Important cord information
This appliance is equipped with a 3-wire cord set that has a
3-wire grounding plug. It should be properly connected to a
grounding-type outlet. The plug is designed to fit a grounded
3-prong outlet ONLY and as such, the grounding prong should
never be removed. Do not modify this plug. If the plug does not
fit the outlet securely, call a qualified electrician for assistance.
A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord)
is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entan-
gled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are
available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is
used:
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance;
2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape
over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over unintentionally; and
3) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or
extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

Intended use
This sous-vide stick is designed exclusively for cooking vacuum-
packed foods. The appliance is not intended for any other
purpose, nor for use beyond the scope described. The appliance
is intended for use in private households only and not for use in
commercial or industrial environments. The appliance is intended
only for indoor domestic use. Claims of any kind for damage
resulting from misuse, incompetent repairs, unauthorized modifi-
cation, or the use of unauthorized spare parts will not be
accepted. The risk shall be borne solely by the user.
Danger if not used as intended! The appliance may be
hazardous if used for any other purpose or for use beyond the
scope described in these operating instructions.
► Use the appliance only for its intended purpose.
► Observe the procedures described in these operating instructions.
What does sous-vide mean?
Sous-vide (French for under vacuum) or vacuum cooking is a
special cooking method in which the food is first vacuum-packed
in special plastic bags and then cooked at a low temperature in
a water bath. The cooking temperatures remain under 212 °F,
which makes it a very gentle cooking method. The low temperatures
change the products more slowly at a molecular level, making
the cooking results all the more tender and juicy. In sous-vide
cooking, the airtight packaging retains nearly all the flavor and
nutrients, which makes vacuum-cooked food particularly flavorful.
The aromas of spices and other flavors become more intense
under a vacuum. Therefore, use them sparingly and add more
later if necessary.
Another benefit is that the core temperature can be controlled
precisely – so the rule of thumb is: water temperature = core
temperature. Overcooking the food is almost impossible if the
temperature has been correctly set since the individual ingredients
do not get any hotter than the temperature of the water.

Cooking food at core temperature
The following tables show the temperature of a piece of food
(e.g. a piece of meat) when the core temperature is reached. This does
not change even after longer submersion in the pot, as the core tempera-
ture in the food is never higher than the set water temperature.
The core temperature is the temperature in the middle of the food.
We recommend the following temperatures to reach the best degree of
cooking:
Food Core tempera-
ture Cooking level
Beef, lamb, pork,
and game
120°F blue – almost raw
124°F–130°F rare – cooked around the
edge
130°F–140°F medium rare –
a large part still pink
140°F–150°F medium – pink in the
middle
150°F–154°F medium well done – al-
most completely cooked
154°F–160°F well done –
thoroughly cooked
Poultry
162°F
(boneless) cooked
186°F
(with bones) cooked
Fish and seafood
104°F glazed –
barely done
106°F–114°F "mi-cuit" –
half cooked
114°F–130°F "a point" – firm
Vegetables 180°F–190°F cooked
►Please note that poultry may only be eaten when it is thoroughly cooked
to avoid the risk of a salmonella infection.
