I have not used my press for a few months and have misplaced the instructions on how to use it. Does any one know how to set the temperature:

No, its just a press. You will need to do that by hand or buy a destemmer/crusher.

"How do I set" has several meanings, will try to cover all of them. 1. there are no "user settings" on the temperature probe, if you want to check for approximate accuracy stick the probe in boiling water, at near sea level it should read 212, the reading will be lower as elevation above sea level increases. Or put the probe in ice water, should be near 32. 2. To set temperature alarm, use the up and down keys and slide alarm switch from off to alarm. 3.To set the down timer use the hour and minute buttons to set time and press the start/stop button to turn on/off. 4. Set the control/read out unit outside the oven and probe inside the oven. My pyres unit "died" and new ones do not have metal shield protected probe. Now use a similar unit made by Thermoworks, highly recommended. Great product and company.

No. This appliance did not work well for me so..... i replaced it with a Shark Press and Refresh some years ago. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

I never used a french press pot, but if you need boiling water for that then the answer is yes. I keep mine set at 208°. It takes just a short time to bring it up to 212°.

there should be an instruction manual a small white piece of paper that shows how to run the machine, plug in put pot on unit then push the button on the right, then hit the temp button, go over to the plus or minus buttons to set temp. i hope that helps.

You shouldn't have to "mash" anything, except potatoes ;) You press the button and insert the probe (at least that's how I do it) and the read-out will provide the temperature. You should not have to hold the button down. I've been incredibly satisfied with this item.

Push and hold the set button for 3-5 seconds until the temp flashes. Then adjust temp. After adjustment push set again.

Agree! Would be nice if they could allow users to increase the brew temp beyond the current 192 degree max. Since my brewer is next to my microwave, I just brew a cup then hit it for 20 seconds in the microwave. Wouldn't have to do that if I could increase the brew temp 10 degrees or so...

not a problem @ all. tip: place 2 circles of wax paper between each side of press when pressing tort. (1 piece on top and 1 piece on bottom. that way the dough wont stick to the press.

I just recently purchased mine and haven't thought about what would I do if the filter or plunger need to be replaced. Unfortunately I threw away the box and have no idea how a person may accomplish that :( May need to replace the entire press (perhaps used?)

I use a french press as well. I have the porlex set 10 clicks from the lowest setting.

The pot should not be placed directly on the heat source. You should heat the water separately and pour it into the press.

There is a cup warmer platform on the top right of machine. It turns on when you power up the machine to brew, but I believe there is no temp setting for it. Takes a few minutes, but the cups get sufficiently warm. I've had this machine for 6+ months and love it.

If it is new wash good in hot water with dish detergent and dry good coat it good top and bottom, with cooking oil I use cranola Put in a 300 degree oven for 1 1/2 hrs let cool and it is seasoned. I have this press works great in a 10 inch cast iron skillet [Note on cleaning real dirty cast iron skillets with alot of crud on the outside throw them in a good hot fireplace for a couple hours or until it is burnt clean, buff with a wire wheel on a grinder till bright and clean. follow the above instructions.] Good luck

The newer presses made after 06 comes with it. There should be 2 inserts with set screws for different size primers. I just use the hand priming tool cause I find it more convenient and comfortable sitting on the couch. But it works fine on the press just make sure the press and inserts are clean otherwise they tend to stick. Hope that helps
