Table of Contents

In the beginning, there was
Wolfgang Puck. There were cooks
and there were kitchens and there
were people eating food, but the
world had never seen anything
like Spago — with its California
cuisine, its casual elegance, and its
chef whose genuine warmth and
love of craft redefined the dining
experience. And they came — from
LA and from everywhere — to
experience the future. Wolfgang
Puck shaped the modern culinary
landscape: he was the first celebrity
chef, the inventor of fusion cuisine,
the first in farm-to-table. His work
is inspired by California living, and
an insistence on only the freshest
ingredients. From his legendary
fine dining icons, his entrepreneurial

spirit has built an empire — from
dining, to catering, to products for the home — touching the lives of millions
around the globe. Today, as always, Chef Puck is earnestly, restlessly, tirelessly
at work behind the scenes inventing what’s next. He is driven by a genuine
love of his craft, a passion for what’s possible, and its potential to change the
world.

Before Your First Use

Operation (cont.)

Ensure that you have removed all parts from the packaging materials
before using. Also ensure that all packaging materials are removed from
the Circulator.

Become familiar with your Sous Vide Immersion Circulator and the
functions by reading this instruction manual fully before using. Always
unplug your Circulator and wait until it has completely cooled prior to
cleaning.

Clean the Circulator according to the Care and Cleaning section of this
manual.

Operation

1

Your Circulator works best with straight-sided cookware or cooking
vessels with a minimum height of 6 inches. It is also compatible with
slightly tapered cookware and cooking vessels.

2

The Control Panel should be placed on the outside of the cooking
vessel. The bottom of the Immersion Housing must rest on the bottom
of the cooking vessel, or the Hinge must rest on the top of the cooking
vessel. The Rim Guide should always be placed inside the cooking
vessel.

3

Fill the cooking vessel with water ensuring that the level covers the the
MIN marking on the Immersion Housing.

Note: As the water temperature rises, water will begin to evaporate.
Your Circulator is programmed with a sensor that monitors the
minimum water level. If the water level goes below the minimum level,
the appliance will automatically shut off.

4

Touch and hold the Power Button for a few seconds until the Control
Panel illuminates and the appliance turns on. The display will show
the default programmed temperature of the water, and the current
temperature of the water will be blinking.

5

To change the programmed water temperature touch and release
the Set Button until the Set temperature indicator is blinking. The Set
temperature range is 32-194°F (0-90°C). Touch and release the Plus
(+) or Minus (-) Button until you reach your desired temperature, You
can also touch and hold to scroll the temperature setting at a faster
rate.

6

The Set temperature display will show the temperature rising until it
has reached the programmed temperature. Once reached, the Control
Panel will start beeping. To stop the beeping and start the count-up
Timer, touch the Minus Button (-) twice. The Timer will change to 00:00
and begin counting up to the programmed time. Once the programmed
time has been reached the Control Panel will begin beeping, the
Timer will continue counting up and the set water temperature will
be maintained. You can turn the beeping off by touching the Minus
Button (-) twice. The Timer will begin counting up from 0 a second
time and the Circulator will continue to maintain the programmed water
temperature. To turn the Circulator completely off touch and hold the
Power Button until the lights on the display turn off. Unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet.

Note: Hold finger on the Set Button for 2 seconds to change the
temperature between °C and °F.

7

Once all settings are made touch and release the Power Button to start
the Immersion Circulator.

8

The Set temperature display will show the temperature rising until it has
reached the programmed temperature. The Timer will change to 00:00
and begin counting up to the programmed time. Once the programmed
time has been reached the control panel will begin beeping, the
Timer will continue counting up and the set water temperature will be
maintained. You can turn the beeping off by touching the Minus (-)
Button twice. The Timer will begin counting up from 0 a second time
and the Circulator will continue to maintain the programmed water
temperature. To turn the appliance completely off touch and hold the
Power Button until the lights on the display turn off. Unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet.

Note: The brilliance of Sous Vide cooking is that you cannot overcook
your food. The precise temperature control will maintain the
temperature that you have programmed until you turn the appliance
off. For example, if you want your steak cooked to 138°F and the water
temperature is programed to 138°F your steak can never reach a higher
temperature than the water temperature that surrounds it. No need
to worry if you left your food in the pot longer than the set time, your
steak will remain at serving temperature.
