQ
- 13 -
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTIONS
System will not turn on The power plug is not
available
Check power plug and
circuit breakers.
Try another power plug.
Return unit to
manufacturer for repair
if this does not solve it.
Low water level alarm/
Low water level alarm
turns on after a few seconds
of operation
The water level can
drop during operation
over along period due
to water turbulence
and heat.
Add more water. The
pump generates “waves”
– sometimes these
waves will cause the
water level at the sensors
to fluctuate up and down.
The waves sometimes
drop the water level right
under the sensor and will
cause a low water alarm.
This is normal and you
just need to add more
water.
Food damage ：The pump’s water jet
is cracking eggs or
damaging fish fillets
Turn the pump outlet to
face the container wall;
this will greatly temper
the flow of the pump
output. It is also good
practice to bag eggs to
prevent them from being
“blown” around in certain
containers.
Temperature read does not
match thermometer：
Sous Vide circulators
are calibrated to a
scientific platinum
primary standard which
is far more accurate
than store
thermometers.
This the normal.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTIONS
Slurping noise Your pump has formed
a water vortex.
Add more water or
gently disturb the water
with a spoon. There is
no sure way to eliminate
a vortex from forming
due to the pump
rotation, but it will usually
go away on its own.
Gurgling + Woosh noise ：The pump is sucking air Add more water. You
should also see small
bubbles in your tank.
Lights in house are slightly
flickering when system is on
This is normal as the
circulator is modulating
power.
Needn’t do anything
Error code EE1 will be
appeared in below situation
with alarm sound
No water in tank / Water
below minimum level
Appliance in situation
of short circuit
Add enough water.
If short circuit is occurred,
please contact seller
for help.
