• Vacuum sealing does not reduce the presence of micro-organisms: cook the food immediately
after sealing it in the pouch.
• The quality of the food, which must be fresh, is very important.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

• The sous vide cooking system is for use with pouches suitable for food and cooking.
Pouches must be sealed. Laica recommends vacuum-sealed pouches which guarantee the
best results.
• Put the seasoned food in the pouch and vacuum seal with a LAICA vacuum machine.
• When preparing food with liquid content, expel as much air as possible from the pouch before
sealing it.
• Cook the food as soon as it has been vacuum sealed.
• During cooking, check that the pouch is always immersed in the water to ensure the food is
cooked evenly.
• When setting the cooking time, take into account the thickness of the food that you want to
cook: the thicker it is, the longer it will take to cook.
• When inserting more that one piece of food in the same bag, distribute the pieces well so as
to not create overlapping that can lead to uneven cooking.
• In the case of overcooking, low-temperature cooking prevents you from spoiling the dishes:
the food does not burn, does not become stringy and does not dry out.
• Cooking times and temperatures may vary depending on personal taste preference and the
style of preparation of the dish.
There is an extensive section on the www.laica.it website dedicated to easy-to-prepare recipes
to make in your own kitchen with LAICA Sous Vide cooking appliances.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Before using for the first time, rinse the heating element under running water without
getting the grip wet.
2. Fasten the clamp to the side of a suitable cooking pot and tighten the screws.
3. Place the cooking pot on a flat, solid surface that is flame retardant and heatproof.
4. Insert the appliance into the clamp with the support foot facing the metal part of the clamp.
5. Fill the pot with water up to a level between the MIN and MAX levels indicated on the
heating element.
Remember that the water level will rise when the pouch is immersed in the water.
The water level must be between MIN and MAX.
Using warm water is recommended to speed up the water heating phase.
6. Plug the device in: it will give an audible beep and the " " key will come on and flash.
7. Press the " " key for about 5 seconds: the display will show the pre-set temperature and
time of 56.0°C and 8 hours.
The device is factory set to display °C; to change from °C to °F (56.0°C - 133°F), press and
hold the " M " key for about 3/5 seconds. Caution: if no key is pressed within ten seconds,
the device will start the pre-set cycle.
8. To change the factory settings, press the "

Every time you press the keys, the time changes by one minute up to 2 hours, by 30
minutes from 2 to 72 hours.
10. When the data has been set, press the " " key to start the device: the water heating
phase starts and the display will show the actual water temperature.
11. When the water reaches the temperature set for cooking, it will be shown on the display,
the device will emit three audible beeps and the cooking phase will start. Immerse the
vacuum-sealed food in the pot.
The device displays the set time as it decreases.
You can interrupt cooking at any time by pressing the " " key: the display shows the pre-
set data. To restart cooking, you must reset the temperature and time.
12. When the set time expires, the device will emit 3 audible beeps and switch off (the " "
key will stay on and flash).
13. Unplug the appliance and remove the pouch containing the cooked food with heat-resistant
tongs.
If the food is to be eaten immediately, it can be seared to finish it a pan for a few minutes
after removing it from the vacuum pouch.
If not consumed immediately, chill blast the food straight after cooking using a
chill blaster or by immersing the pouch in ice and water.
If the water temperature is lowered to a level below the set temperature (to insert the vacuum
pouch or when topping up with cold water), the heating element will automatically raise the
temperature to the one pre-set at the start.
The actual temperature is displayed constantly. Take this into account and adjust cooking times
accordingly.
