Is there a manual setting? I will be using this for a sous vide cooker that requires temps in the 130's - 190's F. The water will already be hot.

This is not the item for you. First of all this is for fish aquariums not for cooking. And second of all this is not made for temperatures that high. It will not read the temperature of the water. It will SET the temperature of the water, in which case you manually set the thermometer to a degree between 68F to 93F. Again this is for keeping fish alive not cooking them.

It is factory pre-set to a certain temperature. How you would normally do it is to turn on the hot water only, check temp and slowly open cold water till you reach the temp you want. If you open cold water to fast and to much, the unit will not shut off but the water will become cold instead of warm. If you turn on cold water first and then hot water, it takes to long to get warm.

that's a tricky question. You should set it at a temp you are comfortable with. If you have kids, they say not high enough that pure hot water coming from your tap can scald. But if you like crazy hot showers...it's all you. As far as knowing what the temp is...you really just have to set it, let the heater come up to temp and then check the water coming out of the faucet. Mine are set to about 130F, but based on my piping configuration (slab foundation) I only get about 115-120 at the faucet which works for me and my family. Your top and bottom thermostat should be set to the same temp. Again, its your call for whatever you are comfortable with. that's a tricky question.

It is very difficult to keep the probe cable from dropping below the water level. I place the probe inside a plastic bag and then put into the water bath. The opeing of the bag is always above water level, so no water will get in. It does not affect the temperature reading. Works good with sous vide cooking. I use this controller with a crock pot.

When I originally put mine back together, I assembled it incorrectly - limiting my hot water. I went back and realigned the gears on the temperature selector so that it would give me the entire range of temps.

good evening,the set point temperature range is 45F TO 90F which 45f would be the lowest set temp.i hope this help love the unit work really well.

Same here, ice water, spot on at 32 degrees. Boiling water 212. I think this is a very accurate thermometer. 160 is a great temp for a medium steak, which is how my wife likes them. I have used this thermometer for that purpose and it worked perfectly.

I live at an altitude where water boils at 205 degrees F (96c). I tested the new kettle twice at each setting with 1 liter of water. The water started at approximately the same temperature 70 F (21c)c. I used a calibrated thermoprobe secured 1/2 inch above the stainless plate at the bottom. At the high setting I measured 205 F; at the middle setting 205 F; at the low setting 197 F. So either mine is defective or the advertising is misleading. I'll call T-Fal and see what they say.

I will add to this that my unit (and I believe they are all supposed to), stops heating when the water temp goes over 120 degrees. This is a safety feature to prevent damage to the unit and scalding to the user. That means you have to be attentive if you are recycling water in your source bucket, as you can quickly get the temperature too hot and the safety shut off kicks in. When that happens, you have to wait a few minutes for the unit to reset, which can be a bit frustrating. This is really just part of learning how to use the AquaCube. It's not fool proof, but hey, it works!

There are temperature settings you can set if you use it in "oven" mode. There are also low, high, and keep warm settings if you want to use it like a crockpot.

The only preset temp is 300 degrees which will appear when you push the on-off button. Then you can select your cooking temp by pressing the plus or minus button repeatedly. Temp will increase in 25 degree increments until reaching max of 425 degrees.

No I don't think there's any way to change the pre-programmed temperature settings as shown in the description of the appliance. If it was me, I would heat it to the closest temperature on the 'high side,' pour the needed amount out into a glass measuring cup, insert a candy thermometer or whatever into the water and watch it closely to cool to the desired temperature.

There is a chart that comes with the thermometer that indicates the temps of various meets and temps for various stages of doneness (IS DONENESS A WORD ;)This is my second unit and I am very happy with it. I do some sous vide and checked the temp of 167 degree water and it registered 166...

I no longer have this unit although I am looking forward to purchasing another one--it got damaged in a recent move. I don't recall being able to set it to a specific temperature. From my recollection I believe you could set it from low to high or a range in between based on a dial but it never turns the unit off and on I don't believe, it just adjusts the radiant heat feature. I am responding from memory so I could be wrong.

Not a specific setting to adjust. Automatic one temperature. No problems with it being scalding hot if that is your concern.

It sounds like a defective cooker. Apparently the temperature sensor inside the unit does not know what is going on.I would try contacting the manufacturer.
