If the cooking temperature is adjusted after Sousvant has reached the COOK state, with the timer
running, the cooker will begin adjusting the water temperature to the newly programmed value,
however the cook timer will continue to run. Note that, if the desired cooking temperature is
adjusted downward, to a point significantly below the current water temperature, it could take quite
some time for the water to naturally cool to the newly programmed temperature.
Stopping Cooking
Sousvant will continue to cook at the programmed cooking temperature until the STOP button is
pressed. STOP will cause the cooker to stop heating and circulating water through the cooking ca-
rafe and return to the OFF state. The cook timer will be reset to 00:00, and the temperature display
will revert to the SET temperature. As a safeguard, Sousvant will automatically STOP the cooking
cycle if the cook timer reaches 72 hours.
Cooking should always be stopped with the STOP button before attempting to remove the carafe
from the base.
The Cook Timer
When the COOK state is initially reached, the cook timer will begin by displaying minutes and
seconds (0:00 then 0:01, 0:02, etc) and the colon (:) between the digits will be lit solid. The timer will
continue to display minutes and seconds until it reaches 59:59. Once the timer reaches one hour, it
begins displaying hours and minutes (1:00, then 1:01, etc), and the colon between the digits blinks
once each second. To reset the cook timer, press and hold the COOK button for 3 seconds.
Note that, in the event of a power failure during cooking, the cook timer will be reset to 00:00. If the
cooking water is still above a safe temperature of 131°F (55°C) when power returns, cooking will
resume at the programmed SET temperature. In this case, the COOK indicator will blink to indicate
that the timer was reset by a power failure. In the event that the cooking water is below 131°F (55°C)
when power returns, Sousvant will display a FAIL 7 indication.
Notes About Cooking
1. For convenience, each time a cooking cycle is started by pressing the COOK button, Sousvant
will remember the programmed cooking temperature. The programmed temperature will
return to that initial SET value for the start of the next cooking cycle, even if the cooker has
been unplugged. Additional adjustments made after the cooking cycle has been started will not
be remembered.
2. The chosen cooking temperature and cooking time should always be provided by a reliable
recipe, intended for sous vide use. While Sousvant will accommodate recipes which call for
extremely low cooking temperatures, we do not recommend consuming food cooked at
temperatures lower than 131°F (55°C) for more than 2 hours. Higher temperatures generally
allow shorter minimum cooking times for food safety. The operator should refer to available time
vs. temperature cooking charts to determine safe cooking temperatures and times.
