This document provides an instruction manual for the SOUS VIDE (SV-805) immersion circulator, a device designed for vacuum microtherm and slow boil cooking.
Function Description:
The SOUS VIDE (SV-805) is an appliance that facilitates precise temperature control for cooking food in a water bath. This method, often referred to as "sous vide," involves sealing food in a bag and immersing it in temperature-controlled water. The device aims to simplify the preparation of delicious foods by maintaining a consistent and accurate water temperature, ensuring even cooking and optimal results. It is specifically designed for home use. The core function is to heat and circulate water to a set temperature, allowing food to cook gently and precisely without overcooking. The device is capable of controlling both cooking time and temperature, making it suitable for various recipes that benefit from this method.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Real Temperature Range: 0-99.5°C (0-211.1°F)
- Temperature Range Setting: 0-99.5°C (0-211.1°F)
- Temperature Contrast: ±0.2°C, indicating high precision in temperature maintenance.
- Voltage:
- 100-120V-60HZ (for US markets)
- 220V-240V-50HZ (for EU markets)
- Power: 1100 W, suggesting efficient heating capabilities.
- Structure: The device features an operating panel, an indicator lamp ring, a fixed clip for attaching to a container, and a stainless steel tube that houses the heating element and circulation pump. It also has clear markings for MIN and MAX water levels to ensure safe and proper operation.
Usage Features:
The SOUS VIDE (SV-805) is designed for user-friendly operation with several key features:
- Power On/Off: A dedicated ON/OFF icon allows for easy control of the device.
- Default Settings: Upon startup, the device defaults to a cooking time of 2 hours and a temperature of 55°C. The state indicator lamp is red when active.
- Temperature Unit Conversion: Users can switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit by pressing the temperature setting icon, offering flexibility based on preference.
- Adjusting Cooking Time:
- Pressing the time setting icon changes the indicating light from "CUR" (Current) to "SET" (Set).
- Arrow buttons (< or >) allow for incremental adjustment of the cooking time.
- Long-pressing the arrow buttons enables rapid increase or decrease of the time, facilitating quick adjustments for longer cooking durations.
- Adjusting Cooking Temperature:
- Pressing the temperature setting icon changes the indicator lamp from "CUR" to "SET".
- Arrow buttons (< or >) are used to adjust the desired cooking temperature.
- Long-pressing the arrow buttons allows for quick changes to the temperature.
- Temperature Proofreading: The device is factory-calibrated for precise temperature. However, if a discrepancy is observed with another precise temperature test instrument, users can proofread the temperature:
- Simultaneously press the "<" and ">" buttons until the temperature figure flashes.
- Use the "<" or ">" buttons to adjust the displayed temperature to match the external proofreader.
- Three temperature figures flashing indicate successful completion of proofreading.
- Water Displacement Method: The manual describes a method for sealing food in a bag without a vacuum sealer, by slowly immersing the bag in water to exhaust air before sealing. This offers an alternative for users without dedicated vacuum sealing equipment.
- Safety Features: The device includes several safety warnings and precautions, such as not touching hot surfaces, avoiding immersion of electrical components in water, ensuring proper water levels (between MIN and MAX), and placing the device upright after use to prevent liquid flow-back. It also has built-in failure warnings (E1-E4) to indicate issues like sensor failures or overheating.
Maintenance Features:
While the manual does not explicitly detail a "maintenance features" section, it provides guidelines that imply maintenance practices:
- Cleaning: Users are instructed to pull the plug out of the socket and wait for the device to cool down before cleaning. This suggests that the device can be cleaned, though specific cleaning instructions are not provided in the excerpt.
- Storage: The manual advises placing the device upright after use to avoid liquid flow-back, which contributes to its longevity and proper storage.
- Troubleshooting (Failure Warnings): The device incorporates a system for detecting and displaying common failures:
- E1: Failure of anti-burning temperature sensor.
- E2: Failure of detecting water temperature sensor.
- E3: Water level sensor finds no water in the machine, indicating the need to add water.
- E4: Anti-burning temperature sensor finds the temperature higher than 110℃, suggesting an overheating issue.
These warnings serve as indicators for when maintenance or user intervention is required.
- Professional Servicing: In case of damage to the wire, plug, or the machine itself, or if it falls or is damaged for other reasons, users are advised to send it to an authorized after-sales service center for testing, maintenance, or adjustment, rather than attempting repairs themselves.
- Warranty: The product comes with a one-year warranty for mechanical defects, covering free repair or replacement of defective parts due to technology and material problems. This implies that professional maintenance and repair services are available under warranty conditions. However, the warranty does not cover misuse, lack of daily maintenance, or damage from external factors like natural disasters.
The SOUS VIDE (SV-805) is designed to be a reliable and precise tool for modern cooking, emphasizing ease of use, safety, and consistent results.
