Sous Vide Essentials
Remove uncertainty from the kitchen and make preparing food as
easy as pressing a button with Sous Vide! Sous Vide is a unique
process of cooking where the food is packaged under vacuum
in a sealed bag, and then cooked at very low and consistent
temperatures in a water bath.
The concept behind Sous Vide is based on the idea that food should
be cooked at the exact temperature you want it to reach. Traditional
cooking methods do not cook food evenly, either under cooking the
middle or overcooking the outside. The low, controlled temperatures
used in Sous Vide means that your food can’t be overcooked! Rather
than pan cooking or microwaving your meat, try cooking it Sous
Vide. Sous Vide is perfect for meats, tenderizing and evenly cooking
the entire piece for the perfect temperature, texture and doneness.
Food cooked using the Sous Vide method does not lose as much
of the nutritional content as food prepared traditionally due to the
reduced oxygen environment. For meals that melt in your mouth, try
Sous Vide cooking. Don’t miss out on the most progressive trend in
modern cuisine.

Always clean and dry your VacMaster®SV10 immersion circulator
before storing. It is important to protect it from contact with objects or
equipment that could damage the digital control panel.
1. Routine Cleaning:
▫Unplug circulator from electrical outlet. Warning: To avoid
the potential of injury or burns, allow the circulator to cool
to room temperature before removing from water tank.
▫Keeping the unit upright, wipe the housing clean and dry
with damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
WARNING: Never immerse the SV10 circulator controls or control
panel in water or other liquids or place it under running water.
DO NOT clean in a dishwasher.
2. Cleaning Pump Filter:
▫To minimize water contaminants and scale from entering
and damaging the circulating pump, the SV10 pump
includes an easy-to-clean pump filter. Simply remove and
clean with a soft brush, removing any lodged particles.
DO NOT use abrasive pads or hard tools to remove trapped
debris. Once clean, reinstall the pump filter. Inspect pump filter
periodically.
3. Mineral or Water Scale Deposits:
▫Depending on the frequency of use and your water
hardness, minerals and scale may build up on your
circulator’s heater, pump and other components. After 20
uses or 100 hours of use, use your water tank to run the
circulator in either a 15% white vinegar in water solution or
a 10% food safe calcium & lime remover in water solution
at 80ºC or 176ºF for 3 hours or until minerals or scale is
removed. Wipe clean and dry throughly when done.
