Why is my SV1 still beeping?

If you use the SV1 correctly there will not be any continuous beeping. You have to press the "play" or start button on the machine once the water reaches the temperature you have set. Once the water temperature achieves the "set temp" it will 'beep'. To stop the beeping and start the timer the "play" or start button must be pressed. The acknowledgement will be the ":" or colon in the "set time" will begin to flash signaling the timer mode is working. Once the cook time expires, it beeps again notifying that the cook time is complete. The negative reviewers are simply not using the machine correctly. They use an external timer not realizing that the beeping of the machine is just a reminder to them to set the timer on the machine and as soon as they do so the beeping will stop.
