IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using this electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always

1. Read all instructions carefully before using the machine.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs. The lid and lid handles
may get hot while cooking; use of an oven mitt when handling is advised.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord (power lead), plug,
or Sous Vide SupremeTM Demi cooking unit in water or other liquid.
4. Children should not use this appliance. When in use around children, close
supervision by an adult is necessary and the appliance should be kept out of
their reach.
5. Keep the appliance and cord (power lead) away from hot surfaces, heated
ovens, or stove burners. Operate the appliance only on a dry, stable surface,
such as a table or countertop and away from any moving parts.
6. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow machine to
cool before putting in or taking out parts or emptying the water bath. Do not
immerse this appliance in water or any other liquid.
7. Do not use this appliance outdoors.
8. Do not use any attachment or accessory not recommended by Eades
Appliance Technology, LLC. Use of such attachments or accessories may
cause fire, electrical shock, or injury.
9. Do not use this appliance for any purpose other than its intended use.
10. Do not use this appliance if it has been dropped or appears to be dam-
aged. Do not use this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or after it

service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
11. Do not attempt to operate (heat) the unit without sufficient water in the
bath to completely cover the bottom rack and to reach the FILL level mark on
the sidewall.
12. Take care not to overfill the water bath; allow sufficient room to accom-
modate the volume of food pouches when added to water bath. Top off water
in bath to no more than the MAX level mark after adding pouches, if neces-
sary, to ensure the food inside the pouches is completely submerged.
13. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot
water or other hot liquids, including the SousVide SupremeTM Demi. Always
allow bath to cool before emptying unit.

Features and Functions
Your SousVide Supreme™Demi (patent pending) comes complete with
the following items:
Lid: when flipped over converts into a drip tray/basin to provide a stable
vessel into which the food pouches, once removed from the bath, can drain
and for transport to oven, stovetop, or grill for the finishing step, if desired.
Water bath: approximately 9-liter capacity of food and water when filled to
MAX line. (Add water only to FILL line initially.)
Grill: separates food parcels from contact with surface of water bath.
Rack: separates vacuum pouches for even cooking.
Asymmetric (Offset) handles: designed for ease of carrying the SousVide
Supreme Demi and to facilitate pouring from the corner to empty the water
bath after it has cooled completely.
Power socket: attachment point found at rear of machine, for connecting
electrical cord (power lead) into the unit.
Control Panel Display: (see specific discussion that follows).
Insulating lid blanket:
this component helps
to minimize heat loss
through the lid and can
double as an insulating
pad to protect counter
top from the heat of the
lid, once removed.
Accessories, sold
separately, include:
Universal (Pouch) Rack:
arranges food pouches
vertically or stacked in
the water bath for even
cooking. Be sure that the
food within the pouches
is underneath the surface
of the water in the bath
during cooking.
Wire handle: runs under
grill and aids in removal
of grill and food parcels
from the water bath.

temperature on the display, press START button to begin heating the water to
that temperature. An audible alert sounds as the bath begins to heat. The
‘Heating’ indicator light will illuminate red until the target temperature is
reached, at which time it will turn green. (Audible alarm, a repeating beep at
1-second intervals, will also indicate that the target temperature has been
reached.)
6. Setting the Countdown ‘Timer’ function is not necessary to operate the
machine. The heating element will operate regardless of whether the timer
function has been set. Except when cooking tender or delicate foods at target
temperatures that exceed their normal serving temperature—during which
timing the cooking of your food pouch could be critical to prevent overcook-
ing—precise timing of sous vide cooking usually is not necessary. To use
the timer:
a. Wait to set the timer until the water bath in your SousVide Supreme
Demi has reached the desired target cooking temperature and you are
ready to place the food pouches into the water bath.
b. To use the timer function, press the ‘Set Timer’ button. Time value in
minutes will appear in the display window.
c. Increase/decrease timer setting using the +/- arrows. The time displayed
will change in 1-minute increments to 30 minutes, then will speed up.
d. When the desired length of cooking time has been reached, press START
button to begin timing. After a few seconds the display will return to display
the water bath temperature. To view remaining time at any point in the
cooking process, press ‘Set Timer’ button.
How to Clean the SousVide Supreme Demi
1. Do not leave water sitting in the bath after use. Allow water bath to cool,
remove racks, and using the offset handles for stability, pour the bath contents
into the sink.

3. Periodically—or in the event of a cooking pouch rupture—you may need to
clean the water bath of your SousVide Supreme Demi. Use a soft cloth or
sponge and mild soapy water to wipe out the interior of the bath. Rinse with
clear water and, using the offset handles on the unit, pour the water out from
the corner.
4. Never immerse the unit in water or other liquid for cleaning or rinsing.
5. Never use abrasives or harsh chemicals to clean your SousVide Supreme
Demi.
6. Never put the SousVide Supreme Demi in the dishwasher.

Supreme Demi service representative. For more information, visit our website
