OPERATING
your Breville product
BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Be sure water bath contains water before
starting the machine.
2. Properly insert the electrical cord
(power lead) into the power inlet on the
back of the machine and then plug it
into the wall socket.
3. Press and hold the POWER ON/OFF
button for 3 seconds to turn the machine
on. You should feel a slight “click” and
hear a tone.
4. The water temperature indicator light
should illuminate and the display will
read the current temperature of the water
in the bath. (The machine will be preset
to either Celsius or Fahrenheit readings.
To change the setting, press the small
Celsius/Fahrenheit switch button.)
5. To set the desired temperature, press the
SET TEMP button. The SET temperature
indicator light will illuminate. The
default temperature of 140˚F/ 60˚C
should appear. Using the INCREASE/
DECREASE VALUE toggle arrows,
increase (+) the temperature or decrease
(-) the temperature to set to your desired
target temperature for cooking. When
you have reached the target temperature
on the display, press START button
to begin heating the water to that
temperature. An audible alert sounds as
the bath begins to heat. The HEATING
indicator light will illuminate red until
the target temperature is reached, at
which time it will turn green. (Audible
alarm, a repeating beep at 1-second
intervals, will also indicate that the
target temperature has been reached.)
6. Setting the Countdown TIMER
function is not necessary to operate
the machine. The heating element will
operate regardless of whether the timer
function has been set. Except when
cooking tender or delicate foods at
target temperatures that exceed their
normal serving temperature—during
which timing the cooking of your food
pouch could be critical to prevent
overcooking—precise timing of sous
vide cooking usually is not necessary.
To use the timer:
a) Wait to set the timer until the
water bath in your sous vide has
reached the desired target cooking
temperature and you are ready to
place the food pouches into the
water bath.
b) To use the timer function, press the
SET TIMER button. Time value in
minutes will appear in the display
window.
c) Increase/decrease timer setting
using the +/- arrows. The time
displayed will change in 1 minute
increments to 30 minutes, then will
speed up.
d) When the desired length of cooking
time has been reached, press START
button to begin timing. After a few
seconds the display will return to
display the water bath temperature.
To view remaining time at any point
in the cooking process, press SET
TIMER button.
