on a properly grounded outlet.
If you are not sure if the power
outlets are properly grounded,
please consult a qualied
electrician.
• Do not, under any
circumstances, modify the
power plug or use
an adapter.
• Read all instructions carefully.
NOTE
This immersion circulator is
equipped with a grounded power
cord which must be plugged
into a properly grounded power
outlet. Do not use the appliance if
the grounding prong on the plug
is missing or damaged or with
a grounding adapter. Contact a
qualied electrician if the plug
does not t into the electrical
outlet you intend on using.
IMPORTANT
Your immersion circulator is
equipped with an automatic over-
temperature safety that will
disable the heater in the event
of a heater fault or if it is run with
insucient cooking liquid for too
long a time period.
If this safety cannot be reset, the
unit must be sent back to Sage |
Polyscience.
IMPORTANT
Some countertop materials
may not be able to withstand
the prolonged exposure to heat
required for sous vide cooking.
To safeguard against damage to
your countertop,
Sage | Polyscience recommends
that you always place your
cooking vessel on a trivet or other
insulating material before you
begin heating the cooking liquid.

FOOD SAFETY WARNING
The food safety issues in cooking
sous vide are dierent from more
conventional forms of cooking. Do
not start to cook before you fully
understand the specied food
handling practices to prevent,
eliminate, or reduce the food
biological, chemical, and physical
hazards to a safe level.
Cooking foods at low
temperatures may not pasteurize
and may pose a health risk
to certain individuals such
as pregnant women, young
children, the elderly or those with
compromised immune systems.
The Sous-Vide Toolbox within the
immersion circulator allows you to
calculate and set the cooking time
of various foods so that they can
be cooked to pasteurization.
For Safety please select the Food
Authority suggested temperature
setting when selecting
temperature in the Sous-Vide
Toolbox which is the FDA and
other regulatory approved
temperature for the selected food.

APPROPRIATE COOKING VESSEL
An immersion circulator can be used with
reservoirs of various capacities and shapes.
These variables may adversely aect
temperature accuracy and stability. For
example, a reservoir with large surface area
loses heat more quickly, which may prevent
the immersion circulator from attaining the
desired temperature.The maximum vessel
size that the unit has been validated against
is a 45L uninsulated vessel with a secure lid.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Your immersion circulator is easy to set up:
1. Ensure the impeller and foot are
in position.
2. Turn the foot on the bottom of the
immersion circulator foot to the desired
positions.The foot of the immersion
circulator allows you to easily adjust the
direction with which the water circulates.
WARNING: To avoid the potential for
burns and/or electrical shock, do not
change the position of the foot while
your immersion circulator is immersed in
liquid. For safety, turn power to the unit OFF,
unplug from the electrical outlet, remove the
immersion circulator from reservoir, and allow
the housing to cool to room temperature
before making adjustments.
3. Fill the vessel with water.
This immersion circulator is capable
of holding 45 litres of water at a stable
temperature in an uninsulated, covered
vessel.
The depth of the liquid in the cooking
vessel should be kept somewhere
between the “MAX” and “MIN” liquid level
lines indicated on the unit housing.
IMPORTANT
• The water level in the cooking vessel will
rise as food is added.Be sure to allow for
this displacement when placing liquid in the
vessel.
• Please note that the water level might also
drop while cooking due to evaporation.
4. Attach the immersion circulator to the
cooking vessel.The mounting clamp
provided with the unit will mount it
securely to both at and rounded vessel.
The clamp can be used to rotate the unit
so that the screen faces in the desired
direction.

8
NOTE
When using the probe holder, this can be
attached directly onto the clamp by following
the directions below (available for the
GSV750 model only).
5. Plug the power cord into a properly
grounded electrical outlet.
The TFT screen will light and the Welcome
screen will come up.
The Welcome screen will enable you to
congure your settings, as per:
- Language
- Time (available for GSV750 only)
- Date (available for GSV750 only)
- Temperature Units
- Measurement Units
- Data Logging Set Up – for HACCP
Cooking log (setting available for the
GSV750 model only).
You are now ready to begin cooking with your
immersion circulator!

Functions
TURNING THE UNIT ON
1. Press the Power on button (on top of the
immersion circulator) .
2. The immersion
circulator gives you the
possibility to choose
between 4 menus.

b) Manual Cooking
c) My Presets
d) Settings
SOUS VIDE TOOLBOX
The Sous Vide Toolbox mode will guide you
to a successful food-safe sous vide cooking
experience. It helps determine the optimal
sous vide cooking and re-heating time for a
variety of foods.
The thermal conductivity (heat transfer)
characteristics of proteins are dierent for
every type of food.The Sous Vide Toolbox
uses the guided inputs to calculate the time
it takes at a given temperature, thickness
and shape for the item to reach a core
temperature and additional time for dierent
levels of pasteurization.
This takes the guesswork out of determining
the optimum cooking time at a certain
temperature. It also provides guidance as to
the time required to reach the selected level of
pathogen reduction, and whether your choice
of temperature and time is considered safe.
Under this mode, you will be able to select:
1. Food type: Beef, Poultry, Pork, Lamb,
Eggs, Fish, Shellsh, Foie Gras,
Vegetable, Fruit, Custard, Legumes,
Lentils andYoghurt.
2. Cut Type: Dierentiates between 'Tender
Cut' and 'Tough Cut' (depending of food
type selected)
3. Food Shape: the selection is dierent
depending on the type of food selected.
For example, if beef is selected, the food
shape will be: steak, medallion, rib rack
with bones, short rib squares, cylinder,
sphere, cube
4. Thickness: between a range of 3/16" to
3" (5mm to 127mm)
5. Initial Temperature: Fresh* or Frozen
6. Desired Final Core temperature
(temperature doneness varied depending
on food type).
7. Pasteurization Level: Time to reach core
temperature, additional time to pasteurize
surface, additional time to pasteurize
surface and core
8. Additional tenderness time (only
available for tough Cut Type): The
tenderness time corresponds to the
additional time required for a tough cut
(such as shank, shoulder, belly or brisket)
to achieve a tender result.The time varies
depending on the food type selected.
*Fresh is food that is stored in a fridge
environment at 5°C / 41°F

10
The Summary screen will display the
recommended temperature and time based
on the parameters that have been entered.
NOTE
A warning will indicate if the food item will not
reach a recommended level of pasteurization
in the time calculated.
The ‘Fast Cook’ option will allow you to
reduce the cooking time by increasing the
water bath by +4°F (+2°C).
Where the food item is to be immediately
cooled for storage upon completion of the
cooking process, select the‘Ice Bath’ option
on the summary screen.The time required
for the food item to return to 41°F (5°C) will
be calculated and displayed once cooking
has nished.
DATA LOGGING
(setting available for the GSV750 model only)
The GSV750 creates a HACCP-ready
cooking log using the temperature reading
from the probe.The cooking logs can then
be converted to a PDF that complies with
HACCP requirements.
1. To enable data logging, toggle the ‘Data
logging on’ button in the immersion
circulator Settings.
2. Connect your probe and insert it correctly
into the food bag using high-density foam
tape. Please refer to the Help section for
further information about probe use.
3. Start the cook you wish to log.
4. Press the Data Log button and ll out the
information you wish to be associated
with the cooking log.
