The REDMOND Sous Vide SV004 NA (Model No.: SV-8008B) is an indoor appliance designed for precision cooking using the sous vide method. This device circulates water at a precisely controlled temperature, ensuring consistent and evenly cooked food.
Function Description:
The Sous Vide circulator operates by heating and circulating water in a container, maintaining a stable temperature for cooking food sealed in pouches. It features a digital display and control panel for setting temperature and time. The device is equipped with a detachable stainless steel column, a water pump cap, and a clamp for secure attachment to a cooking container or pot. It includes preset menu options for various food types (meat, fish, chicken, vegetable) and allows for manual adjustment of temperature and time settings. An alarm system is integrated to indicate low water levels and to signal when the set temperature is reached for immersing food. The appliance also has a temperature calibration function.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Voltage: 120V~/60Hz
- Power: 1000W
- Temperature Range: 00°C to 90°C (32°F to 194°F), with a default setting of 60°C. Temperature can be displayed in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
- Time Range: 00 to 99 hours for hours, and 00 to 59 minutes for minutes.
- Water Level: Operates within MAX and MIN marks on the stainless steel column.
- Minimum Pot Depth: 180mm
Usage Features:
- Installation: The circulator is installed by gripping the top part of the clamp, placing the steel column into a container or pot, and then loosening the grip to automatically fix the circulator at the desired depth. It requires a minimum pot depth of 180mm.
- Water Filling: The container should be filled with water between the MAX and MIN marks. Overfilling should be avoided, as the water level will rise when food is immersed.
- Power On/Off: Plug the device into a grounded outlet. Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds to unlock the screen and enter standby mode. Press the power button again to start the appliance. To turn off, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds.
- Temperature Setting: In standby mode, press the "Set" button once to set the temperature. Use the "+" or "-" adjustment buttons to set the desired temperature between 00°C and 90°C.
- Time Setting: In standby mode, press the "Set" button twice to set the hour (00-99 hours) and three times to set the minute (00-59 minutes). Use the "+" or "-" adjustment buttons for adjustments.
- Preset Menus: The device offers four preset recipe modes:
- Meat: Press "+" once. Default: 59°C, 1 hour.
- Fish: Press "+" twice. Default: 52°C, 20 minutes.
- Chicken: Press "+" three times. Default: 64°C, 1 hour.
- Vegetable: Press "+" four times. Default: 85°C, 45 minutes.
- In any preset mode, temperature and time can be revised by pressing the "Set" button (once for temperature, twice for time) and using the "+" or "-" buttons.
- Temperature Unit Change: Press and hold the "Set" button for 3 seconds to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
- Cooking Process: Once settings are finalized, press the power button to start. The appliance will heat the water to the set temperature. An alarm will beep four times when the set temperature is reached, indicating it's time to immerse the sealed food bag. The timer will then start counting down.
- Automatic Shut-off: When the set time reaches 00:00, the appliance will stop heating. The screen will remain on, and the current temperature will flash for 3 minutes with a beep, after which the appliance will turn off.
- Low Water Level Alarm: The circulator is equipped with an alarm for low water levels. If the water level drops below the MIN mark, the circulator will stop operating, and an E03 error will be displayed.
- Temperature Recalibration: The appliance has a temperature calibration function. To calibrate, press and hold the power button and "Set" button for 5 seconds. The current temperature will flash. Use the "+" or "-" buttons to adjust, then press "Set" to confirm, or wait 5 seconds for automatic confirmation.
- Safety Precautions:
- Do not use extension cords.
- Ensure the appliance is plugged into proper grounded electrical outlets.
- Do not immerse the system below the MIN marks or above the MAX marks of the stainless steel column.
- The cooking container, stainless steel portion of the circulator, and food pouches become hot; use oven mitts or tongs.
- Allow the system to cool before emptying the water bath or handling parts.
- This is an indoor appliance; do not use outdoors.
- Do not disassemble the unit.
- Do not use deionized water (DI water).
- Ensure voltage matches the rating label (120V~/60Hz).
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug.
- Do not let the cord hang over edges or touch hot surfaces.
- Securely clamp the product to the container on an even surface to prevent spills.
- Do not place the unit on a stove or in an oven.
- Countertops like marble and Corian may not withstand the heat; place the cooking container on a different surface.
- If the appliance falls into water, unplug it immediately, remove it, wipe it dry, and allow it to dry completely before reuse.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: The stainless steel column and pump housing are dishwasher safe. Unplug from the outlet before cleaning and allow to cool.
- Descaling: With frequent use, descaling should be performed monthly, or more often in hard water regions.
- Place the appliance in a pot and fill with water to the "Max" level.
- Set the appliance temperature to 70°C (158°F).
- Add 5g of food-grade citric acid powder per liter of water used.
- Allow the water to circulate for 20 minutes after reaching 70°C (158°F).
- Turn off and unplug the appliance.
- Once cool, rinse the bottom in cold water and dry before storage.
- Detaching the Column: Unlock the screw, hold and press the clamp, then rotate the column in an anticlockwise direction to remove it. Be cautious of the PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient heater) to avoid hitting the stainless steel column.
- Troubleshooting (LED Display Error Codes):
- E01: NTC Open Circuit: Contact customer support.
