Maintenance
Regular cleaning and proper storage will extend the lifespan of your Inkbird Sous Vide Cooker.
- Cleaning the Immersion Tube: After each use, ensure the stainless steel immersion tube is clean. If mineral deposits or food residue are present, wipe with a damp cloth.

- Storage: Store the device in a dry, cool place. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
Troubleshooting
- Device Not Powering On: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
- Temperature Not Reaching Target: Ensure the water level is sufficient and the pot is covered to minimize heat loss. Verify the set temperature is correct.
- Wi-Fi Connection Issues: Confirm your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal. Ensure the device is within range of your router. Restart both the device and your router if issues persist. Refer to the InkbirdPro app for specific connection troubleshooting steps.
- Unusual Noises: While the device is designed for quiet operation, check for any obstructions in the water circulation area if unusual noises occur.
