OPERATION SAFETY

This section explains the potential dangers that may arise when operating the Anova

Precision

cooker sous vide circulator and notes many important safety precautions.

Counter tops such as marble and Corian

cannot withstand the heat generated by

the circulator. Place cooking container

different surface to prevent damage.

Do not use extension cords. Never oper-

ate with a damaged cord or plug.

Use properly grounded electrical outlets

only.

Do not immerse system past the top etch

mark of stainless steel skirt. Only the stain-

less steel skirt and the pump housing are

dishwasher safe. Unplug from outlet when

not in use and before the cleaning pro-

cess.

Burn Hazard - the cooking container, the

stainless steel portion of circulator, and

food pouches all get hot when used. Use

oven mitts or tongs when handling. Allow

system to cool before emptying the water

bath.

This system is an indoor appliance and is

not a toy.

If your circulator falls into water, discon-

nect power ASAP to avoid shock. Then

send back system to repair (water dam-

age not covered by warranty). Do not

retrieve the unit until you have unplugged

the cord. Do not attempt to use the sys-

tem if this has happened.

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE. OBSERVE ALL

WARNING LABELS. Do not remove warning

labels.

Do not use this appliance for anything

other than intended use. (Like laboratory

work or heating a hot tub)

Firmly lock the circulator on the bath tank

with the screw clamp - Place the con-

tainer on an even surface to prevent spills

and tipping over. Do not place unit on a

stove, or in an oven.

DO NOT USE DEIONIZED WATER (DI water)

INTRODUCTION

Anova Precision

sous vide circulators are precision temperature controlled circulators

Anova circulators are not designed for direct contact with food. Do not

use Anova circulators to directly contact food – at no time should food

products also come in contact with bath ﬂ uid. Food must be vacuum-

sealed, heat sealed, or zip locked before use with the circulator.

Food products like juice, soup or milk products still need to be bagged or

sealed in jars for cooking.

Only the stainless steel skirt and pump cover are dishwasher safe – the

heating circulator and display contain sensitive electronics and cannot

be placed into the dishwasher.

SETUP

Anova sous vide circulators are designed to be used only with water.

SETUP (clamp & pot)

Anova Precision

cooker circulators require a 4.25 inch (11cm) deep container or pot.

1) Place the ring clamp on the side

of your container and turn the lower

clamp knob until it is tight.

2) Place the circulator into the ring

clamp

SETUP (clamp)

3) turn the top system clamp knob until

tight.

SETUP (pump direction)

The pump can channel ﬂ ow around large objects or away from delicate foods.

1) Turn the Precision

cooker in the ring clamp.

2) Take off the pump cap, then reinstall with the output pointing to a different

direction to change the output direction of the water ﬂ ow.

For extremely delicate foods like eggs or ﬂ ounder - turn the output to the back of

the container wall. For large roasts or crowded pots turn the output so the water

jet is not blocked by the foods.

Why Change Pump Flow Direction?

Precision cooking requires the temperature to be even all the way around the

food. For crowded pots or large objects this could mean uneven cooking. For

delicate objects like eggs or ﬁ sh the water jet can damage ﬁ llets or crack eggs

when “blown” around in the container.

SETUP (set temp)

Changing Temperature:

1) Turn the scroll wheel up or down

SETUP (start/stop)

Start/Stop:

1) Press “Play”

SETUP (change c/f units)

Changing Temperature Units:

1) Hold down the Play/Start button for 3 seconds

SETUP (Bluetooth)

Enter Pairing Mode:

1) Press “Bluetooth” symbol. Please note if your system is already paired,

this action will break pairing

SETUP (timer)

To display Timer function:

1) Press and hold “Play/Start” for 8 seconds -

2) Press and hold the timer icon for 3 seconds to set time via the scroll wheel.

Pressing start or the timer icon again will start the timer countdown

Why is the timer function not toggled on from the beginning?

In sous vide cooking temperature is far more important than the time. In fact

for most steak dishes going over time multiple hours doesn’t change results as

long as you have the correct temperature.

SETUP (small pots)

For small pots:

1) Place the system

in the ring clamp

2) Let the unit rest

on the bottom of the

pot then tighten the

top knob of the ring

clamp.

Maintenance

BEFORE BEGINNING SERVICE:

• Always turn off and unplug the unit.

• Internal service work must be performed by Anova certiﬁ ed personnel only

• Make sure system is at room temperature

Check for signs of damage including pulled cord or physical damage to system

or heaters. If any signs of physical damage are found send back for factory ser-

vice and replacement parts.

Repairs:

If your system falls into the water or is physically damaged, contact Anova Culi-

nary LLC for a return authorization number and instructions.

Maintenance (assembly)

Twist the skirt to the left until it comes off.

Sometimes the impellers will get

caught on the side of the skirt as

the skirt is getting pulled off. Jiggle

the skirt from side to side to loosen

up the skirt

You can also remove the pump

cap ﬁ rst to remove the skirt.

Maintenance (skirt/pump)

Turn the pump cap out of the lock position then pull off.

The skirt and pump cap can be placed into the dishwasher.
