Starting your session: preheat, pause, resume, extend

Once you've set session duration and temperatures, you're ready to start. This article walks through the full session lifecycle: preheat, active session, pause, resume, and extend.

Start preheat

From the home screen, double-tap the Power (O) button.

The screen switches to Pre-heating mode and shows a blue countdown next to the real-time temperature. Preheat lasts 8 minutes.

Skip preheat

If you want to start your session immediately, for example on a back-to-back session with a warm bowl, press and hold O for 2 seconds during preheat.

This is the only way to bypass the preheat phase.

Active session

When the countdown ends, the screen reads "Enjoy your session". VOLTA holds the target Cap and Side temperatures for the duration you set.

Pause the session

To pause, single-press O during the active session.

The screen reads "Paused" and both heating zones stop. The bowl will start to cool.

Resume the session

To resume after a pause, double-tap O.

The screen returns to the active session view and reheats back to your set temperatures.

Extend the session

If your bowl is still going strong when the timer runs low, double-tap O during the active session.

Each tap adds 10 minutes. The maximum total session length is 150 minutes.

Caution

The top cap and bowl area stay hot throughout the session and for several minutes after. Always wait for the device to cool before touching the bowl. Use the included tweezers to remove the bowl.
