You can't test it in boiling water and I can't get it out of Celsius mode. I haven't even used it yet. How do I get it into Fahrenheit?

I can test boiling water with mine, but it only uses Fahrenheit mode. It doesn't seem to switch. Don't know. They seem to be very good units, but they don't last very long. You cannot get the unit wet (other than the stem). It will kill it

Press & Hold the ON/SELECT button for at least 2 seconds, per the instructions (on back next to temp chart).

Mine is on Fahrenheit not Celsius (maybe you have a different one andwe use it for frying putting it into the oil (not hitting the pan )when the temp hits 350 put the food in to fry ! Hope this helps

I couldn't get mine to switch from C to F. Finally tried to take the battery out and back in and it worked. Not a fan of the thermometer, however.

I have heard that some people warm it up by putting the container in hot water. I got mine in the summer so it was liquid. I just transfered it to another container.

My suggestion is that you check the seal on the lid and make sure that you are seating and locking the lid on properly. As far as the steam making a mess---you are probably not letting the pot cool down enough before you release the pressure. Please, read the book!

I set the red pointer in the middle on the back you will see it if you turn it around, once that is set just turn the blue wheel to the temp you desire. Also, make sure you unplug it and then you can set it, don't do it while it is in the water and plugged in, it is not how you set this up. Once all the settings are done put it back into the tank and plug it in.

Just fill it with water and turn it to keep warm or boil. It gets the water hot and and it actually stays hot on the keep warm setting. This is a very poweful appliance. I use it all the time and I love the way it works.

Water doesn't get hot, at least not on mine. I've only used it a couple of times so far. Sorry can't be of more help.Carol

It displays temperature in celsius. I don't see a way make it display Fahrenheit.

I measured it at just below boiling (97C so 207F) on one point, the rest is a little lower temperature. Total it uses 17W and converts all of to heat (not all going through your mug), so that gives you an idea of what can be done.

Also cannot figure out the temp. just bought this appliance. no point in having "control" if do not know temp.

I did not test the temp. The instruction sheet included with the pot does not say anything about temp.

Only thing I can think of is that the center tube in which the boiling water needs to rise is somehow clogged. Or perhaps the water is not reaching boiling temperature and therefore cannot bubble up the tube.

I bought it with the understanding that it did do Celsius ... but so far no way.... I did all it was recommended but the F never changed to C hope some one tells me what to do...???

You do have test the settings initially to find out what temp corresponds to what color. I just used a instant read thermometer to find out. Now I know where to set it for coffee or tea. It shuts off consistently at the setting.

Yea we had the same problem. I think there's a problem with the seal, so it won't steam. We just returned it and gave up on it. If you've got a pressure cooker or even just a steamer + a blender you can make your own without baby food without this overpriced piece of defective garbage.

cover it with a towel- then place in boiling water for about 15 mins. use tongs to check that its liquid and to remove - then let cool for a few mins before you use it for heat

The water boiling over has nothing to so with the pot being defective; you either have too much water in it or the heat is too high. Since it happens again after stirring I would say the heat is too high. The pot and lid are very good quality.

Hi Adrienne. I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. When you first plug it in (and put water in it) you'll see that the temperature indicator light for 185 degrees lights up. If you press the "reboil/temp. Set" button, you'll see that you can select other temps that way. Keep pressing until it lands on the 208.4 F temp. It'll start boiling right away. It doesn't keep the water at 212 F (the boiling point) but at 209.4, the perfect temp for black tea. You can press that button again to get it to boil if you want (like for hot cereal or something that calls for boiling water). Does that answer your question?
