Control Buttons: All three buttons on the Sourdough Home are touch sensitive,
like a touchscreen. If your hands are particularly dry or cold, they can feel
unresponsive.
Operation: The Sourdough Home uses a solid-state device to both heat and
cool. If the set temperature is above room temperature the unit will heat. If the

set temperature is below the room temperature the unit will cool. This action is
automatic.
Sleep mode: When the unit is on, 30 seconds after touching the controls the
display will dim. To make a change to the temperature, touch either
to wake the display, then set the temperature to your preference.
Note on temperature range: The Sourdough Home features a temperature
display with 2 digits. The highest temperature that can be set in Fahrenheit mode
is 99°F. To reach a higher temperature, change the display to Celsius mode.
The temperature can be set up to 50°C (equivalent to 122°F). If the temperature
set point in °C is above the equivalent of 99°F (37°C or higher) and the display
mode is changed from °C to °F, the temperature set point will change to 99°F, the
highest temperature that can be set in Fahrenheit mode.
Temperature accuracy: The Sourdough Home has been carefully calibrated to
operate at typical room temperature of 20-22°C (68-72°F). You can expect the
contents to be maintained at a temperature within approximately 1°C (1.8°F)
of the temperature setting. While the unit is insulated, large changes in room
temperature can influence the internal temperature. If your kitchen is very hot
or cold, you may need adjust the temperature setting higher or lower by several
degrees.
In order to test the temperature of the Sourdough Home, we recommend using a
probe thermometer inserted directly into your starter after it has been in the unit
for several hours.
Note: The Sourdough Home should not be left in direct sunlight.
Cooling mode limitation: In cooling mode, the internal temperature can
reach approximately 20°C (36°F) below room temperature. 5°C (41°F) can be
achieved in a room temperature of 25°C (77°F) or lower.
Time required to warm or cool starter: Because the Sourdough Home is
designed as a low power appliance designed for long term storage, it may take
many hours to warm or cool the contents to the temperature set point. For best
results, if you intend to keep your starter at a cold temperature, feed the starter
with cold water. Similarly, if you want the starter warm, feed with warm water.
Condensation: Water condensation may collect inside the Sourdough Home
in two situations: cooling below room temperature (especially in humid environ-
ments) or warming liquid in uncovered containers. We recommend wiping the
interior with a soft cloth or paper towel to keep the inside dry.
Cleaning: To clean, wipe the outside and inside of the unit with a soft cloth and
mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners as surfaces may be scratched.
Take extra caution when cleaning the LCD display.
